My TV controller has a dedicated Netflix button. Around 2 months ago I sat on it and it started playing a movie. Turns out "meh, it seems about right" is not a good way to check your credit card statements.

I don't know if MAGA specifically, but it's always been far right so...

Depends on what is meant by "free gravel", though. Given the effects of the other pills, it gives me the impression I can just summon gravel on command. In which case, I'd only have to pay for my own transportation.

[ACTIVATE WINDOWS] in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I highly doubt they can't stop it and slightly suspect they don't want to. You can install any version of Windows (even enterprise), use MASgrave, wipe the whole thing, reinstall it, and it'll pass online activation as genuine. There's just no way that's an accident.

Is Linux desktop marketshare increasing or is desktop marketshare decreasing as a whole, though?

If you’re sitting on a Windows 10 machine that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, or if you’re tired of Apple’s walled garden, now’s the time to explore PureOS, a FSF endorsed GNU/Linux distribution.

God damn it. This is how you scare people away from Linux.
