Dumb. If anything, I’d have gotten rid of Notepad and kept Wordpad since it has basic formatting functions, which Notepad doesn’t. Notepad is also redundant with how the sticky note app is a thing. This is an obvious attempt to sell people on Office 365 by cutting off those clinging to Wordpad rather than paying for…

It looks like LibreOffice is going to get a boost, simply for the word processing need without paying for Microsoft Office?

The constitutional argument for it is pretty weak. Interstate travel is a fundamental right, and prosecuting the purely in-state portion of it is absolutely a burden on that right. Alabama could not prosecute citizens going to Nevada to gamble or visit a brothel, and it can’t prosecute people getting an abortion…

The more well-known one was the Toba catastrophe, 74000 BCE.

The Toba catastrophe comes to mind, but that was around 70,000 years ago, I believe?

Corey Doctorow likes to use the term “enshitification” for companies who decide that every single dollar’s worth of profit that runs through the business must flow to them.

Sensationalist headline. The teacher signed a morality contract with the school, she breached it, and the school terminated the contract as per the contract. The lesson here is don’t do business with or work for private religious organizations.

“You guys didn’t heave enough buckets of bullshit at the wall to stick and make it easier for us to rule the common rabble. Why aren’t you simply saying ‘I know God personally and he told me you are going to hell for having free thought?’” is probably what Hannity is trying to convey. He knows exactly what the people…

“legally business are people” ... that is step 1 in putting an end to this ridiculous charade. Citizen’s United ranks right up there with Dred Scott among the all-time worst decisions ever handed down from the Supremes.

It makes sense, I guess. Disney haven’t cared about originality for decades now.

stablecoins are intended to function as a less volatile, safer form of crypto since they are pegged to a tangible asset

As much as I’d love to see these Xenu freaks nailed to the wall by Remini, I’d much rather them lose their tax exempt status. 

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

Well of course. Libraries are full of books. And books are full of information and ideas. Some of which can be quite subversive to the fundamentalist Christian flag humpers who are afraid that kids might grow up learning about things like slavery and Jim Crow and internment camps. They might learn that gay people are…

On the gripping hand, the aphorism that pizza is like sex and it is good even when it is bad is bullshit. There is a lot of gummy, burnt, undercooked, poorly made pizza with really cheap ingredients that really sucks and should make people regret spending money on it.

...with another 85 percent saying they’d tell their friends and family about the service.

I’d be willing to pay a small subscription for something like the OEM nav getting regular updates, so that I don’t have to use carplay which doesn’t work with the gauge cluster displays etc.

I’d be willing to pay a subscription to get access to new performance settings and tunes as they come out. Revised stability…

As a parent, and long before, I realized that when their complaint boils down to “Won’t somebody think of the children?!?!?!”, what they’re really saying is “I’m a terrible parent and can’t be assed to actually put in any effort to be even a moderately ok one”.

What if somebody took their drag racer there to get washed before going to a car show ? Tommy’s would be aiding and abetting a drag show

You seem at least somewhat confused by the usage of the acronym. Lemme help you out.
HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
HIPPA - HIPAA, but spelled incorrectly

You largely see the latter in weird twitter arguments from creepy anti-vax idiots, which makes it a generally undesirable spelling to use,…
