Idk man, having down syndrome also gives you a much greater chance of things like heart defects. Life expectancy has improved recently to 50-60yrs old for them according to a quick search. I don’t think there’s a dilemma here at all. I wouldn’t want a disease that decreases my lifespan.
These folks are standing up against a great wrong and you’re just going to assume they’ll go back on their values later?
What makes you so confident they’d change their minds later and go against those values? Do you know them personally? Do you have a crystal ball to gaze into the future?
Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.
It is a US-based magazine, and it’s not very popular, so it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.
Errr… am I mistaken? This is the first time I’m hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it’s from Jacobin…
Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually…

I’m not coming to argue you on your main point. As a Communist, I think communism would be great in Japan, and a lot of other places.
However, you are completely wrong about the USA not defending Japan. Unlike taiwain there are several large american military bases in Japan, and actually Japan is not allowed to have a large military of its own through its constitution (I edited this, corrected)
article 9 of Japanese constitution involving its military
Okinawa is one base a lot of people have heard of, but there’s like 20 american military bases there. Japan depends on the USA for its foreign defense.
Since Japan is the largest foreign holder of american government debt (bonds) it might be appropriate to call them a vassal state.
I guess I will over-explain my snarky comment.
I’m making an analogy with robbing a bank, something that everyone would agree is a criminal activity because:
If you don’t find that point convincing:
A great deal of his wealth is unearned and comes at a cost to society in the form of an unfair technology market. He is the benefactor of a system who rewards those who have the most already, a system that allows your neighbors be homeless, sick and/or without basic necessities.
Kind of like a bank robber has unearned wealth. A bank robber (who got away with it!) giving away their unearned wealth to their favored charities doesn’t really belong in Uplifting News.
Bank Robber vows to give away his stolen funds by 20 years from now to charities of his choosing. He’s one of the good ones! So uplifting!
Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.
I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.
(Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)
In addition to the replies you got already, discord has screen sharing/streaming. An experience kind of like zoom (I don’t use it and dont see the appeal but maybe someone who does can elaborate more. My partner uses this feature sometimes).

oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.

Come on now Kotaku. I was a kid once on the internet. I lied about my age once to sign up for Neopets, which had text forums, private messages and user-created pages. You could even use HTML and hotlink images. It really wasn’t a big deal because my parents paid attention to what I did online, and the audience of the website was just children or people who wanted to play a simple game.
My mom ended up playing it, so she must have known I lied about my age to get access. She had hella neopoints.
For content marked 17+, you do need to verify your age with documentation
WHY IS THERE CONTENT FOR 17+ ON ROBLOX? Isn’t this the TRUE child safety problem? Why do this at all? Why attract people looking for 17+ content on a platform for children??? I read that Hindenburg report, the entire platform is a mess. This company deserves to fail and those investors deserve to be left holding the bag.
Ohhh… I’m a Krita enjoyer so I didn’t know this about gimp. TIL, haha
You made this image with a green pepper? That’s impressive, great work.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, that makes a lot of sense.
I haven’t switched to Wayland yet. It makes sense why xscreensaver wouldn’t work well with an entirely different window server. I was just surprised it was so difficult (for me at least) to use with modern window managers despite being relevant and mature, haha.
I tried Linux briefly in highschool (around the year 2000) before going back to Windows (I love video games). I switched about 2 years ago back to Linux (Debian). Your comment made me remember xscreensaver and I went and installed it again. The matrix screensaver is a huge throwback, I love it and I missed it.
But it was a pain to do this. I’m using KDE/Plasma on Debian, and I had to follow this process to get it done. My lock buttons built into KDE menus still don’t work despite replacing kscreenlocker_greet like the manpage recommends. I’m not sure it’s worth my time to try to figure out, since the page warns an update will revert this. I’m not going to remember how to fix it later. I choose to lock my computer with super+L so this isn’t a huge issue for me.
The process to use xscreensaver with gnome looks equally bad.
WHY is this so tough, though? Debian “just works” for me, so needing to fumble through this manpage feels pretty lame. The process looks similar on other distros, from a quick google. I’m not an IT person or a programmer, and this doesn’t feel very “linux” that it’s this way. Why would these window managers replace something that just works?
I suppose it does look a bit dated?
I think it’s notable what they didn’t find. No guns, weapons. No plane tickets. No bombs or bomb making equipment. No actual real plans, just aimless searches. This guy is young. You can find a picture of this guy online (I’m not going to link it. I think these sorts of sites should be illegal tbh).
My guess:
This guy needs a mental health intervention, not jail time. I have a hard time believing he is much of a public threat since they listed all the cool stuff they found in his house in the FBI charging documents but no guns/etc. This guy didn’t have a plan.
