from the article:

"To be clear, the end of servicing applies to drivers provided via Windows Update. Manufacturers will, according to Microsoft, "need to provide customers with an alternative means to download and install those printer drivers."

so no, this is click bait for what amounts to a nothingburger

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

-Paul Krugman

did something happen? or is the "exodus" just due to a slow death? it seemed promising, but I did stop going there a while ago because there was enough here to scroll through

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

And when Jesus was asked what the greatest of the commandments was:

"The most important one is this: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these”

yep, Jesus really was a liberal hippy cuck

despite what "free speech" absolutists would like to believe, the vast majority of the world does not wish to tolerate hate, racism, and bigotry. refusing to accept these is not suppression, it's maintaining healthy and welcoming communities.

it's no different than swimming pools having a basic "no shitting in the pool" policy. if you want to shit in the pool, you are going to have to go swim with others that are ok with swimming in shitty water.

with that said, I hear exploding-heads may be what you're looking for

on Yellow declares bankruptcy · c/usa · 7 pts · 3y

The heads of this company applied for and received 700 million dollars of taxpayer money 3 years ago.

The writing was already on the wall. They changed nothing after receiving that "loan", and likely even accelerated Yellow's demise.

Rich assholes once again scamming the working class and will bear no consequence at all

I haven't dealt with crypto in years, so I'm not really the best source for some of those specifics.

As I understand it, the Monero protocol doesn't maintain history between transactions, so it's very much like electronic cash. if I were to go the exchange route, I would convert to XMR, send it to another exchange, then back to BTC. it doesn't really matter where you buy it if you go that route. those transactions do have a cost however.

as I've said it's been years and the crypto world is loaded with scams so I have no idea which if any of those are legit, sorry.
