Wouldn't suprise me. A woodworking channel I watch had all of its videos deleted with no warning. The channel owner said that customer support told him it's against their policy to say why videos are deleted.

In Firefox on a desktop, sometimes one "tick" of the scroll wheel jumps down an entire page, sometimes just a few inches, and the scroll wheel stops working until the page is finished moving. You also can't scroll up once you

Yeah, I don't get it when people are saying games are too expensive. I remember buying $50 NES games in the early 90s, and they didn't get updates and bugfixes, and unless it was a game made by a well known studio, there were no

Pretty much. I've started seeing a lot of people saying "innocent until proven guilty only applies to courts" as an excuse for mob justice. It's mostly the same people who say "freedom of speech only applies to gov

It's probably because if you're low income, you likely can't afford the lower MPG or expensive things like tire replacements, and if you're upper income, you just hire people to do work that requires a pickup. I think m

We both know that's not going to happen. Just looks at the comments here; every comment that doesn't show unquestioning support is either flagged or grayed out. Police should be be held accountable, but this is just outrage bait.

Anger isn't what's being punished, choosing to act on it is. I've met people who think that racism is an act that people choose, instead of a natural feeling that you shouldn't act on. Tribalism, whatever it's about

I think something that takes a global effort, like space exploration or switching over to renewable energy, would get everyone working towards a common goal.

People are tribal about anything they identify with, whether it's their race, local sports team, country of birth, etc. It's not okay to be racist, but it's also not something you can legislate away. You may as well try to

I feel the same way. I had a coworker who believed that racism was a personal choice, like stealing, and that you could eliminate it by creating harsher laws to punish people who did or said anything racist.

"No harassment based on certain criteria". The old FreeBSD code of conduct is a good example. Instead of having a blanket ban on harassment, it listed specific criteria that you couldn't harass someone about.

For anyone else interested in similar tricks, here is an in-depth video where someone talks about getting a star with half a button press. It starts out straightforward enough, but eventually gets really interesting when they start talking

Favoring a certain style of government doesn't mean you have to be a fan of every politician advocating for that style of government. It's like a quote from one of the main characters on The Newsroom. >First off, I'm a re

I use Ubuntu, and I've never had that problem. It usually checks for updates at boot, but doesn't actually download them until you manually approve it.

Isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to call them disingeneous when you had to use a fake quote to argue that it isn't as bad as what Trump said?

Agreed, I don't think those neighborhoods just happen to have a bunch of violent people, but I keep seeing people make the naive agument that the difference in crime rate for those areas is caused by police presence. I remember after

That wouldn't explain things like murder and other violent crimes. It's not like people are regularly getting murdered in the suburbs, but nobody bothered to check.

I think another reason could be the wide latitude you have in the military to punish someone without any official paperwork. If someone did something wrong, you could punish them with physical exercise, cleaning duties, taking away weekend

I think that's a failure in the organization that didn't have a security update policy, not a failure in Windows.

There's this from the top level comment. > Stand up for journalists. Real journalists. I wouldn't think that "Real journalists" would selectively choose what to report based on who their friends are.

The first example says the school didn't make it mandatory for white people to stay home, it was just highly recommended. It doesn't look like he broke any rules, the school had just hoped everyone would fall in line and he was fi

Agreed, I'm not saying we can currently assume they are responsible, but in some hypothetical future where reforms have been made and they can be trusted, I think it would be fine to use. I don't think we should use current bad a

No, the poster named it that as clickbait. >Hey! Never meant to state that all these founders came here on an H1B; just used that in the website name given what's been going on recently.

Yeah, facial recognition can be useful in law enforcement, as long as it's used responsibly. There was a man who shot people at a newspaper where I lived, and when apprehended, he refused to identify himself, and apparently their fing

Interesting info from that thread. Apparently if you follow through the entire setup, it asks what you'd like to import, but if you go through the task manager and force close it, then it automatically imports everything without your

It's interesting how similar ideas come about. At an old job I worked at, we had an internal tool also named Sidequest where you could write tickets for small tasks you needed help with. That way people who had down time and wanted to

I live in the USA, and I've mainly heard "blacks" used by older people, or casually racist people who have had bad experiences with black people. For example, my father and grandfather both say it, and they're both work

I've personally been accused of being a neo-nazi on reddit because my username includes the number 88, which is only there because my wife's birth year is 1988 and I'm not creative enough to think of a unique name. I've

If you've ever seen a black kid in school get ridiculed and told to "stop acting white" because they were studying and trying to keep out of trouble, you'd know what they're talking about. There are cultural issues

It seems easy to argue that it's harmful. They're actively wasting people's time, and making it seem like civil rights activists don't have any legitimate complaints if this is the kind of stuff they spend their energy
