So why can't we call this what it is.

An attempt at election interference and throw his ass in prison for treason. For such a high profile person it should be considered no less.

Did you read the article?

He was already a special needs student with an apparently individualized education program. This doesn't sound like a "Why now?" Situation. It sounds a bit like there may be more going on, especially since the school district declined to answer when questioned about it.

You may be right that it's probably not the first sign of aggression but he's also autistic with other issues. Do you know how expensive it is to get help, how our healthcare/insurance system preys on people to take their money rather than help them, and the likelihood of this family maybe not being able to help more than they already were?

I feel sorry for the person that he hurt, but this is a mentally ill black kid getting tossed in prison because of a mental illness. Which is going to ruin him just like you said.

The judge saying he showed no remorse is bs used to paint this kid in the worst light. Well no fucking shit he showed no remorse, if he's got a bunch of mental problems that would make sense. I knew a kid growing up that was similar, he was extremely strong and even the slightest thing could set him on a rampage. His parents drained everything they had into helping him, but it wasn't enough. When the insurance stops paying what are you going to do?

I'm not saying that nothing should be done but there's more to this than "parents failed the kid with mental disabilities".

To be fair, it's also kinda dumb to point out something as an issue when it clearly wasnt, and saying "assuming the user/developer if the OS is a male" means that the person complaining is assuming that this dev was assuming something because he used the word he.

The issue was that the person decided that it bothered them so much that they needed to ask the dev to change it.

This has idiots on both sides written all over. Why is that person being nitpicky over something so stupid. Women use she/her in their writing all the time, just like men use he/him, and people with other pronouns are more likely to use what is familiar to them such as they/them.

I say this as someone with a child that has been reading books to them and noticed that an authors gender and the pronouns they use seem to correlate more often than not. Unless the book focuses on topics of or relating to understanding and accepting the differences in people. Both people are dumb in this scenario.

Edit: let me put things into a perspective that maybe some of you can understand. Let's take anything related to gender or being PC out of the equation.

I ask you to make a change to your documentation because I don't like the way you said something, then accuse you of being or believing a certain kind of way because of the grammar you used.

That is what this person did.

Now let's assume (yeah I said it) for the sake of my argument that the person doesn't feel any kind of way about the thing that they were accused of being. I'm pretty sure that person might just take offence to that. Which in this case is exactly what happened.

Had there just been a change that said something along the lines of just a simple grammatical correction. It probably would have be pushed and ignored.

In this case the dev definitely seemed like an ass, but that's not the point. The point is the whole fucking situation is stupid.

That's interesting.

Here is a better link for it that isn't pushing Google products. Not implying you are doing that, just wanted to provide a non Google link is all.

ITT is "in this thread"

I didn't read the article so I can't speak on point B lol.

When Citizens United gets overturned (i.e. never).

On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.

Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn't accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don't know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.

This is in Canada not the US.

Again, it is not a "Custom OS" you aren't installing it as an OS from an ISO. You are still required to have your own licensed version of windows and install that prior to using AtlasOS. Using it does not cause security and instability issues as long as you understand what you are doing. Yes it is stripping things from windows. It's also open source so if you were so inclined you could see exactly what is being done.

If you equate using an automated solution to do things that you could do manually albeit with a bit more work involved, then every single OS is custom the second you change anything on it.

I do use Linux for what it's worth and have been for around 20 years. I've also been working in Tech for the last 15 ish years. I wouldn't be blindly recommending something that would wreck someone's security.

Please do some research.

https://github.com/atlas-os/atlas

There's a link to their source code. They even state that you have options to what security settings get messed with. So again, as long as you READ and understand what you are doing, you aren't necessarily breaking your systems security.

Because without context it comes across as racist.

Which is exactly what these people are being when they are saying that she is a diversity hire. Basically that she was only hired because she is black/indian, and a woman, not because she is qualified.

They definitely aren't. They just passed an anti-lgbt bill and the next day a well known trans woman was stabbed to death.

I just want to point out that Bernie Sanders did condemn them for their actions. While he admits that they have a right to defend themselves (which is fair) they absolutely do not have the right to outright slaughter innocent people amounting to a genocide. Which is what they are doing.

That being said I agree with everything else you said.

Dual boot, and use something like AtlasOS to clean up the BS that comes with windows.

I have a separate drive with windows for solidworks and a few online games I play occasionally. 99% of the time I run Linux though.

That being said I understand if you game online a lot and those games don't work in Linux then that really isn't an option.

At the very least though I would check out something like AtlasOS, it works for both W10 and 11.

I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don't have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.

https://atlasos.net/

Also here's another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

https://www.xbitlabs.com/best-custom-windows-10-iso-for-gaming/

I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.

I understand that, but the whole point behind it was them making an assumption about something and proposing a change because they didn't like their term that the dev used. Yet there was LITERALLY nothing wrong with the term.

The guy definitely made an ass of himself with his responses.

Like I said, both of them are idiots over this. It was pointless to make an issue out of it to begin with, and then then the dev making it even worse didn't help.

I'm on 121.0 mobile and have no issues accessing Google.com. Not that I use it anyway but figured I'd test.

I have one of these and a dumper.

I took all of the games we have and dumped them onto an SD card. I use it for the second switch we have that our kid uses.

No messing about with swapping cartridges and taking a chance on losing one, which has already happened once.

I ended up with a V2 which is even better. No wear and tear from popping the cartridge in and out and all the games on it.

Aside from the "inconvenience" of having to push the button to roll through the games, it was worth it.

Parasite Eve

Just a note for those interested in the local play aspect of it like I was.

