I love in Oklahoma, Tornado Alley, and most of our lines are on poles. So every bad storm or tornado, we lose power. And every time it’s suggested, “experts” cover back and say it’s too expensive. I didn’t believe it - all the manpower and cost to rebuild would be gone vs a one time burying cost. But of course, there’s no kickbacks on lines that don’t need repairing.

I’m sure the East coast is the same deal. Someone’s making money off that outage.

They know that killing support early makes it easier for people to just buy new hardware, which likely has new windows purchased/included. More money, less effort. And since most environments are locked into the platform, no one gets away.

I’m already moving a lot of hardware to Linux, but I’ll be damned if I give MS any more money.

I already don’t use Twitter, and encourage my friends not to, either. But I did that years ago. There’s not really a whole lot else I can do? Start a Fight Club, squat in an old condemned house, and blow up their building at the end? I have bills to pay and family that depends on those bills being paid.

As someone who does IT audits for banks in Puerto for FDIC audits, this is scary. The banks will embezzle, but they’ll also get hacked so we won’t know where the money went.

This makes me think twice about having a bank account at all.

Holy shit, he actually did it! Incredible, he must’ve read my Lemmy post!

Seriously though, that was a long time coming. Leonard is an old, old man. At least he gets to die in freedom.

I think my brain knows it would solve too many plot points too easily. I’m stuck in a 90s dreamscape where all the pay phones are broken.

Thank you so much for reporting back how you fixed it! This will definitely help others at some point.

Oh, gross. I haven’t seen many videos of him (especially lately) so I guess I hadn’t seen enough of his stuff for his personality to come through.

Why is Musk mad at AsmonGold? Did he dunk on Elon for paying others to play his account?

I just… Fail to see the reason Elon should dedicate his time to fighting with a neet shut in. Asmon turned off donations on his stream. He doesn’t care about money, political influence, or bathing. Just games. What possible gain would there be in trying to mess with him? The richest person to have ever existed in history, in a slap fight with a dude that lives in a dirty hovel? It almost sounds like trying to fight Diogenes.

And exposing his editors isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is. They just protect him from YouTube’s crappy rules.

It sure seems like a cool accessibility tool, but he spent the whole time taking about why he did it, and magnets, that it glosses over the “how does it work?” Part that really matters. It’s not just a keyboard, so I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m hoping he has other videos that explain the concept.
