The bigger picture is always missing in these posts.

And that is that everything that’s happening has already happened in Russia. It’s how Putin got power - through the courts.

All a Republican president has to do now is make an official act that they are president for life, the supreme court agrees, and that’s that.

The second is that while only the president has immunity (meaning anyone killing people under their official order would still be illegal), the president can also pardon people. So it’s a loophole - anyone can kill under their official order, and then the president can just pardon them.

You could also just, idk, by Velcro shoes or get lock laces.

Edit: Got downvoted but that’s literally what my mother with arthritis uses. Lock laces and a shoe horn. Lock laces are basically the low tech and reliable version of what these app shoes have.

To ask of you have any grapes

You can take the ducks you know

No one ever tells you this, but you can just take the ducks. Just like with the city pigeons. Just make sure you don’t take a government drone by accident.

Apparently he thinks data is like the ducks you find in the park

I think reputation is better than the virus total scan, since it wouldn’t catch malware broken up in different parts that are integrated into the OS.

I will definitely keep this in mind. Have you had any issues with the OS not having Edge? I thought it wasn’t easily possible without causing some issues.

Didn’t know these customized windows os’s were still a thing. I thought they did out in the windows 7 age

But like back then, how do we know these are safe and don’t have some kind of password stealing malware? Excluding Defender specifically makes it a bit sus

Recently I’ve found Fedora based distros better than debian (like Ubuntu) based ones, especially on “newer” hardware (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hezio/saved/#view=TwZfpg)

For gaming Bazzite literally installs everything you need for you except Proton GE, although Steam’s regular Proton isn’t bad either for most games.

My bad, you’re right. I thought it also excluded the software that made automatic onedrive support possible but apparently not.

We get Windows 11 N

Not to mention i feel like lab grown meat in particular will have been made possible through animal suffering research.

I feel like there’s a limit to this. How much time has to pass before it’s ethical again? After all, many animals were harmed in the research (selective breeding) of modern vegetables too. It’s a process that took hundreds to thousands of years and a ton of livestock used as farm equipment to create something like the modern carrot.

Poking with a modern needle or using a single cattle by comparison is a lot less sacrificial research by comparison, only it’s more recent.

OpemAi had a for profit division though

This is nice to know. Cinny looks beautiful from a UX perspective, wish they made an app too. Not enough good UX in open source stuff.

You can edit the post with *apparently not all countries

Why ? Just because they voted for the Right wing that promise to solve what they see as a problem while the Left wing call them bigot, racist and homophobe

They didn’t just vote for the right wing though, they voted for Nazis. So yes, they are literally bigoted, racist, homophobes. If you support people who admired Hitler, guess what? You’re a fucking asshole of a very high degree. Being poor or troubled doesn’t make you an asshole. My parents grew up in extreme poverty in El Salvador, and they didn’t become extreme racists. I was in extreme poverty in university in the USA, I didn’t suddenly start voting right wing either, let alone extremely far right. I hated the democrats over there, but knew the right wing wouldn’t solve it because bad people don’t go good things.

You don’t end up voting for genuinely bad people who admire one of the most atrocious regimes in human history because of frustration. You only do so because you either already have a broken moral compass, or are extremely ignorant and stupid. In Germany though, it’s more likely to be the former rather than the latter considering their history. And it’s that recent history that makes it that much more shameful for Germany, and that shows that Nazism was still not extinguished.

You don’t deal with an intolerant group like Nazi or AfD by excusing them or reaching out to them. You don’t tolerate the intolerant (paradox of tolerance), because otherwise it’ll only be a matter of time before you or someone else is no longer tolerated. And that’s something history has proven repeatedly.

Ok but the AfD is literally just modern Nazis.

Calling people who voted for them stupidity is the extremely charitable label, because malicious and vile would be more accurate in that case.

Comparing Italy and Germany here just isn’t equivalent.

Last I checked they didn’t have the majority though?

You’re kind, since you didn’t ask him to pronounce something like yö

I was a pessimist, therefore the results have actually come out pretty good to me. Far right didn’t win Belgium, and Left party gained a lot of seats in Finland while right wing parties lost seats. Yeah Germany (eyes them suspiciously) and France turned out very right, but a lot of the other countries stayed about ideologically the same or gained left leaning seats.

Overall it seems it’s balanced enough to keep going with the corporate accountability / public convenience stuff we’ve been seeing here in the EU, especially related to tech.
