The diversification that world markets are going through right now is wonderful tbh. Even at such a small level, we’re getting so much great stuff at the grocery store to replace all the American brands my country has all but rejected now. Love seeing it at the enterprise level too, we might see a lot of other countries start having growing tech industries in their regions now.

I have so many questions about this too… Commenting to come back later for the answer.

Man, what sort of sweatshop industry is this so I can avoid it?

Just cancelled my 365 the other day too. Been on Linux for half a year now and forgot I had it until the news of the copilot price increase came out and reminded me. I was happy I could cancel and be refunded the remainder of the term and get some money back in my pocket!

Maybe a slider so we can adjust how much “masculine energy” shows up in our feeds?

This is the better path forward… That everyone just gets so sick of it that they drop it - I’ve actually seen a lot of that among my own friends over the last week (and we aren’t from America even). But the right wingers will never drop it because it’s their community and echo chamber, and that’s where the further dangers to democracy come into play when they’re all in the sandbox together without parents…

I had just signed up a few nights ago to try it out before subscribing, it’s an easy cancel at this point and is being done momentarily.

I long for rock solid VR support in Linux like the rest of my gaming in Steam. I dual boot windows for the sole purpose of VR experience right now :(

Exactly this. Wasn’t Netflix going to sink after everyone cancelled when password sharing was banned? But everyone I know just ended up buying extra logins…

We have a 15 year old Yaris that I’m pretty sure my 1 year old will learn to drive on in another 15 years 😂 I remember the feeling selling my first car too, it was a weird attachment after being the first “big purchase” I had ever made in my life. That car will have a lot of years left in it if you keep it maintained (although I’m not sure how the TUV you mention in your country works - I don’t think my country has anything comparable). The feeling of having no car payments is bliss - when our cars get paid off we just keep transferring the same payment amount into a savings account to help pay for a new car when the time comes.

Francisco Partners ran my previous employer into the ground with a lot of shady shit too. Not surprised to hear their name involved with this.

And also highly unlikely in the way described lol

Pay by the weight to flush

I feel like the only people left on X are the people who don’t think their hate speech is hate speech…

I’ve been wondering this too. Will there be a way for company policy admins to somehow remove this fully? I work in an industry that deals with very sensitive and private information - no way in hell this would ever even remotely be allowed or pass any audits. Even just existing but being disabled could be problematic.

But big companies aside, how will this impact small companies who have no real in house IT? The potential for it to be capturing and storing stuff like, as you say anything required by PCI compliance, could turn into a nightmare. We also know this will inevitably be hacked or used by spyware somehow, someday, too no matter how secure they say it may be. So now a bad actor can recall an entire day work and data capture from a worker?

Most walk behind style mowers don’t have oil filters.

When we get closer to the end I just assume we get subscriptions of subscriptions.

I probably don’t live in your country 😉

I got an ad once for a group selling stolen credit card numbers too. I must have reported it at least a dozen times but it was always kept up and the report said it didn’t break any rules. It only got removed after I just skipped Facebook reports and reported to the police.

And even for vintage cars and stuff, I assume we’ll see better eco friendly and bio fuels being created that could be made in smaller batches without needing to use conventional oil as the fuel. Starting to see more and more of this on aviation already, and even some old warbirds have done recent tests on these fuels and run really well.
