From my post elsewhere on this topic:

Yet another in my ongoing series of headlines about how messed up Microsoft and tech in general is by using just Notepad as an example.

Why Notepad? Because it was supposed to be the most basic built in text editor for the Windows environment. They thing that would always work. The thing that would do exactly what it was supposed to no matter what.

They have messed it up so bad that it’s now an attack vector.

It’s the prime example of how they keep taking things that work and make them worse.

I’m not arguing for trickle down. I’m using their own arguments against them.

I used to debug POP3 issues by going through sessions one line at a time via telnet. Occasionally HTTP sessions too.

A company with $130 billion in cash reserves is floating 100 year bonds.

So much for billionaires reinvesting profits to trickle down in the economy. Now they hold onto profits, calling in suckers to bet for them and not promising results until all of them are dead.

The cheesiest.

That was definitely part of the vibe I was going for. 2E would have been over the top for the goal.

As a two decade veteran of call centers I have had this happen to me.

She’s going to take my lunch money. Right after I give it to her willingly.

You captured a lot of personality in this piece.

Best video of the year. On any channel.

I’ve been wasting my time knitting Cthulhus? I could have been knitting aliens?

I work with a lot of feral kittens. When I see a firm belly we start treating for worms immediately.

I’m kinda mixed on this. Girl boss flex but also a complete grab at more power.

This desperately needs a chart representing the relative strength of different magnet materials so that we can see where this is on the spectrum.

I miss it. SLRN and proper score file made it the best information tool on the internet back in the day.

It is impossible to convince a stupid person that you aren’t stupid. It’s built into being stupid and a key difference between stupid and ignorant.

That’s what Usenet was.

All demonstrations in support of an existing government are always peaceful. The government doesn’t provoke them into violence.

This would be better if it showed that some non-google search engines are ready just modified google search.

I use DDG so I’m doing my part to reduce Google search traffic. Even though that increasing Bing traffic.

Well at least they have that going for them. Which is nice.
