Your confusing a state with a people.

Hama's want to stop Israel (the state) from existing as they occupy their territory, and make them live in internment camps.

Israel wants to stop the Palestinian people from existing, because they are an inconvenience.

You can support Palestine as a people right to live, and condemn Israeli blanket bombing without supporting Hamas' shooting civilians.

Or did you also struggle with condemning British occupation of Ireland, whilst also disagreeing with the IRA bombing of civilian targets?

This is wild if true.

I loved RDR, and played the fuck out of that. RDR2 spend so much time trying to distract me from actually playing that I got bored.

I was down voted a lot for preferring the original. Thats neat that others found the first better.

On a related tangent, because I see that this is mostly discussed to death, I dont get why Americans decided to merge other unrelated words.

For example, being exhausted and the rubber circle that cars and bikes use to roll smoothly are the same word in American English whereas we (UK) use different spellings.

Tire - Being exhausted

Tyre - Round rubber wheel thing

I almost didn't make it through the intro for RDR2, 20 mins of trudging through snow.

IDGAF.

I haven't observed any problems with uBlock Origin on Firefox.

But this sounds exactly the sort of thing that machines are better at that people, so it just feels completely unsurprising that it was good at the task.

Turning multiple dials to manage speed and direction is not normally how humans interact with the world, so we can we pretty shit at it.

A basic motor is completely designed to turn like this.

This feels no different to the machine learning tools used to train on Mario a decade ago.

It goes to show that those articles that shit on Millennials are just trying to create a division.

Gen Z, we've got your back.

Nope.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.

All the "competition" still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

Completely disagree. This is how it works, Microsoft get software for free but they have no authority to prioritise other people's scheduling

So you don't understand what a monopoly is?

Because you don't have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

Interesting back story.

Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.

Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.

You're getting confused with Windows.

Fedora isn't Windows.

Nah, someone is just using their torrent client as an F grade *arr and nbz360 solution.

All the "features" listed as Pros is just bloat.

They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.

While this is true, learning some kind of programming - shell scripting or BASIC in olden days - is a very useful endeavor.

And learning sewing is useful, but I dont need it to wear clothes.

This question makes no sense.

Most Windows users are not technical enough to do component upgrades. And yes they get money from new system sales.

Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.

When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don't distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.

mobile website exists if you really need mobile access to your bank.

This isn't actually always true.

How? It can't even handle copy/pasting text without fucking up the formatting.

Creating new SharePoint sites whenever you start a chat so that you have a whole new way to lose your documents?

Better alternative? Pretty much any other chat app.

No one does that.

It's also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.

Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.

I thought Linux was about choice

[Edit] Sorry I've just picked up Sync and the UI has apparently confused me. I was trying to respond to this comment.

Let's see whether XXTDZ gets suspended for selling fake goods.

Ah, but these numbers come from this past election.

If we had PR then people would be more likely to vote Green because you don't have to be tactical. Your vote goes to a Green seat, rather than voting for another party to keep Tories out.

Linux support.

No, Microsoft don't allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.

People don't know it's Linux, but it's absolutely because of Linux that it works.

Also, "not blonde" considering the typical Hollywood stereotypes.

Hang on, the description was about possums, but the title is in an opossum group, and your comment is about an opossum.

I'm going to have actually look up whether it's opossums or possums that have a smooth brain.

Nvidia didn't want to play nicely and give standard APIs.

Their work around was other extensions that don't actually do what's needed, but sort of works in some scenarios.

All the GPUs I've used work fine, it's a Nvidia throwing it's toys out the pram situation which should hopefully get resolved as they open source the high level drivers and so the correct APIs can be implemented.

I didn't think they were planning on bombing Musk...

Like?

If there is something missing, add it either as an issue or a PR in the project.

https://github.com/mpsq/arewewaylandyet

It would help your case when saying that it's not ready. It might also inspire people to fix it if they see something that is missing.

It died a long time before that.

Yeah, you are already running Windows.

If you still consider Windows Update malware then you completely missed the other 90% of your hostile environment.

Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?

The real problem here is that Americans just keep arming everyone, so then you have crazies with the guns.

Pretty sure those are all things that Musk stands for.

The cybertruck is the pinnacle of funding for his shitty views.

Funny jokes are welcome.

That was more the type of thing the annoying kid at the back of the class shouts out, where even their friends tell them to shut up.

Not to defend them, but it was trivial to remove the adverts and they stopped after the "feedback". Unlike Windows.
