Uh, the Trump administration is staffed by a bunch of people with openly anti-democratic views and they have strong opinions on how other countries should run their affairs as evidenced by J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. From a non-US, non-Chinese point of view, while China is anti-democratic, it is still better than the US in that China at least leaves you alone as long as you don't step on it's tail while the US will without any provocation try to force you to run your country the way they think you should, or outright annex your country like your orange king has threatened Canada and Greenland. For most of the world China is bad but the USA is actually becoming worse and that took some doing on the part of the US.

You mean we will be left in mass graves? They are absolutely not planning to give us any basic income.

Given the requirements to be featured on such a coin, I certainly hope so.

FTFY, see subject. EOM.

It's weird that the reason wasn't that Quark was shit. Quark's interface has always been pathetically inscrutable while Pagemaker's (and subsequently, InDesign's) were immediately approachable and logical. You didn't have to do hard work of memorizing counterintuitive locations to find functionality, because everything was (and is) laid out logically.

I go back to fairly olden times with Pagemaker (back to Aldus in fact) and continued to take a peek at Quark every once in a while, only to find out that it was always terribly fucking irritating. I have never understood how anyone preferred Quark. It had one feature which Pagemaker didn't, arbitary text rotation which you had to do with Illustrator. This seems like a big deal, but it wasn't, because practically all of those people had Illustrator anyway. Obviously Adobe implemented this eventually.

Nice, an AC comment worth reading for once. This is exactly the right answer. Fucking nail that connection, just keep it using the maximum transfer 24/7, however you do it. If they force you to have their service, then use it... use it hard.

For some of them that's true. For most titles, either there is no DRM, or the DRM has been or will be defeated.

It was always arbitrary to claim they couldn't do a more secure OS without those specific features, since most of their security features do not require the not-that-Pixel-specific features they claimed were necessary. Since their OS is not 100% secure since none are, they were always able to achieve their goal of increasing security without those features.

AHahAHAHHAHaHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Thanks for proving you know how nothing works, as if we didn't already know that.

In a world without nations, and without hostile governments, your comment would make sense.

In the real world where we live, it's pathetic cuckery.

Yeah, sure, it only has ten times as many pixels as machines I was doing work on decades ago.

A larger screen and keyboard can be attached to any non-crippled phone.

A lot of people are doing everything on phones and tablets now. And many of those phones have nearly tablet-sized displays.

To pay a fitting tribute to the man, I'd drop the coin into a dish of acid, but then instead of saving it while there was plenty of time left, I'd leave it to be slowly eaten away while occasionally dropping in healing herbs and drops of organic fruit juices, and then only try to rescue it once it was far too late

Yes. Microsoft basically want to turn PCs into dumb terminals while they loot all your data and hold it hostage on their servers.

The words were probably written by CoPilot. That definitely sounds like the kind of thing an LLM would say.

True. Everyone could have their own soundproof pod to work in.
