I’ve been on the internet since like 1992 and I’ve never once capitalized it, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it capitalized. shrug

I’m not all that keen on Samsung myself, but the ‘and shit’ here is a stand-in for the other makers of android phones for the US market. I’m sure google would be happy to supply a list, but I can’t be fucked to go find it.

The front line is everywhere, there be no shelter here.

You probably should’ve led with the fact that this is Chinese phones, not like Samsung and shit.

TIL Slashdot is still around… haven’t been on that site since the early 2000s.

Oh no doubt, but the reduction in taxes and regulation will benefit all of them.

No, DOGE is about dismantling/looting the parts of government that are capable of regulating and taxing oligarchs in the name of ‘saving money.’ If they somehow do actually save any money (and with the recent removal of most of their ‘successes’ from the website even that is heavily debatable) it will just go into more tax breaks for the rich.

Data harvesting is just part of the looting, but it’s gravy, not the main course.

I’ve heard that too, but I saw the original commercials and remember it as ‘you wouldn’t steal a car’.

If I could steal a car by downloading it over the internet without depriving the original owner of it and with similarly low risk of getting caught/prosecuted for it I would absolutely steal a car. I wouldn’t steal a font tho, that’s just beyond the pale. :P

That’s kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was ‘ramen + autism = good!’

That’s not a can’t, it’s a get-paid-a-shitload-of-money-to-not.

Right? ‘ZOMG users aren’t viewing the contents of their friends!’, yeah, because you hide that shit behind ads and promoted content, dumb-ass.

May I be the first to say…

Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.

No shit? I’ve been using Greenshot for screenshots for a while (stupid Foxhole closing tooltips whenever I hit shift for the snip tool hotkey) but had no idea it did anything more than that. I’ll take a look, thanks!

Huh. I barely used it when I was on linux, so… shrug

Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

All I use paint for is like drawing red underlines under text in screen grabs and shit like that. The most ‘pro’ feature I ever use is when I sometimes misclick the rounded rectangle tool instead of the rectangle tool and I’m too lazy to fix it. I’ll give that a shot tho, thanks.

Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?

Sure, and I haven’t used a telco in ~20 years unless you count cell carriers. But yeah I’m by no means saying bigger companies are necessarily better about this, as I said, just that this is a curious counter-example to your earlier claim that breaking up the telco monopoly didn’t lead to nobody building telecom infrastructure.
