United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Platner’s wife responds to reports of the Senate candidate’s sexually explicit texts with women

Technology•Microsoft is intentionally bricking all Office for Mac 2019/2021 installationsEnglish
21·2 days agoI switched to OpenOffice.org(now LibreOffice) when Microsoft replaced menus with ribbons.
And I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo after being a Google user from nearly the very beginning, because they tried to claim earlier this week that they couldn’t prove I was over 18 years old unless I provided them my legal identification.
Thanks Google, I can’t imagine how the fact that I’ve physically been using your product and logging into the account for more than 20 years would leave any question in your mind that I’m over 18 years old, but you do you.
No regrets with LibreOffice. None.

1·3 days agoGovernment doesn’t grant rights.
Show me a legal stricture that isn’t written, enforced, or adjudicated by a government body.
That doesn’t mean anything.
Rights are things that it is right for a person to have and is not right for a person to be denied.
That’s an oroborus of a definition.
It doesn’t clarify how rights are created, enforced, or adjudicated.
Rights are not created, enforced, or adjudicated.
They are acknowledged, protected, obvserved, or denied.
Governments grant privileges. Governments do not grant rights.
Governments are people, my friend.
Governments grant privileges, not rights. In the same way that governments follow the laws of science and don’t have the ability to change them.
Rights are inherent. They are not granted. As much as governments, or you, or anyone else, beg for them to be granted. Rights are fundamental to existence.
And I’m over here mostly listening to music from other countries and loving it.
Sometimes it really is that the music in the U.S. isn’t as good as it used to be.
