i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…

i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates

i have run out of things to say about what’s going on with him. all the shitty awful things he says/does/will do.

all i have left now is “this fucking guy”

holy metaphor, Batman!

yep. now i’m a dad!

imagine how many republicans were immensely angered by this! makes me feel warm inside.

i call them p’teats

but i am not talking about emojis… i am talking about emoticons, which came into heavy use in the early 80’s.

in any case, i was trying to be “cute” or cheeky when i suggested that “smilies” didn’t exist in Germany, but i failed to communicate that effectively. perhaps i should’ve used a winky face, or provided a little more context about the origins. sorry about my perceived snarkiness; wasn’t my intent.

EDIT : i am actually struggling to find a reference to “^^” being used by anyone; could you point me to a source, as i am genuinely curious about this

let me guess? Zuckerberg phoned him up and reminded him of all that lovely lobby money that had been shared around!

in all seriousness, it’s likely because the origin of the emoticon is tied in with the ASCII character set, and the codes available when the emoticon was conceived. emoticons were around for decades, before we started using them on phones.

in fact, “smilies” are indeed not German!!!

unfortunately the head of the CRTC and the CEO of Rogers are buddies, and go for beers together. i wish i was kidding.

broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult

i didn’t think they will be able to. all the kleptocrats will make sure that there’s some legal document that will guarantee that they get hugely compensated in the event that the government tries to take their property back.

^^^ found the pervert ^^^

for really real. i am pretty tired of all the “ménage a un” and onesomes i have been having.

well i didn’t vote for him

holy shit! this is the most dystopian-looking amusement/water park that i have ever seen! more like BEmusement park

they use the word meat a lot on the shelf tag, considering it’s not meat

that’s some mighty fine fiscal responsibility, right there

perhaps it’s worded that way for legal reasons? maybe if they flat out said it was non-toxic, and then it turned out that they were wrong, someone could sue them.

i am sure it’s the same sort of idea behind posting a video of someone committing a crime on camera, they use the word “allegedly”

dunno; not a lawyer

did he go broke because he had to pay for a subscription to Peloton?
