Man that just sucks. I’ve seen a lot of reporting about the more “conservative” ideologies growing in several EU countries as well. It’s so disheartening. The whole movement is just convincing average people to vote/protest/etc against their own best interests, and oh by the way, education is bad too so don’t get educated or you might see through the charade!
Holy crap that’s wild. I can’t believe the right-wing disinformation campaign in the US is so extreme that it’s leaking beyond our borders.
Kinda reminds me of when the “sovereign citizens” claim that they are a “vessel” and therefore fall under maritime law.
“Whoa, you sure do know some words that are tangentially related to the matter at hand.”
People in the US like to cry first amendment (freedom of speech, etc) any time something they say has consequences.
Funny how the same people with wE tHe PeOpLe bumper stickers are the ones who haven’t actually bothered to read the bill of rights.
Seconded. Data breaches at big companies may be what makes the news, but small businesses (and other organizations) are compromised far more often.
I run an IT team, and if anyone ever suggested buying Windows Home for business use, they’d have a bad day.
Obligatory Poe’s Law mention, since Lenny seems to have agreed that it’s important.
Thank you for realizing the error of your ways

Three dessaggelations, and they’re going to find themselves with a demerit.
I spent far too long looking at properties on that site before remembering that I don’t even live on the same continent as those properties.
Wow, that PIN code is really on the honor system, isn’t it?
We’re pressing words here. I can’t think of a way to do that without a mangled heap of PHP, can you?
I think the average family’s net worth is a negative number, so you’re technically right.
A glorious Silicon Valley reference.
needs to look closer at what’s on their screen
IT guy here. The number of tickets I could close with this as the root cause.
That’s hilarious. The Lemmy hive mind is definitely forming.
recital carrots
I don’t know why, but I read this as “rectal carrots”. Like some sort of a carrot suppository.
Brb, I’m gonna try something…
One year later…
Touch bars are old news. We’re replaced them with this amazing new thing called “keys”!
This sounds like a security nightmare though. A central repository of all code and keys is a gold mine for exploitation. Don’t get me wrong, I would really want this to work, but if it was compromised it could he catastrophic.
I do think there should be regulations in place that are clearly and easily enforceable by the FTC though. I’d love to see companies be hit with fines and/or compulsory refunds if they stop supporting devices and don’t provide some path forward for customers to keep using the device. That doesn’t solve for startups that go out of business, but it would at least cover the tech giants who are doing this garbage.
This drives me crazy. I’ve commented this before, but I’ll say it again:
People in the US love to cry first amendment (freedom of speech, etc) any time something they say has consequences.
Funny how the same people with wE tHe PeOpLe bumper stickers are the ones who haven’t actually bothered to read their own bill of rights. These people also seem to think that “free speech” (as they define it) should only apply to speech they agree with.
