Do you all remember the public freak out when Target said they were de-gendering their toy isles

Just because its not democratic does not make it fascist. When you throw words around hap hazardusly they lose meaning.

This is what happens when you only read the headline.

All his fixers went to jail, no one wants to be the next fixer to get thrown under a bus

I find it hard to condemn this act of physical violence when Charlie Kirk was so willing to engage in acts of emotional and violence.

Although, having watched some of the things Mr Kirk said, I think the man might have had some mental health issues (dude was convinced angels and demons were influencing polotics), and I do consider myself a advocate for the mentally ill. So, in that framework I have say "This was the tragic result of a mentally ill man being miss treated by a society that does not value mental health enough".

I feel like Linux right now is where Windows was in the XP days. for 90% of users it will work out of the box for them. They will be able to check their email, watch YouTube, doom scroll on their choose social media. The challenge is that for the other 10%, the learning curve is a lot steeper than XP was. The learning curve problem is compounded by the massive pile of guide for deprecated sub systems.

between the toxic communities, over monetization, and this kind of crap, I have been done with online competitive games for years. Anti-Cheating is going to always be a cat and mouse game, with the cheaters winning all the time. Anti-Cheat will always be reacting to whatever the new method of cheating is and humans are very innovative when they want to be.

Its as if law makers don't learn from history. Do they not know what happened in the 90s and early 2000s when stores wouldn't sell M rated video games or CDs with mature content labels? We found ways to get around that. We would go to stores that didn't check or care, got our older sibling or friend to buy it for us. We burned copies of our friends CDs, or downloaded stuff off line with Limewire and Napster.

Same shit when there was prohibition in the US. People drove cars across the great lakes to bring alcohol into the US. People brewed there own spirits in bathtubs with radiator coils.

If people want to anomalously watch their favorite weird kinky shit or listing to music they like, they're going to find a way. And, if the easiest way to do that is through piracy, that is what they are going to do.

I am getting the impression you have seen this meme somewhere before and are upset about it. Have you considered maybe this is a you issue? And, that some of us are seeing this for the first time?

 

I am attending a webinar in a few days, and to get credit for attending I need to participate in the pulling questions. The application is Zoom, and I do not know when or how many pulling questions there will be. Does anyone know of a way to auto respond to the pulling questions? I have time, and am totally willing to slap something together in python, so if you have an idea of where to start that would be amazing
