Without regulation, this will continue, and get worse. Remember to vote in every election you can, both local, and national.

29·7 дней назадThis is Microsoft BOB
Here’s a good demo video without any talking or people mugging for the camera, just the interface: https://youtu.be/VrsIsf8PQJY
Microsoft Bob was a Microsoft software product intended to provide a more user-friendly interface for the Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems, supplanting the Windows Program Manager. The program was released on March 10, 1995, and discontinued in early 1996.
I don’t buy green olives or macadamia nuts anymore.
If I have a whole jar of green olives, I eat a whole jar of green olives, one after the other. Same for the nuts.

I drink instant because, well, it’s instant, and I can’t tell that one is better or worse than the other.
Coffee, cigars, chocolate, wine, cheese, etc. All these things people obsess over and judge; they all seem equal to me. Not better or worse, just different.
Honestly, I feel bad throwing them away. I have a collection of about 30 of them because I feel like I should be able to find a use for them, or at lease someone should. I stopped saving them.
That’s the joke.

201·8 дней назадOur banks could front the money to us with virtually zero risk, because the funds are coming back through the system from other banks. They just want to keep it on the books as long as is legal to earn interest.
If you want to change this, you need to vote for people who are not in bed with the banks. That means no incumbents, and especially no Republican incumbents. No, not all politicians are corrupt, but nearly all of them are, term limits for Congress would help mitigate this, certainly better than no term limits.

News@lemmy.world•BASE jumper fatally plunges 700 feet after wingsuit failure in UtahEnglish
14·8 дней назад“On today’s jump, something went wrong and he did not have enough lift with his wingsuit,” Peck said. “He impacted the ground at a high rate of speed resulting in his death.”
When I flew RC gliders, we flew off cliffs because the wind hits the cliff and shoots straight up, letting the glider just float around in the updraft. It’s called “ridge lift”.
Maybe the wind died at just the wrong moment?
I realize wing suits don’t fly the way gliders fly. But, I suspect they need ridge lift when they first jump off to get started.
Just a guess.

Which, had they been left in place, would have been replaced by PV panels when the tech became viable. And, there would have been another photo op.
Obviously, this was meant to illustrate the position of the administration on this subject. The same way removing them illustrates the Republican position.
Remember when Bush said he didn’t like broccoli? Like it or not, our politicians are influences, some would say the OG influences.

News@lemmy.world•Walmart says it's not using personal information to set prices as it expands digital shelf labelsEnglish
11·8 дней назадI see this means they can change the prices in the store as quickly and easily as they do online. And, they don’t need to pay people to change the paper tags.
But, you’re not forced to log in before you can see the prices online, meaning they aren’t changing the price based on who is logged in, and I sincerely doubt they’d change prices on the shelves while the store is open, where shoppers could pick an item, and then the price is higher when they get to the check out.
It makes it easier for them to change prices, but the shoppers still can choose not to buy the product at the price offered.
Our focus should be on demanding higher wages, and more rights, through unionizing and voting. We can complain about this, too, but I doubt trying to pass some law against digital shelf signs will make much difference for us. I’m certainly not against it, I just don’t think it will help much at all.
Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, I’m not very smart.
