  • YSK that you can force Windows 10/11 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect

  • The big difference is that hacky shit in Linux almost always happens because of oversights, whereas Windows actively fights you on things you want to do. This means that a solution that worked for some forum poster 10 years ago has a pretty good chance of still working today (if it's even still necessary), whereas Microsoft would see that fix as a bug and try to "patch" it. You would never have the fuck around like this just to get your default browser to be, y'know, the default.

    Not to mention trying to troubleshoot Windows always means having to browse through a half dozen forum posts of people having your exact problem, but the only replies are some IT script that takes 3 paragraphs to tell you to reinstall whatever program, with no follow up when that inevitably doesn't work.

  • Would you mind linking your old account or some old comments? I'd love to have something substantive to show off to people who don't believe how fascist Reddit is these days

  • I'm too lazy to look it up right now but there have definitely been cheaters in Rocket League. The fact that it isn't a shooter is actually made it easy to cheat in; when there's no precedent for what cheating even looks like, how do you spot it? I remember a few years ago there was a whole scandal where it turned out someone who was famous for making trickshots had some kind of bot that was able to calculate exactly how to hit the ball midair and send it into the goal.

  • The fight against labeling long-term streaming rentals as “purchases” you “buy”

  • "Ah but you see, it's not misleading at all! You really are purchasing a temporary license to watch the content!"

    Considering how much leeway we give food companies to lie about how they label their products, I have absolutely no faith we'll correct the advertising here either

  • While the letters are adjacent, I don't think that was a typo. "Finna" is pretty common slang, just a variant of "gonna"

  • they do not have nearly enough people to demand obedience

    Depends on who's in charge of the bombs and drone swarms. I honestly think the only reason society still exists as we know it is that none of the conservatives are yet fully confident that they have complete, unquestioning control of the arsenal. We're living in an era where it really only takes a few hundred people, maybe a few thousand, to kill millions. Hundreds of millions. Billions if they start using nukes. What do they care if they take out the people who kept the weapons working? These psychos would only have to use them once and then they'd have power feudal lords and kings could only dream of.

    As horrible and inhumane as the US was during wars like Iraq and especially Vietnam, we were still constrained on some level. No matter how indiscriminately our troops were allowed to murder civilians, ultimately, indiscriminate killing wasn't the main order coming down from very top. When Vietnam finally got so unpopular that even manufactured consent wasn't cutting it for public support, we pulled out, instead of glassing the country and leaving as few survivors as possible. Again, not that Vietnam was in any way a moral war; I don't want to minimize how many firebombs we dropped on innocent people, but there was some limit. Hell, even Russia has so far limited itself in how far it'll go in trying to conquer Ukraine.

    But... I'm not sure that'll be the case for much longer if these fascists are allowed to continue to control the levers of power.

  • Luckily they're all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.

  • Honestly, those aren't that much crazier than thinking smoking and drinking are somehow good for you. If this goes on, it's only a matter of time.

  • Trump's Epstein Client List Released!

  • I dunno if he'd put Musk on there. As far as I've seen all they've done is smack talk each other, I have very little doubt that behind the scenes the world's richest man and the most corrupt man are still buddies

  • The amount of energy being spent on any basic social media services is completely dwarfed by what it takes to run generative algorithms.

    why on earth am i being downvoted? you really think the energy expenditure required to save and serve text comes anywhere near what it takes to run an LLM?

  • Yeah I remember during the campaign he said he'd never called for Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned and I was like, "ok c'mon, even his most diehard supporters can't possibly forget chanting 'lock her up' at every fucking rally. Surely now they will have to admit he lies about even obvious facts."

    Lol. Lmao.

  • Lookin' pretty dang good to me!

    Though I did just now notice that clicking on your link here opens up piefed.social in my browser instead of staying on Voyager and taking me to piefed.ca's instance of the post. I dunno if that's a formatting issue for OP or a Voyager issue
