Doing it for personal use, without profit or gain, is supposedly illegal. Doing it for profit certainly appears to be legal.

It’s completely illegal.

Who’s gonna do something about it? The FBI?

It’s really shocking to me, from the US, that this is a compulsory fee and not a tax. It’s like they want people to hate and resent it. I guess it hurts poor people? IDK.

They aren’t gonna beat up white people about this. not yet. It could be coming but it won’t happen yet.

But substitute in “racism”.

My man, very very little is being asked of you and your response is to lecture about how wrong the askers are in their asking. Are you going to be an ally to people in need or are you going to be an ally to whiteness?

You literally cannot.

This isn’t about you.

White people’s race does play into this, same as non-white people’s race does. If you’re white (passing) it’s unlikely the ice is gonna show up and throw you into a van.

Trying to make this about you is shit. Nobody cares.

They really want it we gotta fight them off. It’s tough because they have all the resources and institutional backing, but they are particularly stupid and inept so it’s not a foregone conclusion.

We need everyone, not just one person. Don’t get me wrong, what he did was praxis and it did have an effect. I don’t see that solving all our problems by itself, though. Diversity of tactics and all that.

If the app is running on the same machine Windows is you haven’t gone far enough, that’s all i’ll say.

They used to claim gay people caused hurricanes, too. Same fucking bigotry for decades.

sudo !!

Will also run the previous command with sudo, fwiw.

Yeah that telecommunications part is working out great right now, huh? Well, i guess we just gotta keep fighting them.

Yeah, Bush did jack shit while his minions ruined everything. The show may be better this time but that doesn’t mean it won’t be destructive. Still, we can hope.

Let’s not forget, on that note: Biden picking him was bad but so was Obama nominating him to the SCOTUS to begin with. Replacement for Scalia or not, we see what that led to. Garland getting on the Court wouldn’t really be making a difference there either.

I mean, getting rid of Franken was reasonable. Refusing to challenge the Republican creeps has… well… resulted in a government of mostly creeps and that’s not where i want to be. (Admittedly that specific piece is not specifically the Democratic Party’s fault, though they could have done more. Not using the moral leverage they got by booting Franken was an unforced error.)

I’m glad to see i’ve been pronouncing it right all these years.

The Dems don’t even play by the rules. They play by some made up rules that exist only in their heads and boil down to “you’re not allowed to oppose the Republicans in any way that matters”. There’s tons of legal and ethical stuff Biden could have done in the last four years and here we are, sitting on our asses in the sinking ship, waiting for the water to rush in and drown us all.

Yes.
