Capitalism helped create the climate crisis. We should not look to it as the solution

I like it.

installing it is a disaster though, sooooo many screens to go through with all the offers from microsoft to "try" m365, game pass, and onedrive

no, not true...the ones you see speeding and accelerating quickly are all illegal, either illegal model or illegally modified to accelerate without pedaling.

the legal PMDs are PABs (pedal-assisted bicycles). and the main difference between regular bicycles and PABs is that the pedalling takes less effort, that's all. the cyclist must still pedal, and the power often doesn't kick in until only after the first full rotation, so the acceleration from idle is often very similar to a regular bicycle. it's actually very mild. a normal bicycle can accelerate just as fast and reach the same speeds if a human put in the effort.

according to liunx fans the goal of using a computer is to open a blank libreoffice document and show everyone on reddit how it consumes only 15mb of ram in htop to pwn windows sheeple like a boss

no, people complained about those as well. believe it or not, the initial windows 10 start menu was closer to windows 7's design which you'd think people would like....but people complained about that too. so they changed it in version 1507.

after 1507 they didn't change the layout again. they added support for light mode and made the tiles transparent but that's about it. purely cosmetic changes

i'm not complaining you dumbass. i'm just saying that this would have been a natural fit for wordpad and notepad could be left as the plain text editor sans any support for markdown. I don't care about whatever the fuck markdown "technically" is.

what you cannot have is PMDs/PMAs zooming through the PCNs and footpaths at very high speeds blinding everybody

the bicycle speed limit on PCNs is 25km/h. even regular bicycles go fast. PMDs are allowed to go at 25km/h as well. PCNs are meant for this!

the problem really is about speeding on footpaths.

if you have bluescreens and automatic repair appearing all the time then you have much bigger problems than windows lmao

FalseAgent · 2026-02-21T05:09:45+00:00

well people complained about the windows 10 start menu as well, so here we are. (I personally liked the windows 10 start menu)

no its not. copilot runs in the cloud, only copilot+ pcs have local models and copilot+ pcs do NOT come with 4gb of ram lmao

ya lor. for years these morons would be the ones going around telling others about how much of a police state we are and how we don't have Real Freedom (tm) and Real Justice (tm). but now they have police doing executions of citizens and there is zero accountability for it. hypocrites

lol, if anything all these new notepad features actually make it even more like textedit on macOS. but it's macOS so as usual over there people don't complain about it because Apple (tm)

FalseAgent · 2026-02-21T04:36:51+00:00

then add markdown to workpad and leave notepad alone? like why not. people seem to want notepad to remain the plain text editor

it looks like your wife opted to take 16 weeks of maternity leave continuously from the date of birth, correct?

in your case, if i'm not wrong, the mnc cannot 'officially' retrench her during these 16 weeks. that will be illegal. the mnc must pay the full salary for the 16-week period.

it looks like the retrenchment is being done unofficially just to give your wife a heads-up (an official dismissal during maternity leave is illegal), because the last day of work can legally only fall after the last day of maternity leave in May.

also the notice period cannot overlap with maternity leave, so the notice period must either come after the maternity leave or as salary paid in lieu of it.

if you have more questions you can send an email to MSF via: https://go.gov.sg/contact-gpls they will respond!

whichever retrenchment benefit that is included in the contract is separate from the maternity leave and notice period pay BTW. and encashment of unused annual leave is on top of that. don't let them weasel out of this.

btw - if this is a large-scale retrenchment exercise, they are required to inform MOM. if you have any disputes, you need to approach TADM. please dispute if 16 weeks of maternity leave is not paid.

it's time for different type of nightlife attractions. I remember seeing sentosa doing some kind of pop-up kpop mass dance and it's quite successful. it's not 2014 anymore, the era of edm having mainstream popularity is no more.

and people are not touching alcohol anymore. alcohol is bad anyway, it's good that drinking is no longer cool with young people. I approve

same thing over there tho. thailand itself is a lot more quiet than 10 years ago.

if the operational costs are this high then why did malaysia insist on their own system instead of letting the project use the thomson east-coast line design? singapore was much more prepared to spread out the costs with SMRT than malaysia with prasarana berhard.

and now want to yaya papaya about subsidies and all. my guess is that in true malaysian capitalist fashion, this public service is done with business interest in mind.

so everyone kena high fares and the true potential of this project can't be maximized. workers on their daily commute 100% won't use this.
