Is it, though?

Maybe she just made more money than she can ever spend and decided to just enjoy life, doing what she actually likes vs. what pays well

Daniel Radcliffe is a great example of that. He was set for life by the time he was 18 and he decided to just take jobs for fun. So we see Radcliffe in these rather obscure and weird quirky movies. It’s not because he’s washed up, it’s because he’s washed over and done and he’s just having fun

Not saying I know for sure it’s the same for without her spoon, but I think people react weird when an A list celebrity gets a bit quieter

And sites handling every link with JavaScript, making Ctrl - click to open in a new tab impossible

Fuck all sites that break basic browser functions

To paraphrase someone:

You need to win every time. I need you to lose only once.

Anyone thinking that this won’t pass this time, or next year, or the year after that or the year… They will push this as a new thing, wrapping the same bullshit lies in a new paper each time…

Eventually it’ll pass, it always does. All they need is patience

The only possible cou ter to this is to enshrine the right to own a computer and internet access into your constitution or something like that.

Walmart now?

Have there been more fire bombings?

Waluigi?

I’m too scared to look it up

What’s up with the AI slop image for this post?

Also, Mozilla is destroying Firefox by themselves, they don’t need help from m$

What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless… I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I’m already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)

I guess I’m looking for a “download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list” type thing

wealth caps

world wide…

Yeah, it will be hard for the rich to accept that, but its better and easier than switching to a completely different system like communism.

Just continue with everything the same, with a whole bunch of tax brackets, but after 10 million dollar networth is reached, 100% of your income goes to taxes until you’re below the threshold again.

This is a fairly simple rule to implement with huge consequences. Nobody can become a billionaire anymore. Nobody can hoard wealth, wealth will spread to the poor now as well, feeding a middle class that was starved, to become the biggest group

Governments now get a huge income stream that they can use for free education, free housing, free healthcare, universal basic income.

Since nobody can become insanely rich anymore, you will have less people push for the get rich quick schemes. Companies will cheat way less because why? It won’t get you any extra income if you hit the limit already, so why would you? Nobody is insanely rich, so nobody is insanely powerful either, so no more trumps, no more musks. Greed will actually stop if you put a hard limit on how much you can be worth.

Prices of goods would go down to normal again. Can’t own a 100M dollar home if your max worth is 10M. A family of 2 could potentially own a 20M home, but they would have no money left for anything else, like food. Art will once again be priced normally and most art can return to the museums for everyone to enjoy.

Big-ass billion dollar company? Well, that requires at least 100 share holders, but they would not be able to own anything besides that company because again, hard caps. Company shares rise? Great! Now some of your shares will go to the government because hard caps. You don’t want to lose money just because the shares go down, so you will likely share your shares over multiple companies. So you’ll end up with more smaller companies with many many more owners and shareholders. No more single venture capital company that can buy up companies to then shred them out.

I could go on for a while, but you get the picture.

I would say that 10M is much, still, I would even go for a cap on 5M.

That is the question in the end: Is it ethically good. The question of “Does some imaginary god like it” doesn’t really matter

In other words, lets please add wealth caps world wide. If nobody can get richer than, say, 10 million dollars, then things change quickly, and its a relatively simple change to implement

I meant more “How do I get the media”. I have a 7K songs spotify list which is the only reason I haven’t quit the horror show that is spotify; how would I find this music again outside of spotify?

Outlook is just impressively bad. When I came back to work from the weekend, there was this attack on one of our sites that sent out a notification for each attack it detected and I came to work to 20K new emails.

Ever tried, to delete 20K emails from outlook? Its amazingly stupid! First of all, you can’t just bulk select. Search won’t help either (Search half the time returns nothing anyways) so you have to kind of select one, scroll 2387942 times down until you are a few thousand mails in. Now, this is important: Click correctly! If you click wrong, all the mails you’ve selected so far will be unselected again and you have to start over. Press shift, and select a mail. Now you have a few thousand mails selected. Press delete.

And now go for a coffee because you won’t be able to use your outlook for the next 30 minutes. You can’t open mails, can’t refresh the page (you’ll get a crash page if you do). Half an hour later, outlook reloads again, and you’ll see that it successfully deleted about 80% of your selected mails. The other 20%, I hear you ask? Yeah, those were just not deleted. Why? I don’t know? Why are you asking me?!

I would constantly see “There are 6K mails” and then the table where the mail headers are shown shows 7 mails… Load more? Nope, nothing, need to reload the page.

Try copy paste! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkk if they don’t crash, they will just piss you off… Now pasting gets you this weirdo paste box. You can’t type anymore, there is this stupid paste thing floating, and you need to press ESC to continue.

Half the time I’m writing an email and the text formatting options just disappear, and I can’t do any formatting anymore. I can fix this, I just have to get out, to go drafts, reopen the mail I was writing because fuck you, that’s why.

How about outlook365? Its awesome and amazing! I write text and I can see bits and pieces of the text I wrote previously just disappear, like its high on Alzheimer. You literally just see parts of paragraphs disappear while you are writing below. Best part of this? Then you change your useragent to say that you’re not on linux, but on windows, and the problem magically resolves itself!

Microsoft is the worst software company ever

You mean the world

It’s AI slop

The random single mention of radiation tells me this is just another AI blurp

Yes

I wouldn’t even /s that

Have you ever used outlook?

It’s the worst, and no, it never works. The company I work at forces outlook on us, still, and there are some 5% of users that can’t mail each other. Why? Don’t know! I send a mail to a person, outlook logs say it was delivered, it’s nowhere to be found. What to do? According to the company, just live with it and creat new accounts from scratch when it happens

We could ask support as the company pays hefty windows license fees but even there it’s tucked up as M$ refuses to help directly it needs to go through some support company that wants that we pay them even more no ey separately for the long list of microbugs.

I find it almost hilarious, if I didn’t have to work with it myself.

Giving astronauts outlook accounts is just mean

That dog is so dead by now

Ever seen a normal Linux terminator?

Unless you run a pihole server
