You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

Reached for comment, Donald Trump said “see, why can’t I do that?!”

Trump’s greatest accomplishment, surpassing the DuoLingo owl in being the most annoying thing to make me want to learn Spanish. Pendejo.

Is this a midwest thing? It feels like a midwest thing.

for the next 4 years.

If we’re lucky.

Never in modern history has a president meddled this much with local issues…he’s out here screwing up our light rail, NYC’s congestion pricing, and making states with 0-1 transgendered athletes pass anti-trans laws. I’m just waiting for him to realize Los Angeles is a Spanish name and insist we start calling it Surftown, USA or some shit.

Texas is a joke, but not a good one.

No, but they can remain solvent longer than you can survive on the streets.

And that’s how they get you.

What makes them (it?) good?

And its working 😬

Jeff Bezos can afford to do this because of Amazon.

Boycott Amazon.

This was an incredible read. All the liberal media lamenting the loss of USAID, but an estimated 90% of the funds were actually used to further CIA goals. Crazy. 10/10 would read again.

We live in such a post-satire world now, this felt totally realistic. Got me too for a second.

Installed Bazzite this weekend, most the games I’ve tested run fine and the OS is quite pretty. Microsoft forcing everyone to Spware OS after Steam released several versions or Proton are the one-two punch that will help tons of people move to Linux. 🐧

I’m on day 16 of being sick. This flu SUCKS.

Lootbox gambling is a cancer…extra cancer points for aiming it at kids…and wow, that revenue split is insane, no wonder Roblox is such a rich, publicly traded company. Sigh.

Yes. Private equity ruins everything it touches.
