I imagine this also filters down to people not wanting to buy American things as much, too. And who would blame them?

Like, maybe someone holds off on a Nike shirt with a sports team logo they like. Or stop using Amazon, etc.

At least they can use that money they saved for checks notes powering CoPilot no one is asking for.

I just feel bad for a lot of kids because maybe their phone or tablet has the game they want but often they are playing using just the touchscreen and that interface sucks for anything that requires joystick or button controls (where the touchscreen just has vague areas with pretend joysticks and buttons).

It just does.

I get that kids get used to it, but it’s like getting used to being kicked in the nuts when you have the option of not being kicked in the nuts.

What a good country we live in when this app is the #1 app in the Social Networking category.

Every starting conversation on Bumble was like:

“Hey”

Until next week when he flops again.

Then quit your job and get one that doesn’t need to worry about stuff Microsoft doesn’t support anymore.

text-align: center

or

margin: auto

or

grid

or

flexbox

It’s really not that hard now.

Always weird how these old fuckers nowadays don’t think about the “Social” in Social Security.

CSS is useful but also the devil.

I assume they can already get your location from your phone.

Right. I’m literally missing nothing of value by not going there.

People like to think they are missing something. But they aren’t.

“But my [topic of interest] isn’t on [some other platform]!” Then be the change. Stop lurking and make it if you want to see it. That thing started off small at Reddit and Twitter, too. They just have the momentum of being around for a decade or more.

These are my main social media platforms now.

I might hit a Reddit link here or there because occasionally the information I need is posted there (that I found from a web search). But I don’t browse that site ever any more.

Deleted Twitter because of elon. Deleted Facebook after Cambridge Analytica. Never had Instagram (will never download a Meta app at this point).

If street sweepers went away, people would notice within a week or two.

If tech bros went away, we’d just enjoy not having tech bros.

It’s like that one thing: “Who would you notice is gone first, the CEO or the janitor?”

Researchers already are saying it could be made for $25.

Man, the Steam Deck bros are really insufferable, aren’t they?

Kinda the best of both worlds if you have both games, really. MK8 had a ton of “traditional” tracks and MKW has a ton of new tracks.

That’s a lotta tracks, baby!

So like funding the government, we now have to kick the can down the road for TikTok every few months instead of actually dealing with it.

This should also include identification on vehicles.

None of this unmarked pickup truck or white van bullshit.
