Yes, a million times this. Voting is just one small part of what we must do to fight for a better future. Giving up is not an option, there is far too much at stake. Vote, protest, occupy, run for office, take direct action, organize, and create a better world for the people who come after us. Solidarity forever.

"Ukraine's war" but Palestinian genocide. The situation in Ukraine is no less of a genocide, and it's Russia's war, Ukraine is just trying to survive.

That makes a lot of sense, that's exactly where it would be in the alphabetical list too.

The majority of Americans opposed Nazis, even before entering the war. We supported the allies with aid, and were instrumental in making the Nazi's defeat a reality.

Nazi rhetoric already fits the definition of antisemitism though.

Calling for a divestment of Israel isn't being made illegal or even defined as antisemitism by this bill, so both examples don't really make sense.

True, though Gimp makes it pretty easy when the text is in the same spot each frame like that: Make a new layer for blocking over the old text, put the new text on a layer above that one, then export to gif.

In some cases it seems a bit inconsistent, like Siemens is on the list because they're working to build an undersea cable to allow Israel to integrate with the European electrical grid. Regardless of whether the land is called Israel or Palestine, it helps everyone to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

Why is the flag backwards?

What wild animals are you smelling? Farm animals often smell bad, but those are domesticated. I've been close to deer, sparrows, rabbits, none of them smelled bad. Some snakes smell bad, but I think that's on purpose, like a defensive stink.

I did, best as I can tell it's permitted. Resale of retail Windows licenses is legal. I can't find anything saying it's not.

Where is that written?

Copyright infringement? The only thing being purchased is the product key, from an online reseller. The software is downloaded from the Microsoft website. It's not an infringement of copyright to purchase a software key from a company other than Microsoft, it's not even a violation of their terms of service as best as I can tell.

Don't call it a comeback, it's been here for years
Connecting all peers, putting Comcast in fear
Makin the tiers blow off like a typhoon
Now watch how the bandwidth blooms
Transmissions, not expiring
All the competition, it's inspiring
Mom & pops, online shops
The benefit of equal access rocks

It's not illegal to violate terms of service, at worst it's breach of contract. What policy does it even violate? As best as I can tell Windows licenses are transferrable by first owner provided they aren't installed on another machine.

What's illegal about a $7 windows license?

Adobe's Creative Cloud for enterprise, Individual, or Single App Terms of Use permit deployment in a VM. Even if they didn't, it's not illegal to violate software terms of use, though it could open you up to a breach of contract.

Like it or not, it's an important medium. We couldn't have Deus Ex without Ghost in the Shell.

The $400m was for tax fraud and deceiving banks.

Yeah, I mean maybe I'm biased. 10 is the one that got me to go 100% Linux and never look back. Windows 7 could be irritating, but it was manageable, it could be controlled.

What law does it break?
