It's like a graveyard of companies that Microsoft has acquired over the years. Sharing files is one brand name (Sharepoint if i recall), making video calls is another name, planned events is another - every function has a brand name to it, which made me feel like these were the last remaining trace of long-absorbed companies.

But that's just my recollection, i haven't touched Teams since Covid

The owner of my laundromat claims that it's cheaper to do your laundry there than at home. At first i thought "of course a laundromat owner would say that", but then he argued that his machines are more efficient than the ones we buy and that they are collectively heated.

I still think he's fulll of shit because he only argued about energy costs, not including his rent taxes or profit; but it did get me thinking that it would be cheaper and more efficient to wash our clothes collectively.

I've never really been able to leave my zits alone, if i see one and don't pop it i can't stop thinking about it. So yeah i've been popping my zits into napkins since always and it's kinda fine, it wouldn' be fine if i got more though.

That's my skincare routine in its entirety.

I think so too, but like i said there's only so many computers that you can find a use for.

I think. That wasn't a challenge, don't prove me wrong

Honestly, i predict people and businesses will keep using Win10 years after it's become unsafe. We've all seen the local warehouse still running Windows 7, i'm thinking that scenario but for millions of users.

That's a cybersecurity problem, but what i'm most concerned with is the e-waste problem, because there's still going to be a lot of users that do replace their PC. There aren't enough Linux users to buy all the computers that will be rendered obsolete, and there won't be by then either. I myself am a new Linux user but i'm already covered, i don't need more computers, not even for cheap.

I just really hope this doesn't end with millions of good computers landfilled or parted. The third world already buys a lot of our e-waste, so i hope they'll get a crapton of relatively good computers for cheap and run either Win10 or Linux

Staying off of social media is actually the default for billionaires, they tend to stay out of the limelight. We just happen to have a few that like the attention.

All of my media companies just say what i want on their own, the fact that i own them is on the back of their minds and makes them self-censor without me needing to say anything. I just hire a manager that i know agrees with my opinions, he then proceeds to hire journalists that agree with our opinions, and they proceed to do what looks like propaganda without anyone needing to be told to do it.

I don't tell my media companies what to report because there's no need to, and if i did then there would be a paper trail.

A goddamn dishwasher. I used to wash a lot of dishes by hand growing up so it took until my 30's before i realized that dishwashers are a wonderful invention.

These days, everything is kind of a thing. You can find people cosplaying 1920's jazz bands.

Pre-christian pagan cultures (Celts, Goths etc), but neo-nazis are also fans of those so you get to share with them.

FD Signifier is THE youtuber that i listen to on black issues, and this reminds me a lot of this video
