Gee, maybe you should have spent more time improving the lot of everyday people and less time playing footsie with billionaires?

A lot of neoliberal erstwhile-progressives are about to find out the consequences of selling out their principles for a seat at the rich kids’ table.

Most of Europe’s already found this out, Biden and Trudeau are looking at the same thing, and I expect Starmer will be out on his ass after four years of failing to help the poor and middle class, as he’s so busy right now assuring everyone that he’s not a socialist like Corbyn.

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

To be fair, that’s a British style of writing. It’s a loaded word in North American journalism, but neutral in the UK.

I won’t say I didn’t have a bit of schadenfreude when Fort McMurray burned.

I agree, but to some degree, people own their government, and this government is, more than many, responsible for much of the causes of climate change.

I’d say the same thing if Florida sinks into the sea, or South Texas and Louisiana are swamped, or north Alberta catches fire.

Apropos of nothing, Saudi Arabia is the definition of a petro-state.

Chickens. Coming home. Roosting. Etc.

In seriousness, this chart doesn’t reflect self-medication.

When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?

HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.

More like seventy five cents, given Google’s profit margins.

Pirate an old, pre-CC version.

That’s what I do. Admittedly it’s Photoshop 3.0 on a Mac Quadra.

Because the political left got enamoured with corporate cash and forgot that they’re ostensibly a labour party. The spent the post-Soviet era indulging on third-way neoliberalism.

Heck, several of them are more actively hostile to actual leftist economics. Labour in the UK fought its own voters and threw elections over Corbyn, the Democratic Party in the US hates the Sanders wing more than it hates Republicans and the Canadian NDP voted for a fundraiser instead of actual lefties.

And in doing all this, they ceded working class politics to protofacists.

The populist right is quite happy to talk about “kitchen-table” issues.

The problem is that they usually don’t offer real solutions, preferring to says stuff like “immigrants are going to steal your kitchen table, and only I can stop them! Vote for me! Ein Reich Ein volk Ein gott!”

They might truly only care about corporations, but they lie very well.

As a Marathon fan since 1994, the plans for the new Marathon make me sad.

Do more for the poor.

It’s really that simple. Do more for more people, and less for corporations. Deliver results.

That’s why the Right is eating everyone’s lunch: they’re promising they’ll make things better. They’re lying, of course, and their path to making things better is just basic scapegoating of out- groups, but at least they’re speaking to people’s insecurities, where the neoliberal left is clinking glasses with billionaires.

Original, non-bot, not-JPEG’ed-to-hell version here:

Because dying for GDP is the only thing that matters.

He’s also a right-wing douchebag, if that helps.

Do they have tiki torches? Are they talking about replacing Arabs?

Because holy shit do these people not have any sense of self awareness.

There’s one notice, and it’s in the System Settings app. And it’s a little red dot beside the iCloud section. That’s not really the same league as what Microsoft is doing, or Even Google’s nag to use Chrome across all their Web properties.

You’re right about the first-party apps that you can’t remove, but it’s also not the same as, eg, Edge where those apps are used constantly and your preferences are reset on every update.

On my Mac I set my browser to Firefox in 2018. It’s never reverted to Safari, not once, where Windows really wants me to use Edge and goes so far as to not just reset it periodically, but also direct start menu searches and in-app web links to an ms-edge: url instead of using the http handler.

Apple has problems, but this isn’t one of them.

Microsoft would like to introduce you to EntraID.

That’s the enterprise version of this.
