It has earned itself an awful reputation in America too amongst the people who understand it. Unfortunately, most Americans are too stupid to understand it or too hateful to even try.

Should Slavic people now be required to change the name of their ethnicity too? I mean they are literally called slaves. Yup, let's force them to do that because we're being consistent now. No more Slavs. Let's call them repl

This is the reason I won't consider most of their laptops. I understand they use an oem and the oem doesn't give a shit about design, usability, ergonomics, or practicality. That's why it's like this. Most laptop vendors

Yup. For my main machine, I've never had a Linux laptop last more than six months without a problem that required reinstalling the os (wouldn't boot, wouldn't connect to display etc.). I had a laptop used mostly for web brows

Compromise. Ask for an extra week of vacation. I got three days for the mere possibility that I would be around in case production went down. It didn't. I was the only engineer on the team at the time. Come to think of it, no different

Stupid neo fascist parties make up at least half of America and currently hold the presidency and Senate. That is the problem. Europe is racist as fuck but America's racism is on a whole new level. It's so ingrained into American

Hard to say but what is unequivocal is that it's not an excuse for their behavior under any circumstances.

Why would he think "police are our friends?" I did not think that at 7 let alone 10, but I grew up in a place where being mistaken about the reality of police could get you or your family arrested or killed. So a place not much di

Seems pretty sucky to me to have to debug your window manager or configure a half dozen apps just to do basic things like changing the sound volume or showing the time. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a parody. It&

And flatpack. So now there's apt, snap, appimage, and flatpack. 4 fucking systems that need to be maintained just to update apps on an OS. Frankly, it's ridiculous and the apps from all those alternate systems all have some issues

So you blame the stupidity of your parents and others who believe idiotic conspiracy theories on platforms not banning things? How about we expect people to be minimally educated (because that is all it takes to figure out the difference) a

No, it suggests the masses are idiots. Nothing more and certainly nothing new.

This isn't a debate. Many states have had mail in ballots for decades and some use them exclusively. This is established practice and we know that suspected fraud cases occur extremely rarely. Just because our idiot president and his e

That's how the US system is supposed to work too. You're just pointing out its failure, not some fundamental difference.

Good to see that any pretense that the drug war was not just another way to enslave minorities and other undesirables is gone with the current government. Now they're bringing in the veteran warriors who have deep experience suppressin

Because we don't even have values to back the legal system. It's strange to demand companies act ethically when the legal system allows and encourages them to act unethically.

Walmart are scumbags who will pursue shoplifting charges with no evidence and try to collect from innocent people. [1] I'm not surprised they are using AI for this, a system that's bound to cause false positives. It should be ille

Qualified immunity is especially hurtful because it is the only recourse left when prosecutors decline to prosecute cases against police, the norm even in Floyd's case (only one out of four killers has been charged). Yes, it would be i

In the US, it depends on whether the violence incited is "imminent" or not. In this case, I'd say that it was and the government failed to act (surprise! /s) to enforce its own laws because the president is indeed above

Police officers, given that they have the power of life or death over others' lives, should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. Apparently, this is still extremely controversial in America, where our culture insists that it

I always suspected police hiring in America targeted idiots, likely idiots with a penchant for violence. Now we have undeniable proof. I wonder where else such anti intellectualism is codified into law.

What was the officer who murdered Floyd on live camera thinking, fully aware that Floyd was dying? Probably the same thing as these assholes. That they will get off without any punishment because of qualified immunity. The same thing every

The people rioting generally seem like decent people standing up for a just cause. So no, we won't judge all Minnesotans the same way. We will judge the people who set things up so that this is a common occurrence much more harshly. An

When you arrest or kill a drug dealer, many others come in and fight for his place creating more violence. This is known and shown by studies and every cop's experience ever. They know this and yet they still do it, causing more violen

I'd wager you don't get sarcasm. I'd also wager the people who are out of work aren't protesting with signs demanding haircuts. Then again, I might lose this second wager if these protestors are that stupid, dumber than
