  • Whats your such opinion

    Jump

  • That pedos shouldn't be subject to extra-legal punishments. Think being lynched and shit. I also don't think they should be getting their own special cases in the law beyond those with a clear purpose of preventing reoffending.

    Don't get me wrong, I think they are pure scum.

    But things we allow on the basis of the accused being a pedo or terrorist have a habit of spilling over and affecting the general population. A lot of bad laws have made it onto books by blaming these two groups, for example.

  • Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade blamed for a second death, lawsuit alleges

    Jump

  • It's what people don't know that is causing these deaths. Charged lemonade has insane levels of caffeine. Right up to the FDAs safe daily intake limit in a single cup. People think a charged lemonade is roughly equivalent to a red bull. It is not. It is more like 4 red bulls in a large drink. And the company's advertising itself compares the drink to a dark roast coffee, and slots the drink among their non-caffeine drinks.

    The problem is that they are not making informed decisions. If you picked this stuff up randomly one day, you're not gonna think that it has an insane amount of caffeine in it.

    And they encourage people to have more by offering free refills. Remember that one cup goes right up against the FDAs safe intake limit, and that's assuming you had no other caffeine that day. So they get a refill. Now they're operating with twice as much caffeine in their system in that instance than the FDA considers safe for daily intake.

  • Ah yes, because violence people who think differently to you has never led to extremism and said violence being returned to you...apart from the many, many times that it has.

    Seriously, if you think that initiating violence against right wingers is going to lead to anything except right wing extremists using violence on everyone else, you really need to look at your history books again.

  • You’re not going to stop the nazis in the spring of 1933, you would have needed to kill them in the 20s, a decade before they came to power.

    Except such thinking was how we got the Nazis in the first place. Hitler co-opted unions and parties who were extremised by such responses, and these were the basis of the Nazi party.

  • One side is gonna lose in the end.

    And there are plenty of times where this is done non violently.

    Basic self-preservation as you put it requires violence.

    Yes. As a last resort. That doesn't mean never using violence. It means using it for self preservation, not just because you disagree with them.

  • The last resort according to basic self preservation.

    The other side have guns too. What do you think they're gonna do when you start killing their people?

  • There is a difference between not tolerating their shit and wishing people's death.

    Edit: spelling

  • Jesus dude. I know right wingers can be absolute cunts but wishing death on them? Really?

  • Amazon issues warning about major change for Kindle users starting next month

    Jump

  • Nothing at all really. The cloud is just a convenient way to transfer documents and notes (but you can still do so over USB).

    The only thing that really needs the cloud service is transfer from and to mobile devices, which is an understandable niche. The Remarkable does not act like a regular USB drive. Instead, when plugged in, it acts as a virtual network device, and you browse to it on a browser, uploading and downloading documents via a browser interface. This behaviour doesn't seem to work properly on Android and Apple sure as hell don't allow it on iOS.

    If you really must have direct access to the files and OS, it allows for SSH access as root, and provides a surprisingly full featured Linux environment. If you're the experimenting type, you can even put homebrew applications on the device, and it has a modest homebrew app community. Just...be really fucking careful not to bork the OS to the point SSH doesn't work, else you're fucked unless you wanna tinker at the hardware level. Also, direct access to the document files isn't as useful as you'd think because their internal filesystem is confusing as shit. You're always better off using the device or cloud web interfaces.

  • I got myself a Remarkable. Expensive but omg so fucking useful compared to most e-readers.

  • You'd be surprised how hard the task is. Any given identifier can be trivially changed. IP addresses aren't permanent and change frequently for home users. Multiple people genuinely use the same IP. People are likely to have very similar writing styles to someone else by complete coincidence. Browser fingerprinting can be thrown off by simply using another browser or fucking with the User Agent.

    That about puts paid to any identifiers either Reddit or an instance owner may have.

  • Why yes, that slur does apply to me! You see, I have autism and don't take particularly kindly to that slur.

    Unlike you though, I actually have to tell people before they know there's something wrong with me. Because, again unlike you, I can act like a normal human being. As opposed to acting like a 5 year old that just learned the r-word. Sorry, I can tell you need an explanation for these things!

  • Richard Stallman has cancer

    Jump

  • You can't, not effectively. This ain't necessarily a federation problem though, centralised social media has the same problem. You can do the same on Reddit.

    That's not to say there aren't things that can be done. Instances can agree to implement shared banlists that include known-abusive IPs or, if an abusive user has a habit of using a pattern in their evasion usernames, you can use a Regex to hunt them out.

  • Richard Stallman has cancer

    Jump

  • Just because you ain't got the braincells to make the connection doesn't mean others can't.

    Speaking of overuse, you sure are using the r-word liberally for someone who couldn't get the joke. Or is it one of those "I'm black therefore I can use the N-word" kind of things?

  • Richard Stallman has cancer

    Jump

  • Dunno why you of all people are insulting their intelligence.

    While they made a clever double reference to the GNU/Linux meme and tying it in with the Ballmer 'Linux is cancer' rant, you not only come out with a one word response, but that one word makes you look infinitely worse than the person who literally made a cancer joke upon news of a diagnosis.

    Maybe ableist slurs weren't the best idea?

  • Fables creator places Wolf Among Us universe in public domain amid clash with DC over Telltale adaptation

    Jump

  • You're misunderstanding what's happened.

    The author has relinquished his copyright on the Fables universe. Every work based on it has its own copyright, however.

    So while you can make your own stories in the Fables universe, it doesn't mean that things like The Wolf Among Us game from Telltale have had their copyrights affected in any way.
