I am federated with the bear, but not grad. What’s going on is thinly veiled celebrations. Plus never have I heard a single one of those people have a bad thing to say about Trump or conservatism.

I’m not too sure most of the people on Hexbear are leftists tbh, I reckon they’re fans of authoritarianism more than anything. I even got banned for saying that voting third party (aka not voting against Trump) is pretty much voting for genocide. Of course, they don’t see it that way - Biden and Harris are personally killing Palestinians and under Trump this would surely be stopped.

ETV

Might have to learn Estonian though.

I’m saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they’ll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it’s cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We’re talking about companies here, not people.

It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

Don’t worry, the communists of Lemmy are already celebrating the Trump victory.

They were never leftists, or if they are, then they’re extremely anti-American leftists who want to see the US burn, not improve.

So this is a bit hard to gauge because (as you most likely know), outside of the US, it isn’t just a left-right line that explains everything.

In my experience the far right shitbags are more about “Keep our country ours” and “Keep the tradition of marriage pure” (aka let’s deport all black people and criminalize the gay). But in my country at least they want to keep healthcare and such. It’s the liberals, aka the center right, that wants private health insurance. At the same time, the liberals socially are quite liberal…

In many countries it’s been working long enough that unless someone tries to fuck with it, nobody really thinks about it

Or blueshift for the other half

And who’s going to buy anything for this local currency if it starts appreciating? It’ll be the death of economy.

productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so

Found the fellow Rust developer

Cargo build universe

The problem is that if I have bitcoin, I can’t fucking spending it as currency, now can I? I’ll hate myself tomorrow when it’s gone up 2x.

So if everyone has bitcoin, everyone HODLs, no currency changes hands and the economy just dies because nobody buys or sells anything.

The minor inflation in EUR or USD accomplishes the exact opposite: Money keeps changing hands. The rich, obviously, want to keep everything they have. But oh look, if you just hoard it, it keeps slowly losing value over time! Now these rich assholes (along with anyone else who has significant savings) have to invest their money if they want it to keep value or even appreciate in value - and when it’s invested, that means someone else can actually do something with the money.

Might very well be, look at the username.

Introducing vimux, the brand new distro nobody has any idea how to exit!

but 10 to 20 years ago, I knew plenty of liberal college-educated suburban soccer moms who believed in that shit.

And now they’re probably Trump voters.

It’s the crunchy to alt right pipeline and unfortunately it’s real.

Wait, do people shut down their computers when they’re done using them?

I know I did on the desktop PC we had at home when I was a kid… But now the desktop doubles as a homeserver (and does that more than it does gaming lately) and the laptop just goes to sleep rather than shutting it down.

Great source of protein though. Just need to be more careful and creative

£20 should still get you a meal of some kind until the credit cards and cash machines are back, hopefully within a few hours or next day at the latest.

Can’t really say I even have that much on me most of the time though - perhaps I should change that, keep a minimum of like €50 that’s only touched in an emergency or something. Swedbank has had several outages in the last few months here in Estonia and it affects many stores’ payment terminals too.

Hmm, but did they say the last version of Windows, or the last version of Windows you’re going to buy? And if it’s the latter, is the upgrade to Windows 11 free? If yes, then technically it’s still correct.

I think were sounds better in 2nd person personally, if you use was it just sounds like you’re trying to imitate slang
