How many of those are developing smartphones?

I hate to be a language prescriptivist, and I fully recognise that times change, language evolves. But I can’t help but feel frustrated and disappointed that this term become the norm. Everyone has latched on to it, unaware of the connotation, I think. And now it’s here, it feels like it’ll never go away.

Incidentally, is that their new logo in the OP? It looks like the liquid-ass that Apple made.

Imagine thinking that MS had that kind of talent onboard.

even if that eventually costs me a job I mean it’s kind of a ‘damned both ways’ situation, here. Right? Lose your job if you refuse to use it, lose your job if you end up training it how to do your job.

If you want specific, I found this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1354856520938602

Can’t that cunt just replace them with AI, anyway?

Also, getting valuable assets poached by a richer company, which puts you out of business? Imagine that.

This happened to me when I signed up again to report a fraudster in my local area’s subreddit. I was instantly shaddowbanned, without any messages or warnings sent to me. I was unable to post or up/down vote. I contacted their ‘support’ over it and just got all my messages ignored, or maybe they weren’t even received.

and the dumb kids, unfortunately. I did a spot with some non-US teenagers, in a class recently. The topic was “name a person you admire and why”. Guess whose filthy name came up…

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

I think one difference it makes, to answer your question, is that unsubstantiated claims like this tend to spread, virus like. Especially when pedalled by presidents and official government agencies. Many governments handled the pandemic predictably awfully, but this false narrative can have dangerous consequences, too. I’m worried about the number of times I’ve seen ‘plandemic’ spoken about. It gives me the impression that simply through repetition the meme grew stronger. But now it’s being echoed by_official statespeople. _

Move beyond that obsession, towards what, exactly? Besides, it’s not as if this apparent laziness has stopped you getting stinking rich.

Would around 50% of Americans fall for an email scam?

what would you serve on this plate

A piece of paper with only a heading: “Insert lobby request here:”

And a footer: “Your business is important to us, thanks for supporting Democracy™”

No truth on truth social

B-b-b-b-but, both sides!

brand diversification is not the diversity that I like to see in my star treks.

Did I understand correctly that this is only going to be in the iPhone 15 pro? Because that’s a lot more expensive than a pixel, more than I’d ever spend on a phone tbh.

Does it? Have you tried it?

Yeah, I’ve noticed this too. It’s just been much easier to tell people through the steps they need to change their devices, when I know what software they’re using. Adding another variable, like the browser itself (eg. One browser just straight up doesn’t see a camera/mic as an available device), is something I can do without.

The common denominator is always MS, for me. Teams and Skype are worse than zoom, for example. But when you’re already tapped in 365, paying for another service on top is an insult to injury.
