“Kyle, every boy pays for kisses. Do you know what I am saying? If you got a girl and she kisses you, sooner or later you’re paying for it. You gotta take her out to lunch, take her to a movie, and then spend time listening to all her stupid problems. Look, look at Stan right there. He’s got to sit there and listen to all her stupid motherf___ing problems 'cause she kisses him. If you ask me, that’s a lot more than the $5 my company charges.”

Last I checked the source of the winget package was github, which is the same on the official website. So I would imagine that updating via Winget is just as vulnerable. The details are super vague.

Edit: Somebody else commented that it was only auto-update that was compromised, and winget would be considered a manual update because it download from their github. So I think winget may be safe.

Dont quote me on that though, the information is still super vague and I am going off of somebody else’s comment.

So less state rights? And more big government? The cornerstone of the Republican party?

Smart Launcher gang checking in. I am also a Nova Launcher refugee, and I found that Smart Launcher had similar features and ease of use.

I’m not saying it’s a valid excuse, and I’m certainly not jumping to defend Microsoft. All I’m saying is the screenshot/post is misleading.

My guess? Because they fired a shitload of engineers and are having the remaining ones pick up the slack with AI vibe coding. They are pushing slop to prod and breaking shit left and right because they need to prove that destroying the world with AI data centers is worth it.

Spoiler altert: it’s not. Having well trained and talented engineers wite the code works better.

Completely agree, but I think with Goode and Pretti it gave our team a good hand to play. Like, “hey, all you All Lives Matter people. Where ya at?” and with Pretti specifically, it’s like “Hey, all you 2A folk. Where the fuck ya at?”

I’ve been outraged and outspoken since the beginning, but these two incidents are really heavy hitting cards to play in order to expose hypocritical fascists. Not that it actually matters because these people are brainwashed mental gymists. But I like to think it at least puts cracks in their foundation. It’s caused some amount of infighting, so that’s a step in the right direction.

Rufus for making the USB, and then Immediately Chris Titus Win Util it to clean up the rest of the trash.

Yes, yes… Just use Linux. I know. But my career is Windows based so driving it at home keeps me dialed in.

I love to shit on Microsoft as much as the next lemming, but this error message is way out of context. This was a bug in the January quality update (quality lol), and has been addressed.

Windows doesn’t require you to sign into the MS store to use notepad or paint.

Interesting. There’s also no penguins in the arctic. But there are penguins in Antarctica. I wonder if the was penguins in the north originally, but the bears ate them all. And the only reason the continue to exist in Antarctica is because there aren’t bears to eat them.

No, they will shoot the person that tries to help them up.

“Maybe if we just rename ourselves to Meta, people will forget all of the horrible things we did”

This literally changes nothing.

Real curious about what kind of mental gymnastics the Rittenhouse defenders are doing.

Oh for sure, completely agree with all of that, but there is a point of diminishing returns. Like you definitely need functional equipment. And it’s nice to have nicer equipment. But buying yet another guitar doesn’t make you better at the guitar, and you can probably get better by practicing more often with what you have.

Don’t get me started on music software. I could spend $10,000 a week on plugins that I would never use because they all look so awesome.

Sequencing on something like LSDJ is great because you are locked into this tiny little ecosystem and you have to get creative.

If corporations are people, they should be able to be given the death sentance. I can think of a few that are directly responsible for the deaths of a lot of people, and all they had to do was pay some fines/lawsuits. DuPont comes to mind.

I’ve been using Nova launcher for just as long, and finally got off of it in November. First it was no updates, then whispers of ad injections, and now the ads are actually here.

With that said, I tried Lawnchair, and found it to be clunky, unintuitive, and either lacking the features that I wanted or I couldn’t find them.

I ended up going with Smart Launcher, which has been a fantastic replacement. It’s got everything that Nova Launcher has and more, and it’s very easy to use.

Isn’t Frank Rizzo also one of the monikers used by “The Jerky Boys”? The prank calling group from the 90’s that used to make tapes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jerky_Boys

Yup…

Frank Rizzo – an extremely abrasive, foul-mouthed blue-collar Italian-American New Yorker with bizarre complaints and requests (voiced by Johnny Brennan). Frank curses repeatedly at a potential employer during an inquiry about a job, and accuses the Mickey Mouse character at Disney World of being sexually inappropriate with his children.

I’m not trying to start an argument with a stranger over the internet about what is acceptable and what isn’t, but I draw the line here.

I’m not entirely sure where you got this picture, or how, but what I do behind closed doors is none of your business. I am going to have to take something up with the folks over at www.animalsintheflesh.com because clearly my data has been compromised. How else would somebody I’ve never interacted with before get a picture of the custom order silicone sleeve that I purchased? You internet freaks need to crawl back into your caves and leave us self respecting people to our own personal lives.

“read the sidebar” is not a great solution when I’m using Connect for Lemmy from my phone, and there is no sidebar.

I suppose you’re right about people knowing The Onion is fake because of its popularity. But saying people are losing their sense of edgy satire might be a sign of how crazy things are these days. Like with what is happening in the world right now, a headline and article like this is absolutely plausable. Ice agent kills Good. Nintendo sues Bowser for piracy… Half of the real shit happening out there headlines like an onion article. There’s a whole “NotTheOnion” community based on this.

Like I said, I like the creativity. I read the whole article and enjoyed it. But I hate the idea that I need to fact check every little thing that I read, especially in a community that prides themselves on separating from mainstream news media garbage.

Yeah this needs to be flagged as satire or something. Like… I love TheOnion, but I also know TheOnion is fake. I appreciate the creativity, but you can’t just post it as is. If I didn’t stop and visit the comments section, it would have gotten me.
