  • You're not interested in debating because you're scared of being shown how wrong you are. Don't say anything if you don't wish to debate anyone, it's an open forum, in case you forgot. You don't dictate the rules.

  • All 50 States Have Now Pushed ‘Right To Repair’ Laws, But Actual Enforcement Is Spotty At Best

  • It is that way because it has been that way. That is reality and you continue to deny it, I've no time for you.

  • Even Fox News is worried about the stock market under Trump

  • Hell has frozen over for once that FOX actually blames an active Republican politician. That's when you know - you've truly fucked up.

    Red states won't.

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • The United States will no longer be a member of NATO or the United Nations or both. The US is being labeled as an adversary by Germany, so in 10 years, the United States may very well lose half of it's allies because of these 4 years we're enduring.

    Russia could still lose it's war with Ukraine and may have lost because of the combined efforts of the EU since the US 10 years ago (accounting the time scale) has abandoned Ukraine. Russia and the United States could very well be allies by this point which would make the world arm themselves since we're seeing countries retaliate in trade wars.

    Inflation in 10 years will be the new norm because no politician, Democrat or Republican, can't ever get their marbles of a grasp on holding corporations accountable.

    Speaking of Corporations, in 10 years, they would've sucked dry and owned well over every important asset, service and many acquisitions along the way. We would have to make the term 'Megacorp' to identify these corporations by.

  • Google Chrome is killing more extensions than you think - is your old favorite on the list?

    Jump

  • This is the list, for those who don't want to read it. I don't see Adguard Adblocker on there, surprisingly or SponsorBlock. Besides UBlock Origin, which is a staple extension of mine for all browsers and we've long knew about Google's approach to that. I haven't seen a lot of what I use/used on here. I don't even know most of these.

  • Buyer's remorse is such a strong taboo that it leads people to defend things in their lives which harm them. Can anything be done to start countering this?

    Jump

  • There's almost nothing that can be done in a case of a voter who makes bad decisions. They'd have to learn to live with the consequences caused by their poor decision making. You can show them, you can educate them and you can rationalize with them all day. But, they just have to face the music. Which is what I believe anyone who voted for Trump is going to have to go through. They think voting for him will make their lives better when he's most likely going to make them struggle day after day if not put them out of whatever comfort zone that they once had.

    They don't seem to register in their minds that voting for a bad leader is going to affect everyone involved, not just pick and choose what groups of people to affect.

    The unfortunate part is someone had mentioned that it is a patience thing and it is all about time. It could be years for them to finally see whatever light there is to see that shine on the errors of their poor decision making. Quite frankly, I do not have all of the time in the world and I don't exactly know how much time I truly do have left, so I just brand them as hopeless and move on.

  • Can people change?

    Jump

  • It depends and I judge based on what a person has done.

    Can a murderer change? Well, they've taken a life or maybe numerous lives so I place them on the irreversible pile. Those who can't change because let's say, they might've had multiple chances to change prior to murdering and they blew them all.

    Can an addict change? Possibly, if they haven't gone far deep into the addiction. There will always be some kind of change opportunity for them and they haven't done irreparable damage yet.

    You have to evaluate people by levels and where their stances are in life.

  • does buying on a shady key shop website benefit the developers over piracy?

  • They prompt more questions than answers about how they do business, I've gone over that.

  • Let me know when grocery shopping is cheaper than ordering or eating out. Then we'll talk.

    Guess I'm in for a long wait then if all you did was downvote.

  • The only gray markets I trust is CDKeys and even that is kindof shady. The thing is, we never know how exactly these people get keys to turn around and resell them. But it isn't like they're entrusted with keys like Fanatical, Humble Bundle, GreenManGaming are. These other places, like G2A, has to get them through illicit means which could be fraud and could lead to consequences if some sources take a closer look at what's going on. Which in turn, could lead to compromise of keys or worse - permaban from Steam.

    Regional pricing does also play a part, but it also still begs the question - how and where are they getting that much money to buy keys in bulk? Least enough to warrant staging a site where people can buy said keys from? It's more questions than answers, but I would still favor piracy than chancing my luck at these sites.

  • Most of them. They require not only the right ingredients and even the right brands. But the amount of tools you would have to go out and get, just to make that thing. I currently am struggling to make homemade butterbeer, from harry potter, because I spent like a combined $30+ in materials and ingredients and that's only by one recipe. Which is another thing, recipes vary and have their own way of doing things which again is going to require having to spend more just to make it.

    It's a no-brainer why people would rather have take out or go out to restaurants.

  • There are a handful of legendary singers that haven't written even their best material. Frank Sinatra (My Way), Johnny Cash (Hurt), Madonna (Material Girl) and even Elvis Presley (Hound Dog). But, being a vocalist is like having an organic guitar. You wail, scream, screech, growl in various tone and octaves. And it is matter of making the song work. Some of the songs done by those artists I've mentioned, you would be hard pressed to find anyone else to fill their shoes, because they are what made the songs.

  • Dear Democrats: It Would Be Nice If You Could Lead, And Not Off A Cliff

    Jump

  • Is it too much to ask for America to have someone who's only quality is that they're not Trump? How about credulous capability? How about a spine to tell corporations to shove it? How about an actual move to progress things that should've been apparent in the present X amount of years ago?

    Simply just not being Trump is not enough. Because what you do not care to realize, is that sets a low bar. You're saying, you're okay with someone not Trump even though they may not be any better. Don't mix my words around, idiot.

  • Dear Democrats: It Would Be Nice If You Could Lead, And Not Off A Cliff

    Jump

  • Nah, Democrats failed us again last year. Instead of focusing on what matters, they played the exact same play out of their playbook from 2016. Which was to attack Trump over and over. They didn't promise much of anything, only that "well, we're not Trump so vote for us!". We did that in 2020 with Biden and the best Biden did was nudge things but he didn't do that grand of a job. We voted for him because he wasn't Trump. When it came time for a fresher candidate to make history again, what did Harris do? She caved and went the whole "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT TRUMP!" towards the end of her campaign and that didn't do wonders.

    And the fact that the Democrats allowed for Republicans, unchallenged, to take the Senate and House? Dude, no balls on them.

  • Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India

    Jump

  • Reality check should've set in for you the first month he was in office. All of the things he's been saying that he'll do if he got elected again. He did more than a quarter of those things within the first week. We have 4 years with this asshole now and the only silver lining is the mid-terms, provided there will even be a mid-term election next year.

    He has already done 32% of the things he's promised to do and that's just all within one month. Do you think he's bluffing? When he said he was going to throw tariffs on countries he feels is at fault for the problems in america, he did so. When he said he was going to fire lots of people, he did. When he said he was going to pardon everyone possible for January 6th, he did. There's still more to come, too.

    And you think he's joking?

  • Mozilla Introduces Firefox’s First-Ever Terms of Use

    Jump

  • The primary reason I hated Thunderbird, was because it would always drop authentication whenever I tried sending e-mail from my Outlook address. Yeah I can see mail coming in for my Outlook e-mail, but I also wanted to send too and I always had to go over to Outlook and deal with the awful and confusing UI to send mail.

    I had just tested BetterBird's capability by sending an e-mail from my Outlook address to one of my GMails and no issues. So, fuck Thunderbird.

    LibreWolf and Floorp is all I have. Oh and I kicked Thunderbird to the curb too for BetterBird.
