Same, and besides the crap that Windows comes with (that thankfully my work’s group policies disable most of it) they took away my top taskbar. A feature in Windows for as long as I can remember and IMO looked clean and was more functional was taken away by Win 11.
Thankfully at home I can take solace in my Linux and MacOS enviroments. Wish my job would let me just run Debian or Fedora/Red Hat for work. Everything is a web application anyways.
God I hate gambling and casinos with a passion. And since I live and work near casinos I have to deal with coworkers either bragging about how much they pissed away that weekend or getting invited to go piss away money at these predatory businesses.
To be honest, if I didn’t live in Amerikkka and instead somewhere where Ladas were common I’d do it. Aesthetic, simple, cheap, and no built in capitalist spyware.
“Who pays for the guns? The ammo? Pennington says guardians can use the stipend to buy firearms.”
What are they going to be using? Hi Point or some cheap .22 hunting rifle? $500 ain’t alot for firearms. I mean, it’s an horrible idea that either places dangerous armed facists in schools or provides more cranking pressure on schools.
In some places in America they still count if they were ‘unexcused’ (ie no doctors note, even if your kid was sick) and parents taken to truancy court. I remember some friends growing up that had to fight that because they didn’t have the money to see the doctor over every sick day.
I used them during covid, not specifically to avoid the virus (because I know it just passes the risk along), but because I was in the beginning of my transition in an unfriendly state so did not want to undo all of my work to boymode and at the time I was more financially stable so I could afford it. Always tipped well too.
For the average situation it doesn’t make alot of sense.
Also Capitalism trying to shoehorn AI into every product possible. Why does my work software need an AI built in? It won’t help us employees or the company, what would help is to fuck off with the ‘do more with less’ and pay us more. But no, someone somewhere got paid to add a worthless implementation of AI to our software.
The finish on these cybertrucks are so bad. Looks worse than the paint on a 20yo Civic that spent it’s life in Arizona…
