Remember the Github dev who got blocked by Microsoft
It’s funny, I do remember the story, but I can’t find it across multiple search engines (obviously Bing are going to block it so DDG can’t find it, but I also tried startpage, searx, ecosia as well)
Can you point me to any links or give me a few more search terms to help finding it ?
What the actual fuck is “Europe doesn’t/didn’t want to help the US avoid their current fascist dictatorship” supposed to mean ?
What exactly do you think European countries should have done to stop Mango Mussolini being elected ?
Send in German troops to the red states to stand next to the ballot boxes and turn away MAGA voters ?
Send Keir Starmer to hand out leaflets for Harris at the Walmart in ButteFuck Wyoming ?
You dumb fucks voted for him, we can’t fix that for you. We certainly can’t send military in - the US has spent 50 years persuading and forcing the EU to be militarily weak (and 10 years bitching about the consequences of their own diplomatic efforts)
Piss off with this idiocy.
Guys don’t get sucked into the misdirecting packing - this is nothing to do with keeping children safe. Better parental effort isn’t going to make this UK govt stop the initiative because it has absolutely nothing to do with child safety.
This is about authoritarian tracking of everything a UK citizen does and says online - that’s why the careful quote is about it being ok for adults to have VPN not kids.
You know how they do that ? They make it necessary to show ID to have a VPN so then they can track what the adults are doing on a VPN.
The “think of the children” pearl clutching is a sham and a scam
Please tell me you forgot the /s ?
Well it’s an epithet I use because it appropriately mocks a govt who were elected on a groundswell of “we’ve had the Tories up to the back teeth” and then preceded proceeded to do things even the Tories shied away from. I dunno where Starmer & Streeting got the idea that being a Poundland Reform was going to endear them to voters but the polls answer the question. That and the fact he’s filled his Cabinet and the Human Rights board with TERFs, cracked down on protests worse than the Tories have previously done and generally made the worse parts of the Conservative party seem like reasonable people. I can’t recall who it was but a former Tory minister criticised him a couple of weeks ago for going too far on authoritarian crackdowns. Hell the welfare changes he walked back were ones the Cameron govt considered and rejected for being too extreme.
edit, incorrect word selection correction
Which based on the last 12months of Queer Harmer’s govt seems to be a fairly accurate position
AsteroidOS is a linux based replacement for wearOS (android for watches) which is FOSS and removes all the google privacy issues.
How do you attack a large number of individuals engaging in stochastic violence unconnected from each other?
The same way every oppressive regime has.
Look to history and there have been some succesful insurgencies, there’s also been a LOT of oppressed populations ground down into compliance. Random individuals operating on their own have never to the best of my knowledge achieved significant change. Groups of people working in cells to minimise infiltration and quisling risks however have.
I am glad you are optimistic, and I wish you luck in your endeavours. I certainly would like to see your fascist regime fall.
So…those with a monopoly on violence will use it ruthlessly against any disorganised violence. Have a look at Stalin’s Russia, Hitler’s Germany and Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
The only way individual citizens with small arms will have any impact on organised groups with automatic weapons, armoured vehicles artillery and air support is if they one get seriously organised in an underground fashion and two convert some of the military groups to their side.
If they don’t do both those it’ll just be massacres and wholesale internment in concentration camps. The MSM have already shown they’re happy to whitewash whats going on, so you’ll never hear about the majority of extra-judicial killings until years later if ever.
The US has about 3 months left to raise a serious resistance, otherwise the show is over and the fat lady is singing.
Because they think they have the vast majority of those institutions with the ability to inflict violence on their side.
And from where I’m sitting, it looks like they’re right
I could be wrong but I think you’ve misread it. In context they’re saying it’s crazy to exclude a microwaved caesar salad (the section about hot vs cold). I.e they think a microwaved salad SHOULD be included.
Now realistically what I assume they meant was microwaving the chicken before putting it in the caesar shouldn’t make it not a salad (fair enough) but it’s not what they actually said.
Edit to paste in the full section
"This is actually a pretty strange definition. It includes things like a plate of mixed nuts, but excludes a caesar salad which you stuck in the microwave for two minutes.
While people might object to serving a hot salad, it certainly seems bizarre and objectionable to exclude it from the definition simply based on temperature.
We conclude that this definition does not meet the necessary rigor for a proper salad definition, "
If you google Tankard-Reist you’ll find it’s not a conspiracy theory - she has actively tried to block queer representation at every level in every way for decades
I stopped at the line where they said
"This is actually a pretty strange definition. It includes things like a plate of mixed nuts, but excludes a caesar salad which you stuck in the microwave for two minutes."
Anyone who puts lettuce in a microwave is an abomination - you will end up with a slurry of slimy fibre and some hot water. I’d rather eat pond scum.
Lol yeah that’s been done. Someone also shat a big jobbie in several of the holes a few years back iirc
Umm I live here, and I am not underestimating how loathed he is, we detest him. I still don’t think there’s a periwinkles chance in a supernova that any of us will shoot him. That’s more an American thing.
There will however almost certainly be creative chants at protests drawing links between him and Epstein and probably a lot of people calling him all sorts of names everywhere he goes.
The only way there will be violence is if his entourage starts something, we’ll make sure we finish it.
Lol. Not in Scotland he won’t, not unless the Iranians send over a hit squad
I was always under the impression that most Arch-derived distro were not really user friendly.
Installing Arch from scratch is user unfriendly. Arch via a bundled distro (Endeavour, Garuda etc) is no different to install than the majority of Linux distros (ie pretty straight forward).
Usage wise the “user friendliness” once installed will more come down to what desktop environment (DE) you choose than the underlying distro. The only “heightened degree of difficulty” attached to Arch is that it is rolling release so the flow of updates is constant and you are expected to be aware of the implications of what you are updating (which in practise for me comes down to being subbed to the arch-annouce email list) and practising good backup hygiene so you can rollback if needed.
Endeavour OS. It’s solid.
I don’t recommend Manjaro. Its delayed release but no testing methodology has caused me grief a number of times. I still run a VM with it on it, but the only VM OS that has had more issues was windows
Edit it’s /its
Just don’t piss on the rug
Good find although not the article I was thinking OP was referring to. It was more recent, within the last 12 months I think.
My best recollection was that the person had a hotmail or outlook account which was suddenly terminated following criticism of microsoft (possibly their failure to address a security issue). That account was their login/access path to a high profile foss tool. I don’t think the tool itself got taken down in this case.
Not sure how accurate the above is, it’s my vague recollection.
