Suck them both.

Well, I can't know that, can I? All I can see is the "by Anonymous Coward" you're hiding behind.

But to answer your allegation anyway, no, I haven't watched it. It's a little too close to home. There is a child prone to tantrums that was given the button to nuclear weapons parked just south of me. You'll forgive me if I exercise a modicum of "head in the sand" and not watch a movie depicting what I am genuinely worried about.

Ah. So I take it that comment hit the mark. Right on both counts? (far from civilization and a trump supporter).

Just to put all replies in a single place, this is to one a few messages up...

Well, one might hope that the mid-terms will pull his teeth, but he's a) spent two years pushing the boundaries of what a president can do without legislative authority, and b) shown a willingness to park troops in your own cities and has openly threatened to use them if local votes don't go his way. A poor showing mid-term and/or lead-up polls that suggest this is coming might just accelerate the timeline I proposed.

"buildings won't be moved and created just because of your romantic notions. Juvenile delusions."

You just replied to a well known bot some clown has created by training a LLM on rsilvergun's posts. And you did it by saying something really stupid. Nice work there, sport.

I am not allowed to install software on my work machine and there's an approval process. IT can have a real text editor but I can't.

Granted this is partly a problem with my employer but it wasn't a problem until Microsoft ruined software I was using daily.

And why do they keep giving them?

At this point it's natural to conclude that B1zX is run by literal Nazis.

Some bitch came along and down modded my last three comments again. What a shock. It's too bad slashdot is now anti fact and anti science.

The same Technology that made the "white man" more fit is also now destroying the environment and making us all unfit.

Ukraine can't be Nazi because it is not operated along Nazi ideals, and because the majority of the population is not made up of Nazis, not because of who sits in the big chair. Having Nazis in it doesn't make it Nazi. Nazis went all over the place, and there are descendants of Nazis who may still hold Nazi ideals all over the place. Ukraine has a neo-Nazi problem, but so does the USA. Do you call the USA a Nazi country? It sure does look a lot closer than Ukraine right now.

Probably they are tired of people's stupid fucking responses. This is approximately the first time I've pointed that out without getting downmodded, and it's not too late for that to happen either. Only one of these proposed reactors has received type approval and then NuScale decided not to build one because it wouldn't be profitable even if someone else split the costs with them. My only question is, are the people I see frothing for SMRs invested in the scams, or just so dazzled by promises of shiny shit that they will attack anyone who points out the emperor's lack of clothing? I suppose that this can only be answered on a case by case basis, but I'm having trouble imagining a credible third option.

Native means comes with the system. If you have to download it separately, it isn't native. It used to mean built in and operating without translation layers, but modern software is generally built with layers on layers from the get-go so that's no longer a meaningful distinction.

Windows' support for basic VGA mode does not constitute meaningful support for GPUs which have not been released because you can use almost none of the functionality. So sure, it "supports" them... but only well enough to download a driver for actual support. Anything supported for more than the most trivial mode actually is supported with a driver more complex than Standard VGA already included in the system.

"Linux" does not have printing support, it has support for the technologies needed to connect to a printer. "<x distribution> Linux" has printing support.

At 3% uptake, this doesn't surprise me about TS's user demographic. We all know that in the USA there is a direct correlation between distance from civilization and odds of being a rabid republican. What pleasantly surprised me was how low the Truth Social (read Kool Aid) uptake was among even the 50-ish percent that voted for him.

I still believe there will be a coup attempt at the end of his term. Or rather, a more serious one than last time. Rising possibly to the level of a short civil war (depending on how many unit commanders ignore those 'ilegal' orders spoken of recently). But this low uptake gives me hope that if actual violence breaks out that it will be short, and that the good guys will win it the end. And that it might not spill over here. Here's hoping.

I find it actually comforting that Truth Social is only at 3%. As an outsider, it's hard to tell just how large a base the truly rabid crazies have. DT seems to only make announcements there, and he pushed it pretty hard, so to see it only has a 3% uptake makes me have more genuine hope for my southern neighbour than I have had in a long time.

The capacity of the government of a large jurisdiction like California, or more particularly the US, could bankrupt someone like Musk, so I say, bring it on. Within a decade Musk would have abandoned all efforts, or, even better, be stone cold broke (frankly billionaires shouldn't exist at all, and we should tax the living fuck out of them down to their last $200 million).

We're too afraid of these modern day Bond villains when we should be aiming every financial, and probably every real, cannon straight at them and putting them in a sense of mortal danger every minute of their waking lives, so that they literally piss themselves in terror at the though that "we the people" might decide to wipe them out for good.

It doesn't. What it means is cutting through a lot of big parcels whose owners have big money, so they can be big impediments. There has to be a happier medium than this between respect for individual private property ownership and the needs of the many, but we are clearly uninterested in finding it in this country.

Are you unready or ill equipped for the conversation about making them not stab-happy in the first place? Because you leapt rapidly to throwing away the key.
