There will always be situations where someone violates someone else's rights. At least sheriffs are representative of the preference of the people. They can be regular people. I'll gladly take that over a police chief any day.

I find it interesting that everyone immediately assumed I was talking only about guns. The advantage includes the right to peaceably assemble and speak freely, and petition the government for a redress of grievances. But to think that will

Not well. We haven't had unrestricted firearms access since the beginning of the last century!

Insurgencies have a recent track record of being quite effective. So, yes. Also, I never said you'd survive such a scenario. Not everyone survived the first revolution. Did that make it a bad idea? Also x2, why do people I speak to abo

The checks are the legislatures that give them laws to enforce, and the courts/judges that constantly choose to allow their lack of education of the law they're enforcing. Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse, unless you&#x27

Is this supposed to be a joke? Haven't read such an authoritarian comment in a while.

I don't have an argument, you're just wrong because I dislike your point. But seriously: apparently the logic is that we can say almost whatever we want to the police, whom we interact with less. But we can't freely speak tow

It's almost like the founders knew this was going to happen, and gave us an advantage.

Wow yeah, that's bad. I don't get the "end every sentence/paragraph with a relevant emoji" thing.

Simplicity is security. There are less things that can go wrong.

> the edge of free speech Sometimes, comedy writes itself. It always fascinates me when someone can write something so oxymoronic and not register an issue with it.

This is theme I use for everything worth custom-theming. LibreWolf, Emacs, Alacritty, AwesomeWM, Slack... and even more that don't come to mind right now.

People advertising their crap is one of the reasons I got rid of it in the first place, along with rampant celebration of total degeneracy, and it generally being a pointless timesink of short-term entertainment.

Ah I just missed the sarcasm. Yeah, and when the sole goal is to minimize suffering, tyranny is introduced. "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

> Privacy, long term, will mean the fall of civilization. I'm curious about your rationalization for this. Lack of privacy will also mean the fall of civilization. Civilization is just doomed to fail at one point or another. All thi

All I know is we keep having this issue with saying "nah, this is it. Nobody will ever need more than this." And then inevitably the time comes when we need more.

Video streaming services need to take Gabe Newell's words to heart. Steam still heavily beats pirating games, and so I pay up for games, and I feel that my money is spent well. Though, my only complaint is that I don't actually o

When we move into the 128-bit CPU era, will we call 128-bit integers "super long"? Maybe "elongated". Maybe "huge"? Or, you know, we could just name them all by bit length and completely future-proof this syste

$1/year is entirely unreasonable. They build a product, they sell it to you, transaction ends there. They should sell you a product that works. Bug fixes are part of making the thing you bought closer to what was advertised, so it&#x

Bad move on Ukraine's part, bad move on our part. Yes. Unpopular opinion on this site, but I don't care.

Okay but you can make the same argument in reverse that the potential uncountable benefits aren't likely to be great enough for it to be acceptable to you. And many of us have come to that conclusion.

It was in the MIC and security states' best interests, made popular by taking advantage of a tragedy and wielding propaganda. Honestly, GG to the people running the show at the time. It was a very clever play. Have to give credit where

Yes. They were not an ally until after the war started. You don't get to say "nah we don't need you" and then rely on billions of dollars after the fact, and then join the pact and reap the official benefits once the

My Pixel 7 Pro does. But I have GrapheneOS, so maybe that's not a vanilla feature.

Unfortunately in my area, it's consensus that this year sucked with how consistently cold and stormy it was. Summer felt like nothing, and fall wasted no time swooping in.

The current alternatives suck. Renewables are unreliable and produce massive waste themselves. What we need is nuclear, but I only ever hear the same people complaining about fossil fuels, complaining about nuclear. It's extremely safe

Okay, perhaps you're going to go the literal route with this. No, this is not instantaneous censorship. I'll say it this way: they are creating the tools with which they will inevitably enforce censorship on those with enough reac
