Yep. And it was all the rural dipshits that voted for exactly this: bootstrap capitalism. If you can’t afford to pay through the nose for medical care, then in this America, you don’t deserve to get medical care.

They voted for this. They are in full agreement with it. When the hospitals close, they should be happy and if they aren’t - they can go fuck themselves.

Yeah and of course, you can also just ram the thing into the ground. I’d hate to think this was a deliberate act, but it’s certainly possible.

Welcome to America where you can’t have an opinion without MAGA threatening to kill your family.

Christ I have to stop browsing Lemmy in the middle of the night.

So I know there has to be a reason why these switches are vitally important but doesn’t it seem weird that you can take a catastrophic action like turning the fuel supply off when you’re in mid-takeoff? If you try and put a modern car in reverse at 65 MPH, the car is like “haha no” and ignores you.

It’s not the water-handing-out in and of itself. Also, yeah these people often suck and enforcement often makes them look like the tools they are, but make no mistake about it, there are people that like it that their neighborhoods are policed by Karens who keep it looking like a sterile movie set. The moral of the story is, stay the fuck away from HOAs.

Here are two common clauses that are probably being applied here:

Residential Use All Lots within the Properties shall be used, improved, and devoted exclusively to single-family residential use. No trade, business, commercial activity, or profession of any kind, whether for profit or not, shall be conducted, maintained, or permitted on any part of any Lot without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. This prohibition shall include, but not be limited to, any activity that generates regular visitor or client traffic to the Lot.

Prohibition of Signs No sign, billboard, poster, or advertising device of any character shall be erected, placed, permitted, or maintained on any Lot or on the exterior of any Dwelling, except for one (1) “For Sale” or “For Rent” sign of a type, size, and location approved by the Architectural Control Committee, and small signs identifying the occupant’s name or address as permitted by the Committee. All other signs are expressly prohibited without prior written approval from the Board.

Microsoft gave me a free copy so I checked it out. It sucks.

This is so great, I didn’t know this existed! Man, Josh just was Tom Servo, he invented the role but more than that he really inhabited it. But then Kevin came in and absolutely redefined what Tom Servo meant. Probably one of the greatest examples of a homage embracing and extending. I’m so glad that they got together and did this. Now, they are truly both Tom Servo to me.

Sadly, Trace’s Crow was just too (wonderfully) specific to be properly followed. I love Bill, I think he’s a great guy, I think he’s funny and I think he did the character justice. But there really is only one true Crow. That midwestern angst is just so unbelievably specific.

I wrote this one to strip the custom css from any sub on (old) reddit. I use it on subs I find annoying, like mildlyinfuriating.

javascript:(function(){x=0;s=document.styleSheets;for(const y of s){if(y.title==="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"){if(y.disabled!=true){y.disabled=true;}else{y.disabled=false;}}x++;}})();

“There’s nothing good to be proud about being a f****t. You ought to blow yourself in the head, in the back of the head. You’re so disgusting,” Stephen Falco said from the pulpit.

10-1 odds on Stephen’s (repressed) sexuality? Anyone? Anyone?

Yeah when it was announced I remember thinking “damn, that would totally be worth it despite the fact that it looks a bit weird,” - because at that price it was actually cheaper than the available sedans. But of course, that was six years ago, before Musk made a complete Nazi of himself and of course, before it became a $100k boondoggle.

For me it’s because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here’s the thing: I don’t like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I’ve preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I’ve only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.

Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.

Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I’m out.

This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I’m there I eventually get struck with a “this isn’t real people” feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.

Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

*looks around* I’m still waiting to see even the tiniest crack in the fuselage.

I grew up in the //e era. That shit was a blast. I learned a lot about Assembly and I learned Basic back then too. Copying disks, defeating copy protection was a rite of passage. I was actually bummed when Steve left and things got so bad.

So when Steve came back and things picked back up with the iPod, I was kinda jazzed for it. But I never bought in to the hype. iPods started the whole ridiculous pricing model. First thing I actually bought was a 3GS because there really was nothing else like it.

I got into Mac laptops because my work gave me one and I was a Linux nerd by that time so the fact that it’s Unix under the hood has always been super appealing to me, still is. But the pricing still keeps me several years behind, I do not buy Apple new, always used. Gotta give them props for hardware longevity though. My daily driver is a 14/yo Air.

Never have felt the magic like back in the day though. Now it just feels like the lesser of several evils.

I don’t understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he’s railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?

Because as near as I can tell, what he’s saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don’t go nearly far enough.

Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.

I hope that’s a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.

No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?

Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.

I didn’t realize this either.

Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won’t allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can’t be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.

Apple will throw everything they’ve got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.