You don't need to create an account to play the game locally.

You can just exit out of the first menu and play the scenarios that are available.

It's not a custom version of windows.

Please make sure you do some research before you implicate things.

AtlasOS modifies a fresh install of windows to help get rid of bloat ware and some of the security concerns that MS puts in their OS.

Exactly this.

Just because you wrote your documentation a certain way, doesn't automatically mean that you feel a certain way about any particular group, or that your users are primarily a certain gender. It may just be writing what pronoun you are most familiar with.

In this particular case, we can see that the author didn't exactly make the best case for himself.

However, there was never a problem to begin with until the person that requested the change also accused the the author of assuming that the user/dev of the OS is male.

If that little bit of accusation would have been left out, and they just put a note like "grammatical correction" it may have just been accepted and moved on. Instead they asked for a change while accusing the author of feeling a certain way.

It's actually being pushed as "broken" for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.

It's probably a demand/cost offset. The demand for it probably doesn't outweigh the increased cost of adding that component. Simply not worth it for them in the long run.

At the end of the day they are still a business and there to make money.

.ml here, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.

Granted I knew nothing of the differences between .ml, hexbear, etc at the time I joined, and still kinda don't. To be fair I question what the hell im doing half the time anyway lmao.

Maybe someone that is a little more involved in the different servers could shine some light? Cause man I get frustrated seeing some of the stuff I do, even when I try to tailor my feed to certain subs it still bleeds through lol.

+1 for Connect app on Android. Got booted out and unable to log back in.

If I overdraft it pulls from another account that I have. I still get hit with an overdraft charge even though there was money in the other account to cover it. It's not necessarily as simple as you say.

You could bring up the argument of changing banks, but aside from that one issue, the bank I use has done really well by me, to include reversing a debit (not credit) card charge when there was a bad charge.

Realistically, the overdraft charge should be eliminated and banks just shouldn't allow the charges to go through unless there is a separate account that has money to cover it.

There literally wasn't a problem.

Until the person that asked for the correction literally assumed that said dev was assuming. Since thats what they said in their comment.

So I can understand being a little pissy at someone pointing to you and accusing you of assuming something. It's stupid.

I may have been a little irritated too if someone accused me of assuming something. I wouldn't have reacted the same, but I would have been clear that I in no way assume anything related to gender identity.

If the person wouldn't have put that assumption into their comment, the change may have been more likely to happen.

Instead they assumed something and got push back which turned into the scene we see now.

Ass u me... I mean it's pretty clear.

I'm curious about the stick drift thing.

I have 3 controllers, two of which I've had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that's about how long it took me to get one.

Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn't have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I'm not considering that one.

Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

I didn't at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it's likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

You're right even though you're getting down voted.

Doesn't make Uber or Lyft any less shady of a company but so many people have no idea of the overhead it takes to "run an app". They think that it's just some computers talking over the Internet that they pay 100$ a month for and not the possible 100's of thousands of dollars they pay monthly for the infrastructure to support those apps.

It's not an offline game that someone can just download and play, it's a live service that is running, plus all of the data whether financial or otherwise that is being stored on multiple levels of backups not to mention the security infrastructure that needs to be maintained etc etc etc.

That being said, I'm not defending these companies in the slightest, but for someone to just say "run an app" is a massive understatement.

Nothing is wrong with me. You've just probably never been beaten half to death or shot at unprovoked.

I have.

I hate feeling that sentiment, but having experienced thing things I have in the US, and having lived in other countries and felt safer than ever. I truly wish we didn't have the problems we have today in the US, but we do.

30 seconds doesn't sound like much, but it only takes a few seconds to lose your life. Cops likely aren't going to be there fast enough to save you if something actually goes wrong.

I don't really have much else to say. I have personal experiences to back up my reasoning for self defense.

Yeah, it sounds like some reform to the process should be made.

I don't necessarily disagree with having child welfare involved, just how they handle things might be a bit (or a lot) on the iffy side.

This is where you get to an impasse though, the procedures are possibly (I say possibly because I don't know the history there) the way they are because people complained of not getting enough help, so the rules were changed to become more involved to better protect those needing help. Now it's too much so people are up in arms again.

So often victims of domestic abuse go back to that situation, whether it be fear, love, pain, or whatever other reason there is. There is a reason for "but we simply don't trust you to stick to that decision".

There isn't a cut and dry solution to problems like this. It doesn't really matter which direction they go, there will always be people screaming about not doing enough, or doing too much etc.

They may be legally required to tell the abuser what is going on... I mean, how can you serve a no contact order without telling the accused.

There is a ton of work to unfold here, so many things that are in place for a reason, as unreasonable as it may seem. It will always be a work in process with such sensitive situations.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. To be fair though, I rarely saw any Subarus when I lived down south, but once I moved out west they are pretty much all over. So it's not beyond the realm of having different distributions of cars in different areas.

Weird, I suppose it makes sense though as I only really use Google if I absolutely have to which is almost never. So I likely wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't see it here first.

As someone that has been working around weapons for the better part of 20 years, I disagree with your statement of not being blamed.

It's unfortunate yes, but whoever had that weapon in their hands and pulled the trigger should hold some blame.

If anyone ever hands you a weapon, movie set or not, it should be checked.

I do understand that it doesn't quite work that way but that's how it should be. Anyone handling a real weapon, especially during the course of ones job, should be required to go through training.

Thank you for that.

It didn't help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it's working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn't allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that's a totally different issue.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.

Really? I've never actually noticed one.

Maybe because of the ad blocking stuff I use on my phone.

Looks like Asphalt 9 was already grabbed by someone.
