I actually did use WordPad occasionally, but it wasn’t a huge loss for me, since LibreOffice does this. LO is just too overpowered for a quick RTF edit, so I used WordPad. Besides work, I only windows for a specific usecase, not as a daily, but it was still annoying.

Lol genius!

They don’t need notepad for that. They control your entire OS, and all inputs. All they need to do, is capture all inputs (which they already do and package it all nicely as Recall). They’re using notepad as just a user-facing justification for the spying they do throughout the rest of the OS.

Counterpoint:

In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “perfect text-only editor” to “ai-laden spyware/malware”

Mainframe for the home user, with all files on their servers and, thus, controlled by them. That’s always been their goal, but the tech just didn’t exist until recently.

Yes, I’m aware they’re real humans, but blasting someone, who specifically requests not to be blasted, with 10 texts a day, is emotional and mental abuse, and the human doing this is not a person a would ever respect (while I wish them no harm). I see these organizations only a couple notches above those asshole scammers. And it’s because they’re real humans that the berating actually works.

Also, I should clarify what I mean as ‘berating’ in this context: a simple “fuck off” or “who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you texting me?!”. I do not mean that you should go calling them slurs or the like. Don’t insult the person, only be extremely hostile in your response.

Berate them with “foul language”. Depending on the country, they will mark your number as hostile, and it will be removed from their contact list. Since they share lists, this will propagate to other lists, as well.

So they’re shorting you 25 minutes on the promised 30 minutes of uninterrupted adverts. Wankers!

Only 5 minutes of uninterrupted adverts? They said 30 minutes. Liars.

I had that problem. I changed my ua to Edge on Windows, and the message went away. Everything worked.

Who Has the Right to Decide What Happens on Indigenous Lands?

…the indigenous people… I don’t this that’s so outlandish to logical, non-capitalism blinded people, but, judging from the article, that’s not common.

We feel neurotypicalish with stims. But neuros feel wired, almost high, with them. We got the short stick in may ways, and the long stick in other, harder to find ways…

Imagine trying to party, and feeling perfectly normal, calm, and even tired, while everyone else is tripping balls.

What was your tell? Lol

Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…

If I can’t change it once it gets breached (because it will get breached), then it’s not security, it’s a hurdle at best. Biometrics entry isn’t security; it’s convenience.

No. COVID didn’t lead to this. Their insane greed lead to this. We were more than happy to pay a fair price to own a product, but no… they wanted more, and more, and more, and, eventually, we had enough. The fact that it happened during a pandemic is irrelevant, because it didn’t lead to this. Their greed lead to this.

Fair. Men get pockets, but shite shoes. Women get comfort, but no pockets.

And they’re so much more comfortable, it’s ridiculous. It’s like the shoe industry decided, several decades ago, that men don’t want comfortable shoes.

I’ve always had it…
