Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.
If anything, I'd say that's the single best case for buying IBM - if you're incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you'll be OK.
That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.
That's not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell's about to break loose.
But whose turn is it?
Can someone enlighten me as to what is M$ doing this time?
I had to install windows the other day on my kids laptop, and had to skip like 10 screens of Microsoft ads and then disable OneDrive, but saw nothing about Dropbox.
Edit: my household has been using Mint for a few years now, the m$ enshitification was just too much for us. I only had to install windows on my kids school laptop because they won't accept anything else...
Snake?
That would reduce profits significantly, and that's the only reason they'd be against that.
For all we know, it's a 50/50 that the customer service guy receives back an email back from that email that supposedly is not accessible saying "WTF I have no idea what you're talking about, was my account hacked?"
But since you're that gullible - hey bro, that wallet in your back pocket is mine, I put it there when I washed my jeans. Hand it back now, I paid for it and I'm 100% entitled to it!!
Yeah, I agree with all of your points.
I'm not American, but my understanding of the system is that the long term plan for the country isn't meant to be set by the president, but by the legislature - passing laws and creating federal bodies that steer the country.
Instead, there's absolutely no laws being agreed upon, only presidents that try to impose their view for a while until they're replaced by whoever's next who then breaks everything.
The courts are then thrown on to the spotlight and asked by the country to fill up a role who's not actually theirs, and I don't even want to go into the issues with appointment of judges.
Not that the system in China is any better, they just happen to have a guy who's ruthless enough to hold onto power with no opposition, and seems to actually care about his country - but he isn't gonna last for ever, and there's zero guarantee that the power struggles after he's gone won't tear the country to shreds, or that the next up isn't a fucked up moron like the orange...
The worrying part is that they kinda seem to be implementing good policies for (at least some of) their people.
There's a lot of disturbing stuff, and probably a whole lot more that we don't even know about, but social security, education, healthcare - my impression is that they're going the right way, while the US looks eager to go back to the Dark ages.
Just with STEM degrees, they're producing almost 5x more graduates than the US, and they've surpassed the number of doctorates a long time ago too.
The current world balance won't hold one more generation.
Well played sir, well played.
Are they all your phones, or different house members? Can you "pool" your photos together?
We've been doing this with all our phones for a long time using nextcloud. I'd like to use a more photo-oriented app, but the last I tried it, it just wasn't there yet.
KOTOR is such an amazing game... I've replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn't, it's still an amazing game after all these years
