How do you screw up an OS this badly? My laptop just forced the upgrade to 11 and now my flight simulators crash constantly and Firefox won't even load.
Well done, everyone.
You remain the best advertisement Linux has ever had.

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.

Important note - it's not about how fast you respond to things, it's about who you target.
Fair and equitable enforcement that is just slow would get a different response from your users.

Right now, we’re a small team with a growing backlog. The slower we get, the more people wonder why decisions aren’t being made in real time — but with human review and millions of posts, that’s simply not possible. 3/9

O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

Still trying to process how, no matter how stupid or insane or cruel the order, there is always a person that will carry it out.

Journalists: Here's a thought. Start reporting the cost of things in terms of multiples of how much it would take to end world hunger. Call the unit the "World Hunger" (WH).
A couple years back we learned that this would cost somewhere around $6bn if I remember correctly.
$12bn is 2 WH's, etc.

I just misread someone's job title of "Solutions Consultant" as "Solutions Insultant" and I think I may have just unlocked a new career choice.
"Here's my solution."
"Yeah, well it sucks. Try again."
