Is it really apps that are getting out of control? I still get by just fine not using them.

Prices, on the other hand… I’ll just say sitting down at a proper restaurant is often a viable alternative.

Where is the media scrutiny into this man and all his transgressions across his entire life?

Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.

And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.

Wade had not driven since the incident.

Win 10 LTSC IoT edition already has security updates until 2032, and if you activate Win 10 with MAS you’ll almost certainly be activated with this version automagically.

Signing in with a Microsoft account is what they really want you to do. This is why they never fixed the glaring vulnerability that allows you to hack the password from local accounts. It’s also a general symptom of the fact that Microsoft doesn’t really care if you pirate their software anymore, they care about you disabling telemetry because they make more money harvesting personal data than they do charging for software - even subscription software like Office365.

Turning it on only when you’re using it doesn’t stop it harvesting all your Bluetooth interaction data (like covid contact tracing). That’s what Android Auto does with Ford cars - the car isn’t just tracking you when you drive it and reporting back to Ford, it’s tracking where you go with your phone based on all the Bluetooth devices you ping.

Apparently a lot of the translations for women “washing feet” was actually originally “washing genitals” - probably the equivalent of a “massage” in the modern day.

Also, Jesus washed a lot of people’s feet.

Bangin. Just what I needed tonight, thanks.

Hey if it works in nature.

The winglets on the end of airplane wings were added after watching hawk wing feathers with slow motion cameras.

The joke is that this is the best representation of a Fourier transform you’re ever likely to see.

The clever part is drawing the parallel between two unrelated things, to draw on the recipient’s emotions about one of them and entice them to compare why they feel differently about the other.

Somewhat manipulative, perhaps, but only in the way that explaining things manipulates someone into understanding.

There were people around the globe who knew about the nsa before Edward Snowden and told the truth.

There was a whole fucking Will Smith movie about it in the late 90s. With Gene Hackman, and young Jack Black and Seth Green. Enemy of the State.

But yeah that wasn’t proof, either. But it was the closest to people shouting on the rooftops that this kind of thing was, in fact, happening.

I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase “Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

I’m happy to do that, but without any update notification a new update will likely go unnoticed for some time.

One of the big issues with 7-Zip is that it only really updates manually. There is literally no update functionality baked in, at least in the version I’ve been running.
