They’re coming for you. You have to move, now!

IIRC, people have previously reported that Windows 11(?) switched their default browser back to Edge after installing an update.

Exactly what I was referring to. It’s one of the reasons that the CIA requested the FBI inquiry into Trump that resulted in the raid on Mar a Lago.

I’ve been thinking about spending a few years dead for tax reasons.

Thanks, I fucking love it.

Reminds me of a story from when I was younger of a guy who killed 3 people with a katana at a drug deal gone bad at a local motel. The courts ruled it was self-defense.

The most cyberpunk “street samurai” shit I’ve ever heard. Just needs to have the dude deflecting bullets to seal the deal.

Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80s. His ties to Russian criminal organizations have been known since then, but the FBI has never been able to get any charges to stick.

The CIA believed that he gave Putin information about current intelligence operations and agents against Russia during his presidency enough to request an inquiry which led to the FBI raid on Mar a Lago, where they found confidential documents on CIA activity amongst all the other confidential documents illegally held there after his term.

He will side with Russia, guaranteed.

Aye, as an American, I have only a limited view of the big picture, but my understanding of it is that while it was definitely a politicized issue across the globe, a lot of the far right extremists were emboldened to make it such a big issue by the actions of Trump and the Republican party in the US.

Like that convoy of Canadian Trump rioters who can’t even vote for him if they wanted to because they live in Canada. Trump’s been a poster-boy for crazies all across the globe.

Trump made masks political, so wearing one is a political statement to these people.

They have made their political beliefs their entire personality to compensate for their low self confidence and so have to aggressively display their beliefs like a peacock anytime they think somebody is challenging those beliefs, regardless of how benign or irrelevant it is.

True. I even added the “probably” after writing it for that reason, but that’s still giving them too much benefit of the doubt.

If he’s bringing politics into the workplace, that’s unprofessional behavior, and he should be reported to HR.

And just because you work together doesn’t mean you have to be friends. Only talk to him when it’s strictly necessary and ignore him otherwise, and he’ll probably eventually get the hint that you don’t like him.

But that’s more of a “assholes being assholes” thing than it is a “the world is dictated by night owls” thing.

Don’t forget to somersault 4 times in a row on your way there.

The internet is weird. You’d be surprised at some of the issues that still happen today.

I once had an issue where I couldn’t log into the servers of an MMO, despite my internet being perfectly fine. After much trial and error, I figured out that the reason I couldn’t log in was because while I played on East Coast servers, all login authentification was done through servers at the companies HQ on the West Coast, and there was a local outage of a DNS server or something out in New York somewhere, which meant that I couldn’t reach the login servers. Literally nothing I could do because a line was down several states away and I therefore couldn’t play the game.

Plenty of people, even right here on Lemmy.

A cat and a Blahaj? This girl’s got her life together.

This is the thing that drives me crazy. Especially with those “I don’t want my money going to pay for the wrong kind of person’s healthcare” idiots. It already does. You already pay for that. Private healthcare is socialized healthcare except with some rich dumbass acting as a middleman so he can scrape a ton of money out while denying grandma that new hip she needs in the name of profits.

Just because you call it an “insurance fee” and pay more than if it was called a “tax” doesn’t somehow make it better.
