I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers’ safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?

Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they’re doing no such thing.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can’t anymore.

As I said before, I was focusing on all the replies that were around when I first commented that were commenting on/advocating for Trump - that is why I said “I’m surprised how many people think Trump of all people is going to somehow handle to both Ukraine and Israel better than Biden”, because that is the sentiment I saw.

I can see how that would look like an attempt to shield him from criticism, but at the same time I don’t think I’m wrong in saying it doesn’t really matter - unless you want Trump in the Whitehouse again, Biden is the only choice…

I’m not saying I like the fact that the only two candidates we have are basically “allow the genocide to continue for the foreseeable future” or “escalate the genocide, and let Russias do what they want to Ukraine”, but that is what we’re stuck with.

The word you’re looking for there is “yet”, and that “yet” would be doing a whole lot of heavy lifting.

I’ll defer back to my initial comment - if you want to let Trump in and find out, you’d better be ready to shut it when he does worse.

That’s odd, because if you bothered to look any further down you actually would see comments talking about Trump, and there were more before.

But that aside, you’ll find that’s because I’m not advocating for Biden - any more progressive candidate would’ve been better, but that’s not what we got. What I AM advocating is against Trump - I hardly think I need to explain why.

Since it’s basically impossible for an independent to win, if you don’t want Trump, your only option is Biden. That’s it, whether we like it or not.

Damn, you must’ve dug deep for that scathing nickname - but do you seriously think I’m wrong?

It doesn’t matter what could have happened, who could have done what, the situation is that your choices are Biden or Trump, and one of those is a whole lot worse than the other, despite what some other people commenting on this post think.

Well somebody ought to tell them that they should maybe put that +1000% margin they make on their drugs into that rather than lining their pockets.

God forbid the executives make a little less money - won’t somebody think of those poor multi-millionaires! /s

…

At the point where Putin can quite easily have any popular opposition stricken from the ballot, imprisoned, or worse still coincidentally fall from a building or endure some “freak accident”, is there all that much use in pretending any opposition ever had a chance to win?

The absolute gut-punch at the end of Jurassic Bark still kills me every time - the only silver-lining is that Bender’s Big Score gives Seymour the ending he always deserved

Dude - you’re either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you’ve just said, or you’re trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it’s the latter

True, I’d never laugh at some that got done in by life - but they made their own bed doing something obviously stupid, so I have no qualms laughing

As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed…

Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won’t/can’t do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.

No, my point is that they’re lost causes and they’re untrainable.

Ah… I still don’t get how that’s meant to refute the previous person’s point that elitism and the “git gud” attitude around Linux contributes to it’s inability to become mainstream.

If anything your reply only reinforces their point, because you seem to be suggesting we throw anybody who struggles to learn it to the curb.

Is your point meant to be that these people who already have trouble learning GUIs would somehow have an easier time intuiting command line?

If that’s correct, that’s an absolutely BS argument
