Absolute stealth hit. The last table tennis game… Man that hits hard.

I watched it expecting the same campy tropes from other fantasy/sci-fi movies of the era and what I got was a movie deeper than it lets on. That score too, amazing.

A strawman is when you take someone else’s argument and you represent it as weaker than it really is. By definition their statement was not a strawman.

It also does not appear to be an implication that OSS is a Mossad backdoor, only that the possibility is present. I presume this is based on the fact that Mossad has done this kind of supply-chain attack before (see the Iranian nuclear program, or the Hezbollah pagers) and that there have been multiple recent controversies about code inserted into OSS packages.

OSS is still the way to go, but we need better governance and best practices in a lot of organizations to make that happen. In fact if the FOSS community would help provide training and certification in this realm, it would help deal with many of these concerns.

I know someone who retired early because our ticketing system changed.

I know a neoliberal small business owner who was complaining that his minimum wage workers aren’t as invested as he is… I told him that was obvious: they don’t benefit from the work they do, they don’t own any of the business, and there is always more minimum wage work out there. By his own ideology, why should they care about something that gets them nothing but the bare minimum and has no intrinsic value?

nobody wants to work anymore

I just fire back with “nobody wants to pay us anymore” now.

Venture Bros is probably the best I’ve seen, but I also enjoyed

• Primal
• The Tick
• Amazing Screw-On Head (only the pilot ever got made, but if you like it check out Creature Commandos)
• Megas XLR

Also if you have kids and want to watch stuff with them that isn’t brain rot, try Samurai Jack, Clone Wars (Tartakovsky’s original), and Reboot.

The simple answer: nobody is actually reading any of these licenses. I run into the problem constantly and even people who should know better do not (most of our IT staff for example…)

Using the find function on my phone browser doesn’t find it but it does come up when manually scrolling and as long as you don’t move too far the find works. I’m thinking there is some sort of rendering magic going on, would explain why scrolling is so fast.

Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is “documented” is the sheer volume of users, but that’s not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.

Excel is probably the one sore spot for LibreOffice, but also Google’s suite and really everyone else. Excel is tough to beat, especially when you consider the additional power of things like Power Query and Excel on web having JavaScript functions.

That said: I truly despise pivot tables and I no longer use them. I use lookups, countif, or other functions to display what I need, otherwise I use Power Query.

Don’t two of those say it is immoral to charge interest?

One way or another you need grid-scale turbines to maintain grid frequency. Solar power can’t set frequency and wind power is too variable, so power grids use some sort of turbine to do it.

Nuclear reactors are also necessary to generate things like medical isotopes and tritium for industrial processes, and fusion research. Someone, somewhere on Earth needs to keep their fission reactors going.

Just about every major advance in technology like this enhanced the power of the capitalists who owned it and took power away from the workers who were displaced.

How many once in a lifetime economic events is this now?

I think well adjusted people participating in their communities and meaningful action are not burning cars.

Do you buy Nestle products? Do you buy anything from Amazon? Do you drive an ICE car and purchase gas for it?

If you do any of these things you’re an evil piece of shit Nazi and deserve to have your possessions burned to nothing (per your logic)

The car still has utility to the person who owns it. It’s “real” value is irrelevant to most people so long as it does what it was supposed to do when purchased.

Once you purchase the vehicle, the damage is already done. There is nothing to gain from busting up cars people already purchased.

As someone who was raised in a conservative family but who climbed through a great many hoops to finally arrive at socialist thought: if you nutters were the left while I made that journey, I doubt I ever would have finished it.

The world has enough psychos in it, please stop hurting people who you can’t even be sure are complicit.
