With the amount of people saying Trump’s doctored the files, just position yourself as much an enemy of Trump as you can. Then you can declare yourself framed if anything incriminating appears, using your brazen demands to release the files as evidence.

Essentially turning the matter of your innocence into a partisan issue means you guarantee the support of a good portion of libs, and gives your friends in high places a good excuse to let you off.

Even if you were extremely generous and conceded that all these baseless, vague accusations were true, they’d be significant improvements over the current government.

Like oh no a political party that supports state violence, supports authoritarian regimes, has cult-like behaviours, platforms fascists, has opaque funding and suppresses protests, unlike the current parties which uh… well, uh… all that, but way worse, and way more intensely, and more, extremely evil things, such as constantly doing fucking genocide.

Given Stalin’s bike is missing a pedal, he’s gonna really benefit from that silky smooth bike path

This is the equivalent of sticking your head in a bucket of water and then complaining that the atmosphere doesn’t help you breathe.

At some point, you at least have to enter the door of the metaphorical happiness store and try to buy some happiness.

Not a popular opinion for Linux shillers, but I love GNOME. It’s quite simplified but does most what a normal person could want. I think its main criticisms largely stem from saying it’s not very "Windows"y.

Here’s another one, but he’s ANGRIER

I’ve gone the complete opposite way. I used disposable jobbies for ~10 years, but switched to a safety razor 2-3 years ago and it’s been way better and faster for me. Not to mention like… 20-100x cheaper and the environmental bonus.

As others have said, both disposables and safety razors vary significantly in quality, I’d recommend doing more experimenting yet. Disposable razors have a lubrication strip on them which makes a big difference, so there may also be a shaving soap factor.

Old Dahomey/Benin used to have a variety of cool-ass elephant flags

It’s a elephant but in a crown

Ah, sorry, I think I perhaps worded the last point poorly. I meant it’s equally if not more important [than unspecified other things] in achieving a successful socialist victory. Yes the socialist revolution is absolutely a necessary precondition.

Whataboutism except the what about is purely fictional

That is funny. But as a non-USAian, I do think the analogy of a “nothing burger” is surprisingly apt.

The bread bun is bait claims and vague implication on top, and rage comments below, with no actual content to back it up. We can all imagine the disappointment and dissatisfaction of eating a nothing burger, I think that emotional response significantly matches the response of feeling your time was wasted by a story that has no meaningful content.

I’m tempted to make something like this, a professional suck up company, invite lots of bourgeois wealth, then do a sudden heel turn.

My issue with people obsessing over it, as is my issue with a lot of things, is a lot of missing the woods for the trees.

99% of libs I know are suckered into “oh yeah but once we prosecute the named people everything will be fine” and not “this is a systemic issue maybe we should consider forms of society that prevent that kind of consolidation of sick power.”

That being said, I still think it’s a good radicalisation moment. It’s just one that needs seizing on and framing correctly.

Horrifically rage-against-the-next-generation bait that’s just a nothingburger, yes, four year olds will slide their hand on pages, that’s normal.

Not sure why but the UK has been big on this thing lately, but it’s always without any significant evidence of ‘worsening’ beyond vibes.

If you actually look at the numbers, the 2020 annual report suggest 46% of kids weren’t school ready, while this year’s suggests that’s 37%, a huge decline. 87% of staff in 2020 said they had at least one non-toiled trained student, so it’s not some magical new issue. Any ‘increases’ I can see over the past 5 years are completely within range of error and not statistically significant.

And this is primary school, so we’re looking at students from age four.

Is there improvement to be made? Sure. But let’s not pretend there wasn’t always improvement to be made, or that today’s parents are somehow magically more awful than before.

Well… then what did I lose in its creation?

Yeah, I’d be willing to do that to write a trillion pieces of ultra-advanced software that fulfils every possible need.

Then I’d monetise enough of it to live comfortably, and then do projects in my own time and actually enjoy them.

Give the results a score 1-7, and they’re sorted by average, almost certainly.

It can be a pain if you’re doing all the coding yourself in a non X-Platform language, but I think(?) that’s not very common nowadays.

My real frustration is when Indie devs literally use like Gamemaker, Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc and these tools basically all come with very functional native Linux binary export functions, but they don’t bother.

Would be vastly more interesting to see what… basically any other nationality than American, would say. Can’t imagine a single country population agreeing there’s that much leftism there.

Calling anyone here ‘far-left’ is utterly derisible.

Then I have no idea what you’re referring to by ‘what google is doing to android and tried to do to web’ because as far as I know, that isn’t relevant.

What I’m describing is definitively not antivirus. Antiviruses use heuristics (and known checksums of bad things) to scan processes/files/network traffic/system calls for dangerous patterns. They’re not doing real-time checksuming to detect system corruption or malfunction, they’re not comparing known system files because that’s complex and hard to do, and seems to be what the company is claiming here.

I have no idea what Google checksuming you’re referring to but as far as I’m aware that’s a not thing they’re doing to android and trying to do web. Everything Linux (including Android) does some amount of checksums at certain points because they’re useful, but not real-time process checksums. I assumed you were surely referring to them requiring that apps get signed by their certificates, making everything subject to their approval. Which is different from realtime checksumming for integrity.
