Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?
They’re called “lies.”

LibreOffice is an an amazing replacement for the MS-Office suite.
LibreOffice Irfanview
Another vote for Brother . I have a black & white laser printer (mfc-L2675). And I can get a 3-pack of toner off Amazon for around $20.
“Shoah.” I couldn’t make it through all 9 hours.
An electric turkey-carving knife, made in 1962. GE built it to last.
He’s currently the Chairman and owner of Fox News. He’s been the chairman and CEO of 20th Century Fox and News Corp going all the way back to 1980.
I would rather have one wish granted and live just long enough to see it happen.
“Trickle-down economics.” They’re literally saying, “we’re pissing on you.”
They also love to say, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Unless, of course, you don’t have a boat and we know what happens to them. How well the stock market is doing means literally fark-all to most of us.
Also known as “prosperity gospel.” The religious justification for obscene wealth. The basic idea is that if you are rich, it’s because God has chosen you to BE rich because you are morally superior to everyone else. It’s an absolute perversion of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament.
News ownership has consolidated over the last 40 years from around 40 companies in the 1980s to 6 today. This is that “liberal news media” conservatives keep yammering on about. The one that’s owned by 6 corporations.
The purpose of modern journalism is to suck up to the billionaire class, and to keep the lower classes scared, poor and stupid, so they don’t find out where the REAL source of their pain comes from.
Right now, the choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. It’s not that hard a choice.
I buy microfiber cloths, instead of paper towels because 1) you can launder and re-use microfiber clothes and 2) paper products are stupid-expensive.
A kid showed up last night, wearing a cardboard box on his head, with a single green led light in it. I have no idea what he was supposed to be. (A security camera? Gort from “Day the Earth Stood Still?”) He got candy though. It’s the effort that counts.
Youtube (like Reddit) has forgotten that they only exist in the first place because of the uploads of their users. They produce no content themselves. They need us a LOT more than we need them.
As long as you’re wearing a costume, I don’t care how old you are. You’ll get a treat.
I like the 8 Bit Guy, for any news about legacy computers.
Yup. This won’t be used just to serve up unblocksble ads. If you’re signed in to Google, this DRM will be used to track you, as well. VPNs will be useless because the tracking won’t be done through your IP address, but through your browser, identified by DRM and tied to your Google account.
That’s what this is really about. Knowing who you are, where you are, where you go, what you see, what you buy, who you associate with. Forcing you to watch ads is just the icing on the cake.
Republicans and Democrats have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, Democrats are where the Republicans were in the 1980s: boring, middle of the road corporatists, friends of banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies. And the right has moved all the way into an insane asylum. We haven’t had a real progressive president since Jimmy Carter and that was 50 years ago.
