So about that... Gunman Who Shot Slovak PM Linked to Pro-Russian Extremist Group

Looks at Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc

If buying isn't owning, the high seas isn't stealing. Drink up me hearties yo fucking ho.

So why do locks exist, if society runs on how people should behave? Why do we have a court system, if we assume no crimes will ever be committed? Why do we have laws?

Don't know how it's going to go for you, but Mint has been going really well for me gaming-wise on an Alienware with Nvidia RTX. Pretty much all the Steam games I care about work, and all my Blizzard games through Lutris. All through simple GUIs, and if you like the Windows feel and setup, there's a Windows 10 theme you can try out, and tutorials on how to get a Windows style mouse cursor too. Again - all up to you, but it worked really well for me and is amazingly customizable. Just... remember to do Timeshift backups regularly, just in case. You never know if you'll need one.

Y'all were the ones saying not even to bother voting because the whole thing's rigged and hopeless, so if you can't beat 'em, fuck it, join 'em. As long as you're not in a position of power when the big guy gets taken down, it doesn't look like anyone ever cares, and you might even get a standing ovation in Canada.

Honestly? Posts like yours make me consider voting for Trump just to show the world the consequences of your attitude. Maybe after you and everyone you love end up hunted down by the death squads or put on a train, the idea that maybe, just maybe, you should've reconsidered while you still had the chance will enter your head. Fuck it, I already enlisted in the military, might as well wear the jackboot while I'm at it.

Lots of us are not, though, and we are both ready and willing to use deadly force against insider threats if the rules of engagement and deadly force compel us to. We swore oaths to defend against enemies both foreign and domestic and to refuse unlawful orders which are contrary to regulation and the Constitution.

Honestly with enshittification "technological dystopia" sounds like exactly where we already are. Now, if only implants weren't being R&D'd by Muskrat and there were some open source non-invasive version...

And I wonder how many of those 95% have already used misapplied AI facial recognition to justify FISA court warrants for stalking investigating random people suspected terrorists?

From what I remember, AI facial recognition tech was already being used by police and agencies worldwide, like the FBI, PRC police etc, or am I misinformed? I remember something about Chinese and American facial recognition software.

So you're saying to kill both my parents, all my uncles and aunts, my neighbors, my coworkers, my sister's entire extended family, and practically all my cousins? Instead of, maybe, trying to convince them to change their ways?

Honestly, with the way geopolitics is going right now, outright deglobalization sometime this century seems inevitable. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the current tensions turn into de facto Cold War II, with regional blocs that outright ban any trade or positive discourse about the other side, and hold high profile hearings on dissidents suspected of following the ideology of the other side.

The problem is that "they" live in the same world as you. Which means that you'd be going right down with them, along with all your loved ones. Is that really what you want?

Nobody is saying to shut down any instance, only that we, and others on the platform who think likewise, would like to not have to see those instances. Nobody is saying to shut down Truth Social or Pawoo or Baraag, for instance, despite having severe disagreements with those instances - we just decided, on our instances, not to federated with them. You aren't obligated to agree with us - you can make your own instance with your own rules, as others have said, or switch to an instance accommodating to your beliefs. But at the same time, it doesn't mean the rest of us have to listen. Think of defederation like blocking - I'm sure you have some sort of block list for trolls, spammers and bots. Same thing, but for an instance.

American-style capitalism

Give me a launch order, and I'll EMP this entire planet back to the stone age. Easy and semi-permanent regulation for the next few millennia.

Found the CSAM apologist.

Prohibition of CSAM seems to be universally accepted as a thing we should keep doing. What say you to that?

Steamroll us? Not if I have anything to say about it. I look forward to setting condition 1SQ for strategic launch of thermonuclear weapons. Hooyah navy. If this is to be our end, then let it be SUCH an end, so as to be worthy of remembrance. I would rather this entire planet and all things upon it burn in radioactive fire than be sacrificed on the altar of technology.
