Yep. As always: Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.

Yeah especially because they tend to add new features and enable them by default. I dislike having to use windows, but powertoys is where actual UX and power user improvements happen, so it’s a must. But like if “auto dark mode” was turned on globally there would be people shooting their computers for being dark on their property

Wonder if you specify to use en dashes instead if it just collapses and the simulation resets

Trump goes BALLISTIC and ERUPTS as he is SLAMMED from behind by dems

It sucks knowing we’re probably past the age of non-sensationalist headlines

The GG could only go about five, if you were lucky, on six AA

Which, while of course requiring exponentially more power, the Switch 2 only goes for about 6 hours on less demanding games, funny how battery life hasn’t really changed much for advanced handhelds.

I’m confused, it’s the same article, and it’s not new. What am I missing?

It was filed two years ago and the article hasn’t been updated, what is noteworthy?

What do you mean I see constantly in the news that he’s getting SLAMMED and dems are going BALLISTIC

And stay away from tea too. And silenced handguns aimed at the back of the head. Just so many accidental ways people are dying nowadays

What do you mean I heard someone was SLAMMED for this

Effected

Props to using the actual verbiage of those who voted for this while wondering where their SNAP benefits went

Yeah Walmart would rather just have

Don’t even need the government involved, which is ideal for them

Yeah I’m always saddened to see anecdotal “it works for me” or “it doesn’t work for me” comments about something like this, where it’s super complex and until we know the rules are in place and enforced, we should assume it is not working for those who need it.

Yeah this is another rugpull meant to allow the rich to get richer on the money of idiots

Certainly true to an extent, but I’d argue the biggest supporters of dark enlightenment only see technocracy as a stepping stone and are trying everything to get to the end goal. They don’t want people to be voted into power based on their tech background, they want power exclusively and without challenge.

Musk in the White House, big balls in our tax systems, etc, was all supposed to hop the accelerationism train towards technocracy until it was clear that years and years of paper and software systems spread across thousands of employees are wildly complex and you can’t just throw an alt-right Ivy League grad with unlimited copilot credits to solve the problem.

The US is the most obvious example though, as you mentioned, multiple countries are trying that slow creep into technocracy, but I still see that as blowing money into governments for the super rich in the tech sector getting the power they are craving.

Funny enough in a true technocracy you’d never have musk, bezos, cook, etc in power. They aren’t nearly as smart as the people they employ. But those people who would be in power generally don’t give a fuck about others. They’re the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun of today’s age. They’d pursue their goals regardless of outcome, because technological advancement is all that matters to them

I mean, the point now is just the end of your comment

pay a corporation

The super rich are trying to collapse governments and turn society into religio-corpo-city-states where they can be neofeudalist kings where their family line maintains through history no matter how technology changes. No different than kingdoms of the past where it’s mostly suffering combined with war, except they’ve convinced crypto bros and other idiots that they’d be knights in this system and are spending boatloads of money to achieve their goals.

Unfortunately what’s been shown in the past is the less resources the IRS has, the more likely they are to just go after the smallest issues, they can automate and garnish wages on people who don’t have the resources to fight it. Then they just avoid the rich because they don’t have the resources to go up against well paid tax attorneys

yeah a fresh windows 11 install has like 20 different control panels, all built at different times by different teams using different UI toolkits. It’s basically their philosophy to not unify anything but instead just keep bolting new things to different pieces of the OS, no matter how similar

yeah many linux systems will run fsck on mount as well if that same thing is detected, it’s not a windows specific thing

Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

Every closet you open is a gay republican that was previously spewing hate. The whole haunted house would just basically be projection
