The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.

Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.

Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top

Congratulations to Suigi getting the quadfecta! After watching Karl’s videos on Suigi’s 120 and 70 star records, I knew it only had to be a matter of time until he’d conquer them all.

Bruh really chickened out on the chance of a lifetime like that?? Even if you lose, you got to 1v1 a billionaire!

Instead of focusing on external threats and concerns, legal streaming platforms themselves could make the most progress by changing their pricing.

Among all self-proclaimed Norwegian pirates, the most common reasons to stop were more affordable legal streaming services (41%) and the availability of a broader range of content per service (35%).

It’s almost like people don’t like paying more and more for streaming services with less and less shows on them, when the pirates will offer you everything in one much smaller subscription (if not for free).

In addition, analyses with 2,969 false uniform resource locators revealed higher shares and, hence, SwoCs [Shares without Clicks] by conservatives (76.94%) than liberals (14.25%), probably because, in our dataset, the vast majority (76–82%) of them originated from conservative news domains.

Damn, never would’ve seen that one coming /s

Exactly, I’ll take boring over exciting if it means my phone will be more reliable over time.

It’s the same reason that won’t go for a foldable phone. They look cool, really cool, but moving parts means breaking parts - and if they break, they’re bloody expensive to replace.

Exactly. Why do the hard job of actually safeguarding the kids when you can just use them as an excuse to grab onto more unnecessary powers?

It’s like as though the Government is incapable of coming up with solutions to online problems that don’t involve immediately invading people’s privacy.

I’d say next thing is they’ll be trying to ban encryption, but they’ve literally already started on that one.

Well if we use JD Vance’s Razor, it checks out to me.

You wouldn’t post it if weren’t true, right @[email protected]

Oh boy, here we go again…

Will the Government succeed in their age ban, or will they learn (once again) that they’re just not that effective.

You tell kids, especially teens, that they can’t use social media, they’re gonna want to use it more - and they will bypass any restrictions you put in their way.

Similar to what I said about Australia, it’s like how CoD is meant to be 18+ yet somehow still full of prepubescent squeakers who all apparently fucked your mother last night and have Dads who work for Xbox.

It would be far better to engage parents/schools in educating kids on how to more responsibly use social media and to critically analyse information - or alternatively force social media companies to implement better safeguards for kids who do end up on there, rather than play an endless and desperate cat and mouse race against them.

Well fair and square might be cutting Trump too fair a deal. He talked big about election rigging right before the vote - and one of the core tenants of the GOP is projection, so I don’t doubt he was up to some scummy shit same as last time.

If you don’t stand for the rights of others, there’ll be nobody left to stand for your’s - so get standing!

It’s certainly an odd situation to behold, and the thought of getting with someone twice my age makes me feel gross, but they’re both legally adults and appear to be happy with the arrangement, so I guess there isn’t all that much to do but wish her the best and get used to the new son-in-law.

Having said that, 65 isn’t all that old for an OAP, so I hope for both their sakes that there is more to it than her being just his sugar baby - I can’t imagine decades of loveless marriage to be good for anyone.

When Entrekin’s predecessor died while still in office, all the money in the food provision account went to his estate — as state law dictated, a county official told NPR. Entrekin had to borrow $150,000 to keep the inmates fed. He was paying down that debt for years"

I’d feel bad for Entrekin going into debt over this, if it weren’t for the fact he went into debt exactly because of someone else abusing…

“Alabama Law is clear regarding my personal financial responsibilities of feeding inmates. Until the legislature acts otherwise, the Sheriff must follow the current law.”

… Ahem, Sorry, “lawfully abiding by” the exact same laws that Entrekin is making bank from too. How else does someone with a salary of $93,000 afford a $1.7 million property??

Oh and…

Lawyer Aaron Littman, at the Southern Center for Human Rights, said in a January statement that the practice of pocketing leftover funds was a “dubious interpretation” of the law that “raises grave ethical concerns, invites public corruption, and creates a perverse incentive to spend as little as possible on feeding people who are in jail.” He argues the sheriffs are supposed to manage the funds, not personally profit from them.

Damn right. Nobody should be able to profiteer like these Sheriffs do from what is meant to feed inmates. They may be prisoners, but they still deserve to be fed like people.

Welcome Anon to the confusing gameshow of “Is she flirting or is that just how she is with friends!” /s

I kinda want to know what Anon and his “female coworkers” thinks counts as flirting. Simply being nice to someone and having fun talking to them isn’t flirting, as much as some guys might like to think it is. Now if she was a more touchy person, I can see how that’d be mistaken, as being touchy is also a common way of flirting.

Though find it odd that she waited until the very last minute to ask if her boyfriend could come. And also, guessing “I’m no longer interested” is paraphrased, cause nobody on 4Chan is mature enough to not make things incredibly uncomfortable at work after this.

Oh, I’m not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it’s inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake’s age and he retired years ago

Soltanov then described natural gas as a “transitional fuel”, adding: “We will have a certain amount of oil and natural gas being produced, perhaps forever.”

Azerbaijan pledging to limit emissions with one hand while striking fossil fuel deals with the other. Betraying the world to make a quick buck.

Also makes sense that they’d be delusional enough to think their gas money is gonna last forever. What does they think nonrenewable means? This isn’t Minecraft where you can just keep digging basically forever.

The BBC has also seen emails between the COP29 team and the fake investors.

In one chain, the team discusses a $600,000 (£462,000) sponsorship deal with a fake company in return for the Socar introduction and involvement in an event about “sustainable oil and gas investing” during COP29.

Also, trying to imply there is any such thing as “sustainable oil and gas” is heinous. It will run out, if this money grubbing doesn’t run us out first.

Considering the sheer amount of mis/disinformation we’ve seen in just our own media over the last decade (cough the NHS buses cough), I absolutely agree that we need the government to be putting more accountability onto online media sources (I.e. news publishers and social media platforms) for the mis/disinformation they allow to propagate through them, and to find more ways to increase the digital literacy of our population (particularly the elderly and children) so they’re more resistant to it in the future.

Which is why I don’t think it’ll happen, because the Hague doesn’t even have the enforcement capability to drag him there - nevermind actually punish him for everyhing he’s done.
