Glad of that, but the format is just awful. I couldn’t stand it anymore and bowed out.

Ugh. I can’t watch this shit anymore. This format is making it impossible to even follow a single answer. It’s awful. Good luck, folks.

Jesus, Trump bringing up the idea of post-birth abortion. I hope people see through it.

This format really, really sucks. None of the answers can actually be thorough.

Yep. Hoping we see some of the Biden we had for the SOTU.

He’s given one bad answer. His first answer and responses were good. A sore throat isn’t a reason to declare his candidacy over.

Ouch. That last one hurt. Biden started strong on that answer, but lost the thread.

To the people who are calling Biden “toast” three minutes into the debate: Fuck off.

Trump still doesn’t understand tariffs.

To me he sounds like his throat is sore from talking. He’s been campaigning a lot.

Good first answer from Biden. Trump starting off with lies about the economy.

Neither would George W. Bush. Republicans have won the popular vote only once in the last 32 years, and that was Bush as the incumbent in 2004 - which wouldn’t have happened had Gore been the incumbent.

This is a center-left country, with an election system that gives extreme right-wingers oversized influence.

I hope the fact that the current SCOTUS just legalized bribery comes up.

I don’t like this. I really, really don’t like this. On, like, a visceral level.

I know, right? He’s doing something widely supported, which costs taxpayers nothing, and will improve the lives of a maligned minority! How horrible!

…

Jeez, guy, just celebrate a wrong being corrected. Is it political? Duh. Does that make it bad to do? Of course not.

Good. Make Russian civilians see the horrors of the war they support personally.

It’s incredibly short-sighted of them. Windows is the gateway to easy integration, especially with 365. Drive people away from Windows, it could ultimately start driving people away from Microsoft services.

If Microsoft would just recognize that at this point, operating systems are a commodity and loss-leader, it might inspire them to de-enshittify Windows and focus exactly on the services you mentioned.

Don’t you know you can’t be American if you don’t use your genitals correctly? I’m sure it’s right there in the Constitution somewhere… /s

When was the last time you used it? These days, VS Code is on par with any high-quality IDE. And it works well on Linux, which is a bit of a surprise.

Microsoft has become such a bizarre company. On the one hand, it’s trying to be super developer-friendly, with tools like Typescript, VS Code, and DotNet Core being easy to use and multi-platform. On the other hand, they seem hell-bent on making Windows itself - their bread-and-butter offering - as hard to use and annoying as possible.

It just doesn’t make any sense.
