As far as I know you don't need to pay half a million dollars to read your mentions.

I read it as... 20 years ago we were the ones being censored so we created a free speech hosting. But now that it's our side doing the censorship, we're not so sure anymore.

Low emission zones already exist and have existed for years.

"Airplane tickets are too cheap" is a talking point of French politicians recently. It's likely they will do something about it.

The EU already has a law in place saying no more regular cars can be sold starting in 2035. Of course, with a nice exception for Ferraris.

These dystopian things are happening now, I'm not imagining things.

People aren't going to "degrow" by themselves, so governments turned authoritarian will force them, but will do so in a way that won't affect the rich.

For example, low emission zones for cars - you have to have a new car to be able to drive in a low emission zone. So, who can afford it?

Cheap airplane tickets, make them more expensive - who will be able to afford to fly? Beef contaminates, make it more expensive, same result.

You can follow the logic from there.

"Degrowth" is code for "poor people should have fewer things"

You probably don't have a slow hard disk

I understand the thermometer analogy but it would read much better if the post was reversed.

>2030: The market share of ARM-based Windows machines overtakes x86_64.

Yeah, they wish...

LibreOffice doesn't come preinstalled with Windows. It also is very bloated compared to WordPad.

>There’s no reason to be outraged by this decision, as WordPad has been out-of-date for years and is barely usable for its intended purpose, which was to replace to view and edit rich text files (RTF, or *.rtf).

It can open and edit docx files, no? MS has suggested Office as an alternative, but Office costs money, so yes, this is lost functionality.

And no I am not interested in uploading my docx files to google docs or microsoft office online to edit them, as they may contain private information.

Dunno why everybody is using this thread to compare the EU to the US, as if I cared about how it is in the US.

I'm telling you I pay over half my salary in taxes and get little in return. Whatever happens in the US is not my problem.

Taxes on your salary, + VAT, + rest of taxes you pay for owning a car, a house, + taxes on petrol, etc amounts to at least half your salary in most European countries.

It's more like we pay half our salary in taxes and then we get terrible education and a healthcare system where you can't even get an appointment.

This is done usually so you can sideload apps.

Low-hanging fruit: make article names clickable!

Which is good, since votes shouldn't be worth more depending on where you live.

Canada is a fully democratic country where citizens are allowed to vote for whomever they see fit. They have the politicians they voted for.

Seeing bugs is one thing (I stopped using twitter like 5 years ago or so and it was always a bug fest so I can believe it got even worse) but we are talking about a single specific bug here with important privacy consequences. Some reliable proof would be nice.

Let me take this opportunity to recommend this recipe from my country - https://www.thespruceeats.com/galician-style-octopus-recipe-...

You don't know how to use twitter but you know how to use mastodon? Aren't they basically the same thing?

Filling up in 10 minutes instead of hours is worse because... it's so convenient and quick that you may forget to fill up the previous day? This is not a very good argument.

You can solve this by leaving the house ten minutes later, which you should do anyway in case something happens.
