Socialism isn’t even on offer these days. What Republicans consider socialist stretches all the way from communism to conservatism.

Apple’s processors may be impressive these days, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that their computers are getting ever less useful.

I don’t see why you’d choose Edge. And you don’t need a VM to run it in Linux - there are Linux packages readily available.

Netanyahu has done a lot to help the world see this propaganda game for what it is. Not worth genocide, but it’s a slight silver lining. The “criticism is antisemitism” strategy won’t work forever for Israel.

Also, I bet you’re a programmer.

You get that, right?

I wonder how it feels to be talked to like this.

$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.

Coming soon to a USA near you.

The people that get me are the ones who brake and you have no idea what they’re doing, then they stop and you still don’t know what they’re doing, then they turn, and halfway through the turn they start to signal. What do they think signalling is for?

Dropbox is better value and faster, in my experience, than these others. And when it backs up photos, it doesn’t hold them hostage on its servers so you have to keep paying or you lose access to them, unlike Google at least. Nor does it try to trick you into saving files to it when you don’t want to, so you fill up your quotas and end up paying more, like OneDrive. I still think Dropbox is the best of the bunch. It will be a shame to see it go to shit.

The car was pushing the fast asleep (at the wheel) agenda.

I had to read the article just to be able to parse the headline.

the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware

And yet there’s a recent update that keeps killing my Windows VMs. They’ll run for a while then one day they install the update and won’t boot again. It really feels like MS have lost control of Windows testing these days.

Fascism can only function with the help of amoral profiteering corporations. Unfortunately there’s never any shortage of those under capitalism.

I think the point is that some capitalists, both in business and in politics, encourage us to put our faith in future carbon capture so they can keep profiting off their polluting activities for now without having to invest in carbon emissions reduction. This is unrealistic and just an excuse not to tackle the difficult task of reducing emissions. We can’t afford to let the problem become that much worse before we attempt to mitigate it by sucking carbon out of the atmosphere, if there’s ever a technology that can do that effectively (which right now doesn’t look likely). We need to focus most of our efforts on reducing emissions.

Microsoft profits off genocide and intends to keep doing so.

And to those who say “well, the Earth will bounce back”: we’re much closer to the end of Earth’s ability to support life than to the beginning. Earth doesn’t have endless time to evolve new kinds of creatures. We could be doing damage from which Earth’s biodiversity never recovers.

One difficulty with that is that the way we organize economies currently depends on having a working-age population that is large enough to support the non-working population. When you have far fewer workers than retired people you start having problems. I don’t know what the answer to that is, but it’s another instance of how any plan to seriously address climate change tends to require deep changes to how we run society. The current systems can’t simply be tweaked to make the problem go away.

You can’t really get addicted to fedi

Hmm… anxiously eyeing my Lemmy post history…

Sounds pathologically self-centered, and a recipe for a sad life.
