It’s moreso that it’s under Microsoft’s thumb. See all the tech companies are unreliable and out for you data but Microsoft also consistently fumbles on everything. They made Windows and Office then just stopped doing anything new and kept making their old products worse.

Xbox is practically dead, they bought Minecraft and you can feel the vultures circling overhead, even the AI bubble they’re just funding OpenAI and making slight adjustments for their own versions.

I’m planning on jumping ship to Linux when I make a new PC. Only thing Microsoft I even consider using nowadays is VScode.

My main criteria for a browser is not being Chrome or Chromium based.

This leaves my only options being Firefox and it’s forks.

Or Microsoft Edge which stifles laughter I’m not gonna do.

Currently on Firefox but might give Librewolf a try.

Edit: I’ve been told Edge is also Chromium based now, the Firefox ecosystem really is the last holdout huh?

Here’s my answer that works with any kind of lightbulb.

Flip switch 1 on, switch 2 off, and get switch 3 stuck in a halfway point which I’ve done on both lever switches and flat switches.

If it’s on it’s switch 1, if it’s off it’s switch 2, if it’s flickering or dimmed it’s switch 3 and you should probably turn it off to stop damaging the relay.

Interesting!

I thought credit card numbers were just for credit cards, what are the “things that aren’t credit cards”? Genuine question I’m just curious.

I do the default monthly donation, Wikipedia is a world wonder that has many frothing at the opportunity to burn it.

I’m 25 and I played Roblox as a kid. Back then it was just digital legos, now there’s mass produced bootleg copies of games accurate enough to be a financial threat and enough integrated microtransactions to make a mobile game blush.

PETA is weird because they’re not so much “pro animal rights” or “pro eco friendly” as they are “anti domesticated animals” including pets.

As a result a lot of their messaging is desperate propaganda, like spreading the pseudoscience that milk causes autism, or trying to imply that shearing sheep for wool hurts them somehow.

They’ve also done some pretty evil things because they believe animals are better off dead than domesticated.

Getting taken to an eccentric rich person’s island and being relieved it’s just a hunt to the death.

Thing is Valve is a private company with a flat structure and shared ownership that encourages moving between departments.

Basically, it’s just a club of people doing whatever they want and they happen to all love videogames.

For women, bluntness and honesty is treated as assault.

For men, retaliation is unremarkable and unnoticed until it’s too late.

I love how through extraordinary luck and circumstance a group of apes gained a divine awareness that let’s us have unprecedented power and control over the natural world and we use it to produce images like this.

In other words, nature gave monkeys guns and it’s been a fun circus since then.

X is up, there now no one is happy.

They are female to male so top surgery is breast removal, technically cosmetic but vital for mental health. Whether they were able to get a mobility surgery and chose not to I don’t know.

So theres a hair strand on the right side of her head, but it looks like

A: The back of her head is bald

or

B: The guy’s about to eat her head

I think his cabinet knows this fact about him and tries to control who he meets with so they can keep this power for themselves.

New favorite 9/11 conspiracy, the twin towers never existed.

“pfft, you still believe there was a ‘World Trade Center’, yeah right”

The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they’re in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.

My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.

Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you’re not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can’t care for employees at risk of dissolving.

Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.

Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.

Easy solution for those in Make a Wish that want to go to mars
