That’s IMO a big part of what’s different between the 7 transition and this one. Last time Microsoft was going around upgrading people’s computers for them, and even if people didn’t want to jump to 10 right away, they allowed Win 7, 8, and 8.1 keys to activate it pretty much whenever. Now with their hardware requirement, they’re official line is telling people without TPM that their hardware is junk when they stop supporting Win 10. That drove people to look for the better alternative Microsoft won’t tell you about.

Highest disapproval poll numbers of his career, congratulations.

Or, highest poll numbers of his career of people who want to see the full Epstein files on him.

Hello, and welcone to Lemmy. Glad you made it, here’s my overall advice:

• No need to get hung up over a few early downvotes on your comment that might cause its score to go negative for a bit. People can be strongly opinionated here. Not everyone agrees with me on this, but I do appreciate people willing to post honestly held unpopular opinions and play a reasonable devil’s advocate in threads. (This is different than just being a contrarian.)
• For your own and everyone’s benefit, try to engage in thoughtful, well reasoned and good faith discussion with empathy for others where it’s due. If you feel like a chain of replies is going nowhere good, there’s no shame in walking away from it.
• Report and block the jerks, trolls and spammers you might encounter like on any forum-like site. Don’t let them spoil your experience when most people here are respectful.

Enjoy your time here!

How often would you like to hear about Beef Stroganoff?

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for lowering their grocery prices to 10% above last year.

Well I hope Democrats give it an honest try in all these red districts.

November 4th this year gave me a glimmer of hope. It’s not guaranteed but I’m feeling like this…

Israel First, Argentina First, America Last.

I’ve had a lot less of a desire to pirate games after moving to Linux full time a few years ago. But FitGirl has been the one reliable place for public torrents, compaed to chancing it on the third Google Link or scrolling through the Russian CS-Rin-Rulette forum to find links.

This movie sequel will be mandated by Trump’s Freedom-of-Speech Certified ™ state media critics, to recreate the Jackie Chan saying the N word scene, in order to be approved. /j

I love that none of the media has stuck with Trump’s renaming of stuff.

Call me a shill, but Valve’s actions indicate that they care about the money that comes from improving a product or service. That differentiates them from many publicly traded companies that care about money at the expense of the quality of their own products and services.

Folks, they were definitely the best numbers ever in Donald’s living memory, which has a capacity of 30 seconds.

Climate change deputy minister going to climate change conference, in a glitzy oil funded country. $18k for a six day conference is within the realm of reasonableness. Round trip business class tickets for one person YVR - DXB will run you around 10K CAD. Economy is still like 2.5k.

I guess he could save 18k, attend remotely and let Chevron, Shell, bp, and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers do all the handshaking and talking.

The bill has in the provision that those redactions must be specifically targeted and temporary. Redactions must come with a summary and legal justification.

This judge was like, Texas had a whole plan to gerrymander away PoC while pretending it has nothing to do with race as approved by the Supreme Court. The DOJ can’t keep their mouth shut and are too incompetent to understand the nuance of the case they were citing.

I think it depends on how much the implicated billionaires and some of the smarter Republicans are involved in editing the files.

If the Trump admin is doing it alone, I bet that this redaction will be completed so sloppily and incompetently, there will be enough crumbs and hints leftover that we’ll be able to paint a picture to see more on how Trump and Republicans are involved.

I think they are referring to the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

Much of the point of an preliminary injunction is to prevent irreversible harm to parties… but in their selective application of them, they repeatedly value the executive branch’s feelings over the Constitution, the rule-of-law, and in this case a US$1T clusterfuck on the people of the United States.

I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.

This bubba thing is making my day.
