Players hated it, so… true?

No one dismissed his drug company’s culpability in anything here. The company paid $40M of his penalties since it was, after all, his company.

There were a couple of girls in my shop class. They didn’t have short hair.

districts with a traditional dress code are safer

Trying to wrap my head around the concept of “dangerous hair.”

Doesn’t matter, because generics were finally made available despite his efforts to prevent it and maintain a monopoly. They’re free to price it at whatever they want as long as they make it available to makers of generics to allow competition. Preventing that process and making excessive profits since they blocked alternatives, while making it difficult for patients to access who didn’t have enough insurance coverage, is the main reason he got such penalties.

At least it’s not a trail of shit down the aisle.

No, that’s not the only reason he’s in trouble. It’s true Big Pharma definitely does bullshit all the time but it’s reductive and ignorant to claim that’s the only reason he was punished.

That’s a new one for me, I’ll add it to the list.

No.

Yeah. “Raging cock” is still being nice. He was such an asshole that he got little to no penalty relief from the courts on anything.

Vast understatement.

Damn. Well, thanks for saving me the trouble.

Such an ungangster fall from grace after buying that Wu Tang album.

Yeah… that’s the problem.

Unfortunately, that’s one that got banned for a few services. Obviously not all, good to hear it still works for some, but for others you enter a gvoice number and it tells you it’s not eligible. (At least it did, maybe something has changed and they’re working again, it’s been a while since I tried it.)

Oh good, someone had suggestions. Thank you, I’ll keep these written down for when I need an anonymous voip again. The last ones I used suddenly became disqualified for what I was using them for. Hadn’t gotten around to trying replacements.

You would still need a internet source, but yeah. The hardest part would be getting a virtual phone number that qualifies for receiving account text messages when necessary. Or using apps that inherently tie themselves to a phone number.

I’ve done an update and suddenly bluetooth doesn’t work. Or audio. Or the network is fucked. Or there’s no display on soft reboots, and you have to completely shutdown, turn off and restart to get video again.

One of the current Microsoft-induced selling points for linux is that it’s supposedly a great alternative for hardware that doesn’t support TPM, particularly for people who wouldn’t know how to disable that requirement on Win11 and above. Well, guess what? All that equipment is old. So all the arguments that it’s a hardware problem are not great for linux, since it’s linux that doesn’t play nice with it without fiddling.

For a time I was able to turn this machine into a Hackintosh that ran MacOS well with everything compatible, including the video card before they switched to metal and discontinued support for nVidia drivers. That was easier than getting linux to work and stay working properly, and it’s well documented how much of a pain Hackintoshes were to get working right.

Until a normal system update breaks something within a few days, weeks, months, whenever. And you may be able to fix it. This is a common occurrence that can happen to anyone, not that it necessarily will. It is well documented in the annals of lemmy.

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one to mention this or agree with it. Had some twit bitching at me last night to prove it, as if I kept screenshots or something. I just fixed things and moved on.
