I went from Word 5 to Office 2000, the ribbon and costs made me switch. I left Office, then Windows 10 and 11 made me leave everything Microsoft. I had years of experience doing various flavors of Unix admin before I saw the way out.

Most of the time change is too much trouble. In this case they weren't committed to change, just the appearance of it. I would give Caroline the worthless cunt award for not being diligent about risks and efforts required. How many times has this happened in the past, she can read can't she? Sounds more like a marketing dweeb with a crayon stuck up her nose.

This is a brand of stupid that's proud of being stupid. I'm in Ohio, they're real and their proud of it, their leaders whether religious, or otherwise, tell them what to think.

You ever tried teaching a dog math? Kinda like that, their logic was handed "down" to them and that's Ok with them. Unlike most dogs you can't train them not to shit everywhere in the house.

Which political group was proud to say "It's sometimes necessary to have casualties of gun violence." while leaving out the words "school children". I could make that statement a bumper sticker, but my car would be on fire before morning.

I just want to end with Epstein, it makes me giggle.

Microsoft will rename ... "We threw some shit at the wall and maybe some of it stuck." Tue

I just disabled PBO on two motherboards because I didn't want a space heater or damage another cpu. One older cpu went flakey with "cpu errors" after two years and would only run at reduced load.

In the olden days you never ran hardware above 80 c. A linux utility for monitoring power is ok, but I'm done frying silicon for a few more mips.

Still the response I give when asked to join faceplace or doxmeord.

Now, I can't get the image of Claude wearing a top hat and tails singing "putting on the ritz". For the love of God don't humiliate him.

I switched my router dns to cloudfare, captchas decreased dramatically. I figured they were the lesser of evils between my isp and googles dns.

I saw that too, youtube must be running a dog and pony show for their ad buyers. See how wholesome and pure our platform is, cue the perfect family safe videos.

Truth is I get Party Drug ad videos for a morphone/viagra pill so I can party my dick clean off. Come to think of it its back to school time, to shop, pre holidays, must consume time again.

Not publicly in front of a crowd. I'm gonna go there: Like in a neck and wrist stock on the public square, where we can fling poo at them?

I've worked for assholes like this, hangings too good for them.

Maybe not synergy but they are "removing barriers", mostly from your wallet to their bank accounts.

I think you meant to say, you have to pull up three times as many ads than before. Just a coincidence maybe, sort of.

The "bargain" went out the upper story window with sick puppies on Tv and Cancer kids who don't get the donations from abusive ads. If the Ad people want responsible ad consumption then they have to clean up the toilet bowl of filthy ads out there. Advertiser want all the money (private gains) with a free for all of crappy ads galore (public losses).

Enshitifcation at its finest trying to make themselves look noble. "Go kill yourself." (Bill Hicks)

His replacement will be younger and more aggressive, the current idiot is bad enough.

Putin would just parade then around as veterans to support the cause, gravestones are harder to put in parades.

I have also seen this and the parents are usually ok with it. Its their planet and their choice, other people are an illusion to them. Gasping larger concepts like the planet are foreign to them. The math and logic are also foreign to them. Everybody hates foreingers? Just ask a MAGA who says "we're hurting the wrong people?"

They shouldn't be trying to hurt anyone at all.
