That option was actually fully removed in 8 I believe, then restored in 11 (and newer versions of 10 iirc?) because everyone hated it so much lol

Also I think it was Vista that replaced the flag shield on the power button with a yellow exclamation mark shield instead to differentiate it from the new UAC which used the flag shield logo

edit: images bc i love this stuff lol

Actually it’s even more realism, when the shield is on the power button it indicates pending updates.

valid information to know. i don’t think the ads can be turned off during the first boot setup process though, which is a key distinction here.

You may be misreading something? We are definitely in agreement but you frame it as though we are not.

The person I responded to said “It's not a poverty issue, it's a drug issue.” I made the comment to combat that ridiculous Reagan-era bs.

edit: Also the full text of the study is available for free at the link I posted. Encourage you to peruse it.

ye, and if you don’t like the negative connotations of “lazy,” substitute it with “attentive to making cost effective decisions.”

if it costs more, in time or in money, for an individual to properly dispose of something than the negative consequences of just chucking it in a river, the latter option will be chosen. this hilights the importance of community organization to set up a means for disposal, to make it accessible, and to make it known. by working together both the labor cost of disposal and the externality cost of environmental damage can be limited beyond what any individual could do.

Misinformation, you are lying.

Many factors contribute to higher illegal disposal rates. As stated by many researchers, the most common reason is poor waste management infrastructure, such as waste collection facilities and transportation [6,7,8]. Therefore, providing infrastructure may be a solution to reduce these business-as-usual (BAU) practices [9]. However, Sedova et al. found that illegal dumping behavior is also influenced by other factors such as education level, awareness, dumping cost, and income level [10]. Dumping costs are related to low-income communities. Communities tend to participate in illegal dumping practices rather than pay a certain amount of money [8]. source

Thank you lol. It’s disheartening to see people up in arms (majority of MS related posts in the past week) spreading vague misinfo about a disableable feature when they are putting ads in the OS.

Just, priorities, people 🤦‍♀️

comments demonstrating the timeless truth that the real dumbest segment of the internet is the one that can’t identify a joke 😆

spujb OP , to memes in Happens once per thread

Truly. Especially on platforms where we can't see each other's faces to remind each other we exist and might or might not have had coffee this morning.

Not denying there are bots on here of course, there definitely are, just quite a few less than the average edgy political swearing session would lead you to believe.

spujb OP , to memes in Happens once per thread

Yeah it wasn't really political so it was taken down. Spruced it up and reposted here. 👍

spujb OP , (edited ) to memes in Happens once per thread

Actual context because the other comment (e: the prettybunnys one) is clearly showing some bias:

!politicalmemes is constantly in turmoil against itself regarding some US electoral stuff. About once per thread (no joke) an argument gets to a point where one person accuses the other of not being human because they just can't fathom how different their positions are. This also spreads to other communities but I generally find !politicalmemes to be the primary source.

(Disclaimer: while funny, don't do this kind of attack without real evidence; it's generally frowned on by mods as uncivil.)
