How dare you question the wisdom of Big Balls and his peers

You're not wrong, there was nothing illegal about firing the joint chiefs.

It was stupid, but not illegal. Calling everything Trump does illegal, only serves to dilute the impact when he does actual illegal things.

Much like labeling everything 'Nazi', it only serves to cheapen the term.

POV: It's 2007 and you just signed up for Netflix, streaming is so simple and easy

Explains why the front is starting to fall off.

Does it have minimal crew requirements?

It can't even reproduce the opening paragraph of Moby Dick

A great example of what I'm talking about.

"Disagree? You're a Nazi"

You're cheapening the word and helping them become normalized.

If I'm using VoIP, it reduces the system volume by 50%.

There isn't an option to change this in the Windows 10 UI. You have to dig through the options to find the Windows XP menu to change it. This setting no longer saves between reboots, so every time I boot I have to dig through the same 3 layers of volume settings.

Lots of network settings are unavailable in the modern settings menu. You have to find the "advanced" menu which is just the menu from older versions of Windows.

Each major system update there's a new layer of configuration menus, each with a different set of options some are redundant. They're all integrated with the system in their own unique way and the people that worked on them are not part of the team that's working on the next iteration.

They can't remove the old menus so they just add another one on top. At least in a Linux DE, you know that pipewire is the sound system and there is one way to configure it. You can choose from many different GUI applications if you want a graphical interface, but they're all editing the same configuration.

The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.

Meta has a chatbot that makes pirated books available?

Great place, except for how far from NYC it is. I miss the days of being able to travel to NYC in less than 24 hours
