European here, stopped seeing them at the end of 90s, before they were so common, even in city

I saw someone on YouTube pissed that they bought 700 ebooks from Amazon and now that they enforce a harder DRM he can't read them anymore.

Bruh, you voted with your wallet to get DRM in your ebooks. You can't complain if one day they change the encryption

there's no make and model, just "1200VA UPS Made in China" and a what i suppose to be a fake CE logo

elon musk should make autonomous weapons. Don't need to test, move fast and break things, will work fine:

eh, can see how those are working great for the powerful people (examples: putin, bibi, the libya guy)

Screenshot is from Windows where dotfiles aren't hidden by default. And all the lazy developers that created those directories, didn't bother to set the hidden attribute (See appdata is greyed, because it has the hidden attribute set)

The moderator username is implying that it's a subreddit that is for marketing cringe stickers to suckers

Why a real person would star a project? When I star a project then my GitHub home is littered with activity from that project. I hate that, so I never star anything

My body is my body and a legislator has no right to say if I can't remove an unwanted object from it

Absolutely misunderstood, it's just to point that with the current policies, even 25 years olds in a relationship will feel pregnancy as a huge economic problem and choose abortion over bankruptcy

And for victims of rape, underage, when there's a congenital problem that has been discovered in the early exams, the abortion should be even encouraged by the doctors

No, it's to point out that this "anti abortion" policy is all about punishing those whores that had sex outside wedding, as if it's something you do alone and not with a man.

If they really care about minimizing the abortion rate, they should enact policies that help the woman after birth, and not give decades of financial struggles as "punishment for having fun that night"

Personally, I am pro-"let the people do what the fuck they want with their bodies"

In my country:

• the payment for all the exams done during the pregnancy cost €0
• The delivery itself costs €0
• if the woman was working, will continue to get full salary until the baby is 5 months old (can opt for longer but then the salary is reduced)
• The government will pay to the parent a monthly check of some hundreds euro (according to the income)
• Preschool is free (although need to pay canteen fees)

I'm guessing the poster is from that country where if you aren't insured you're going to pay 20k for the delivery and then you're going to financially struggle until the end, right?

In that country people is choosing abortion not because having a baby is unaffordable, but only because they're evil monsters

Also the beauty of H1B visa people is that because they have to leave the country (or find another job) in 30 days in the even that they get fired, it means they are perfect for assholes like that billionaire. "Agree to do this or go back to that shit hole"

The manager who approved this need to be fired. Programs need to ask permission to the user before installing, especially when they're not device drivers.

This is literal malware and there's also a chance that it might be exploited (example: a mitm Attack exchanges the file that armory crate is downloading)

This kind of Easter egg is not funny at all, developers must avoid undocumented time bombs. I still remember that day 15 years ago when I turned on my Wii and it said that the system files were corrupted. After hours of reverting a full nand backup via bootmii (and losing 2 years of game saves) it turned out that it was a funny April's fool by crediar, which put a fake system corruption message when you run his program on April 1st. Problem is that his program was a loader for the system menu so it was unavoidable if you didn't know that.

Like me, there must be someone paranoid that saw that black bar on the screen, saw a weird Christmas.exe running on their system, and starting wiping or restoring old images to "clean" that.

Aren't Nissan and Mitsubishi almost part of Renault?

The Mitsubishi Colt is now a rebadged Renault Clio and the Mitsubishi ASX is a Renault Captur

It's still compressesed on mastodon , I tried to post a 3072 x 4080 2mb jpeg and when downloaded from the post it's now a 2499x3319 500k jpeg

Most keyboard shortcuts are illogical (=differ too much from Linux/Windows) and too often require 3+ keys

Of course if you're used to "Ctrl+shift+command+3" to do a screenshot instead of just pressing the dedicated button on the keyboard and feel it natural, this doesn't apply to you

It's owned by PayPal, couldn't expect otherwise

When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)

Well for me it's the opposite. I set once my settings with the domain group policy a decade ago and in every single windows PC that I own I have the perfect settings from the out of the box experience as soon as the first login

And no need to set 30 key remaps with karabiner
