Cardboard and paper bags went out of style because of the “save the rainforest” narrative. Even though most paper products are made from trees specifically grown to be harvested for their wood.

That’s why we started using plastic bags at grocery stores, remember?

The issue is if you tune them out what’s left? It’s most of the content here.

Hell just the other day there was a “what new tech thing have you done this year?” And 95% of the responses were just some variation of “Installed Mint/PopOS!/Endeavour and started using Firefox.”

Like it’s great that you’re making the transition, but I was hoping to hear what new self hosting service people got working on their home server, some new residential network installs for security platforms, etc.

Not just “I changed browsers.”

See my problem is that even if it’s not sexual it’ll become sexual due to the large breasts on my face.

No one wants Steam bankrupt, they just want more than one videogame vendor on PC to be viable.

“Mumbo jumbo about competition” I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or are just legitimately a braindead moron.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can have my convenience

FTFY

Also, the only truly bad competition is subsidized competition. As long as it’s not surviving on some kind of grant or funding, instead of its actual market value, then it’s always a good thing as it keeps competitors on their toes.

Fanboys and monopolies, name a better combination.

Damn, that’s crazy that you have the time to so seriously inconvenience yourself so you can feel good about this.

Let me guess, you live in a city and forget that not everyone lives in a city?

The short term benefits are the reason they’re doing this in the first place.

Immediate revenue and growth is the goal, long term business viability and consumer base is an acceptable sacrifice to meet that goal.

Who cares if the company went under five months after I left! When I was the CEO we had record profits

Hey Farva, what’s that conspiracy you love again? With the complete lack of physics knowledge and the mechanical engineering?

Drink idiots hit things in cars all the time.

Make the test to acquire your license actually difficult to the skill level required instead of the “you can take two left turns and park shitty, here’s your license” level of difficulty that most states use for road vehicles.

Doesn’t Japan have a system like that? The difference in the lowest and highest paid employee can only be so many thousands different?

RAM is the cheapest upgrade possible, unless you’re trying to run a game on 8GB in 2023 idk why you’d be that concerned with RAM usage.

The problem is that people throw around “fascism” like my 70 year old mom uses the word “communism.” She couldn’t even define the actual meaning of communism let alone her use of the word.

In the common internet usage fascism just means “anything authoritarian and to the right of where I stand.” It also has the issue of making people think that the problem is with left versus right politics when authoritarianism can and has existed everywhere in the political spectrum in history.

You can export as .docx too so it’s a snap for windows users.

While I can agree about their failures, “don’t save it’s bad for the consumer economy” can go to hell.

Yeah, even good ones do it.
