TFW you remember all the commenters quick to agree with the police who were treating Gamboa as almost certainly a would-be mass-shooter and treating the actual shooter who killed a dad of two young kids as a hero who had an unlucky shot which killed a bystander as just an unfortunate cost of safety.
People who were like “wtf you guys have this ass-backwards” were downvoted and chastised.
Assuming helps nobody. Wait for the motives to be revealed by the investigators.
There’s already a bunch of anti-Muslim statements rising on the usual places (YT, FB) because the only shooter identified so far has an Arabic-origin name.
Also called it Obongocare which made me immediately lose any empathy to them for the racism, but it is 4chan I guess.
99% likely they vote Republican based on the attitide also, which is the root cause of a lot of their complaints (min wage, shitty employee protections, expensive Internet [almost certainly one of the monopoly ISP areas], has to rely on a car because public transit is socialism).
Yeah, the Democratic party sucks by and large for many other reasons, but id rather live in a D city than an R one any day of the week. /end obligatory response to “but Dems”
I can see how that would be very helpful to some people. Thanks for explaining
Well now I’m not sure what you’re after. If it turns into brigading that’s a separate issue, and blocking one or two users from seeing your post won’t fix that, right?
I mean… I guess that’s not ideal? On the other hand, they keep wasting their time, and I get on with my life. So I’m OK with it this way.
I’m not advocating political assassination - but it does amaze me that there are ~400,000,000 guns in the USA and nobody has even taken a shot at Musk yet.
LNP increasing… Greens and ALP both decreasing.
Fuck Aussie’s are poorly-informed voters. We’ll be back to LNP and right-wing coalition govt in no time, with the last 15 years of problems blamed on the 4 years of Labor rule because ‘they touched it last’.
If I block someone - I never see their content, posts, or messages to me again.
What aspect is ineffective?
Blocking is severe, but boy is my feed clean of morons (I think I’ve only blocked like 30 people on Lemmy).
You gotta try it. Very satisfying to click ‘read all’ on your inbox now and then to clear out notifications for new (hidden) messages from trolls you’ve blocked.
I know it gets thrown around a lot, but the Dunning-Kruger effect is real and applicable to people in all fields.
WEP is insecure - that’s why it’s not used anymore.
Quite different to a secure protocol that has had some manufacturers leak keys due to poor security practices.
Don’t pay the guys on G2A for keys - they’re just reselling stolen corporate MAK keys. They’re also not legal to the terms of the EULA, so it’s not a ‘genuine copy’ for the buyer either - you may as well just use Massgrave instead of funding crooks.
To add to your list of options: you can also just leave it unactivated forever.
It’ll whine about requiring activation with a ''Activate Windows. Go to Settings to activate Windows" message overlaying the bottom right corner of the screen - but that’s it, functionality is otherwise 99% unaffected (you can’t change wallpaper… Oh no). For Windows 10 it will now stop offering updates though - same as any standard Win10 copy, so I’d again recommend the Massgrave Dev route to keep the updates coming a few more years.
Oh that makes more sense. Appreciate the explanation.
Tech giants are well known for lobbying against any legislation that gives them less freedoms to exploit markets and regulations of any kind that impact them - but this legislation that was targeted specifically at regulating them and removes a significant number of users - “this is suspicious, I think they might be the ones pushing it!”
There’s so many people in under this post trying to turn it into anything but what it is - legislation attempting to protect kids from the harms of social media. Which, again - are well documented.
They’re actually shot in the head when their shift is over and they remove the headset - to prevent leaks of Optimus being a charade.
I’m was a casual RHCP fan until that book came out, I own a couple albums.
Haven’t been able to listen to them since. It’s just lost its appeal when it’s now associated with that attitude in my brain.
I don’t get how people can ‘seperate the art from the artist’. I get that it’s potentially a valid attitude, but my brain just doesn’t work that way. Same with Jackson after Leaving Neverland.
In Australia we have this thing called school, all the kids go there.
I have kids at ages affected by this ban. They don’t care about it at all. They already communicate with their friends via iMessage and FaceTime (both unaffected by the ban), they walk to school - so they often walk with friends. Theres a small skate park near the local shops they also walk to and hang out with friends sometimes, they also walk to the shops and practice basketball with friends at nearby ovals with practice courts regularly. They go to cinemas or big shopping centres (malls) with their friends sometimes - but have to be driven there anyway so parents have to coordinate.
TLDR: the ban doesn’t affect a lot of kids at all, and they socialize more or less the same as I did when I was a kid.
The only kids heavily affected are those with Snapchat, Tiktok, Facebook and other crap that they shouldn’t be on to begin with, and are getting a huge favour done to them by removing them for a few years.
The only one that exites me is DS9:Redefined. They’re capturing and stacking the LaserDisc releases and the results are significantly cleaner and more detailed than the DVD releases. They had video examples that looked amazing, but Vimeo has now sadly removed them (were up just a couple months ago - probably Paramount abusing copyright strike).
They have reportedly uploaded all of the raw LaserDisc rips for DS9 and Voyager to Archive.org but have not yet made that link public. When they do, I expect a number of very high quality upscale projects will appear.
