That's an extremely narrow point that isn't worth bothering with, because nobody is confused about what you mean when you call them "nazis".

Also it's not one guy doing a zeig heil, it's become a trend amongst them now. They have invited the comparison openly, and anybody getting all pissy about "you just call everything you don't like nazi" is just a crybully who's deliberately wasting your time. At this point anybody turned off of your cause by your use of the word "nazi" isn't your ally in the first place.

Like sure they're not exactly the same as the NSDAP, but the category still applies, and it's not worth anybody's time splitting hairs over the exact nature of the type of fascism they have, because "nazi" does the job and again, nobody is confused by it, because the original nazis are all resting in piss.

Do you have any argument as to why this matters, in any way, at all?

They are literally zeig-heiling.

Cool story but nobody has to listen to you if you can't be bothered to substantiate anything.

Conspiratorial thinking is evidence of and leads to very disordered thinking. You can carry on with it if you want, I'm not your cult leader and I don't have any say in how deranged you get.

A centrist is just a conservative who knows that "conservative" is a bad word.

With evidence, please. "I reckon" is not good enough. There is no evidence that anyone coordinated this at all.

Like fuck Trump, but if they staged it why would the shooter be a disaffected conservative and not some antifa supersoldier or whatever? Like they're playing out their fantasies and apparently they can construct whatever reality they feel like, why muddy the waters in any way?

I'm sorry, the reality in which the dude just sucked, the secret service kind of suck at their job, and the bullet grazed Trump's ear rather than going into his brain from sheer dumb luck is a messy, shitty, scary place where nobody really calls the shots, but it turns out that's probably the one we live in.

There's a point I've heard that the kind of slop that gen AI can be used for is good for fascists, because they're not trying to say anything or make it cohesive, they just want a glut of vague sentiments they're agreeable to, and gen AI can give them that without having to deal with pesky artists who have thoughts of their own like, "what you want is bad, actually," "maybe fuck you," and "I will stab you in the eye with my pencil."

You're noticing that Gell-Mann Amnesia.

I looked it up yesterday because I kept seeing it in an Angela Collier video title and I realised that despite watching the video and re-checking the info several times, I could never remember what Gell-Mann amnesia was, and that was too ironic to be allowed to continue. So this time instead of looking it up and going "ooohh, that's right, okay, nevermind", I went, "okay, now repeat it to yourself until you're sure you won't have to look it up again".

Ah okay, so what I'm reading there is that it may be piratable, but a lot of software vendors don't support it, so there's a decent risk that software would just randomly stop working, which is the same problem you get with windows 10 long term. Oh well.

That site's ai protection won't let me through. But if the issue is needing a legitimate license them I'm sure that can be overcome in other ways.

Well I mainly want it to keep my VR headset running which nobody can get working in linux.

One of these days I'll replace it and make sure the new one can run on linux, and then I won't have much keeping me on windows anymore.

I discovered recently that they make the regular ISOs hard to access too. It didn't want to let me download it from a linux machine.

But there's always a way to access this stuff.

What are the legal issues?

I think it can fall under the same umbrella if their health is failing - it certainly follows the same logic of getting rid of the useless eaters.

But strictly speaking it doesn't affect the gene pool, so you're right about that.

Nah, that's some eugenics bullshit. People don't lose value just because their health is failing. They're still people.

What her health does change is the threat that she posed.

Explain why you as a trained officer need a taser to subdue a 95 year old frail woman who needs a walker.

Just literally take a step back, or grab her wrist. It's not hard.

What is Windows 10 LTSC? LTSC is the abbreviation of Long Term Servicing Channel. It is a stripped-down enterprise operating system based on a specific version of Windows 10. Windows 10 LTSC don’t have pre-installed apps such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana assistant, News, etc. Using the LTSC service model, you can delay receiving feature updates and only receive monthly device quality updates.

Holy SHIT they made a version with the worst stuff removed AND they're going to maintain it longer? That is the version everybody should be using.

I'm slowly switching to linux but there are things I'm going to need Windows for for the foreseeable future, and I think I've found how I can make that happen. Thank you.

I've never understood this idea of having an etiquette telling people how they "should" use their vote. If voting means anything, then people get to use their vote however they want. They can do it by dice roll if they feel like it.

Now remember, if you dislike this comment, according to your own logic, that's not a good reason to downvote it.

I don't know anything about this series, so I had to do a search to be sure all the colours lined up, and I'm still only about 90% sure about it, but here's the word you needed to include so that the uninitiated know what you're talking about:

"Pokemon"

It's honestly amazing that you wrote all of that and never named the series you were talking about. It was extra confusing that you called it a "game it color" when I'm pretty sure you mean "game boy color".

Iggity-iggit-ig-ig-ig-uhhh, don't mind the flag.

That's actually a real strategy that stutterers use to get around hard phrases, they just rephrase what they mean.

It's still enabled by default and acts as FUD for the average user who won't know to disable it and will get spooked by it.

That it can be opted out of doesn't change its propaganda value at all.

They'll have to settle for "warning" the user if they detect a file that was made by libreoffice.

You are not worth talking to.
