or gleeful at the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk lived and died on a principle he strongly held, knowing it increased his risk of death.

As Justice Douglas wrote in 1949: "...[A] function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it presses for acceptance of an idea."

That's an interesting take especially in 1949. A scant 4 years after the end of speech causing a "condition of unrest with "profoundly unsettling effects".

Or is this like the Charlie Kirk thing where it's only a problem if the people advocating for consequences don't have to face them?

Hello from South East London. This is actually my local big supermarket.

Fuck those guys. Yeah this is one of the ways in which the UK is indeed a bit shit. This is not something I mind discussing as long as I'm not being lectured/hectored by someone divorced from reality. That's surprisingly common on the internet but I digress.

Without reference to other countries, yes the UK is a bit shit in a number of regards. This facial recognition obsession combined with a jobsworthy passing of blame and a Lovell system which only works for the wealthy and powerful is one of them

There’s also the trend of tightly integrating the RAM with other chips, creating a package with unified memory. Like on Apple Silicon. We’ll probably see more or this on the PC side as we move to ARM based PCs. Maybe on the Intel side too?

More tightly integrated “unified memory”, less slots that allow for upgrades.
