Funny, conservatives would absolutely include telling parents how to raise their kids in the definition of a Nanny State.

So you do want a nanny state.

But what about those Parental Responsibilities you were talking about earlier? Are you saying we now need extra social safety nets for kids who don’t fit the mold and get bullied? Extra places for them to learn and play under supervision? Because I don’t think that’s going to be economical without boarding them there, away from their parents.

What? No! They can have their own age appropriate place to learn and play under supervision.

You’ve accounted only for the API pricing. They already charge 7-20 USD per month. So their prices are going to jump to 19.50-32.50 USD a month.

That’s not feasible.

A social safety net you say… like a place we could gather all the children to teach them things and let them play under supervision?

That would require us paying one parent enough to cover the other parent being a child care expert. But nobody gets to profit off of that so fuck society, everybody works, and nobody gets community goods except the wealthy.

Big Essential Oil ruining the day again.

Multiplayer gaming. I love games like Foxhole and they usually have a bit of trouble on Linux.

Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now… Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn’t qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Uh, if they didn’t ask for it, how is Microsoft going to make them pay for it?

More like most of us don’t care to read past the headline.

Hot take, common words should not be patentable.

Thank you, I saw Forbes and was immediately suspicious of click bait.

I love how the problem isn’t the people being hurt by monopolistic behavior, but other companies.

We really are fucked.

Uhh, nobody famous?

The event wasn’t similar to other events. Other events didn’t have a high chance of pissing off major clients. I feel like we need daily Public Service Announcements, “Your employer does not care about you, they only care about your effect on their profits.”

Over and over again we see this lesson. And while I applaud anyone willing to risk their job to protest their employer’s clients, I’m not going to act surprised when they get fired.

That era started in the 1700’s Adam Smith ranted about a lack of accountability in corporations.

Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, “oh no, I guess we can’t have Roblox anymore!”

The idea that locking phones is good for customers is a great example.
