And they (Boeing) get a slap on the wrist and a waggled finger.

Vouching for PopOS, which has been my primary OS for years. The only thing I run a Win VM for is the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas & Campaign Cartographer. I suppose I could tinker with Wine, but it tends to be finicky with the latter.

Constantly having issues

You’re going to see a lot of issues on Linux boards because people go to then for help. I’ve been running Linux since 2020 and though there have been hiccups, its been remarkably reliable. Having said that, when there ARE issues, it can take some digging to find answers.

Is it not stable

Moreso than Win 11, in my experience. I use Win 11 at work and I’ve needed a system wipe twice. Once because networking just… stopped… and once because appx apps decided not to load.

Ongoing issues

Plugging PopOS as a good “set and forget” distro that is easy to grasp. The workflow is very MacOS and the tweaks they’ve made make for a friendlier interface v Ubuntu, IMO.

Incels using a word offensively does not make the word inherently offensive, and by letting them reframe the word in their favor you’re giving them power they do not deserve.

When using male/female to denote biological sex, the words should not be offensive. “Were you born malr or female” in a medical settting can be vital to treatments, for example.

Generally, though, people ought to be using gender.

Part of it is either Reddit manipulating search positioning or Google (most people’s default search) prioritizing Reddit results. Searching for answers to questions often results in a half page of Reddit links. They may not be relevant, but that doesn’t become apparent until you’re there.

This may not have been an instance of it spying on you; what can you do may be similar to other searches involving privacy, but one would do well to remember thst companies have been repeatedly caught spying on users.

I’m sharing to say that whether this is an instance of spying or weird coincidence, you should absolutely assume that companies will violate your privacy at every opportunity because that’s what they’ve done.

I am 100% not taking that one for the team thanks.

Someone should tell Netanyahu that the list of human rights atrocities isn’t a fucking pokedex. You’re not supposed to collect them all.

You misspelled “terrorists.”

What happened: Israeli government began a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

What also happened: Terrorists, emboldened with the belief that they would not be punished, targeted innocent civilians for violence.

What finally happened: Nothing, authorities did fuckall because its exactly what they want to happen.

“No arrests were made.”

That’s because erasing Palestinians is the goal of the Israeli government. They will not be happy until all of the Palestinians have fled or are dead.

Sounds achingly familiar.

Realistically is more or less encoded “without ending the collusion between Democrats and Republicans.” As it stands, the system is designed to reinforce their duopolistic control… and their followers, more concerned with winning than with fundamental human rights, allow it to continue.

The sad day when the “good” choice “only” supports a systematic ethnic cleansing campaign, in deed if not in speech.

Biden is entirely beatable, but it would take Democrats stepping up and nominating a candidate that wasn’t the equivalent of soggy toast.

You know, aside from there being litttle merit to their claims and all. Israel is about as trustworthy as North Korea when it comes to their systematic ethnic cleansing.

But let’s assume they were telling the truth, as genocidal ethnic cleansing monsters are prone to doing.

13 employees of 30,000 were accused of aiding HAMAS. That’s 13 / 30000, or 0.0043% of the employees. Do tell me how that’s sufficient justification to bar aid for millions.

Hint: It isn’t, unless you are using it as a pretext.

You know what else is over the top, you evil old fuck? Cutting off 350 million in aid to refugees because Israel lied and claimed relief workers were HAMAS.

Biden is banking on his sycophants taking him at his utterly worthless word.

As soon as the system doesn’t shitcall over anyone who isn’t the anointed from the elite reds and blues, I suppose. Maybe next run of this simulated world?
