Is that a press release for a trailer? Are you going to release a trailer for the trailer next? Just fucking tell us the release date and shut up until then. It's not like you need to introduce the GTA brand to anyone.
they were corralled into the top of the start menu
Sounds like they didn't try to "kill of the start menu", then.
And… Did you not read the article?
I... Did read the article which is why I know it's just got a clickbait headline and there are no plans to replace the start button. Did... you not read the article?
They're not. It's just the author's "creativity". There's no indication of plans to change the start button. Still, they could change the start button, which apparently warrants a misleading article people actually discuss.
Which is why this is obviously just a shitty clickbait headline. Have you read the article? Nobody is planning to replace the start button but they could and that's enough for tech "journalism" these days.
Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12
Yeah, they could also replace the start button with a shit emoji. But there's no indication at all anybody wants to do any of that because they're not idiots. You only said that so people visit your shitty website. In fact, not even the quote you reference for your article suggests any plans of replacing the start button whatsoever:
“The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
Fuck clickbait headlines and fuck websites bending any and all content to the SEO voodoo.
Yes, and I'm saying the deterrence is useless when it's you and your forty guns against a beefed up semi-military police force. If you had thermo-nuclear warheads, that would be a deterrence.
I know what deterrence means. I'm telling you deterrence doesn't work if one side has access to unlimited amounts of Xboxes. They don't care if you smash their Xbox because they simply buy a new one and then they kill you anyway.
Your point is dying a meaningless death in an imagined heroic act in an imagined fascist overthrow? Please excuse me for not arguing with that, I wouldn't know where to start, seeing our diametrically opposed views on the meaning of life in general.
And what’s yours?
Kids are being killed in schools which is bad. Having guns as easily accessible as they are now helps kids being killed in schools which is bad. Not having guns as easily accessible as they are now would be better.
Don’t fight back when they come to take you to the train?
Do fight back when the imaginary fascist overthrow takes place. Do not make guns easily accessible so someone can kill kids in schools. It's not that difficult of a concept, really.
How do you think the fascists might be held back? Make them not so bold?
How do you think the fascists might be held back? By pointing a useless stick at their army equipment? Grow up. You hold back fascist shit by not letting it take root. The US leaves systemic issues unsolved which benefits fascist shit. "Oh, but it's our evil politicians, don't yo-" Then go protest and don't stop until they do what you tell them to do. Other, allegedly less "free" and "great" countries have done it.
Do you disagree?
I don't disagree with the facts, I disagree with your deduction. Protesting and striking now is the way, not preparing for the "inevitable" fascist overthrow somewhere down the line while shrugging off the piles of dead kids.
There was a horrifying video of jihadis running down the street after the Iranian people pulled off a “mini” rebellion last year. American liberals were all over social media talking about… whatever. And none of them had a clue that this sort of this isn’t possible in America because the citizens are armed.
This sort of this isn't possible in the US because the police forces are equipped like armies.
It’s that I have the option, and the brownshirts know that.
Which is why they will come in bigger numbers and equipped with bigger guns. Come on, what would you do in their place? Imagine living in a fascist hellhole and finally the people voted in a left-wing government that is willing to clean up the country of actual fascists. Oh, but the fascists own private guns, you know! Some of them up to 40! Do you think there's a small possibility you might have a chance with unlimited money and resources at your disposal?
If you're scared of a fascist overthrow, act now. Don't watch more kids die just to keep up an illusion.
When "the fascists come knocking" and you pull out one of your guns, you will be made an example of. "They" will come with bigger guns than yours and they will be more than one person and you will quickly realize how silly your idea of fighting back "the fascists" really is. Maybe before you die in your own front door, you'll have time to realize how your silly idea helped mentally ill people kill kids in schools because guns are so easily available and nobody really wanted to do anything about it. You probably won't, though, and thus kids will keep being killed in schools because stepping back and questioning the heroic vision of yourself you were told to strive for is unpleasant.
"Today" is a date, not a number.
