I think they asked only old ladies in the Baltics too.

I am federated with the bear, but not grad. What’s going on is thinly veiled celebrations. Plus never have I heard a single one of those people have a bad thing to say about Trump or conservatism.

I’m not too sure most of the people on Hexbear are leftists tbh, I reckon they’re fans of authoritarianism more than anything. I even got banned for saying that voting third party (aka not voting against Trump) is pretty much voting for genocide. Of course, they don’t see it that way - Biden and Harris are personally killing Palestinians and under Trump this would surely be stopped.

I’m saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they’ll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it’s cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We’re talking about companies here, not people.

The idea of “European exceptionalism” is no different than the idea of “American exceptionalism”.

I’m European and I subscribe more to American exceptionalism than European exceptionalism.

I mean the US has exceptionally awesome landscapes and national parks, exceptionally friendly and polite people and uh… Yeah, exceptionally nasty politics, that’s the one. That’s the one I hate.

It’s a country with so much potential, and most of it is spent bickering instead of building a better future for everyone. Which they damn well could afford with their GDP per capita.

It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

His official title is commander-in-chief. The generals answer to him AFAIK.

I reckon that in all likelihood the Project 2025 folks will piss him off at some point and he’ll just throw a tantrum and refuse to work with them. Doesn’t mean he’ll suddenly turn into a leftist, but if he doesn’t play ball, they’ll have trouble getting anything passed.

Don’t managed funds have lower growth and significantly higher costs than index funds?
