Then you are quite obtuse, unintentionally or not.

The insinuation is that he supports Hamas, and therefore is a target of the Israeli government’s supply-chain terror attack. Therefore the hope that “his beeper doesn’t go off” is meant to be a slight against his choice to support Palestinians.

The fucked up parts are as follows:

1. assumption that all supporters of Palestinians are supporters of Hamas and/or their actions on October 7th, and therefore any criticism of Israel’s actions is an explicit antisemitic attack on Judaism itself
2. Assertion that Israel was right and just to target Hezbollah operatives with the pager attack, even though it was reckless (and in fact killed and maimed innocents, and committed an act of war away from any battlefield)
3. Flippantly dismissing a person by basically saying “you’re next”; by basically saying “for your opinion, a foreign government should sneak a bomb into your personal electronics and explode your family at home, better hope it doesn’t happen”

And don’t you dare try to say that takes it too far, because that’s exactly what that “joke” implies. What else COULD it mean? Only mental gymnastics could attempt to explain it away.

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I did, and I found that the US does WORSE shit than Russia sometimes.

Russia ain’t good. Neither is the US. Get your head out of your ass.

Valve has a good track record, and you’ve never owned a game in your life. They’ve always been a license, with few exceptions. Even physical media.

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

A motorcycle the dude works on himself

He did debate with Hasan on stream for like 3 hours and I’m sure (assuming) he got a lot of texts from his business partners (one of whom I understand is Muslim) so maybe he really did take a hard look at himself.

I sure hope so because, man - what he said was ignorant AF.

FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.

It’s not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That’s cute.

This is also the case for physical copies, and has been since software was first sold

Incredible how many people skip the article and substitute their own reality before commenting.

Article says nothing about Apple allowing law enforcement access to any user data.

There has always been plenty to criticize about Apple, but some of you people see their name and just get so [TRIGGERED]

Can’t keep archives of Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with and loved; will sue you for keeping copies of them.

Definitely ok to being three mile island back online for AI though, that’s the ticket to a better humanity!

For real why has everyone with any kind of money gone psycho? Have the bad guys started winning even harder?

I think the meme is more about perspectives and listening to the way someone thinks about operating IT is very different from the way someone things about architecting IT

It’s next to X and C on the qwerty keyboard, so you don’t have to move your fingers much to cut/copy then paste quickly.

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.
