I am incredulous as to the results of this study, but wanted to hear Lemmy's take.

Wow, The comments here are an absolute shitshow.

Be as upset as you want with Obama or Biden. But remember, neither of them are on the table for this next election cycle.

It's still identifiably distinct, I really hope Nintendo lose because allowing copyright of a concecpt is dystopian especially in the context of our lengthy time frames for copyright.

It reminds me of when Apple wanted to patent the idea of rounded corners.

I know we're all pretty mad at Intel right now but I really hope they do manage to recover because we've all seen what happens to the industry when there's no competition.

The four multinational corporations I worked at were almost entirely Windows servers with the exception of vendor specific stuff running Linux. Companies REALLY want that support clause in their infrastructure agreement.

Private industry handling a public utility is never a good idea, see: Texas power grid

internet should be treated like water and power and handled by the city.

Fucking hate capitalism's need for infinite growth, flat sales means you're doing exactly the same as you were doing last year, if it was sustainable last year it's sustainable this year

Especially for a company that is little more than a platform

Biden has been doing a lot of good work. I wasn't a fan when he ordered the rail workers back to work but since then be has increased the cost of carbon in negotiations, canceled the debt he was able to without the Senate and proposed relaxing drug restrictions on cannabis.

He isn't perfect but it's more good news than I got through 2016-2020 and he's doing it while getting stonewalled on every decision by a Republican controlled Congress.

I mean Mac OS has its place. There's a reason so many music producers and coders choose that OS. It's a rock solid stable approach for those use cases.

That being said, personally I would always prefer Linux but that's mostly because I don't do those things.

I don't even particularly hate windows, I just like PopOS better

As trade with North America and China degraded that was one of the worst casualties.

China has a booming market for small EVs. It is not an understatement to say they are years ahead of us in that regard.

What is it North America? Because you said I'm not allowed to have public transit and now I'm not even allowed to have the type of car I want.

Oh boy do I love freedom.

Touch screens in cars.

When I'm driving I need a tactile immediate response that is easy to understand without looking at it.

Touch screens are for controls that change so you can take advantage of the dynamic nature of a screen for the static needs of a car and the immediate feedback you need, make them the worst possible solution.
