Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

Hell you can even just change desktop environments to shake things up as well.

If this is black magic, will I be subject to some sort of witch trial in the near future?

At that point why not run a WDS

The best part was not feeling like I should be doing something else.

I felt like sitting my lazy ass on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn was exactly where I was supposed to be for once.

There’s no way they’re this stupid, right?

You can piss off the rich folks, but most regular people won’t care most of the time, especially since people don’t give a flying fuck about their data privacy anyway, but this is the point where you really put a target on your back.

Stick to casinos, finance and market makers, the general public won’t bat an eye. Go after kids at a non profit? Well good luck, no one is even pretending to be on your side anymore.

How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

Hard disagree.

With Windows you’re paying Microsoft for the privilege of them turning on a vacuum for all your private data AND showing you ads as well.

If anything Windows is worse than MacOS from that standpoint at this point, and both companies need a huge about face for anti-competitive behaviour.

Yea what kind of privacy and amenities are provided?

Is this going to introduce “body tracking” similar to oculus hand tracking so it knows where the body is for it to become an AR wank? That’d be a game changer if VR wank.

Because a significant amount of our economy and daily life is predicated on filling it with superfluous crap. These ads are just a race for crap de jour.

I really hope all these commercial real estate entities sink into a deep hole.

They’ll try to blame people for not wanting to come into the office, but they need to die, the parasitic clowns they are.

He looks like someone started dating Bill Nye, then changed to Bill Nighy but messed up and crumpled it up and threw it away.

Beautiful! Thanks so much

There are a handful of features that I really like with qbittorrent but there were plugins I can’t find replacements for from Deluge:

• having items deleted after meeting seeding requirements, as *arr auto imports, but having exceptions for private trackers
• the above without having the *arr stack have a permanent warning
• auto adding public default trackers to any public torrent

I’ve switched back and forth a few times and I run them side by side but let deluge take the reins of most of it because I have it set up to be hands off with the above.

If anyone knows how I can set up qbt the same way that would be great though

“Disney had more or less trained audiences to expect big, hot Pixar content at home,” explained Brandon Katz, an entertainment industry strategist at Parrot Analytics.

I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.

Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just… Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.

And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.

And yet that’s barely an accomplishment.

Just because stepping in a pile of shit is worse than stepping in a puddle doesn’t mean I should aim for every puddle I come across.

They’ve learned forgotten more lessons than they’ll ever remember.

In the last 10 years we still see these behaviours by way of:

• changing over to a subscription model for office then dropping support for older versions to basically force people to move to their new model, locking many prior VLSC or on-premises exchange features behind very high subscriptions
• after releasing the new version of the edge browser are now using their integration in their software suite to disregard the user’s default browser choice and open in edge anyway. Having to now go through an extra menu set to tell their software to respect the default browser set in the OS
• lying about Win 10 being the final version of windows only to turn around and add a TPM requirement which automatically disqualifies a significant amount of hardware from being able to upgrade

This is just three examples off the top of my head, respectively. We could talk about ads in a paid OS, constant nags to please pretty please use their browser, breaking prior software to integrate “new” versions that don’t add any user improvements but do add significant upgrades to telemetry and usage data, and so on.

Brave pushed affiliate links to users without consent. They’ve even more recently been installing VPN software without user permission.

For a “user, privacy-focused browser” they’re really missing the point.

Microsoft is a wonderful success story that being one of the first, and being parasitic, anti-competitive and anti-consumer, all while failing upwards by having some of the buggiest production releases out there on increasingly bloated software, is all that really counts to Wall Street.

And most of the world is too afraid to split off from it because it’s what they know.

I just watched Fight Club again, and this was literally Ed Norton’s character’s job.

If the number for the recall or redesign is higher than the lawsuits, they don’t do it. They let people die.

The only way to fight it is to have an automatic adjustment to all unit and wrongful death payouts times 10, hell 1000. There should be no cost on a human life.
