I think you mean Bad putin and Worse putin. Neither of them are good.

Not wanting to seem like a windows fanboi in the slightest, but… I guess they’re saying that if you log in to your windows box using their cloud authentication, then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements… and because they’re in a position to see all auth attempts against that account, they can react to attacks and patterns of attacks… having said that. a lot of those advantages go away if you’re not actually connected to the internet… but then, you also lose timely updates by not being connected… it’s a difficult question… I can see how it could be better for a non computer-savvy user to log in using a microsoft account, but also worse and more frustrating for advanced users who don’t want to touch microsoft’s cloud at all. I guess they made the decision based on what was better for the majority of users. If you’re upset by this, you’re not really their target audience.

It’s the MAGA way… they base their self worth on how much the people they hate are suffering.

The problem with taxing the super rich is that their weath isn’t in the form of taxable income, it’s mostly in the form of stock, and doesn’t become cash until it is sold. Selling stock, especially if the CEO is the selling lots of stock, causes the value of the stock to decrease, so they don’t like to sell it at all. What billionaires do to pay for their day to day expenses is to take out loans, using their stock as collateral on that loan. No bank is going to deny a loan backed by Tesla stock, or space-x stock… that’s guaranteed interest for them with basically no risk. The value of the stock them increases over time, more than the interest payments do, and then they pay it back, coming out financially better than they were when they took out the loan. The only way that billionaires could really be taxed is if the government was to tax them on the value of all stock that is held at the start of the tax year, and not just when it is sold. Some countries do this, I don’t think (?) the USA does.

It’s by design… the same group of people think that tarriffs are paid by foreign companies. Keeping voters ignorant is a key part of their strategy. Remember that trump once said “I love the poorly educated”

Depends if you’re rich and white, or not.

Showing 3.2 for me right now, so someone must be deleting the bad reviews, or they’ve got an bot army giving it 5 stars.

Perhaps some sort of delayed-retry would be a good idea.

Maybe rather than "lol"ing at people for not understanding something, you could explain the important differences ?

But are they ? I posted a comment a couple of days ago via lemmy.world on a ‘remotely hosted’ community, and then viewed the same post via its ‘native’ instance, and my comment never showed up, even days later.
