It’s less aggressive than “get here now!”

Damn. I tried to remember my childhood and it said cannot find memory, memory may be deleted or orphaned? What does that even mean?

I said “ostensibly at least” because I know it isn’t true in practice- just theory.

Any software can self destruct at any second. The other nice thing about Microsoft is there is (ostensibly at least) a 24/7 large team of competent developers who can work to fix the problem. And failing that a large rich company to sue for damages…

[why would a corporation use windows?]

  • Microsoft office which is still peerless.
  • The ecosystem. Loads of specialist hardware and software has been developed just for windows since the 90s. A lot of this is business critical. Replacing hardware/rewriting drivers for Linux (if even possible/legal) and porting or finding alternative software is really expensive.
  • The free gifts of society. The workforce can by and large use Microsoft products for their productive endeavours. As a result of their education and their previous employment. This skill is expensive to replace with training in another system.

Is this quote from something? I can’t seem to find anything other than a Reddit post.

It’s almost like traditional Labour voters: workers, the youth, the poor, the elderly aren’t exactly impressed with labours drive to make life in the uk worse for all the above sectors of society and see his spineless grovelling to Reform voters and transphobes for exactly what it is.

So this seems good…

PFAS are linked with cancer, fertility issues, and developmental delays in children — yet the E.P.A. has moved to weaken regulations designed to protect Americans

Magnetic tapes are modern ‘permanent’ digital storage - they’re often used for long term archiving and backups. After decades of development and refinement it’s extremely reliable and relatively inexpensive. So I very much doubt that there will actually be long term savings. But we all know that’s not really the point of Doge so I guess who cares.

Today Drop Site News is publishing a landmark investigation about the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza by British journalist Owen Jones. His report is based on interviews with 13 journalists and other BBC staffers who offer remarkable insights into how senior figures within the BBC’s news operation skewed stories in favor of Israel’s narratives and repeatedly dismissed objections registered by scores of staffers who, throughout the past 14 months, demanded that the network uphold its commitment to impartiality and fairness. Jones’s investigation of the BBC has three main components: a deeply reported look into the internal complaints from BBC journalists, a quantitative assessment of how the BBC characterizes the year-long siege on Gaza, and a review of the histories of the people behind the coverage—and, in particular, one editor, Raffi Berg.

“Killing terrorists” cool phrasing you’ve got there buddy. Does that include the children in the pediatric hospital?

And yeah, conducting an indiscriminate bombing campaign, mass starvation, systemic sexual abuse and any other crime from list of inhuman barbarity against the entire civilian population of a region is totally the same as killing this one CEO who has blood on his hands with zero collateral.

Ahh yes. The missing element that has been holding back the Russian military efforts: a fat old man who pretends to be tough on camera.

Loving that he did a test with a stick, the truck crushed it and he went ahead and put his finger in it anyway. Real brain of the year guy here.

We probably already have several ‘Mozarts’ at any one time, but due to the class system and the lack of opportunity they’re probably working in some alienating factory trying to scrape by without the time or money or access to learning and materials to engage in their creative endeavours. It’s one of the greatest tragedies of capitalism; the wasted human potential.
