Why do you find this something to mock or ridicule or disbelieve?
because the OP paints custodians as awkward and outcast. While OP paints themself as a white knight, they backhandedly paint the custodian as a damsel in distress who needs the OP to rescue him. OPs like this deserve all the mockery.
google get worse, because they have a strong incentive to deliver ads, and a weaker incentive to deliver good results (see Cory Doctorow). Kagi is a subscription service, so their only incentive is to deliver good results.
it would be "simple", if start->settings wouldn't point me in an completely wrong direction. As it is, you need to know the secret phrase "device manager" (or "control panel" or "management console") to find the hidden settings-dialogs that will actually solve the problem.
in meiner erfahrung suchen schweizer firmen in erster linie ausländer mit berufserfahrung UND einem abschluss. wenn du beides hast, sollte es kein problem was zu finden.
man sucht nach einen arbeitgeber. Wenn man arbeitsvertrag hat, dann ist die restliche bürokratie recht bequem. Wohnungssuche in der schweiz ist bequemer als in DE. Die grösste Umstellung ist, dass man ende das monats auf einmal viel zu viel geld übrig hat.
I was around cameras all my life, but I only when I bought my first dslr, I started to actually think about how each setting would influence the photo, and I eventually had lots of fun playing around with different settings, motives and eventually photography became an hobby of mine.
What I am trying to say: hobbyists may not need "good" gear, but they still need the "right" gear, i.e. gear that makes the hobby enjoyable.
4 years ago your distinction may be justified, but today trump does speak for the republican party. A significant part of them does support him and agrees with his views.
“A president of the United States must have full immunity, without which it would be impossible for him [or] her to properly function. Any mistake, even if well intended, would be met by almost certain indictment by the opposing party at term end.
“Even events that ‘cross the line’ must fall under total immunity, or it will be years of trauma trying to determine good from bad.”
it's worth the read, but the conclusion at the end is important
Who cares?
Well, everyone who uses a computer should, particularly if we consider what might have happened if Microsoft hadn’t abused their market power. When a monopolist abuses their power, customers all lose, because they don’t get to enjoy the more rapid improvements that robust competition provides. It’s one of the key reasons we think competition is a good thing.
[...] But lastly, and this is the big one for me, we might not have a monoculture of operating system on the Internet with such a poor security model.
[...] Imagine a world where Symantec didn’t exist, because viruses weren’t so easy to write and spread to all the world’s computers. Imagine a world where spam didn’t constitute 90% of all email because it wasn’t so easy to take over a PC and turn it into a botnet zombie. Imagine not having to do impromptu tech-support for family members who accidentally installed a bunch of spyware.
[...]Imagine all the time and money that has been, and continues to be, spent on fixing all of the issues that a better security model 10-15 years ago might have avoided.
In Summary
Microsoft have made (or bought) some excellent products, as they continue to do. There are many wise, capable, and perfectly reasonable people who work there, what with it being a big company and all. This is not a company that is an unrestrained force for evil in the world.
However.
Microsoft have a history of abusing market dominance in order to exclude competitors. Many of the top management running the company at the time are still there, running the company today.
Perhaps there will be no repeat performances, but there are very good reasons for greeting rhetoric from Microsoft regarding their openness with some scepticism.
Inflammatory headline aside, let me be clear that I don’t hate Microsoft. But I can understand why there are those who do.
at first glance I thought this was an album cover
