This post is more reasonable and well written than plenty of stuff I have seen from actual right wingers. I worry when people cosplay too hard, sometimes it becomes real.

Yes. We are fucked.

Reddit has employees and servers in Europe, including EU countries. GDPR most definitely applies.

I don’t know about Windows, on Linux it’s at the function level, and some cases are tricky.

Every smart TV is a dumb TV too. Mine has some smart stuff, I think, but I have never used it, and it has never been online.

It’s more machine now than man. Twisted and evil.

They’re probably banning it in local elections.

It may not have been your intention but your comment came out dickish. Since your English is so good you should be able to phrase things better.

The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn’t even that much democracy at home.

The narcissist’s prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.

It’s not that Apple makes amazing stuff, it’s that other companies really put out barely shiny turds.

Look at the zune, the tech was fine, or so I have heard, but it looked like an ugly brick. Seriously, a regular red brick looks better, even a yellow brick does.

I have a Subaru, and while I love it, the infotainment system is garbage. Clearly there was no effort to make it look good and usable.

UX is hugely undervalued, I wonder if one of the reasons is because you don’t notice good UX, it’s not in the way, but you noticed bad UX. So good UX without a lot of marketing is invisible.

A lot of those are condos where you get cable and Internet bundles together, and you don’t even have a choice. Others might be getting a bundle but only using the Internet side. I was sick with the first for years.

I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4838DPW9ETo&pp=ygUQY3ViYW5vcyBlbiBydXNpYQ%3D%3D

And they claim they were told they would rebuild cities destroyed in the war, but not take part in it. So they were expecting to go to Ukraine, just not as soldiers.

I don’t have a lot of trust in any of the parties involved in this, I’m just reporting it.

Immigration is complicated, and you are thinking only of “legal” immigration. It is extremely common for people to ignore those laws. And a job is not always required, no.

You (generic you) don’t need to really emigrate to a country to receive treatment, you could go with a tourist visa or visa free and get treated, then go back to the shitty country without universal healthcare where you live.

In my home country everyone has access to healthcare because it’s a human right, so by law it doesn’t matter what your immigration status is, you will get care. This includes cancer treatment, for free.

You don’t have to be rich, it takes a couple thousand dollars, the problem is to not become homeless afterwards…

Ooh, now I want to label SAE stuff as standard and metric as standarder.

I love that “standard” means non-standard. I only have metric nuts and bolts, I use them for 3D printed stuff, car and bikes, and I have imperial screws and wrenches for wood working and car. I think my car is all metric, but it just felt safe to get a dual kit.

Uh, what? Most Catholics aren’t circumcised, that’s an American thing.

Mad at Pepsi? Haha that’s a funny way to put it. He got fired when he butted heads with Sculley, the former PepsiCo president, that he had hired, and the board sided with Sculley.

Giving credit to Apple/NeXT for software made by a different company is creative. The same logic applied to Microsoft makes things interesting.

I’m aware of the history, but I don’t think you understood what I wrote. An app store was written for NeXT by an independent company, without Jobs’ involvement.

Would you give credit to Bill Gates for all windows software written while he was CEO?

Apple did not invent the term “app”, “app store”, or the concept of an app store. There was an app store called App Store for NeXT in 1991 that Jobs knew about, and many similar systems in the intervening years.

The only thing different about Apple’s app store was the restriction on users’ ability to install apps from other sources.

Jobs was great at business, not at tech.
