@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org I think you're echoing the concerns of pretty much anyyone who is paying attention. It is maddening, probably deliberate, but maybe not. Large organizations end up doing stupid things almost always. Let me know if you find something else that you like.

I am super frustrated.with this steaming pile of turd software that MS calls windows 10. These auto updates always hit at the wrong time, when one is actually tring to do work, and it always breaks something. I am trying to add a pc to a domain. An update that takes 30 min to install, refuses to let me do anything until it reboots. I am an hour and a half from home and stuck $#&^%*?@ with this so the customer can get right to work in the morning with little to no interruption. It is now 5:05pm..

From Justin Shaista.

When did the desires/wants/needs of the few DOMINATE the many?

Let’s take peanut allergies.

One kid at our school had an allergy and the entire school had to stop eating peanut butter.

1 kid vs 1000 kids

Cheap and nutritious, and universally loved by children, tons of poor families were screwed. What else could they feed their kids?

Enter, a brand new line of fake nut butters that were expensive and kids hated. (Ours wouldn’t eat them at all). Parents pulling out their hair.

REPEATED announcements, notes, reminders, disciplining 1000 kids, 2000 adults, for 1 nut allergy.

If your kid is THAT allergic, he shouldn’t fucking ever leave the house. Because guess what?

The subway, buses, trains, restaurants, airplanes, the rest of society isn’t nut free.

IT’S FUCKING BULLYING.

Meanwhile 1 boy puts on a dress and 500 girls can’t pee.

When did this happen? When did the need of one person completely over take every one else’s needs?

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org I hope when people look back on the last 20 years that they are reminded of this truth:
"You get what you pay for."
So many of the evils of the day are powered by the cost of "free".
$0.01/month from every internet user could build the best software the world has ever known.

Today's #firstworldproblem : I have more grapes than I know what to do with! 😍

@dallin@librem.one I agree with you, we have been having outside services, but the weather can make things difficult/distracting. It is good that it is still possible to worship together and fellowship, however limited though it may be. Come winter, outside won't be an option. What do you think of this?

As I was telling my nephew about the importance of campfire safety, I was reminded of my neighbor/co-worker's home that had a grassfire a couple of years ago. They are about 6 miles away! I think they left a vehicle idling over some tall grass.

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org "Also, I'm a linguist and speak about a dozen languages in various dialects from around the galaxy and I have no idea how to pronounce your kid's name."

@Daintress I'm a bit late, but welcome! It takes a lot of effort finding people to follow on the Fediverse, but it's worth it. How did you learn about it/decide to try it?

@Gina Once they work out all of the bugs, there are sooo many applications for this tech. I geek out on this stuff. If they ever get around to putting it in place will you get a photo for all of us?

@Gina Hey, have you ever seen this thing? Been following them for a few years and would love to see it in person.

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org Well, as an Egyptologist at the forefront of his field, he holds at least as much credibility as the late night History Channel gurus. He would say, "There is no debating the fact that humans built the pyramids; however, aliens did use them to land their motherships. Get your facts straight Elon."

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org Pretty sure he was joking and a tour would be awesome.
