Depends on how you define security.
Is win11 more cryptographically secure, absolutely.
Does that matter if you don’t trust the holder of the keys (the Microsoft keys stored in the tpm) not really.
implementing a more secure platform doesn’t mean much if the only way you are doing it is by handing over control to a third party.
Would you trust a better lock on your front door if it meant a proven bad actor was the one who could unlock it?

- Comment on Crossbow killer Kyle Clifford was 'fuelled' by Andrew Tate videos before rape and murders, court told 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s wrong, though I think he picked a bad choice with columbine as both shooters were bullies themselves and not loner outcasts as perceived.
However it wasn’t my point, which obviously didn’t get across given the response, my point is that artist intention doesn’t always matter, we easily accept the concept of death of the author when critiquing works, and we also easily accept that at least some forms of media have a direct effect on people’s decision making. So while I don’t think any artist should be censored, I do think it’s foolish to imply that just because something is in a song (or by an extension, is played by a character) it means that nothing bad can happen.
If SpongeBob was telling kids how to stick a fork in the outlet is it fine because SpongeBob is a character
Besides, according to the man himself, on his own website, the lyrics are about relating to the shooters. From eminem.com - “Eminem was often bullied growing up, so part of him understands the desire to lash out at your entire school that the Columbine shooters felt”
I like Eminem but let’s be real, this is a shock lyric, there is not much deeper meaning and the rest of the verse moves on quickly.
Also, didn’t em himself have multiple songs and music videos about his influence and how children shouldn’t listen to his music

It’s because the Republicans usually have the police either directly on their side, or at least sympathetic to them.
Look at the police response across the country to BLM protests a few years ago.

- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 2 months ago:
You don’t pay all at once, you need to pay quarterly tax estimates or you will be constantly paying penalties.
I really wish people would stop giving bad tax advice to strangers.

Just so you know, you will likely face underpayment penalties doing this.
I suggest you avoid giving 16 year olds tax advice.

If the lesser evil were consistently voted in year over year, the evilness would slowly decline.
The problem is that doesn’t happen. The lesser evil is often not selected, that’s the part that shifts the scale.

A company taking excess revenue and reinvesting it isn’t profit.
There may be phrases with the word profit in them that include that value, but the general accepted definition is profit is the money that gets distributed to the stakeholders after expenses are covered. This is things like dividends for publicly traded companies, or for private companies, it’s just straight up paying out the cash to stakeholders.

So a service company that only pays salaries has 100% profit?
This is splitting hairs and if all the people arguing about this took an actual class in uni a out this they would know that.
Gross profit typically includes cost of goods sold, COGS doesn’t have an explicit legal definition, it’s up to the business to decide what they include, they can include employee salaries or not, this is called abortion costing, a business which puts salaries, rent utilities, etc, under abortion cost would have a gross profit equal to their net profit.
When dealing with accounting, you can call things whatever you want, net profit isn’t something that has a legal definition.
For example, I just decided that my business doesn’t follow your definition of profit, and instead defines profit as only money I find in my pockets. There isn’t a legal definition of how I need to define profit, so it’s just as valid as all the other definitions.
And regardless of all that, I don’t understand how anything you said proves me wrong. Profit is net profit, just the same as profit is gross profit, you can put an arbitrary boundary at any point in a financial metric and it makes sense to do so, but it doesn’t change what the word profit means. But the claims that ‘if you don’t profit you have to go in debt’ is just silly and only makes since if you cherry pick a very narrow definition of profit that is used as one part of a general financial metric for a business.
A company that has revenue - all expenses = 0 does not need to be in debt, this is also how a non profit will look, 1 million in revenue, 500k in general expenses, 500k reinvestment into the company final result 0 dollars left over. The effective meaning and understanding of profit for practical purposes and lay people (not book keepers within a company that needs more refined and specific metrics) is the amount of money that gets distributed to stakeholders after a company has covered its expenses.
Your block about non profits is exactly my point. A non profit does not pay out the left over money to stakeholders but people who work for a non profit still make money.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 2 months ago:
Non profit means no profit. Salaries, rent, etc are not profit.
That is fundamentally what profit is, revenue less expenses.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 2 months ago:
I mean, non profits exist. Of course it’s not the case for Amazon, but you don’t need to profit in order to exist as a company, and people still get to make money.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 2 months ago:
Yes, but revenue pays for things like salaries, advertising, etc.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 2 months ago:
I disagree, I like that the menus, icons, and buttons are visually distinct.
I absolutely hate websites where every button looks the exact same and I can only tell the difference by analyzing the page Terminator style.
Death to ui frameworks, death to bootstrap, long live custom UIs with a design language.

I think a lot of people here on social media need a reality check about who is actually participating in the market.
Most people simply do not care about this stuff, they don’t need to learn, because the outcry of an infinitely small minority doesn’t mean anything to them.

This is all well and true, but it’s important to note that these organizations exist as a sidestep to regulation, they are formed by industry outsiders as a promise to the regulators that they will be honest about how they rate games (or movies or music) so that the government doesn’t actually get involved and do it’s job.
It’s a form of regulatory capture that allows the industry itself to decide what is harmful to us.
It’s basically the definition of conflict of interest.
