I don't think anyone is going to come smash down your door because you installed Ubuntu. But I don't know what country you are in and two years ago I wouldn't have believed Iranian police would kill people over wearing a hijab. So I think you should do it, but I also think you should stay safe.

I believe the DOJ report is linked somewhere in that article, if not I'll dig it up if requested.

Cops in this country kill so many dogs each year that a specialist at the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) community-oriented program services office says it has become an “epidemic.” The DOJ estimates that around 25 to 30 dogs are killed by cops every day, with some numbers as high as 10,000 per year. The totals could, in fact, be higher, since most police agencies do not formally track officer-involved shootings involving animals.

Yeah, I should’ve mentioned that “root” or “OG” rap went into that more often

Here's a few (many still not that new I admit) to get you started - mostly rap but not all rap. Not posting these to argue with you, posting to help you discover some new music. 🙂 Each of these is a personal favorite of mine. (Edit: I see you are in Brazil. I admit these are somewhat US-centric in some cases.)

Edited to add: I have a tiny Kbin communityy/magazine specifically for music with a message. (I'm very nearly the only poster so far.)

I don't know how to link it in the correct way for non-kbin folks to hit it, but it's called Music With a Message https://kbin.social/m/musicwithamessage

Edit 2: Not sure if this is the way to do it for Lemmy folks: !musicwithamessage

I will continue to slowly grow the list there.

Hey look at that - it wasn't a random white guy he decided to do this to.

Wow, that seemed like a very revealing trailer. Arguably don't need to see the movie now, I guess they did 'em differently back then.

I upvoted you both because I'll never fail to be happy about police accountability, but also you have a good point.

We'll have made real progress when police accountability is so commonplace that our amazement when it happens will be less likely to overshadow the fate of their victims.

Just realized this doesn't fit here. Will delete in a moment.

Guess I just need to keep using firefox. shrug

In your example where literally every detail has been changed, including the type of product being produced, that makes sense.

The video says, "Portal Revolution Official Trailer." What that says to me is "This is the official trailer" presumably released by the creator of Portal Revolution (which is a community mod).

Even in the worst possible way I can try to interpret that, calling it "manipulative" seems like a huge stretch.

If Valve somehow thinks it's the same thing as your Pokemon example, I'm sure we'll see some action taken.

I was surprised and ready to compliment a Republican governor for coming out against white supremacy and racism. That would have been a brave move.

I'm still happy he did it, but I shouldn't have assumed Wisconsin had a Republican governor, and should have known better than to think one would.

"official trailer" for the mod - I don't see the problem here.

I couldn't blame any ocean dwelling creature that took justice into their own hands (or fins) at this point.

Did I just see a Bob Newhart Show reference in 2023? In a Star Trek meme??!!

Nice.

Edit: Newhart not The Bob Newhart Show. My bad.

No problem, if there's anything else that could help you to troubleshoot on your end let me know.

I'm just worried that people will start shooting them. Otherwise I agree.

I noped out at the first clearly child-sized body. (Which wasn't very far into the video.) Nothing anyone says will convince me that this is OK, nor to accept Israel's righteousness at the current stage of this conflict.

But now they will be forced to enter to give the weenies some sort of proof.

So, your judgment is predetermined. Figures.

So wanting evidence is bad, and forming an opinion without evidence is also bad, am I reading you right?

Huh.

No problem, I've done no magic of any kind there. This is what the manjaro installer created only.

cat /proc/cmdline

BOOTIMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1-x8664 root=UUID=99ed8aec-cdfc-44d6-8217-c85d3db09036 rw quiet cryptdevice=UUID=9bca8872-3f01-472a-b196-ef19cde6b5f8:luks-9bca8872-3f01-472a-b196-ef19cde6b5f8 root=/dev/mapper/luks-9bca8872-3f01-472a-b196-ef19cde6b5f8 udev.logpriority=3

Worked with no drama, for me at least. Hooked it to my TV because that was most convenient. USB-C to HDMI adapter, I just had to tell it where they were in relation to each other and set scaling on the TV. Fonts look a little screwy on that dialogue box, but only in the screenshot - and when composing this post I realized even there they look OK if I don't view that part of the screenshot on the 4K display.

Edit: No, untrue. I think I had the wrong glasses on. The fonts on the 1080p display are fine in reality, but the screenshot is distorting everything on that panel a bit. Again, screenshot only though. All good otherwise. I can't see any other problem after using it a bit like this though.
