Nobody is referring to 10 years as “months”.

When you’re talking about multiples of years, it’s going to be called years, not months. They were obviously talking about a short timeline, less than 2 years, likely less than 1 year.

They have no idea what they’re talking about.

Like I said, months is a joke.

Yep, months is a joke, doubly so when talking about tens of millions of lines of code and also COBOL specifically.

This is going to be a hilarious disaster but not so hilarious when people who need the benefits need them and won’t be able to get them.

It is indeed very difficult to type convert 001.jpg example.pdf and ffmpeg -i rock.mp4 rock.avi

Yes, correct, I made a typo. I fixed it now.

Same thing that happened with NCIX’s personal information data, it probably goes to the highest bidder.

All the forums I used to go to on any regular basis are dying out or dead - NotebookReview, DSLReports, etc.

I still stop by Linus Tech Tips forum and GBATemp and Overclock.net and ServeTheHome on rare occasions.

It might be time to release the shackles of Windows and head on over to Linux.

Or I guess you could get Windows 10 LTSC.

I’d say probably autumn, or maybe spring. Summer is too hot and winter is too cold, though it is fun going inside to a nice heated home during winter and going inside to a nice cooled home during summer, I hate that I got sick this winter with bronchitis and I’m still getting over it even though I haven’t been sick for multiple years until now. Autumn just looks really nice, but leaves can be slippery when walking outside so you gotta be a bit careful too.

Many Americans are exactly as the stereotypes about them say they are, loud and stupid.

Yes, I know a guy like this. I’m not aware of his considerations of how he is able to separate science from religion, other than I guess the fact that they are two separate things.

most people are stuck with the couple choices they have in town and when tech comes in and forces the enshitificstion of services in order to pump stock price you’re stuck just eating this shit forever.

Is that the fault of the technology, though, or is that the fault of the companies?

Companies can have stupid, arbitrary rules and requirements and policies and do stupid or harmful actions regardless of technology or not.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame tech for company policies.

if I went to a restaurant and was told that I had to install and use their app to order their food, I would fucking leave. If it was the only restaurant left in town then I’d have much less choice in the matter. The insidious nature of technology is that it changes “can” with “must”.

That’s not really the fault of technology though, that’s the fault of how companies are implementing technology through their policies and procedures.

Well, I’d say it’s because they don’t even hide it anymore. They know they can do whatever they want, and get away with it.

Enshitification is a real thing, and companies and evil people are being blatant about it, because they know they don’t have to hide it because they know they can’t be stopped.

It sucks. I hate it. I wish we could do something about it.

I was subconciously always thinking “man, imagine if Proton screws up some day and all the people who switched to it have to switch away, that would suck” but didn’t think it would actually happen, but man, with enshitification, it’s actually possible lmao

One of my neighbors has a model 3 and I don’t think he knew.

That said, I’ll take what you said on faith, because I think you’re spot on with everything else.

I mean, it’s not a secret that governments everywhere run really outdated software (think things like Windows 7 and older) because “it works”, so it really shouldn’t be too surprising.

Active user numbers is probably less than 1 million, but still, 30 million accounts created is quite likely pretty good.

I feel like the reason the reason why it’s taking off so much is because it’s not federated.

It’s like people hear the term federation and they get afraid. I know it’s not that simple but still.

In other words, people don’t know what they actually need.

Is America great yet?

The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.
