The left still thinks we’re in 1968 fighting for rights with mostly peaceful protests. We’re in 1938 and we’ve already lost.

“Evil always wins, because good is dumb.” - Some moron in a helmet

Really burying the lede there.

If the headline is a question, the answer is always no.

…I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

Right. This is just trading one set of security pitfalls with a second, much worse set of security pitfalls.

This is just a description of a standard business model. Most percentage-based revenue or sales systems have lower prices for higher quantities.

It’s called the “bulk discount” for a reason.

I wish it would combine comments for crossposts. It doesn’t have to break per-server instance bans or anything like that. Just combine the comments for servers that are friendly with each other.

Some of the more extreme-minded liberals do a good enough job at sabotaging themselves and the movements they are a part of, without the need for malicious saboteurs. Like Atheist+ or progressive stack.

Then again, Russians orgs are out there, trying to influence politic movements and sabotage others. GamerGate was an entire sea of political actors, journalists, influencers, and Russian agents, trying to push their own narratives to the point of mass disinformation from both sides, with the general public on either side confused and angry at the other’s responses.

Defund means to essentially get rid of a department or thing. The phrase “defend the police” means “get rid of the police”. It doesn’t matter if there’s some cartoon to re-explain away the phrase or a bunch of other people trying to re-define the English language. English is English, and words have meaning.

The “defund the police” movement failed because us liberals don’t fucking understand marketing. Like, at all. I can’t count the number of times some liberal movement crops up with their slogan and Republicans turn that slogan against them because nobody spent the ten minutes time to think about how that phrase or thing could be abused. For example, that brief time when the LGBT movement wanted to rename themselves to LGBTQIA2SUVWTFBBQ? Seriously?!?

It’s like naming your baby “Assman McAssface” and wondering why he gets bullied in school.

Right, but when companies go after pirated games, they are going after them because of copyright, not patents or trademarks. The way copyrights are enforced and the way the law works is a lot different than how it works with patents and trademarks.

There is no “use it or lose it” clause for copyrights. If somebody is breaking copyright, you still have the right to enforce it for a long as the copyright is still valid, and don’t have to vigorously defend it to keep it.

American IP law

IP and copyright are two entirely different things.

Obviously, LTT doesn’t see the long-term benefit of retraining his team to not be attached to monthly subscription bullshit.

Short-term quarterly-profit energy.

That’s WB in a nutshell.

They just put out a Smash Bros competitor with a ton of characters, voice acting, looked like it had a lot of promise.

…and it’s free-to-play. Which means it’s loaded with microtransactions.

Imagine being one of those guys who puts in all of this effort for a game that is doomed to fail.

Gonna wait until it comes out before I play or look at any of this stuff.

Whoa… I’ve had this on my wishlist for years. I was half afraid that it was just in development limbo. Didn’t realize the dev finally put out a demo.

This is the same guy that did Gunpoint and Heat Signature. Heat Signature especially was super inventive in its core gameplay loop. I’d expect no less from a tactical game like this one.

The animated screenshots remind me of some of the mechanics of Fights in Tight Places.

There’s a lot of reading.

I mean, there’s a lot of reading, but almost all of it is voice acted. Wonderfully.

Disco Elysium is worth it for the voice acting alone. And that’s not even a tenth of the game.

My point was that there are large numbers of Palestinians who have much more recent grievances than 70 years – like dead relatives of all ages, or lost homes, within their lifetime.

Which all stem from that original conflict from 1947. A wave of hatred against the Jews who took their country, which spawned more violence, not all of it balanced, which spawns more terrorism, which spawns more violence, until we get to today.

I would say that we happen to be posting in an Internet forum, where we all have access to the Internet, and I could just look that up. But, it’s a more nuanced question that isn’t as easy to look up. According to Wikipedia, more than half are stateless and 21 percent of Israelis identify as Palestinians.

But, I’m sure you’re leading this question into an answer that you already have a page up for, so let’s hear it.

As I pointed out in another post, using decades- or centuries-old arguments for sovereignty has been used as justification for terrorism. When bin Laden smashed a couple of planes into the Twin Towers, that’s exactly the kind of argument he used as justification.

It’s not about moral dissonance. It’s about how hate spreads through ancient spites and grudges. The decades of failed peace attempts in the Middle East have been brought about by clinging on to these ancient grudges, and it’s exactly why Palestine has had much less of a standing in being officially recognized as a nation than Israel has.

From your initial comment it seems like the main misunderstanding is that nation states unilaterally declared by European powers in Africa and Western Asia from the nineteenth century until around the middle of the 20th century have been utterly disastrous to those places rather than being the only source of order in those places.

Is this the starting volley of an argument that unfair colonization from the 1800s is justification for a nation’s lack of sovereignty?

tend not to consider them as legitimate and more of an encroachment.

Yes, there it is.

That’s nice of you to counter with a complete lack of information.

Please. Enlighten me. What part of the history of Palestine am I not understanding?

Well, another party that is willing to actually govern is welcome to stand up for itself and replace the GOP.

Until that happens, we have the GOP, a party that is ran by gaslighting, obstructionism, and projection, who’s real purpose has been laid bare for decades: To take our government, and “reduce it to the size where [they] can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub”. And the Democrats, a party that has its own flaws, but actually wants to enact laws and run the country.

One of these parties wants to actively destroy our government, and one of them doesn’t.
