  • Microsoft never learns, IT admins rage as a new OneDrive app invades Windows 11 and keeps coming back when you remove it

  • My problem with this particular argument is that M$ attained this dominance not because of the quality of its products, or because its C-suites are geniuses, but by decades of lobbying and monopolistic market practice.

  • Downvote and insult me as long and as much as you like, but I refuse to call anyone who works with Window$ an 'IT admin'.

  • It's != its.

    Again: stock is property. Arguing that the only reason to invest in stocks is getting money out of it by selling later at a higher price would be like saying that people buy apartments/land/metals solely for future financial gain.

    ...and even if one doesn't buy that argument, there's the concept of hedging, which is far enough from the concept of speculation to consider it its opposite.

  • Not quite. A (common) stock is nothing more than a certificate of ownership of part of a company. In theory, the value of that capital should increase over time, plus you hopefully get dividends regularly. Again - it's ownership, so that means that you could, in principle, hold that instrument 'forever' (just like you would, say, a piece of land), never planning to sell it back, and therefore not giving a single f*ck about its current or future price.

  • TIL that the world’s most valuable banknotes meant for public circulation are the $10,000 Singapore and Brunei Dollar bills

  • According to the same article, they are not being produced anymore. They still are legal tender in both countries though. As of 2026, I would say that the most valuable banknote still in active production is the CHF 1.000 banknote; someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • I was in a confidence-quenching toxic relationship for 9 years, and I still deem it suspicious whenever things in my life have been going well for more than 3 days in a row, and I feel literal anxiety whenever I'm having a good time with friends and family, as if I don't deserve it.

  • People accepting their bodies as they are must be the worst thing for capitalists. Imagine not buying any 'beauty', 'diet' or 'health' products or wasting any money on solar beds or plastic surgery anymore because you accept yourself and are happy even with your body's 'defects'.

  • Capitalism is the art of making compliant sheeps out of middle-classniks who are afraid to lose their jobs. More specifically, they are not afraid of speaking out, or refusing orders, because that would threaten their livelihood, but because the could not afford their current lifestyle anymore.
