Looks to me like an out of focus shot of Joey, the guy that wrote the "a softer world" comics, sitting on the ground.

It's more of an artsy webcomic than necessarily a comedic one, although there are plenty of funny ones. Some of them are more musings about the world than anything else, as I feel this one is.

This is a particular message that stuck with me in the more than a decade since I first read it, and it's damn good advice.

Fair enough. I work in IT but endpoint config and group policy isn't my area at work, so most of my experience is with my personal computers at home. I at least usually hear the latest bullshit Microsoft is pulling from our endpoint management/config guy.

I should also bear in mind that I stripped down and customized the hell out of the install media before I last installed Windows on any of my devices, and I've run a shit ton of other customization/privacy/debloat tools afterwards as well. Usually by examining the policy and registry edits or PowerShell code they run and just picking and choosing parts for myself. Lots of good tools out there, but none I trust to do exactly what I want with no oversight or investigation.

I'd still say that Group Policy is usually the best option for configuration shit sticking though, due to it being Microsoft's "business side" solution for endpoint config for quite a while now.

- A softer world

Except that these are group policy settings. The stuff they provide to allow businesses to manage their endpoints. Businesses that actually have enough size and money for Microsoft to care. Businesses that can have strict audit and data security requirements relating to things like not allowing data to even brush against something like OneDrive.

To be more direct, the only reason I can't count the number of times they've broken a Group Policy is because I legitimately don't recall it happening in the past decade.

Controlled opposition anyone? Reminds me of some of the anecdotal shit that happened around Occupy Wall Street

I, uh, definitely would have worded this with more care, but if anyone believes their side is somehow immune to corporate interests funding or manipulating drama and outrage? It's dumb to think that the rich sociopaths would uniquely mess with one political side while leaving another completely alone.

Nothing to do with any side being right, wrong, better, or worse. Everything to do with rish assholes being rich assholes.

As far as I know, blocks on Lemmy are one sided. As on, you don't see stuff from who you blocked, but they can still see your stuff. I've definitely gotten comment replies from people I blocked ages ago, I just see it as blocked as long as I'm logged in.

Plenty of non-MAGAts with respiratory issues having medical trouble from this.

What? It's not even his car, it was a review vehicle provided to him as a car reviewer (his job).

A new Evangelion series was just announced directed by Yoko Taro. Can't wait to see what additional batshit trauma he lumps on the characters this go around.

This guy has a super deep voice and has voice acted a lot of these "brother, no" memes quite well, including this one

Fucking tease.
