  • Right? Having to deal with all those bots showing all the times the democrats supported Israel’s actions and refused to support Palestinians and refused to call or support any sanctions or supported BDS

    Must have been exhausting particularly since you had zero evidence to the contrary. I can see how that would be an uphill battle when facts aren’t on your side.

    You do realize your tactic here was literally the same tactic as when MAGAs call something “fake news,” right? Uncannily identical.







  • Ehh. I could think about it. But the nice thing about Opera is that all my Chrome plugins also work there since it’s based on Chromium.

    I haven’t used Firefox since the 00s after I got sick and tired of all the plugins I used in my daily work kept getting disabled every two weeks, and having to go into all of them and hack the xpi’s (or whatever) to increase the valid release versions.

    I guess they don’t do that anymore or something. It got old fast.

    Mozilla isn’t at all better than corporations at being user-centric. In fact, they’re almost worse, because they will tell you all the Very Good Reasons that This Is Better For You and if it isn’t You’re Doing Something Wrong. And just like those companies, they will ignore long standing bugs in favor of adding new bullshit.

    I used to use Thunderbird too, and had similar pain points with it, bugs that were never fixed, feature and function changes that broke routines and plugins, and eventually went off to something else. (bluemail and emclient i think)






  • The differences are

    • Wars vs wars
    • Gaza genocide vs Gaza genocide
    • Robber baron capitalism versus robber baron capitalism
    • Tax cuts for the rich versus tax cuts for the rich
    • Deregulation of media versus deregulation of media
    • Transphobia versus transphobia (seriously, do you know anything about Newsom other than funny memes?)
    • Fundamentalism versus fundamentalism
    • Inflation versus inflation
    • Increased police funding versus increased police funding
    • Shuttling military surplus equipment to police versus, yeah
    • Mass incarceration versus mass incarceration
    • Privatization versus privatization
    • Out of control healthcare costs versus out of control healthcare costs
    • No universal healthcare versus no universal healthcare

    Oh, sorry, there is one; one of them hates rainbows and the other pretends to like them. My bad



  • I worked at a place that used a Pick - D3 based ERP system for decades. They employed like the last three D3 programmers in the world (two were children of the other).

    While I was there we had a major major moonshot project to replace it with a D365 solution.

    (No, it didn’t improve anything, but it sure cost a lot and came with big ongoing costs)


  • I believe it was the 2006/7 Seattle New Years or 4th of July fireworks that had been rigged up to orchestrate by “the latest microsoft technology” and the thing refused to execute and they rebooted the machine three times before someone just gave up and went and hit the firework triggers manually. Most people are pretty sure it was a wide beta version of Vista.
