The only time I’ve been prompted to enter a PIN is when using the same card as a debit card vs a credit card.

Even though the you already have to use the PIN at an ATM.

No idea why there’s such a big functional difference between “credit” and “debit” cards.

That makes it worse! Clearly they did not get it right the first time around, or there wouldn’t be any reason to tweak and replace it all constantly.

Ah yes. Perfection:

Or maybe:

No? maybe this.

Edit I missed windows XP

No shakeups at all, it’s like a rock.

Perfectly reliable and unchanged from the beginning.

Edit since folks choose to distinguish “Settings” from “Control Panel” as if that doesn’t make the point even stronger. I’ll admit that it’s been pretty consistent since Windows 7. Still very different than the first iteration.

Not a fan of that rage-bait head-line.

Big difference between n - - - - and n - - - - -.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

The meme template suggests that the press is offended that Biden is attracted to MAGA and MAGA’s insane rhetoric while saying “garbage!”?

I … don’t think this makes any sense with the meme template at all. Or I don’t understand what this is trying to say.

You can but it bothers me that it exists, shitting on everything.

Well, this changes things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Probably because trying to fight the bullshit ends up costing more in the long run.

Well ya can but you’re taking some risks if you do. Your soap dispenser might not work worth a shit if you haven’t tested it.

So … if I tag [email protected] I should be able to see it?

Edit: nope. Unless I have the syntax wrong somehow.

tends to be extremely hostile to any sort of monitization

This is a good thing, seeing as how monetization has ruined other things, the web and newspapers in particular.

Authoritarian communists, especially those not native to such a state.

Currently it’s mainly the folks who believe China in particular can do no wrong. Historically it refers to supporters of the USSR in Britain

Specifically, it was used to distinguish [CPGB] party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

More recently it’s applied online especially to people who are knee-jerk anti-capitalist or anti-US, “if the US/‘west’/capitalism is wrong then anyone who opposes them must be right”

More generally, a tankie is someone who tends to support “militant opposition to capitalism”, and a more modern online variation, which means “something like ‘a self-proclaimed communist who indulges in conspiracy theories and whose rhetoric is largely performative.’”

Lemmynsfw does pretty well. It’s a shame that the main instances don’t federate with the porn instances, but it does nicely prevent either from overwhelming the other.

I hate it because it shows up everywhere and adds nothing of value while displaying busy formatted text. If it lately shows even less meaningful content, that barely seems possible.

I’d rather not. Not sure if you can view the mod log for other people’s accounts, but if so it’s easy to spot from mine.

I’ll say that I have some sympathy because dealing with internet randos is painful soul-sucking work and it’s easy to default to the ban-hammer, but…
