These people...
  • When WSL first came out, all the documentation i read from Microsoft led me to believe it was intended to help developers who are cross-developing software for both Linux and Windows to more easily test features and compatibility and to ensure software behaves consistently. It never seemed like they intended it to be used to run Linux programs fully and integrate into the Windows environment. It always seemed like it was just there for convenience so a smaller budget developer could develop on one machine and not need to be constantly rebooting or running VMs.

  • These people...
  • So, wait, you are claiming that a Windows update broke your hardware so bad you had to reinstall the firmware, but it magically worked on a linux distro? First of all, that means it wasn't "permanently stopped [from] working". Second, I hate to break it to you, but it sounds like Windows might have fucked up a setting, and then you user-errored your way into breaking things. I've never had something break that can't be fixed with a full system restore or reinstall, and it sounds like you had a problem just like that. If it worked on Linux, you could have gotten it working on Windows, too, because it's clearly a software error at that point.

  • Borders
  • I don't think it would have that effect at all... abolishing all nations and states would mean the massively wealthy corporations that are wealthier than most nations and states would become the de facto super powers of the world. Governments are the only thing keeping the likes of Meta, Google, Apple, nVidia, etc. From having private militaries and literally taking over the world. If you want to abolish all nations and states, you need to gut capitalism first and make sure these corporations can't just become the new and far worse government.

  • "People today recognise fewer than 10 plants, but over 1000 corporate logos"
  • I think it would be possible to reach this conclusion. Using shorter surveys, like Google opinion surveys or something, asking people if they recognize 2-3 logos at a time, run a few hundred of those surveys over a few years and you could categorize each logo based on % of participants who recognized, anything over like 66% could be considered "generally recognizable" and then count how many generally recognizable logos you had.

    Disney told L.A. residents to move to Florida for a planned campus. They did, it was canceled and now they're suing
  • My parents and brother just moved from Oregon to Florida... like wtf. At least they have something there for them, uncles who own houses and business there giving them a place to stay and a steady job there. My brother was unemployed and looking to move anyway, but Florida? I'm just hoping they treat it as a stepping stone to getting back on their feet and then move to like Georgia or somewhere else nearby

  • Thanks management
  • lmao I'm guessing someone who doesn't speak Spanish was told "we are out of ice, make a sign that says 'No ice, no hielo, thanks, management' and put it on the soda machine" and they just rolled with it phonetically

  • Mothers know that this is a wholesome combination.
  • Calpis isn't carbonated tho, at least none of the Calpico branded stuff I've had. Milkis is very similar and is carbonated, so it would probably be closer to this. Personally I like both Calpico and Milkis, they are definitely not my favorite but they are good to have every once in a while, owing especially to their unique taste.

  • I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
  • I never said this was a bad value, but I think we all know that these prices will not remain. They will increase because people will pay it once they are locked in. And if someone buys a used car, they have to pay that subscription to get these features, ensuring the manufacturer gets a slice from used sales. I can understand the cost, but it sets a dangerous precedent. It should be one time fee that grants the VIN access to the severs permanently. What would be really nice is if we had legislation that requires companies with a certain amount of revenue to maintain services for older products so they can't just pull the plug later anyways.

  • I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
  • I can understand some of these features requiring a $5/month subscription. Anything more than that is absolutely insane. With roadside assistance (depending on what that actually entails) I could see that sevice being bumped to $15-$20 a month,

  • Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?
  • Whenever I see a checkbox or something that just says "Check here to confirm you accept our privacy policy" I think it's funny because all I am legally agreeing to are the words actually in front of me. Sure, I agree with the standalone words "our privacy policy". I'm not sure what that does for you, but i guess "our privacy policy" is an acceptable string of words.

  • My bank gives me the option to opt out of marketing communications. It takes three clicks to opt out of each category, and there are three pages like this!
  • No? It's literally not a thing on any android. I just pretty extensively looked for any evidence of this online and I can only see people misunderstanding the feature of removing permissions for unused apps. One of the permissions apps are granted is storage, and that permission can get revoked if that feature is turned on. This does not delete stored data (it does not remove data the app has already written) but removes the apps ability to read or write to storage further, and can cause any temporary storage like cache to get erased. This will cause your accounts to get signed out and could potentially lead to data loss, but not because the operating system is actively and purposefully erasing data.

  • I'm honestly not sure what they are talking about, I'm on Android 14 on my s23 and that isn't a feature, nor has it ever been on any android phone I've ever had or seen. There is an option to remove permissions for apps that have not been used, but not to delete all storage for an app after an amount of time.

  • [Bug] Linked text in comments does not wrap, making comments unreadable

    In the comment pictured the first line is text with a hyperlink markup. The line does not wrap to fit the screen, so half of the text of that line is not visible unless I select the three dot menu, copy, and select text.

    I also noticed that I cannot click on the link at all, it only expands the options for the comment.
