This is bigger than just fucking over poor people (which it it totally does). Every school in the country gets reduced internet costs thanks to USF, libraries can afford public WiFi for everyone thanks to USF, a lot of the broadband grants that came out after Covid had something to do with USF.
This is bigger than killing net neutrality, this is a step back from any public help for getting people connected.
If by “goof thing” you mean a bunch of gun-nut goofballs are trying to undermine democracy and succeeding, then I agree.
I mean, if you’re making a conscious effort to read that totally wrong…. yeah, that’s what it says.
It’s not a war crime if it’s the first time……
Yeah, I love Linux and would use it on everything if I could, but the bottom line is, it’s cheaper to pay Microsoft for something that “just works” with the literal decades old software businesses have used without major issue than it would be to help fund development for a Linux based version.
It’s not fair, it’s not right, and you could probably make an argument that it’s not ethical, but the fact of the matter is, Windows does work. It’s got a whole boatload of quirks and every day I wonder why I hate myself so much that I chose a career that involves working on Windows so much, but it does do its job.
Plus, I know Canonical isn’t the most popular company either, but do people think them, Redhat, SUSE, and whatever other company isn’t out to make money?
I just came from another post where the user said they would love to switch from Windows and just needed someone to explain how to do it with a list of features and programs they always use and asking what the Linux equivalent would be.
They made the mistake of saying they needed Outlook for work and there was a commenter that basically said that that person was never going to like Linux and they needed to stay far away from it because the user “painted themselves into a corner.” The commenter even took the time to call it “Micro$oft” lol
I loved AsusWRT-Merlin back when I used an Asus router.
Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.
Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.
I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.
Careful, my comment was removed for jokingly saying OP was a shill for not outright saying Spotify wasn’t paying him.
Obviously a corporate shill. He never outright said he wasn’t being payed.
I remember the first time I learned about patent licensing….
Shit. Looks like we forgot about him again.
That is pretty old for milk.
So, the Kindle OS is really basic.
If you’re able to jailbreak, look at installing KUAL and KOReader and that should change your experience enough to not need an entire new OS.
Kindle Fire was the original name of Amazons Android tablets. They later became just “Fire Tablets” and dropped Kindle from the name.
You’re seeing a lot about flashing the Kindle Fire because they still come without Google apps installed and some users believe that makes them very hamstrung. A custom ROM like LineageOS makes it a “real” Android tablet.
I love Dashlane, someone tell me why it’s bad.
But during game time, best possible choice.
Dude. I’m saying this as someone who as been in your position and only as time has gone on realized this really is true.
This isn’t about what’s cringe. This isn’t about what other people say after you do something. This person made your life better to the point you feel the need to show them your appreciation. If you think that standing on your chair and belting out a totally tone deaf version of their favorite song would make that person the happiest, then fucking do it and everyone who says something or makes fun of you just doesn’t understand or doesn’t have someone that they can feel that close to. You will forget the embarrassment, but knowing you told someone you cared about how much you appreciate them will never leave you.
Obviously horrible and everything……. But why dough?
No dammit. I want my browsing activity mixed in with 5,000 other peoples. Am I logging in to my bank or yours? That’s the fun! Nobody knows!
