Some random asshole on the internet had a similar challenge when it came to not generalizing 300,000,000 people and sadly failed their challenge :'(

As long as you remember that the cloud is just someone else’s computer that they have admin rights on.

In contrast, banks all universally moved to single page apps lately, and every one of them sucks. Some suck more (we don’t support you having more than one tab open while you are researching stocks) and some suck less (what is the back button for, anyway? Just ignore it). But they all suck.

And yes, users do care about using shitty stacks when they make shitty results.

It’s on his Wikipedia page, this isn’t something you have to try hard to identify.

You posted a thing celebrating a sociopath for using Linux. I think you need meds.

Ghost might be better for you, as it’s aimed to be a more complete distro with an installer and desktop environment.

I mean, you computer’s wifi still won’t work, but at least you’ll have a nice UI to show you all the ways it does not work.

No, very clearly not.

I’m commenting on the effectiveness of a course of action.

Are we not in the same thread?

What’s your retirement age now?

But genuinely, I’ll accept that as generally true. One issue we have that you don’t is you can get to the actual capital of power in like 5 hours from anywhere in the country. A very large swath of the more liberal population of this country lives 50 expensive driving hours or a very expensive flight away and there are very few labor protections. Most businesses are run by people who are on the side of the government, meaning you are asking folks to lose their job, fly or drive ~5000km, all to stand outside a place with armed riot police with signs. That doesn’t sound appealing, nor does it sound effective based on the violent and blatantly illegal actions undertaken by the us government in DC and Portland during the previous trump administration.

So then the question becomes: is it time for an actual armed protest. Is that the right step?

Since you asked the part that stood out was very small

I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.

Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious

Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us…with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we’re telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that’s fun.

Yep

It’s like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

You really don’t seem ok.

You criticized people for “not lifting a finger” and get mad when someone asks which finger you personally lifted? You are only allowed to criticize people for living their life if you are not a hypocrite. It sounds like of the items you listed I’d describe 60% as barely lifting a finger (phone canvas, minimal value; “vocal” online, zero value) and 40% as definitely lifting a finger (volunteering at unspecified org) which makes you not a hypocrite by my personal math.

I personally have no intention at all of answering your question because I didn’t make any statements as generally attacking as your own to start with, and feel no need to justify asking you to show your stripes.

I am not sure where guns came into play. However, I don’t think you should be owning guns: you don’t seem 100% stable given the disproportionate response, and I would worry that disproportionate response would come out while driving or other stressful activities.

But I got the opportunity to make a dumb joke about math that you seemingly got mildly butthurt about, so really it all works out.

Is there an example in the last 40 years of this working in the United States?

I said that will stop this in any way. Do you have an example of this working in the last 40 years?

What have you done to stop this?

What action would you suggest, that will stop this in any way?

Hey I’m sending thoughts and prayers, the official sponsor of not doing shit to save children from being murdered.

Edit: apparently people don’t find American child protection systems to be effective… who’d have thunk it.
