yucky, for whatever reason your comment is [dead], so I can’t reply to you directly. > I understand it she has been very vocal in her disdain for the Ukrainian Azov Battalion which our current President seems to be aligned with I think i

Probably because all of the comments under this post containing those words were written by me? Why would it be a script? Are you questioning the truthfulness of my statements? Do you think I’m trying to misrepresent something?

It’s worth noting that Turley is defending Gabbard who goes on holidays with actual Nazis of the SSNP.

It’s not an accusation, I’m just pointing out that there is in fact a very real scenario where making such statements would be treasonous. But again, Gabbard has a history of incredibly sketchy behaviour. I don’t think any criticism of her

I doubt it, it’s not a “no jury in the land” case, but it probably is a “no prosecutor in the land” case. In Swartz’s case it wasn’t at all obvious to an outsider how many people would be upset, but there certainly were big domestic interes

It demonstrates a long-term alignment with Russian foreign policy interests. I’m not saying that her hanging out with Assad is treasonous in itself, although it certainly says a lot about her character. Her choosing to hang out with Assad c

Indian Accent on Manhattan is absolutely incredible, a modernist take on Indian cuisine. Great food, great cocktails. After covid forced them to close in London, I’m happy to fly across the Atlantic just to eat there.

London is also popular because it is the best city in the world to live in if you have a lot of money. London has been very important for a very very long time. This may even play a bigger part than any regulatory environment, especially in

My main goal in this conversation wasn’t to advocate harming anybody. I’m genuinely curious why software should be special. It’s weird! OTOH I see this same pattern repeated over and over again in different communities. If you go to gaming

I think now we’re solidly in the same territory as regular economic sanctions, which will also cause more harm to the regular people than to those directly culpable for enabling the war. But I also think to some extent it’s only fair that t

Tulsi Gabbard certainly does not deserve the benefit of the doubt after her trip with a Syrian Social Nationalist party delegation to meet Assad in Syria.

> Amazon buying MGM means that MGM films are very unlikely to be available on other streaming services, which certainly lessens competition. Not substantially, that’s the important detail.

I’m absolutely in favor of sanctions, as I am also in favor of this kind of “protestware”. To me the equivalence is obvious, malware is just another kind of economic sanction. >I won’t provide that because it’s bullshit Why is it bullshi

Do you believe that the alternative of letting the Israelis bomb Iranian nuclear facilities would have been better? That’s what they would have done if not for Stuxnet.

So you also think that sanctions against Russia are evil? If not, what’s the big difference that makes Russia-targeted malware more evil than the vastly more destructive economic sanctions?

Sanctions laws are just as opaque to the muggles as digital magic spells, also easily far more damaging than even the worst malware the world has seen.

What great cost? Stuxnet did exactly nothing to harm systems that it wasn’t specifically targeting.

Hmm, a throwaway account with a single comment constructing a straw man to argue against western sanctions for the war. It’s simply an unfortunate reality that the Russian state can’t be punished for their actions without collateral damage.

Why is open source special? Or are you against all the economic sanctions on Russia also? Do you oppose businesses pulling out of Russia despite not being legally required to do so? > They hurt innocent people. You cannot booby trap your

But that’s strictly not true, bordering on delusional. Geo-targeted malware that only runs on specific computers is not attacking the whole world.
