They didn’t tell us the age of the assailant last time or the victim. I’m guessing they tend to choose words for the headline that might have the most impact.

“White Swiss man wielding a machete attacks other Swiss people and injures possibly white Swiss baby” Just doesn’t seem to really fit in a headline.

Adobe basically invented the SaaS model. It’s not really practical to bootleg most Adobe products anymore either so most people break down and just pay the million dollar a year subscription fee so they can keep using it.

That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.

The developer can’t force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn’t tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.

This isn’t a problem with the app It’s a problem with the Apple.

Some of the largest protests the world and specifically America had ever seen took place during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars drawing incredible numbers of people all across the country to protest. Our government got violent putting down a lot of those protests and The News largely just didn’t report it.

It’s just harder to hide shit now, but a lot of people seem to discount how much power the TV had over what people thought was going on outside.

My father used to make fun of me for saying that I could hear the TV on even if it was muted, or that I could hear the furnace ‘scream’ before it came on.

One year, I got as a gift for Christmas, a handheld recorder and a fancy microphone from my stepfather a university music professor And that recorder could actually record the sound which he was able to show me on the computer.

That was like 25 years ago, I’ve been working with computers ever since, and now I am familiar with many many many devices that make high pitch whines.

That would be a good protest sticker to add as an amendment. Just the words “to stop the slaughter”

If I could get Apple devices in an open compatibility I wouldn’t hate them I probably still wouldn’t buy them though.

My hatred comes from the fact that I believe critical thinking and mental flexibility are very important skills for people to develop at a very young age. I think one of the most important avenues for the development of reasoning and technical skills is through interaction with technology.

That technology should encourage and reward your curiosity. Apple does not reward curiosity or encourage it, it taxes it to such a degree that Apple users are by and large technologically illiterate.

I grew up on Apple computers, and when I was little the Mac nerds we’re doing some pretty cool and impressive shit with their Mac tech that you just can’t do now. It was a gateway to me learning about a lot of this technology, but they are a walled garden now, and it gets worse every year.

A large part of my job is helping young people and seniors learn how to use technology. Apple makes that much more difficult because Apple stuff only works the Apple way none of it translates to any other technology.

Whenever I talk to somebody who doesn’t know what a folder is, what a browser is, that when they download files they go to a place, how to share content with non Apple users, how to use non Apple software, how to use any other non Apple technology, its because Apple wants it that way. I just don’t understand why a company this abusive would have fans.

It’s like being a fan of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Wells Fargo, or The Pinkertons. You are paying extra for fashion accessories that are objectively lower spec and with a reduced feature list than the alternative that is cheaper. The only benefit of Apple devices is the security, And that’s easily bypassed because they don’t need to compromise the device to get your information from Apple.

All of the data harvesting of Android TV can be blocked with ease. None of the closed ecosystem, price gouging, or feature rot of Apple devices can be worked around in any way.

If you’re content with the limited offerings available on Apple devices and the exorbitant prices you have to pay to get access to them then by all means continue to fund that nightmare company and it’s war on consumers.

It’s hard to imagine that police in Korea have solved all the crimes with victims and now have enough time and resources to go after victimless crimes so vigorously they drove people to suicide.

Maybe the police need their priorities straightened out.

Don’t buy apple’s expensive garbage. If you are thinking about getting some Apple TV device you should get a shield, an Android TV, even a raspberry pi 4b would be better than bending over for apple.

Just stop giving that fucking company your money.

Forced military service in an ethnostate engaged in genocide is a pretty righteous thing to oppose.

Conscription is yet another good reason to stop finding or enabling Israel’s psychotic march to the sea.

The energy cost to build the car in the first place will never be offset by the usage it will see. You personally might be saving on fuel costs but the energy it costs to refine and build those things taken together with the opportunity cost of what doesn’t get built because of the limited supply of resources needed to make those batteries and the whole thing becomes much more of a gray area.

Electric cars aren’t here to save the planet they’re here to save the car industry.

More arcade style multiplayer hack and slash RPG stuff in the spirit of gauntlet dark legacy or even something that stretches the concept like Armada 2 and makes it a space-based drop-in drop out multiplayer free-for-all frenzy that’s just for fun.

Is this different than how Israel sees all Palestinians as Hamas? … Because Israel has made it clear that it won’t stop bombing Gaza until all of Hamas is dead and it looks like they won’t believe they’ve done that until there’s no beating hearts left on that side of the prison walls.

Really dig in her heels on the idea that 50% is not equal to 1/2. Thinking she must be joking I wrote a two-page proof explaining all of the reasons why 50% is equal to 1/2 and she was more than a little bit mad at me for not letting it go…

I ended up having to appeal to her department chair who walked into the room during my class, sat down at her computer, changed my grade on that test, and said to her, “I really shouldn’t have had to come down here to do this myself. I don’t want to have to come down here again. I’m asking you to drop it.”

She didn’t say another word for the rest of that class period and was not in school the next day. For the life of me I can’t understand what the fuck she was thinking was going to happen. Math doesn’t recognize opinions or authorities outside of math and she should have known that.

The only way to prevent a coup is through national domestic tranquility coupled with unchallenged military supremacy. Since we have yet to see such a thing emerge on Earth, it’s governments are still subject to being violently overthrown, sometimes publicly, sometimes covertly.

America and more broadly western money doesn’t really tolerate the locals to participate in the democracy in countries that might come to the wrong conclusions democratically. In those situations, we install a management layer into their government that is easily mistaken for vassal state puppetry by the people who actually see it in action.

From the perspective of the locals, this ‘democracy’ was installed by an externally funded military coup and is a tool of foreign hegemony. Democracy is what we wrote on the package, but it’s not what they got when they opened it up.

Edit: I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these coup leaders were trained by American military.

They decided to fake their own outrage when they decided to pretend the accusation is more inappropriate than the behavior that drove the accusation.

As an participant in the national dialogue it is absolutely my responsibility to identify when people are not being honest in conversation and to respond to that and not to their superficial presentation.

I don’t decide if they’re genuine or not I decide if I believe they are genuine or not. I don’t have to presume they are acting in good faith or with honest intentions. They have not earned that benefit of the doubt.

1 pound telekinesis in my line of sight. You won’t be opening any safes or stealing anyone’s gun, but you can do plenty of incredible stuff with even the weakest supernatural power.

I think I would be robbing casinos and thumbing the scale all over the place. It doesn’t take much to make marginal opportunities into steady gains if you can cheat physics and break probability.
