You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?

Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

This is happening today. My poor bulbs!

I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look “quirky” and that is NOT what is needed.

Yes

Methinks some folks need to go out and touch grass for a while.

Out of curiosity, can you specify the topics or give specific examples of this shitty behavior you speak of? Without examples it is impossible to determine if you are discussing behavior that is straight-up pathological (e.g. name-calling) or people having a different opinion.

Lol okay. I am apparently a bad actor for simply adding information to the discussion that always rapidly devolves into simple “eat the rich” rhetoric. Sure, go on with your sanctimonious lecturing, I’m here all day.

Jfc, you are angry.

I point it out because most people here don’t seem to understand how it works when announcements like this are made.

Important to point out that their wealth is largely unrealized gains, that is, only exists in theory. If the stock market / bond market / whatever market crashed, this wealth would largely vaporize. Stock prices are essentially a mass agreed-upon hallucination, as they can be extremely divorced from real assets like industrial machines. It does mean that by controlling these stock etc assets, other people have a harder time getting into this slice of pie and they can do dumb shit like buying Twitter and summarily running it into the ground.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. This could have the makings of constructive dismissal. Relocate to a place with vastly different legal protections or be fired? Hmm. Since it also would possibly disproportionately affect female employees, I wonder if some discrimination could also come in to play?

Not a lawyer, just spitballing ideas.

Thank you.

Seems like the analysis is starting from the hypothesis that the BBC is biased, while a better scientific inquiry is “IS the BBC biased”.

Oh sure … just ignore the fact that Iran backs the Houthis and the Houthis attack random ships, like those owned by Danish Maersk… that’s not terrorism at all.

They are being directed to attack ships indiscriminately by Iran. If they wanted to fight genocide for real, a naval blockade without weapons would do the trick. This is just terrorism.

Edit: jfc, I don’t just pull this shit out of my ass.

The Houthis do this because Iran tells them to. WTF. Can’t believe you’re white-knighting this.

Edit: frfr

You realize it’s just an excuse for them to attack, right?

People have died in pirate attacks before.

Recently, ships have been hit with missiles.

A lot more people could die if the attacks are not stopped or avoided.

Dumb plan, Hamas. Israel will just bomb you to shits in record time…

Edit: y’all don’t get it. This gives Israel an excuse for total war. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
