Thanks for the correction, my bad

I also agree you should not be able to call people slurs. You should be punished but not by your employer.

But neither divisive nor hateful is a slur, neither are they inaccurate statements about Kirk. NBC most likely did not take the decision to fire the guy based on ethics.

Now let’s say another news anchor grows some balls and says “Israel is committing genocide” and their channel fires them. Do you also think it’s not a violation of free speech? That they should face consequences?

I am talking about free speech, not the second amendment, morality and ethics not US law.

Does that work on the Mars colony as well?

No, you are conflating the first amendment, a limited protection of free speech, with free speech itself.

It is very much a violation of free speech, its just not illegal. It still is immoral.

EDIT: fixed second amendment to first amendment

So you are saying videogames fixed them?

If it does not require an iPhone yes, side loading is just a few taps away.

But what is this mythical app that needs side loading? There’s matrix apps even on Apple’s app store.

Because it’s unavailable to the vast majority of people?

Yes, you probably haven’t. If an entity or person does not have a presence in a country it should not be subject to those laws. Their home country should reject enforcing any penalties or extraditing their citizen. Of course the US is the most notorious and more successful in getting people that never had any meaningful relation to the US extradited.

I also don’t think the UK or an EU nation’s court should be able to try a case against a US government agency, say the FDA because they do not follow the same standards. Or even against ICE agents because they abduct people.

Democratic countries should be able to have their own laws even if larger countries disagree with them.

Do you seriously think 4chan is in danger of having the fines collected? They are just right wingers trying to spur the US government into blackmailing the UK into changing their laws to align with US sensibilities and ‘values’. Fuck that.

Fuck the censorship but a non-US government should not be tried in a US court.

I measured the heights of myself and my niece and found them to be different, clearly a double standard must be involved.

You yourself mentioned a lot of differences between corporate app stores and distros’ software repositories. Why are you surprised people rate them differently?

Perhaps because your standards are different from more Linux users’ standards.

I for example would rather take my chances with a random volunteer rather than trust a corporation that had a history of breaking laws and I know it to want to make money off me.

Does not get you control, this is just the government giving money to big corporations which is perfectly in line with actual capitalism (as.practiced, not the fairy tale version).

Real capitalists will also have no problem with the government taking over a failing company, paying off it’s debts and later selling it at a loss to them.

To be fair there were irregularities, the guy they wanted should not have even made it to the second round.

Makes sense the won’t try holding a repeat vote.

Just say it.

The second amendment only protects free speech from government actions.

Free speech is still being suppressed here.

What do you mean by chat? Because IRC has never been p2p. What existed as p2p 20 years ago and doesn’t today? I think they are all still here. It’s users that turned elsewhere but the p2p networks are still alive and well.

I have multiple times missed time with my wife and children because I wanted to get an important job filled by someone I was excited to hire. Who ghosted me.

You shouldn’t neglect your children for your job, even if it doesn’t go wrong and you are rewarded (lol) for your efforts.

Keep them on normal working ours and it shouldn’t be an issue. They are not wasting your time, you are still getting paid unless you on some moronic payment scheme. You can argue they are wasting the company’s money but that’s just the cost of doing business.

But seriously if you actually have children, you should put them first. Anything else will make you a horrible person in a lot of people’s eyes. Worst case, scenario it will make them resent you.

Windows can boot and still be fucked. User can login and still be fucked.

Explorer crash and respawn loop. Taskbar not responding. Windows failing to update and still hogging every reboot. Networking settings get fucked up.

Also booting and even logging in does not mean a person can actually use his computer for his purposes. OneDrive deleting your work files from your laptop can fuck up a guy on the go.

Of course these people are not part of a bigger organization that managed their machines, just like OP’s mom. If anything I would say your experiences in IT out you out of touch with most PC and even Windows users.

Thank God you are not forbidding anyone from working on their own distros.

Can you elaborate on how we are going to get Ubuntu and Fedora developers to work on Debian and Arch instead? Are we going to buy out IBM and Canonical?

Perhaps we 've reached that level of ignorance. Still it ain’t the same for air traffic control and law.
