literally the theft of talent and the absence of effort.

You’ve just described 100% of the record labels.

I’d hope someone who allegedly cares so much about where the music they listen comes from would do the appropriate due diligence. Otherwise it’s just contrarianism.

You just described 64% of all human-made music.

lol if you can’t tell then it literally doesn’t matter. If your concerns are ethical, then you should be consuming only indie music from unsigned artists so, again, it literally doesn’t matter.

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks.

No, I get that. I’m asking why was it needed for the machine to serve two espressos “by mistake”. Why not just grab yourself/themselves another one?

Oh, shit, yeah, that’s different. But I meant, how does the machine thinking you were still pressing it make a difference?

Wait, how’s that different from just making yourself 2 double shots?

Sure, but nobody said to do that, so the comment is a bit irrelevant, innit?

I’m so confused. What do the cold and hot knows even do?

Equating “looking tired” with “has had 12 coffees and a soda that also has caffeine in it” is wild.

Sure, Windows has been steadily losing marketshare to mobile for years now but that has nothing to do with Windows 11 being so bad that it will destroy Microsoft. I’m not saying Windows isn’t gonna die eventually, I’m saying there’s no sudden “statistically significant” shift away from it that will impact Microsoft the wat the PS3 impacted Sony. Things are as they’ve always been and, by the look of things, they’ll continue to be that way until desktops are mostly phased out by phones.

I think the biggest complaint was trying to shove cortana and the 11 upgrade in everyone’s faces constantly

Cortana was definitely one of the complaints but 11 didn’t even exist at the time and Microsoft insisted it never would. Funnily enough, people were pissed about Microsoft shoving the upgrade to 10 in their faces. Other things people complained about were the privacy-invading “quality of life” features, forced updates, the new start menu and metro apps. They also swore on their mothers’ graves to never update to 10. It was literally the same thing that’s happening with 11. You can look up “Windows spyware” with a pre-2021 filter for a blast from the past.

You’re massively overestimating the amount of people who even know what an operating system is, let alone change it.

10…probably the last good Windows

Everybody and their mother complained about how bad and privacy invasive Windows 10 was. Hell, the most famous software to fix the privacy issues of Windows 11 is still called Shut Up 10. This backlash is nothing more than people resisting change.

lol no. As much as I would love for Microsoft to go die in a hole, nobody is moving away from Windows. Sensationalist headlines heralding the downfall of Microsoft due to Windows $CURRENT being the worst ever version of Windows have been around since the epoch of Windows itself. People are always moving in droves to Linux. People are always refusing to update to Windows $CURRENT. I’ve heard it. You’ve heard it. We’ve all heard it. And we’ll all keep hearing it until the end of times. In the meantime, corporations still depend on that one piece of software they paid for 10 years ago that only runs on Windows, and people are still buying new machines that an OEM already put the latest version of Windows on.

I just bought a handle for a set of pans with removable handles because I was 100% sure I had bought the pan and needed the handle. Now I have two panless handles.

I once had to take a test to “rule out cancer” and just ignored it for like a year. It wasn’t but damn was that stupid as fuck.

I mean, yeah, it was a tongue in check comment. Of course losing most of your body, even if it’s replaced by supercool killer robot parts is traumatic af.
