Especially in the 80s and 90s Microsoft sold tons to consumers, and advertised to them too. The OEM model didn't come later. And even then, it wasn't quite as black/white and still sold (and advertised) to consumers. "Al

Selfish or otherwise unpleasant people can be found in any demographic: childless people, people with children, people over 1.80m, people under 1.80m, etc. Some demographics certainly have higher ratios of unpleasant people. In some demogra

It seems easier to me to just learn half-way decent programming skills than play all these games. Only half joking.

I used Publisher to edit the local scouting magazine about 15/20 years ago. I inherited that from the previous guy. It's one of the few Microsoft products that I actually enjoyed using: I felt it worked pretty well. Eventually I m

There are plenty of free non-adtech alternatives: Proton, Tuta, probably others. Even more options if you're willing to pay a few monetary units/month for it. You don't really need to run your own email server.

I donated just a few times, and to be honest I really hated it. I figure that I donated about as much as I'm ever likely to receive, and that's "good enough" for this particular contribution. I seeded to a ratio of 1. Al

The military getting involved is an absolute last resort type thing. And comes with risks of its own: military coups/juntas that started out as a legitimate dethroning of a dictator are not unheard of.

I'm not responding to a lazy condescending Wikipedia link dump where I have to guess what you could perhaps mean with it. If you have something to say, then say it. Otherwise don't post.

No, what the previous poster said is that more people voted for other candidates than for Trump, and that's always been pretty clear. 49.8% of the votes went to Trump. That means 50.2% went to other candidates (Harris, Jill Stein, Chas

IMHO it's kind of meaningless to count the popular vote as it's not a popular election, which influences the results. Why vote in Texas or California? You already know who will win. Will that balance each other out? Unclear. That

"Only" 58% oppose the pardons according to [1]. I mean, it's a majority, but it's not what I'd call "wildly unpopular". It was always going to be opposed by a vast majority of Democrat voters, so relativel

Senate could impeach Trump or other members of the administration, but that requires a two third majority so good luck with that. Note that impeachment is specifically excluded from the presidential pardon. But other than that, yeah, the st

Marc Andreessen said that anyone putting brakes on AI is guilty of murder. Completely coincidentally, Andreessen stands to make billion from AI. He is a deeply unserious person not worth listening to.

This is like tiny stuff. What fundamentally matters is the main projects they're working on and if they're doing a good job with that or not. Maybe a new administration want to to change the culture at GSA/18F. Fine, they can
