- Comment on Is there a way to make a recovery USB just in case shit happens? Will it still work without a recovery moment? 2 days ago:
True. C: is not a computer thing, it’s a Windows thing. And it’s not a “drive”, it’s a partition.

all comps are set up to read the c: drive
That’s not true. You can choose wich storage device to boot from.
- Comment on How come cops who are trained in guns shoot to kill all the time? Even people who have no gun. Why not go in with your hand on the taser, and ready just in case to shoot someone in the leg? 2 days ago:
Assuming USA: For newly recruited officers, basic training, commonly referred to as police academy training, serves as the initial and foundational phase. This phase typically spans 12 to 24 weeks (approximately 3-6 months).
So just to clarify: in some states it’s only 3 months. IIRC even less, at least if you’ve been in the military. Yes, you read that right: having learned how to indiscriminately kill is considered a boon for this job.
I find that un-fucking believable - both the duration and the closeness to the military.

And the US government is doing anything to hold them accountable
I think meant “nothing” instead of “anything”?
Anyhow, yes, all this is very much the product of the current US admin.

Doesn’t the GPL cover shit like this? There should be mass lawsuits
I hope it’ll happen eventually.
Currently the USA (and that’s where most of this shit comes from) is aggressively pro AI to the point of breaking the law with government support.
BTW what OP says has happened to Linux (at large) through Google/Android, too. The GPL hasn’t stopped them but surely put some limits on their exploitation of FOSS

Don’t discount the message though. After all we’re interacting with a screenshot of a tweet. It doesn’t make me a fan of this guy.

The French Revolution was succesful. What the king & nobles did before that was much, much worse.
It just wasn’t a socialist revolution. The bourgeoisie won.
It also didn’t happen just like that, it took 10 years - Wikipedia calls it “a period of political and societal change”. I think it’s fair to say it wasn’t completely unplanned.

- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Point taken. I guess I should completely amend my argument; the real point is that Snowden blew the whistle exactly on what makes the NSA so bad (nowadays).

Government institution = fascist services. Nice. Remind me to not march beside you when we finally take down the oligarchs.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
He didn’t flee to Russia - he was going somewhere else and got stuck in Moscow on a layover because the US revoked his passport.
That said, I don’t like him staying there either, but maybe he really cannot leave.
I completely disagree about “facing the music” - it would have been a guaranteed and long prison sentence.

He was in 2013. And that’s what counts.
- Comment on Why do most comedians have different drinks to drink? Most have water, Ricky usually has beer, some have whiskey and such. I get the lights make them thirst. But why not all water or something? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I wouldn’t buy anybody drinking whiskey on stage. Sipping beer, maybe.
- Comment on I Played Piano with My Washing Machine 3 weeks ago:
especially refrigerators
I moved into a flat that already had a Samsung fridge in it, tall thing with a freezer at the bottom. The noise it makes (gurgling, rattling, vibrating…) is just unbelievable. I also think the temp regulation is not working quite right, I can’t seem to adjust it. But I like my fridge very cold, so I guess that’s OK. I complained to my landlady and she answered: “so, is it so bad that we have to throw it away?” Apparently repairing is not an option. Even if I don’t have to pay for it, I don’t like the idea of throwing away a perfectly usable appliance. So I installed a door and keep my kitchen closed now.
WTF is up with Samsung?
- Comment on A long while ago I heard of an Asian country, I think it was Japan, that could make you disappear. Is this actually possible? They don't murder they just remake your life an image online. How? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe you’re thinking about the Man from Taured?
In 1954, a Caucasian man was arrested at the airport upon entering Japan because they couldn’t classify his passport and didn’t know the issuing country.
When he is shown a map so he can tell where he is from, he points to Andorra and calls it “Taured”. He cannot understand why no one knows about this country that, according to him, has existed for 1,000 years.
He is taken to a hotel and two police officers guard his room while the case is further investigated. When you go to visit him again, the room is empty and there is no trace of the man from Taured. Did he come from a parallel universe?

- Comment on Planted chillies, neighbouring tree infested the planter. 4 weeks ago:
Haha, something similar happened to me - thankfully just with a common potted plant: despite being extremly easy to take care of, it was doing worse and worse. All of it, except for one branch (or so I thought) that was also a deeper green.
Turns out something else started growing in there and killed off the original plant.
That other plant is still growing there now. I think it might be a lemon or orange plant.
- Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians? 4 weeks ago:
Not an exact answer, but:
I tried modding once, because essentially I see the necessity. However, the head mod (this was on reddit, and there’s a hierarchy built into the system) was power-tripping badly, unwilling to communicate with other mods or mod decisions, showering misbehaving users with insults. Their POV was: it’s shit work, don’t make it worse for me by wanting to talk about it. What a stupid opinion to have about voluntary unpaid work. Ultimately I got kicked out by the mod and I realized I’ll never take this on again. Last laugh’s on me though, I have now created a community & also mod it…
