You're on the nose, but that's still kind of immaterial to the point that they can't count on the US here. By hook or by crook they gotta find a solution without the US.

...the US has already betrayed Ukraine???

What planet are these guys fucking living on? It feels like every time I turn around in the last year that Trump has been suggesting ending the war by having Ukraine just... give up and give up lots of important territory.

The ship of the US betraying Ukraine has sailed, guys. The US is busy somehow committing war crimes without the existence of an actual war. Maybe you really ought to be placing your trust elsewhere by now.

Pre-ordered The Protomen - ACT III: This City Made Us.

They had a live listening party for it earlier today, needless to say the whole album was sick as hell. Classic NES inspired prog-wank.

I also sent a buddy a few bucks for a pack of demos he released a while back.

Welcome to the human race.

Jesus fucking Christ... Is Microsoft literally vibe-coding everything now? Do these updates not go through any rigorous testing at all before being released into the wild?

The only solution is to re-image?? This is just flat out fucking awful.

Sorry to all those people who went for the LTSC versions of Windows. How the living fuck does this kind of stuff happen.

Arbitrary code execution is tricky to pull off without an existing exploit (or a zero day exploit).

It's smart that you didn't open the file, but I suspect it's probably nothing because it would have required you opening the file for any virus contained within to execute.

Still, worth just running your standard Windows Defender virus scan on it and on your computer in general, if nothing else.

1. Okay.
2. Makes sense.
3. 😏

Can we please go back to the emo/hipster/scene era look for women? I know people hated it but I didn't.

Great, Netflix is going to ruin the legacy of HBO actually producing quality television.

Nathan Fielder, get a new contract.

Clementine, no!

What, and let me emphasize this, the fuck?

Something something a liberal something a fascist bleeds

The former US secretary of state described it as “serious problem for democracy”, remarking that when she attempted to have “reasonable discussions” with young people, it was challenging because “they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda".

Look, lady, at some point the prior history doesn't matter. The history we're experiencing right the fuck now is a single day, a single attack, by Hamas responded to by two fucking solid years of calculated extermination and nullification of the Palestinian people.

It doesn't fucking matter what happened thirty god damned years ago when the average age in Gaza before Oct 7th 2023 was fucking sixteen! Guess what Hillary you fucking idiot, 16 year olds haven't been alive long enough to have had anything to fucking do with that history!

The fucking audacity of her ass to be talking about the "history!"

Of all people, this bitch deserved to lose to Trump. She even used her connections to promote him in the media because she was fucksure she would end up in the general election against Jeb Bush. That's what you get for fucking over Bernie Sanders!

For sure but if the goal is to have it not financially benefit the creepshit author, digital isn't a bad way to go. I don't necessarily want Gaiman's boobs in my hands.

I meant digital volumes. I agree, support your library, do not steal from it.

There's also always piracy arrrrr.

But yes support your local library.

If that happens, prior Crucial consumers (like myself) should boycott because they already showed what they actually care about and it isn't their loyal customer base. They don't want us to buy their products? We should happily give them what they want now should they change their mind later.

Anyway yeah, if they come back, they're officially on my shit list.

You gotta be fucking kidding me, I swore by Crucial RAM and SSDs. Eat shit, Micron.

There's lots of things that rhyme with orange but they're usually two-word combinations rather than single words and are often half-rhymes more than full rhymes.

Eminem's examples always stuck with me.

This is what most companies seem to be aiming for these days as well, along with business-to-business sales as opposed to business-to-consumer sales.

For a long time now, many companies have stopped trying to increase profits by increasing the customer base, but rather are shrinking the customer base with intent to make up the difference and then some with increased costs.

I did some back of the napkin math on the price increases for Xbox Game Pass the last time around, and the numbers were basically that they could lose about a third of their customers for Game Pass and still break even, so as long as they lost less than a third of their customer base, they were still creating more profit than before. They would need to be pushing losing fully half of all subscribers for it to make a negative dent on their profits.

This is late stage capitalism. This is rent extraction where they are indeed happier to make $0 because their customer base was already so vast that they can afford to have a significant portion of those customers bail and they will still make money.
