This sounds like a way to get media companies and tech companies to fight.

Unfortunately I expect that they will both somehow win and individuals will be worse off. This is the U-S-A god damn it.

And with the legal/SC climate being what it is, I bet the FTC won’t even have the power to plug that one hole.

Any time you’re working with somebody who has to deal with the general public(or general workforce) though, you gotta be understanding.

They have to sort through the clueless people who turned off their monitor, and they have to deal with the Dunning-Kruger people who lie about what they did because they think they’re so damn smart.

And if it’s the first contact level 1 type support, they may not have the expertise to tell the difference and have to rely on the scripts.

I just had to search to find my work monitors’ controls yesterday! All the way on the back.

I get credit for knowing they were turnoffable though.

These are the things I can do without: =±*/

I’ve been to Sweden a couple times, and the real food they serve in hotels or cafeterias versus the industrial processed eating product that we usually have in the US really puts us to shame.

But that goes for many aspects of the culture. The whole, you know, respect other humans thing.

Sounds like one of those rare cases where engineering and marketing might agree on something.

Have you tried Linux Mint yet?

I recently installed it on a Dell laptop (work) to dual boot, and it seemed pretty much as simple as installing windows.

I’m a daily Linux user and had been using other distros in VMs, but I still wanted to try it.

I’d venture a guess that his primary skill in life and business is pressuring other people so that he gets what he wants.

Yeah, as if plenty of men wouldn’t have a baby with a rich woman if she was offering $100k/mo child support or some shit.

The numbers work differently if you swap the sexes like that, but the motivations don’t.

Yeah it’s depressing and stupid, but for what it’s worth, it is much less about you and much more about all the bad faith fucknuggets out there who have spent decades learning to mimic good faith curious people.

Have you also not seen enough to learn why the “just asking questions” justification isn’t super effective around here?

It’s used as thinly veiled cover for spreading malicious bullshit while pretending the speaker isn’t lying to their audience. I’m not accusing you of this, in fact I’m explaining it hoping that you’re genuine.

You’ll have to spend some of those savings on industrial dehydrators though. It can be very difficult to get the texture of the powder right when you start grinding all willy nilly.

To me this just looks like a typical day that started with the best of intentions.

Feels like a strange move, from an American who is used to seeing the EU do things that should put our government to shame.

Are they trying to get the US to join the EU? Lol

Oh nice. Does your system FINALLY provide enough addreses for every Planck volume in the observable universe? It’s been frickin amateur hour, this internet thing.

Agreed. It’s a manifestation of society’s collective acceptance that money > humans and all businesses should be expected to operate that way full speed ahead.

And unfortunately, it’s not just the businesses’ fault. Do we really think fast food consumers would reward the drive thru that adds a dollar to every burger so that your order is taken and cooked by real people?
