  • I see you're operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it's kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.

  • Y'know, I'm pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily

    Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.

    I love Linux, but it's not meant for every situation

  • Is your point "Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks"?

    Or is it "This wouldn't have broken on a different operating system"?

  • I'm reasonably certain that it was. I dont remember ever seeing an incorrect name as long as someone submitted their form.

  • Letter paper (8.5" x 11" | 215.9mm x 279.4mm) is kinda sorta pretty close to A4 (8.27" x 11.69" | 210mm x 297mm) so without having the two next to each other, it can seem like A4 is just a funny piece of letter, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, USA and Canada (and apparently the phillipines???) use the "North American Standard" which is a terrifying mess in comparison to the beauty that is the ISO standard.

    Edit: typos

  • You know what, you're right. Looks like I've gone too long assuming they were interchangeably usable by changing the surrounding words.

    I'll redact my previous statement, though to be clear, I still strongly disagree that one could say that the attackers schizophrenia was definitely a factor in this without having a previously existing mental evaluation and the expertise to understand it. You could say that it's more likely to have been influenced by his schizophrenia, but as I previously noted, a relatively small minority of schizophrenic people are violent (10-15%).

  • 'Bollard Man': Hero who confronted stabber promised Australia visa

  • You don't need to be a psychologist to determine whether his mental illness was a factor.

    I'm not saying his mental illness was the reason.

    Please continue saying more contradictory statements.

    If you think it could be a factor, then you think it might be a reason that he did this. It could be a factor, but again, neither of us are equipped to evaluate the mental status of someone based on news articles.

    Edit: Factor =/= Reason. My argument in this message is flatly incorrect due to this, though I'll leave it up.

  • Please don't tell me to stop and breathe, I'm fully calm in this discussion.

    My argument is that no one in this thread is a psychologist who has evaluated the schizophrenic person. Not you, not me, not anyone else. We can speculate as to the cause, but making prescriptive statements like "he did this because he has schizophrenia" only serve to stigmatize the condition further when we truly have no idea if that was the cause.

  • 'Bollard Man': Hero who confronted stabber promised Australia visa

  • A person who is mentally ill and has done violent things, doesn't mean they did those violent things because of their illness.

    In fact, your "common sense" isn't even supported by science.

    • Only 10-15% of schizophrenic people exhibit violent tendencies
    • Schizophrenic people living in communities are up to 14x more likely to be the victim of violence rather than the perpetrator
    • Finally, this is anecdotal, but for whatever it's worth, I have multiple (3) friends who are schizophrenic and they are genuinely the kindest people I know, whether or not they are on their medication.

    Stop vilifying the mentally ill.

  • I edited one word of my comment because I had another reply from someone who misunderstood what I was referring to, so i clarified so there wouldnt be further confusion, not to give myself an excuse to be snarky.

    • I've read the article you've provided a number of times previously and while yes, it does indicate that there is no scientific evidence for my claim, it is limited to the UK.
    • I don't see what interbreed-ability has to do with invasiveness?

    I don't care about some American publication talking about cats

    • I provided 3 sources, one was American, the others were from Oxford (also in the UK last I checked) and Tillburg (Netherlands), both discussing the EU broadly
    • Here is another study from the checks notes British Ecological Society which concludes in part

    "...It is also well established that free-ranging cats pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation and restoration worldwide, and that remedying this threat is relatively easy when compared to other drivers of biodiversity loss..."

    If you're not going to read the evidence I'm providing, while saying I'm only providing americentric evidence, then I'm going to respectfully abandon this thread. I apologize for the snark, that was uncalled for.

    Edit: formatting only

    Stop thinking that things that make you feel bad about your world view are "patently false information based on an amero-centric worldview". Please and fucking thank you

  • Except plastic straws aren't actively hunting marine creatures.

    Domesticated cats are not native to north america and western Europe, and people should be more responsible in how they care for their pets, especially the ones that are invasive fucking species.

    Also, 2 things can be true. It's possible that bird populations are being decimated by ecological destruction as well as the mass breeding and free roaming of invasive predators introduced by humans.

    Edit: clarified that I meant domesticated cats
