Showerthought: Someone somewhere probably attempted to sell “meat that cooks while it’s shipped!” with radioactive plates/packaging.
Early 20th century snakeoil salesmen were wild when it came to radioactive shit.

Boots up gaming PC
Windows: “YOU IN DANGER ZONE! NEED WINDOWS 11! BUY NEW PC U SCRUB!!!111”
Load up Steam
Steam: “Hey, I see MS are being assholes - click here to install SteamOS instead”
Reboot PC
Millions of people never run windows again
I’m dreaming but that would be amazing. That would make this the year of the Linux desktop. C’mon GabeN, make it happen!
What. A. Weird. Thing. To be annoyed. By.
Nah, they won’t be able to do their fucking job but I’d bet every non-essential part will last. That washing machine craves telling it’s dumb fuck user “D80” and then proceed to do nothing with the load.
As long as that control board can get a couple watts it will sing its song to hopefully coax some poor fool into feeding it.
Sorry yeah I’m missing a whole ass sentence there haha… As bork picked up, once off the court, take the empty box and replace with the full box.
“Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean?”
I mean I would get it if they had an empty box out on the court for the show, and then having to take away the empty show box… But they gave the kid a jersey instead? Wtf?
Well they’re no friends of mine
I’ve noticed this and really thought it was the website. All sides lose.
Enshittification at its finest.
Different scales. Money is a simple -infiniti to +infiniti. Problems is a parabola that starts starts at +infiniti, approaches zero (without ever getting to zero) before returning to +infiniti when graphed against Money.
The people that coined this phrase clearly lived on the cusp of that return upward on this graph so their observation is limited to that subset.
It’s the “is it a space or is it an underscore” that gets ya.
Thousand times this. For actual builders that care about the nuance it all probably makes sense but then there is me over here looking at pre-builts wondering why the fuck are two seemingly identical machines have a $500 difference between them.
I’m spending so much time pouring through spec sheets to find “oh the non-z version discombobulator means this cheaper one is gonna be trash in three years when I can afford to upgrade to a 6megadong tri-actor unit”.
I’m in this weird state of to cheap to buy a Mac and can’t be arsed to build my own.
First let me say: I’m glad you’re making this observation. The shitastic propaganda machines need to be called out.
Now second, I have a point to make but I should give some context first. I already blocked that community and many others about politics and war and crap because I’m just tired of all of it. That said, before I did, it didn’t seem like endless war was all (or even mostly) anti-ukraine in nature. It did seem anti-US but I wasn’t about to go looking into that statistically - just an observation regarding the titles of posts that did percolate up my feed from time to time.
Now, I’m not an admin here, but if I were (based on experiences in past adminning forums, chatrooms and reddit subs) I would ask for citations and proof of the problem. It’s all well and good to just say “go look for yourself” but people have jobs and other interests. I regularly would ignore these things, but if someone went to the effort to present proof? Then you had my interest. Like, don’t reply to me with it, edit it back in your original post - like I say, I’ve blocked it and I’ve moved on.
I would be looking to know if there are multiple accounts posting shit or is it one or two “power users” posting the majority of it. Were the mods of the sub alerted to it? (Obvious moot point if it’s the mods posting…) Showing the response from the mods will really sell what tone they’re aiming for in the sub. Hell - if they have it written in their community header info that they are their to pander to putin, that’s evidence too. “Seems to be”, as you wrote, is highly conjectural.
Anyway, that was my two cents (and, yes, with the state of the dollar and the fact we have no pennies anymore that means it’s worth fuck all.) I wish you good luck in your mission to expose the assholes of the world - we do need to stay vigilant.
And also because I might not have been clear: fuuuuuuuuuck russia.
For a good number of years I was always trying to write this in my backyard or fields.
Not one damn pilot ever did a barrel roll for me.
I should try again this winter.
Once I get the family loaded up and on the road. Wife rolls her eyes every time. 😁
Here’s my try: Anthology movie. Each one fights larger and larger hordes of enemies while trying to find loot and spells.
Meanwhile death does the narration and the whole time waxes on about mortality.
No vampires ever appear on screen.
