Did she, though? All I remember is something about a “new small business” subsidy fund, which is… good, I suppose, but didn’t address any of the probkems the average American is facing.

Okay, there was also the suggestion of Medicare for all, which would put a dent in things, but I only heard it casually mentioned once and it sounded like something she was “open to discussing,” not a core part of her platform.

Aside from that, there was nothing directly addressing the core daily problems the majority of people are experiencing, like overpriced living expenses and underpaid wages.

Blaming remote work, the avacado toast of 2023.

When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb

Agreed. This is well outside the scope of native browser functions. Firefox already has a rich extensions ecosystem. They can just include the extension with the browser by default for all I care, but as a native feature, this makes no sense.

They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.

Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON’T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?

Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I’ll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.

To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.

Like, I shouldn’t have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn’t work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that’s prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.

Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping “about” a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it’s “dangerous” for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.

Microsoft errors be all like

Contact your administrator

Motherfucker, I am the admin.

So, it’s treason, then

It was right there, dude.

Jesse, we need to cook the books

Same here. Guess we’ll both be alone forever.

No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly “generic” English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.

This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go

Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?

Excuse me, but it’s GNU/Cancer

(sorry couldn’t resist, best of luck Stallman)

Road to hell, good intentions and all that. Government fundamentally misunderstanding the role of cookies and the fact that browsers can handle user privacy with trivial effort by default rather than having every single website annoy the fuck out of you with a million goddamn notifications before actually showing you what you want to see.

Your hot take is really just facts.

Actually, it’s pretty close to a single order of magnitude; $80b on education vs. $877b military. Not that it detracts from the point, though, nearly a trillion dollars is a metric shit-ton of money.

For reference, $80b/year is about an order of magnitude less than what the US spends on the military. Suddenly a lot of the ways America … is… kind of makes sense.
