They only really block access when there isn't an official way to validate. Iirc, Louisiana did this over a year ago and pornhub is doing age verification there now.

Download the iso and install home. It won't stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.

Well sure, anything is free when you steal it. Whether or not they care enough to come after home users, doesn't change the fact that it's not free.

But yea, know your audience and give them something they can use. I made my mother learn mint after the 80th time I had to clean the windows box, and she did well enough with it.

If you're using a remote access product that is as water right as a fishing net, and have years of history of them fucking around with security (account takeover controversy in 2016, didn't have default 2fa until 2018), you're kinda in the neighborhood of getting what you deserve. This is like being on Facebook and complaining that fuckerberg is spying on you and using your data to feed their AI.

If this was still the mid teens, I'd give people a pass. But TeamViewer has been a trash product for longer than my kid has been alive, and anyone still using it should have done their due diligence on the software they chose (negligence doesn't mean they deserve it, but it's hard to feel sympathy when they chose to not do the research on a service that has direct access to your systems), or already accepted the risks of using it (so they absolutely deserve it)

Every person I've ever dated has been a friend well before we had any kind of a relationship.

Windows Home isn't free (legally), you can't just install it and have a valid license available without paying money. Most people think Windows is free because you're paying for the license when you buy a prebuilt, you're just not seeing the line item cost.

But either way, Home is a trash fire. At least Pro lets you control more of the annoying aspects of the OS. Home you're just opening up for whatever MS wants to shove down your throat. And even then, just run linux. That's actually free, and a better experience.

Year of the desktop when?

God fucking damnit, I finally find a Linux OS that gels with me and I find this shit....

Yet another 'stabbed in the back' myth...

1000% a very real, very tone deaf apple ad from like 8 years ago

He's on twatter constantly and streams him badly playing games he's paid people to power level his characters in, of course he uses a computer.

I'm going to second a recommendation for Bazzite. If you've used normal Linux before, it takes some getting used to the quirks of an atomic distro, but I've been using it for a month or two and love it!

I'm pretty sure that's where alf is from

Because he made that clarification after the fact from a scripted statement and an anonymous white house person.

But it’s this very specific quote that people are misrepresenting. It’s not like he first said “there were fine people on both sides” and then, a few days later, clarified that he wasn’t talking about the Nazis.

Please stop acting like you know what happened. His unscripted comments did not include that, full stop.

Again, please stop letting people think for you. Here is the full statement in context. He unequivocally did not denounce the Nazis in his first statement, he gave generic statements about hate having no place in America, which is not the same as what you're falsely saying.

But we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time.

It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society, and no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play, or be with their parents, and have a good time.

I just got off the phone with the Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, and we agreed that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now. We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true affection -- really -- and I say this so strongly -- true affection for each other.

Our country is doing very well in so many ways. We have record -- just absolute record employment. We have unemployment, the lowest it's been in almost 17 years. We have companies pouring into our country. Foxconn and car companies, and so many others, they're coming back to our country. We're renegotiating trade deals to make them great for our country and great for the American worker. We have so many incredible things happening in our country. So when I watch Charlottesville, to me it's very, very sad.

I want to salute the great work of the state and local police in Virginia -- incredible people -- law enforcement, incredible people -- and also the National Guard. They've really been working smart and working hard. They've been doing a terrific job. The federal authorities are also providing tremendous support to the governor. He thanked me for that. And we are here to provide whatever other assistance is needed. We are ready, willing, and able.

Yeah, and it specifically ignores that the statement you posted was the second, clarifying statement days later. Snopes is going off what he said he meant, not actually what he said. Check the United the Right wiki page for the actual timeline.

Stop letting other people think for you.

Trump did not respond to the torchlight parade on Friday night or the demonstrations on Saturday morning until 1:19 pm on Saturday, August 12, when he tweeted, "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!"[284][33]

At the bill-signing ceremony, Trump said that "we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides".[284][33][288][289] He added that it had been "going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. A long, long time" and that "a swift restoration of law and order" was now vital.[289]

A statement attributed to an unnamed White House spokesperson was released the next day, asserting that "The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together

...

After the backlash for his remarks, Trump read a statement from a teleprompter two days later at the White House.[310][292] He said that "anyone who acted criminally in this weekend's racist violence, you will be held fully accountable."[287] and that "[r]acism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."[311]

The closest they have is the unattributed statement, again after the fact, trying to clarify what he said wasn't what he meant. Like they always do.

Note that this is the second statement he made, which he had to make after being called out by the media for seemingly supporting the neonazi protestors. Which, given his history at that point and subsequently, it's pretty obvious that the media was right and he was just back tracking due to bad publicity.

Fee-males are just gigolos.

You do realize that reddit has thought of that, and can ban you again for ban evasion pretty easily if you go back to the sub(s) that banned you.

Plus, why would I want to create another account in that shithole, even if one of my accounts were banned? Reddit's culture isn't that much better than Facebook at this point.....

Strategy #1: don't call them "females"

60%. Non-voters don't get a pass.

They never do!
