I’ve never seen the waste management on these. I guess you just dump it all in Flint, MI or somewhere else that can’t afford lawyers.

It’d be cool to see a remake of jaws except the shark is played by a fishing trawler.

Thighs matters!

Torus is tube fellatio.

I’ve heard the phrase “captain of industry”, not sure about “captain of enterprise” i guess that’s basically a synonym.

They’ll have cameras and gps though. So be careful, the cops might protect it more than humans. Catch it in a faraday cage maybe.

Cross my palm with silver, and The spirits will let me reveal a change in your fortunes.

Rarely good jokes.

Breaking onedrive? I’m confused. It’s like that thing in Southpark “How do you kill that which has no life?”

Most people - especially those without critical thinking - are clicking buttons in browser based CRM systems. Or using some other web-gui hold their hand and query or transact with a database. OS makes no difference to them.
Even my very slow public sector org has moved most of its database interfaces to web apps by now - though i think there re still two important native windows (probably DOS) applications.

Apart from those something like Chrome OS or OSX would probably be best for them - they just need a stable, up to date web browser.

with cloud storage, and even MS pushing people to web apps, even paper pushers working via documents can still just use browser for stuff, and many are.

Lots of people i work with suck so badly at MS Word that they don’t even know how shitty the web version is. They literally just click stuff and if the OS opens a web interface, then that’s what they use.

Most of these people use androids or i phones for lots of things, so they certainly are capable of using things that are not windows - they just learn what buttons they need to click to do what. Like they would’ve in the 70s/80s with a unix terminal. Or in the 30s if they were operating a telephone switchboard.

Yeah , most of the people in our IT don’t know how to use windows, much less teach anyone else about it.

They just try, and often fail to lock it down so that people can’t break it. They remote in and make something slightly less bad and say, “well that was all setup wrong”. but they never teach anyone a thing - or apparently learn how to use install all this ms shite they buy before they force it on us.

I think that’s the real issue with linux. IT people don’t want to learn it, and learn how to secure it - because many of them - especially the mamagers have got imposter syndrome about windows or something or stockholm syndrome, i dunno…

At least when they fuck it up with miscsoft they can often blame MS - and often they’ve got a reasonable case ans MS does seem to keep fucking them over with updates.

Yeah “fag” is fine in context such as: “I’m just nipping out for a fag” “Can I bum a fag?”

But you can’t say it to, or about, a person, well, unless you’re a homophobe.

‘faggot’ is almost always a slur though, you’d better be in that rare circumstance where you’re very clearly referring to a bundle of sticks otherwise, no.

I guess ‘nip’ is also occasionally a racist slur for Japanese, but normally quite innocent; just something quick. or a pinch, or a wee dram.

Vaguely related, you might be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polari. A few British slang terms migrated out of queer-creoles into more mainstream usage , possibly via popular radio and tv.

Very much not good in England. You might well think England did enough to fuck up that part of the world in '47. But no we still have to be a bucket load of racist cunts.

Just need the bot’s waste heat to get concentrated into the kettle and I can waste two birds with one cuppa.

I tell my mam to start a youtube channel called: “Lichen subscribe” whenever she starts going on about them.

I always think of lots of complex lifeforms as fancy meatbags protecting and feeding complex colonies of bacteria , even virus type things inside them largely symbiotically. Like in futurama ‘Parasites lost’.

But this is turning into more of an enema thought than a shower .

Try the: “i have no idea about and at this point i’m afraid to ask.”

or the “change my mind” one

God, memes are fucking shite.

To defend against ai or to defend their paywalls?

If they’re not putting their “knowledge” in to public domain I’m not sure how bothered I am.

I think print media is pretty much dead as a way of accountability, and i think something sharper might be beneficial.

There’s another function hiding under the ‘pause’ key:

AI seems like it will help the already bad bosses do more - which seems like a bad thing. It’s better if the bad ones just wank off in the toilet all day.

I think how much difference it will make in the long run will depend on who gets sacked and who survives.

It’s rarely about literal monopoly. It’s more often about market power. Choice is one tool that consumers, and small scale producers have to ameliorate some of the consequences of market power.

Of course having market power, is not the same as abusing it to harm consumers - but if the profit margins are ‘abnormal’ and persistent and or uneven throughout the supply chain that’s sometimes a good indicator. If choice/competition isn’t whittling down excess profits in the long run, then there might be some distorted power relationships somewhere in the market or supply chain.

Proving/ disproving the alleged ‘unwritten rule’ might be quite interesting though. But competition investigations need to be quite wide ranging and it is notoriously difficult to prove anything.
