Are/were you able to log in?

I've logged in a few times recently and I've not seen (m)any ads. But I pay for prime. The subscription is hardly worth it as I've mostly moved to Lemmy. But there are still some communities that haven't made the jump.

This is why I moved to Linux Mint. Then, when I got tired of having to reinstall the entire OS every time there's a new version I moved again. Spare a thought for the poor saps who feel stuck with an OS from a single vendor. And sometimes even paying for the privilege. That being said fund open source. Freedom isn't free.

Not sure that this is because the protest is against Israel or just this is a protest. After all, look what went down during the cessation of Occupy Wall street. Those guys were rough.

Thing is, they are asking the questions and I rather suspect that they don't want to put that out there.

I do very hope this is snark.

Slightly OT but hasn't Fedora gone all in on Wayland? Maybe it's an attempt drive critical mass of adoption and concentrate developers' minds to closing the gap between now and fully production ready. As such, maybe moving to Fedora will net you the best support and smoothest Wayland implantation.

Some of them are Christo-fascist and they just wanna get raptured.

Some of them are nationalist and they think their country is so awesome, it can tank a few nukes.

And some of their number are so mind fucked by machismo and toxic masculinity, that they just want to wave the big stick.

Seems they got form. In 1983, they also shot down a civilian Boeing 747.

It turns out AfD is the SED, Socialist Unity Party of Germany all along.

Yeah and all relays in China are owned by the government. Besides TOR cannot put apps back in store. Hey, that rhymes!

Isn't that enough!? OK, I suspect there are other governments out there that will fall on the side of Israel should push comes to shove. I strongly suspect the UK will also support Israel when it comes to it.

This is assuming the bots are allowed (or, at least not prevented in coming) in by the server admin and the bot is not obfuscated some how. If the bots are taking advantage of an expolit, or not being up front, then we have trouble.

I'm reminded what GabeN said: Piracy is an issue of service, not price.

I agree with him up to a point. As price gouging is a feature of modern day streaming.

One reason Steam became the defacto standard is because the insane Steam sales that Valve put on in the early days.

They kept their monopoly in the face of other stores giving away games mostly due to service, though.

I don't think they could show the bombings as Oppenheimer wasn't there. However, it is plausible that he saw some newsreel footage of the aftermath. They could show that.

Or maybe he's saying your friends are garbage eaters. Or at least content to chow down.

One would argue given enough time some kind of civilizations ending event is an inevitability. With nukes we're just increasing that risk.

Yes, I would say the threat of dying in nuclear hell fire (if you were lucky) a bit of a burden.

Almost... Another way to see it is they burdened future generations as an expedient measure to save the lives of the people now in the past. Another another way to look at the bomb is preventing another world war.

An interesting historical point is Japan had largely been defeated by the time the bombs were dropped. And they had the option to bomb an uninhabited (or very lightly) part of Japan's territory as a show of force. But, instead they specifically chose to irradiate civilians.

I think that's always the way. Compartmentalisation. Though I don't blame the film for not showing the horrors taking place in those cities. At the time Oppenheimer wouldn't have access to those images, and so I guess neither do we. On the other hand - unless I miss remember - we do get to see him watching a film reel. So, maybe they could have shoehorned the scenes of destruction. But, personally, I think it's enough to see the effect it has on Oppenheimer. Any more could be classed as prurient voyeurism.
