Police are explicitly trained to keep firing until the person at the very least collapses, and will often shoot people on the ground if it looks like they are reaching for or aiming a weapon.

Which is the sane thing to do.

Not investing the time to train them properly so they can judge situations correctly but indeed ingrain the idea that everyone is out to kill them is the problem. In a society where everyone can indeed suddenly draw a gun on you even more so.

Were can I get a browser addon to autoreplace any “Trump says <insert random statement here>.” with “Trump lies again.” (no I don’t even care about what this time…)?

Yes it was. The short answer to your question is very obvious: because he can get away with it and it gives him a feeling of power to threaten people. It’s the why OP answered for you.

People writing such biased and one-sided bullshit are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Actual hate (and other) crimes happen as part of protests. So does wrongful prosecution for made up infractions to suppress certain opinions.

As long as legitmate protestors and the media supporting them blindly fails to even acknowledge the possibiltyof actual criminals in their ranks and thus fails to distance themselves they are simply enabling their opposition.

As for every topic, whether it’s political, social or anything else: If you managed to let it devolve into tribalism you have already lost.

Also nowadays cars are updated constantly. So you better already collected your evidence as they simply won’t do it anymore now (until after the courts have ruled in their favor for a lack of evidence…)

That’ll teach me to comment before reading

That’s okay. Given people’s habit of just reading headlines and then commenting, your comment has a better chance to be read than the article… 😉

You are looking at this from the wrong perspective…

It’s “causing brain damage to get more voters”.

In simplified terms:

You are allowed to modify stuff but it is not actually changing the install as is.

This is achieved by different techniques like file system overlays, containerisation, btrfs snapshots and so on.

The idea is to replicate the classical behavior you know from embedded devices that have their core functionality in ROM with even firmware updates only overlayed or modern smartphones: You can modify your system but in the end there’s always the possibilty to “reset to factory settings” as in: the last known working configuration.

You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance

No, I don’t mean any absurd definition by a zionist lobbying organisation with the primary goal of shielding Israel’s right-wing zealots from any criticism, but simple common sense.

So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people

You don’t see that “From the river to the sea” used by people that -exactly like Israel’s insane government- vehemently deny a two state solution makes a very clear statement about the continued existence of Israel, or more precisely the non-existence? You don’t see how morons in Germany cheering for the attacks of October 7 2023 and offereing food and candy to passersby in celebration on the streets were very well understood to have used that slogan in exactly one way? That’s interesting… if only in a sense that I now know that reality is lost on you.

This is just a theory but maybe worth a thought:

Could it be possible that acceptance in a certain community up to the point where it’s just a non-issue that is totally separated from what the community does, bring a lot of people to the public view that exist everywhere else, too, just not that openly?

There was in fact some minor friction on IT events some years ago where people objected to stuff partly looking more like a pride event. Yet the majority didn’t care and there was barely any active pushback. And so it normalised very quickly and now it is just how it is. In my personal view at least for the benefit of all involved.

Democrats are a rediculous clownshow on so many levels…

Yet a “Democrats didn’t believe that bombs send to Israel as a deterrence for their very real hostile neighbours are used against civilians instead”-headline would be more truthful.

But hey. This way it’s more “haha, democrats are comically insane”. And as we all know by now the entertainment value is all that matters and that pesky truth should fuck off.

You are obviously not doing enough work with a full screen terminal being open… 😜

Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam’s work on it.

In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

I will not pretend that there aren’t games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that’s new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up “reasons” about Linux’ insecurity…).

I guess I’ll look for some guys on the street to invite them to trash my place and then sue my landlord for providing an defective door… 🤣

Actually lots of areas in Europe tested fluoride in water locally at some point. But they never found convincing evidence of this being preferably to getting fluoride the “classic way” (personalized in small doses already included in toothpaste).

Are USians not brushing their teeth? Or have they changed the toothpaste formulas to exclude fluoride, too, now?

Wouldn’t it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies “looking for alternatives” was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?
