You’re a Windows shop? Why don’t you deploy a policy that prevents users from shutting down computers?

Stock prices at least have the possibility of being based on something substantial other than dice rolls. Derivatives, not so sure.

Just wondering, how wide is the lace gap on your shoes when you’re laced up? I’ve never needed a shoe horn unless I was trying to get my foot into a shoe that was too small.

BIOS exists no more. It’s all UEFI which is controllable from the outside.

North Indian is the best.

A year is plenty of time to whittle some new wooden clubs for the next inevitable brawl.

How is this news?

At least kids don’t get to smoking them cigarettes like they used to’

What a stark example of Mao’s legacy (look at the dip between ages 60 and 65).

People downvoting you don’t realize how good we have it compared to majority of the world’s population.

What size is an average swimming pool area-wise? Or are you talking about Olympic size swimming pools?

I don’t care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it’s easier to do it again. The rules that could lead to Twitter being banned today might be sane but who knows about the future? Maybe they start blanket banning Lemmy or Mastodon instances if the fediverse grows so large that moderation can’t keep up?

We don’t need a precedent for the EU censoring the internet.

Diablo 2 too, seems like it was just yesterday.

It’s not unreasonable to start charging for an app like that if it is under active maintenance, that costs money for the company after all.

But the lesson for the consumer is: Don’t buy tools that rely on apps or servers ran by someone else unless you want to eventually start paying rent…

Why does that portal need to exist in the first place?
