We don’t, but our government seems to think we do. Seriously if we were any further up America’s ass, we’d be licking the back of America’s throat.

That said, sometimes I feel like we’re the rope in a tug of war between America and China. Though the majority of time America’s winning.

God I swear the American Christians are fucking insane.

I’ve never heard such BS before. At least not from any church I know here in Australia.

This time without incorporated companies to hide behind! They can take our money directly!

Oh there will be forks across the git-verse. There’s no way there wouldn’t be.

Also does this create precedent? - they settled, its not like it actually went to court.

It may have also been the fact that they linked to instruction on how to rip prod.keys and system firmwares. Also their instructions on enabling running copyrighted ROMs - despite the fact that Ripping game ROMs and firmware is not (unfortunately arguably, due to licencing models and jurisdiction - you will own nothing and like it.) illegal so long as it’s for personal use.

They should’ve advertised it primarily as a testing and homebrew platform, and made sure not to make too much mention of the fact it can be used to play backups. Then they can at least play the ignorance card with more confidence.

Even then though, multi-billion yen company Nintendo probably would still pull this shit and drag, drag, drag the lawsuit out for forever and a day- draining lawyers fees of money. That being the case, settling is unfortunately the only option.

Azula, is that you?

The biggest problem with statistics is it doesn’t illustrate the full picture - most men in that position don’t even realise they’re being abused, or refuse to come out and acknowledge it.

Those men don’t end up as apart of the statistic. So the statistic is more a indicator as to which gender is more likely to report their abuser, than which gender Is actually a victim.

No statistic is going to be accurate, because it generally relies on the data being available, when often not all of it is.

Man your daughter is lucky, I don’t even have a dishwasher. I am the dishwasher. I used to have one, but then we moved house.

In the end it doesn’t matter how it’s stacked so long as they come out clean - don’t forget to fill the prewash section with powder, it helps immensely.

Yeah, it’s not really teaching kids not to use it, but it will be a great teacher for how to bypass internet blocks. Young people already lie about their age on platforms, I mean I did that when I was younger.

It’s only a few steps further to change DNS or VPN to an area that allows underage and doesn’t require strict age verification.

We really need to get these guys out of the office. Why are we caring about impeaching presidents, we need to keep a close eye, catch them doing illegal shit and impeach the supreme court justices. Obviously hold off until the US has a president that can appoint good, fair judges - I don’t believe Trump is capable of that, and Biden is at best borderline capable.

Huh, I didn’t know that. Well that’s fucked.

I guess it makes some sense though - you’d want some form of backing if you’re going against the establishment, so why not the enemy of the one you’re going against?

I already thought that none of them really deserved the prize, but I guess I probably shouldn’t have been ranking them.

Wat.

The only one who even remotely deserves the peace prize is Assange.

The rest have all been sowing more division among lines than bringing people together. At least Wikileaks was invented to inform the public about shady shit going on in government.

That said it’s not necessarily been a good thing as wars can easily happen directly as a result of leaked documents. Every government has secrets. And sometimes rooting out corruption can be pretty damned violent.

However Assange never meant to sow discord, only to inform people of problems and issues that were kept under wraps - the people deserved to know this information, even if it resulted in violent rioting.

I doubt they have the sense of humour for that.

I finally switched to AMD on my main desktop. Holy crap does it just work. I went straight for hyprland over my previous XFCE based desktop.

I enjoy tinkering so having some programs that just work and some that need a little push is great for me. Gaming is pretty easy these days - games that straight up don’t run I just don’t buy, and protonDB or even the proton issue tracker and wineDB for tips and tricks.

However with DEs I tend to set one up, and keep it how I set it up. I had XFCE for a total of 3 years with no changes. Hopefully I can do the same with Hyprland. I usually only try a new one when reinstalling Linux.

In a same but more drastic vein, you’d have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it’s bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain’t installing win11 there untill I’m forced to)

I mean the main reason they do that is they have to take it seriously. If they decided to ignore anonymous tips, then how many actual situations would they fail to prevent and handle.

Swatting is just taking advantage of the fact that they have no choice but to take it seriously.

That being said, if it’s a place that gets swatted regularly or a place that’s likely to be swatted due to various reasons they should have precautions in place with people they can trust in order to double check before acting, or at least be prepared to go in with their guns still holstered.

Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub

How did you fix it?

“We didn’t, but at some point he started spending more time at my house trying to diagnose the problem than he did at his own place. Eventually we just decided to move in together”
