Saying that Notch supports a campaign sounds like a smear against it. There are a million other voices this campaign could have quoted before his.
Don’t wait, you’ll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!
Why not just run a community build of Firefox, like IceCat?
I feel so tiny next to some of the big numbers in here. My top ratio is 11.64x with 1.3TB up. But the current setup has only been up for two months.
Why can’t it just be a website? Why does everything have to be a fucking “app”?
I stay away from torrent files, preferring magnet links only. Seconding the other user’s suggestion of backing up appdata to preserve your torrent library.
Laws don’t even have to change if nobody is enforcing them.
Language parsing engine working as intended.
It’s propaganda.
Well then call me the outlier, cause I’m a childless man who has been happily working remote since before covid. I’d rather be jobless than go back to office work. I have a small group of non-work friends that I enjoy spending time with, and back when I did office work the majority of my friends were not work friends.
Not to incidentally glorify a bunch of aristocratic slave owners, but I think that’s exactly the sort of shortcut that the founders of the USA didn’t want us to be making, and I do agree with them on that matter. I’d rather have long, hard, good-faith conversations over how to safely and responsibly have as much freedom and individual autonomy as possible without infringing on the same for others, than give up access to specific objects and actions piecemeal in an ostensible attempt to curtail our lowest common denominators.
In terms of outcomes, there are about 400 million guns in the US and about 283 million cars. Yet gun deaths and car deaths have kept pace with one another for about a decade with roughly 45K annually for each, with guns recently edging out cars during covid. Statistically speaking, a gun kills at a rate of 11.25⁻⁵ Americans per year, while a car kills at a rate of 15.79⁻⁵ Americans per year.
However, I hope you’ll agree with me that we shouldn’t ban cars simply because they are capable of violence.
Well go on, show me the violent crime stats by country so that we can compare to semiauto long gun regs. It would also be nice if we could see before and after stats but I know that’s a tall ask and I’m not trying to be a sealion. Let’s just see violent crime stats, maybe just homicides per 1 million or similar. It sounds like you have access to this data.
Don’t show me only the mass shooting stats. We’re not trying to reduce mass shootings, we’re trying to reduce violence. We’re not trying to avoid having to see guns, we’re trying to avoid having to see bloodshed. I know, I know. You want to point out that mass shootings are a vector of violence that can be remedied by removing guns. This is true, taking away rights does mute a lot of issues related to irresponsible management of those rights. But you’ve been brushing off my suggestions that there are more just and fair ways to address that vector for this entire conversation. So let’s table that specific response of yours for now, and let’s just see the violence stats before moving on.
Nice try, FBI
And all the countries that allow guns suffer from frequent mass shootings, right? Because access to guns is the cause of social violence.
Have you ever driven a car?
Shame on you if you have. Some of those have been designed and used to kill people.
How dare you. Go live in the woods!
Overview of gun laws by nation
Even I am surprised by how many nations have a legal pathway to semiauto ownership. Also for the record, I think that firearm licensing programs are generally a good idea, and driver licensing programs provide a good model for them to follow. But few US states have them.
I think you misunderstand. I’m not trying to stan the 2A. I’m trying to point out that the US is not at all unique when it comes to private access to the sort of gun that Maryland has banned.
Literally if not for music piracy I wouldn’t have a massive vinyl library worth > $7,000, wouldn’t have gone to 100+ live shows, wouldn’t have paid $1000+ bucks for all the band merch I have, wouldn’t have evangelized countless bands to all of my friends and social network for decades. Piracy is absolutely the thing that unlocked that whole obsession for me.
