Yes, but actually no – not in this case. This case was different because the protests were targeting the thugs’ own corrupt fascism theme park, and they took it personally. They went above and beyond their usual level of oppression to try to make an example out of these patriots.

Like everything else, “facts don’t care about your feelings” was also projection.

It’s tyranny that RICO charges were even being considered in the first place.

Atlantic meridional overturning circulation

344 plus a lot more who turn around and don’t die.

Glass houses, “friend.” As an English-speaking person posting on Lemmy, your lifestyle is almost certainly 10x worse for the environment than some Sherpa’s is. And you probably serve the ultra rich too, one way or another.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Once that warmth finishes melting enough of Greenland to shut off AMOC it’ll be colder than ever.

Can you actually install your hacked version on your TV, or is it DRM’d to prevent it? That’s the only thing that matters.

Sure, because caring about users’ rights is “insane.” Because caring about societal effects of (lack of) antitrust and consumer protection law is “insane.” Because having an ounce of goddamn self-respect and not wanting to be abused is “insane.”

No, I don’t think I’m insane at all, actually. I think the people incomprehensibly arguing against me in this thread can fuck all the way off with their corporatist simping!

What the fuck? I said I don’t even actually care if the kernel is Linux or NT (or anything else) as long as it’s genuinely open so the user can modify it, and you somehow try to twist that as quibbling over distros?! Way to miss the point by a goddamn mile!

It really isn’t, though. It will still have a shitty UI that tries to shove the “smart” features in your face, it’ll probably shove some bullshit EULA in your face on first startup, and engage in other dark patterns.

I like how the US definition feels the need to include the standard unit in parentheses, but the UK definition doesn’t even bother to include the obsolete unit at all.

However, browsing it requires an active ”Profil Zaufany” (exactly translated to English as Trusted Profile) account, which is not available for registration for people outside of Poland.

According to the ministry’s statement issued in their own Public Information Bulletin, this requirement has been enforced as a part of ”recommendations issued by the Ministry of National Defence’s CSIRT team, which include the possibility of user accountability”.

Moreover, the published code cannot be easily copied over while browsing via the official website.

🙄 fucking user-hostile “security by obscurity” wankers

That’s great for the folks who have access to decades-old pre-enshittification technology and the means to maintain it, but what about everybody else?

Continuing my smart TV OS analogy, your answer is like saying just to use a dumb TV instead. There aren’t any dumb TVs anymore! The TV manufacturer cartel colluded to quit making them!

“Just go live in the fucking woods like the goddamn Unabomber, eschewing modern technology” is not a valid solution for normal people! The law must be changed to protect them from predatory abusive corporations.

Among other reasons, board members who would’ve dissented were forcibly muted in the videoconference meeting during the “unanimous” vote.

The only way to make that happen would be for Working Families to become one of the two major parties first, in order to be in a position of power to change it.

Because the distinction matters. The corporate raping of Linux has to stop being tolerated or else nothing is solved. The technical details of the kernel don’t actually matter; the licensing and openness is what matters. Hell, if the Windows NT kernel got magically relicensed to AGPLv3 tomorrow it would instantly become the superior option just because of that.

Linux doesn’t fucking matter. Copyleft matters.

So now the question is, what accountability and consequences are we going to apply to the Greek, Italian, and French officials who failed to do their goddamn jobs and aided and abetted a war criminal?

Should I use force?

Yes. You scrample fighter jets and force them down, using missiles if necessary.

Risk starting a war?

This does not follow. The war would be started by whoever illegally retaliated for a lawful arrest, not by whoever did the arresting.
