ghost?

nm I looked it up myself.

Why aren’t more people on ghost? It’s a stupid name for what it does, but the $9 a month and keeping the rest is a great deal if you have more than a handful of subscribers.

IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can’t thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?

i use google to search reddit and youtube. reddit’s search still sucks and youtube brings up the same results as google generally and it’s in my address bar aleady.

It’s sad to see that everyday users have gotten habituated to these constant workflow braking updates.

I’ve never understood this problem, people talk like it has a mind of it’s own and i just don’t get it.

I’m running windows 11 pro and have never had updates interrupt my shit.

Updates show up in my system tray, then it updates overnight when i sleep.

for what it’s worth, it’s a small active community. Those that stay participate, like a pre-Eternal September internet. I’ve seen memes here before they made it to reddit, that’s a shift in “power” that can’t be understated in the landscape of the internets.

I guess i’m getting that from when you first said,

but in a truly free market capitalist system

I just assumed you were defending a “truly free market” capitalism.

to address what you just posted,

is it appropriate to blame capitalism when a public corporation in collusion with the government is at fault for an issue? If not, why?

yes, capitalism creates the conditions for that collusion. It allows entities with the only goal of profit at any cost.

removing the government doesn’t reduce that corruption it just allows it to go unchecked without even an illusion of protection to the public.

Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?

Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.

I feel as though you’re also assuming I’m 100% advocating for what I’m describing

i think you’re missing it. Government for as glacial and corrupt and corruptible as it is, is the only buffer from the excess of a free market.

businesses without a guardrail HAVE proven they will sacrifice everything, literally everything in the name of profit.

Oil companies have know for about a century that they are destroying the planet and they are *still * doing it. They fight every regulation that stops them tooth and nail. They buy and shelve technologies that would cut into their profit. Imagine a world where there was no one trying to stop them at all?

That is the proper diagnosis of our system. We have allowed unaccountable immoral groups to control the means of production and they are literally using it to with kill us all.

I'm not trying to defend windows, it has a myriad of issues, but I've never understood the meme of it updating at inconvenient times. I run windows 11 pro, I set it to only update when i tell it to and it does… Like it's never been a problem, wasn't a problem in windows 10 or 7 pro either.

I don't get it, am i windows whisperer and not know it?

It shows it's work, you can follow it's citations to ensure it's not complete bullshit.

Also no seriously these are dumb questions, I was watching Fraiser the other day and it implied his ratings were in the millions, and I asked bing if that was even possible considering he was on AM radio in the 90s (it's not), but even if it was completely wrong it literally doesn't matter…

Bing chat has saved edge and bing search for me, it just works. I ask it a random question, like how many spiders you'd have to eat to have eaten a pound of them and it just tells me and shows the work. I don't need to look up how much a spider weights and then do math myself, it just does it.

Firefox is still my main browser, but I'll open edge to ask dumb questions and I have a lot of stupid questions and it has answers without me needing to dig through bullshit to find what I need.

If you don’t care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.

Yeah, it’s racist to hire another more qualified candidate that can speak multiple languages in a setting that would benefit from that skill…

casual ableism

Gen Z’s biggest problem (which spawns all the other problems) is being constantly online

huge citation needed…

couldn’t possibly the rigged economy, two tiered justice system, racism baked into every system, religious fundamentalism, imminent environmental collapse, no it’s the phones…

So leveraged buyouts which take productive companies saddle them with debt and then strip them of their assets are just a doomer fever dream?

Shitty business model

Fortnite goes brrrrr

They’ll keep doing whatever they can to get market share as long as it remains a money printer…

They’re still giving away free games, though the name recognition of them has fallen.

I’d heard of that before so after a quick google America passed the Metric Conversion Act in 1975 then in 1982 the Metric Board was abolished by President Ronald Reagan…

So like the harbinger of doom for American progress he was Regan killed it…

Rdr2s online is not getting regular updates, it is basically abandoned.
