I have my reasons to suspect it’s a kangaroo court. The people who are truly in power are pulling the strongs. He is a Zionist and his son is a settler in Israel, so it seems to all align. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Guys, this judge was hand picked to give the results the admin wants.

Rising fascism all over the place, what can possibly go wrong

So what exactly is wrong with X11? I find X to be absolutely great, and it is great for me to use POSIX apps across multiple architectures and systems.
Like what is it about Wayland that absolutely shits on X11 and makes people want to ditch X?

This is it right here. I can’t believe the nonsense I’m reading in this thread. Just goes to show how absolutely uninformed most people are when it comes to security and privacy

I guess I find it confusing because (for me), the term liberal was used as a synonym for a lefty. I know left of US “liberals” don’t like liberals, but that’s more of a recent revelation to me

Fuck off Benny. Either answer the question or move on if you have no desire to have a conversation

I think the world liberal is used… Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both “sides” answer to the same overlords

Correct

Why do you use the liberal label? I’ve been hearing this “China bad” shit from the right for years

My experience has been that computer science is a huge umbrella term to normies. Many people, including hiring managers seem to thing computer science is more of a trade education where people come out knowing everything about excel, windows, PowerPoint, file conversions, obscure knowledge of ancient software, expertise in setting up enterprise printers, etc

I was developing software for a position I was in, and everyone was shocked I was a developer… (It was a devops job where everyone basically edited yaml or json files all day long…)

People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I’ve had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It’s so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.

Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don’t believe you

Republicans live in blue states also

But are the wine producers Republicans? I tend to find they are

We spent way more than one Trillion…

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

Right - first option survive the storm, next option… Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I’m stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP’s point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is… Horrific

I’ll take a stab at it:

• Local businesses will suffer across the board, might lead to this poor fella maybe loosing his already shit job.

-There won’t be another job for him to take (see first point).

-He makes shit money so he has nothing saved up.

-social nets and government help is being systematically wiped out.

-It’s the streets now, and for many others like him. Where does this lead? Massive uptick in crime, and a lot of crime everywhere. Everyone is fucked - those who currently care and those who currently don’t care.

My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I’m arguing bigger picture. I’m not saying your wrong or I’m wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don’t think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I’m just saying they were always there

It’s still the same bullshit - people looking at text on their terminals. Be it SMS, be it discord, etc. people looking at images, listening to music, etc. inb4 “durr durr no 4k res in 95”, no shit

I really don’t know what your crusade is with this topic, but I actually do have(and still use) the same computer I had in the late 90’s - SGI Indigo2 Extreme I got when I bought Alias PowerAnimator. Me and you were absolutely not doing the same stuff with our systems
