It may not be direct assistance but helicopters doing direct, low overflights is still an intimidation tactic.

I’m not denying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. I think that suggesting that the answer to genocide should be more genocide is absolutely vile.

“I oppose genocide. Unless it’s a group I dislike.”

Even if you’re not techy, you can just give your phone to a friend. The obvious downside to that is that if things go horrible and you need your phone to call for help, you can’t.

If you force your kids to sneak around, you force them into taking needless risks.

Because even his idiotic voters wouldn’t intentionally drive up their power bill. Well, some might, but most wouldn’t. But if it’s harder for consumers to make that informed choice his friends in industry can flood the American market with inefficient crap and his voters will probably blame Biden or immigrants or Jewish space lasers for their increased power bill.

Do you also turn off autocorrect? As for why I’m not proofreading my entries? I am. But typos happen. Try to put yourself into the shoes of the average office drone or consumer just using a PC as a tool. I’m pretty sure I’ve harped on this before, but most people aren’t experts or enthusiasts, they just want a working computer that’s as simple to use as possible. The benefits of a case sensitive-file system are far outweighed by how susceptible it is to user error.

I’ve used Linux, yes. And I’m not “crying” I just find it annoying. Good grief.

you should have not written them differently.

But you did.

Remember that 99% of the time that’s gonna be because of a typo for 99% users. They won’t have File.txt, FILE.TXT and FiLe.tXt, they’ll have ReportMay.docx and REportMay.docx or whatever.

And yeah, that includes me. I don’t want case-sensitivity for that reason alone. Thanks, but no thanks.

They almost certainly expected it. That’s why they’ve tried to cosy up to him, to get exemptions for their businesses.

Two bad things can be true at the same time.

Israel is currently engaged in ethnic cleansings in Gaza and the West Bank.

True.

Many of Israel’s neighbours would “drive the Jews into the sea” if they ever got the chance.

Also true.

The answer to genocide is not inviting more genocide.

And yes, nukes are effective as a deterrent. Look at how reluctant the West is to support Ukraine against a genocidal invasion because of Russia’s repeated nuclear threats. There’s no way any country is going to give up its nuclear weapons after Ukraine showed just how little security guarantees from the great powers are actually worth.

Yes. Unsolicited dick pics are sexual harassment, regardless of who you’re actually sending them to. Also, I wouldn’t put it past people running scams like this to try and use your dick pics for blackmail.

That’s because NTFS isn’t case-insensitive. If it was there’d be no two folders. Windows is a case-insensitive operating system running on a case-sensitive file system. It’s pretty clear Microsoft wanted case sensitivity and then realised how much legacy software that’d break.

On the one hand, yikes. On the other hand it’s probably good that she doesn’t vote, considering her views.

Mike Pence’s advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), opposes Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing concerns about his inconsistent abortion stance.

Killing children after birth by spreading vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories is fine, though.

But Fukushima did render a fairly large area uninhabitable, and the ongoing cleanup is still costing billions every year.

Also, there’s still no solution to nuclear waste beyond burying it and hoping that no one digs it up.

Renewables exist, and, combined with upgrading the grid and adding sufficient storage facilities, can provide for 100% of electricity demand at all times. Without any of the risks associated with nuclear power (low as they may be, they exist), and without kicking a radioactive can down the road for hundreds of generations.

Rats are smart.

If all apps that you want to use work, there’s no reason for you to be concerned.

The entire eastern block adopted Lysenkoism.

The USSR also abused medical science to imprison dissidents in mental institutions based on false diagnoses.

As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.
