First Facebook, then Amazon, now Lifehacker is reading my mind and offering articles (at least not ads) based on discussions I have had recently... just yesterday I was mentioning to my boss that my recent work Macbook was having really bad keyboard “bounces” and double/triple letters.

while a significant portion of the asshole passengers are indeed drunk, I think the bigger problem is that people have recently been emboldened in their selfish asshole behavior and are more apt to act on their idiotic urges. Airports have been serving booze for decades, and the article mostly discusses people not…

Anyone down for Delta Plus and Chill?

The research was going to cost FB precious views and ad revenue, so it must be stopped...

the people you are talking about would read that sentence, see “super” and think it’s a good thing...

I’ll bring some popcorn...

that’s supposed to be “Freeze Peach”, they’re really big fans of cold fruit...

umm... didn’t GETTR claim that no content would be censored and no accounts would ever be banned for what they post? So I guess they just have to live with their app being co-opted to spread messages that they deem false or hurtful.

The fact that vaccinated people are getting sick is sadly fodder for the anti-vax crowd to claim the vaccine doesn’t work. They are completely ignoring the reduction in hospitalization/death that the vaccine is scientifically showing, while claiming they “follow the science” as they refuse to mask up or get vaccinated.

Thanks, you too.

yep, since they blocked spectators the tourism drop has hurt them bad. Now there are advertisers pulling out or refusing to run ads related to the Olympics too.

A conscience? Nah, they figured out that having to cancel games in 2020 was costing them $$$ so now they are doing everything they can to not have to cancel games this season. This puts any blame for cancellations directly on the teams/players who decide not to vaccinate.

I have sympathy for the athletes who have worked so hard for years only to have a pandemic screw up their changes last year, but I will be choosing not to watch this year since the committee decided to go ahead with a huge multi-national event during a pandemic.

so... Players of a game are mad at a company about not taking action to remove references to an employee accused of (rather disgusting) sexual misconduct. To show their anger, they are... putting up signs in the game? If only there was another option that would have more immediate effects on the company in question,…

coming soon, COVID-13000BC
<obvious joke is obvious>

The same people who are claiming that COVID is not dangerous because it has a (in their mind) 0.01% mortality rate (not the actual mortality rate) are now claiming that the vaccines are dangerous because 0.0018% of those vaccinated have since died (deaths that may not be related to the vaccine, so rate is likely even…

GOP is always pushing “Buy American”, but then their MAGA gear is made in China and now this “Freedumb” phone is made in China/Korea... Sounds about right.

Does the “FreedomOS” automatically block installation of apps like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc that “gather data”? Hell, literally EVERY APP will collect user data, which they claim to prevent (except for their own purposes).

I mean, toy companies already go out of their way to try to make the toy guns look like toys (bright colors, orange barrel plug, etc) instead of lethal firearms so people (cops) don’t get confused and assume everyone is packing heat. What could possibly go wrong with taking an ACTUAL gun and making it look like a…

Luckily my work does not use Windows Print Servers anymore so we were able to quickly shut down Spooler. I have not seen any suggested workaround aside from “turn off the service”, so I wonder what the path is for shops that use Windows to manage printers - either swap to a different print server or just hope any…
