We are obligated to ignore stupid laws. To mock them, to flaunt them and ultimately get them removed.

We are not sheep.

Everyone's (rightfully) bitching about this, and I agree, but none of that solves the problem.

What's the alternative? Give me a TV brand that gives you, ideally, a dumb TV, but alternatively a decent smart TV that is easy to work with.

Responsiveness is an important, and often overlooked, characteristic. It's important.

Brand/model recommendations; go!

The bots are the most interesting part of reddit. It's fascinating to me what foreign actors want us thinking or believing.

It's not like the organic reddit content has any value. This will be like the time onlyfans pretended they were going to get rid of porn.

Since when has "Free speech on the platform" been a consideration for either Alphabet OR Meta?

You think they'll take the loss out of the goodness of their hearts? Absolute bullshit; at most they'll shuffle the numbers around so it's hard to trace how it's being passed on to the consumer or local community.

Remember when "Think of the children" was a phrase which was rightly mocked as manipulative and only fooled the smoothest of the smooth brains who couldn't think beyond their emotional reaction?

Now it's a battle cry that suckers in millions.

Fuck you and that Ribbon.

I'm sorry. This is a topic that makes me nerd-rage.

How in the fuck does using 15% of the screen for a ribbon provide a compact interface when the menu bar is the competition?

LK

I'm so happy to hear of how many people are expressing this same sentiment.

I absolutely abhor the Ribbon interface. I don't care what their market research shows. I don't care what their shills and evangelists say. I do not like it. It's not intuitive at all.

LK

I have hated the Ribbon interface since it became the default. I use LibreOffice specifically to avoid having to use it.

Am I the only one who misses the pixel 2? It felt like the best phone. I was/am a huge fan of the rear finger print reader, and I must have been one of the few that used the squeeze functionality.

Every later version of the pixel is fine, but has felt like a step down from the 2.

That's why Amazon wanted to acquire Ring.

I have a ring camera and I'm hesitant to install it for this reason.

Your strange obsession with comparing poor people to wild animals notwithstanding, there are plenty of valid considerations with the government being involved with free food for kids.

First of all, despite what many here might believe, I do not believe any child should go to bed hungry. In fact, quite the opposite; I believe every child should have quality, nutritious food. I simply doubt the government's ability to do so, a fear that is not without basis.

You have this almost..magical...belief in the competency of the government to provide food to all kids. I find this to be laughable, dangerously so, particularly when paired with the billions associated with such an endeavor.

I never said anything about "poor" people; in fact, I suspect those who would most take advantage of such programs to be middle class folks. You are woefully ignorant of the situation if you think it's just "poor" people.

The underlying point, of course, is that the food we serve these children would be garbage, inherent in the "lowest bidder" process inherent in the government process. How do I know? Because they currently serve trash at our schools to our children.

That's even assuming a level of success I don't believe anyone involved is capable of.

Remember when "it's for the children" was rightly derided for being manipulative and meaningless? When did people start falling for that nonsense?
