frontpage could be used as an IDE, rather than just a WYSIWYG editor. it was decent at that IMO. and that was probably 15 years ago at least.

frontpage used to be unironically good.

both. its how most people understand the world, for better or worse (mostly worse)

i’m assuming most people here are usian.

which usually means liberal, yeah.

dude is openly liberal, regardless of what the default is in their part of the world (and its usually neoliberalism anyway)

id appreciate it if they didnt get it chock full of fucking ads. big part of why i left it.

its actually a good system underneath the crud, and microsoft loves to insist on the crud.

im glad they are losing users then.

if not being their cash cow gotta mean we get treated like this, then they should not have the market cornered.

good. fuck. microsoft.

they had the choice of not being fucking awful and they had no reason to. im glad its crumbling for them even if wayyy too late.

big no. neoliberalism is a capitalist ideology. right wing.

to some degree its true. they just fail to grasp what lies beneath it, for one reason or another.

why are those people choosing to be low information? how can algorithms be so effective and whos paying for it? why and how are populists so effective in rounding up a nation’s worth of fascists…?

wow this one rustled some jimmies

i boycotted them when i found out they streamed drm-protected lock-in music back then, and charged us a subscription for it.

not really just that, as the system resists when actual socialists get into significant power in capitalist institutions.

weve been there, done that. i assure you they will be doing their best to stop or coopt him, if they aint already.

the bright side is you just got an opportunity to actually really improve things materially, hes a good sign. this will depend more on his supporters than himself though, and i don’t think the us public is just about ready to actually really materially support a socialist dissident in power.

problem is everybody is on phones now, and its even more locked down and complicated on that side.

its a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

yeah but then theyd have to pay ya instead of pocketing almost everything and getting a robot to do it for them.

not that we should accept this, but all mainstream social media does this already. i “lost” quite a bunch of “friendships” when i noticed it. and im glad i did.

pacing data might be useful to pressure us more, later. its not just about the code.

i know that.

my point is that it doesnt really matter while the oligarchs control the mainstream OS.

i am more than one person, but i can’t comment about it
