no one was bringing Brian Thompson to justice
You're not wrong, but the issue is that as fewer and fewer people believe that the law will actually hold anyone accountable, they'll decide the correct thing to do is to take it into their own hands.
And, if there's anything that's been very, very, very, very, clearly shown over the last 2 or 3 years in the US it's that the rule of law does not apply to anyone who is rich, famous, or is capable of wielding sufficient soft power.
If you're one of those 3, then absolutely nothing you do is illegal, and once you've reached the point where the justice system will not do anything to those that wrong you, the only thing you have left is to go out and take action yourself, which historically has almost always been violence.
I would expect there to be more, rather than less, of these types of murders from here on - especially given that everyone in this country either has a gun, or is a 15 minute background check away from having one.
Fedora was always a bleeding-edge distro and never all that stable or reliable.
The problem is RedHat/IBM have been fucking with everything, and Fedora has suffered along with everything else and it's just kinda decayed a bit over the past few years.
....Ubuntu went to shit at least a decade ago, if not longer.
TBH it's on message for them.
The guy they had to lead the DOE last time had no idea what they did, either. It's nice to see that at least some things don't change.
New business opportunity!
New fintech startup, Wankr, provides loans at 2400% to pay your wank-fines.
....Now to get $300 million in Series-A funding.
This and the 'the server is for x topics'. Those just confuse people because if you don't understand federation, you think that means 'you can only talk about x here' which is not how it works at all, but it's very much how things are still being presented.
And for all the 'lemmy.ml bad', it's only bad if you're discussing one of their sacred cows (bears?), and otherwise perfectly reasonably usable, and getting more people on the fediverse is preferable to purity testing every community that tries to move off reddit.
You keep cloning and configuring shit on a Win10 instance because you can't find the key?
That's silly and you should just stop doing that: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
There you go! One less problem to deal with.
Not voting was a vote for Nazis, so yeah, the ~40% that did not vote are being clumped in with them.
While I don't disagree, I still think using a Kindle device is stupid.
No reason that they can't just go 'oh we didn't sell those books, we should clean up all that unauthorized content' at some point in the future.
Buy something that's not made by Amazon, even if it costs a bit more or has worse features, because well, they're not to be trusted.
(Or custom non-connected firmware if that's a thing for Kindles. Never really looked so no idea if that's a thing.)
many US citizens are that stupid
Most.
30% voted for this, 40% couldn't be fucked to vote against this so we've got a base of 70% of this country being dumb as shit.
0.001 ElonCoin says that absolutely nobody will revolt against anything.
70% of the country either wants this or was too lazy to do a single thing to stop it, and the other 30% is too busy yelling at each other about how they're the most pure.
Ain't shit gonna happen.
Honestly at this point it'd be your kids stealing your car, then blasting the Beastie Boys.
Shit's old, and so are you, sorry for the bad news. <3
Ah yes, the bright future of a movie that uh, is primarily focused on a planetary genocide by someone who's not too smart but very angry.
If only there were some way to get books to read in a format where a billionaire's trillion dollar company can't gatekeep them.
Some sort of physical product, perhaps one made out of trees?
identify as dead inside
Wow, rude. Why you gotta call me out like that.
Okay I have to ask: if you don't know someone's gender, but you can't call them uh, they/them, then what in the fuck are you supposed to do exactly?
Like, I fully get doing it in person can be being a dick, but on the internet where you absolutely do not know unless someone tells you?
That's the dumbest thing I've heard today, and I was on reddit earlier.
completely disable Windows Update
Since this is a work thing, I'd maybe check with whomever is in charge of your shit that you're not violating any compliance shit by turning updates off.
If you're not, cool, then whatever, but compliance bullshit is awful and sucks and it's better if you're not the reason you fail an audit.
Edit: for the OP, not you.
As someone who is shit with dealing with relationships, I get the appeal, I really do.
Problem is we don't have a Lucy Liubot yet, so we are yet again let down by our poor quality technology.
No, having to live here is really the only thing you need to have in order to care about making the place not a shithole.
is this dead?
Snapraid parity is offline, so that's not strictly accurate.
You build the parity, and then until you do a sync/scrub/rebuild they don't do shit, so there's no reason to keep them spun up.
If the drive are slow spinning up, then this is probably not a fatal concern, but there's zero details here.
Oh, maybe I wasn't clear: this isn't the usual mods doing mods, they were such bad posters the admins banned their entire sub.
Getting banned from a subreddit is easy, getting the admins to kick you, your friends, and your community off the site requires exquisite and well-developed shitposting skills beyond those of most mortals.
