  • Exclusive: US military to start kicking out transgender troops next month, memo says

  • I know this is terrible and I feel for those whose lives this will impact. But it really does show the self defeating nature of fascism. While talking big about invading two countries, why not weaken your own military? Great job, fascism!

  • End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

  • I am going to invoke the XKCD comic on you in return.

    I work in a library. I help people with computer issues every day on their personl computers and the public ones...

    99% of people would freak out if you expected them to know what Task Manager even is, let alone what it does or how to open it.

    This entire conversation is vastly overestimating people's abilities and confidence when it comes to computer use.

  • Seize the Means of Production

  • I don't know that there's any irony there. In my reading, the passage is actually advocating against such laws. And is aimed at the kind of thinking that leads to such laws.

    I don't think he is condoning or advocating for such thinking in that passage - more saying that, if you do want these kind of laws (while he lists some contemporary examples) you have to realise that it won't actually work and will have other, negative consequences. That's not him necessarily condoning the thinking or actual moral standing of those examples. Just pointing out what he sees are the realities of such laws.

  • Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland

    Jump

  • That depends. Has Russia started a land war across the entire Eastern front at the same time?

    Then it might be a bit tough for Europe to do anything about Greenland. It's almost like the whole 'we need to take Canada' rhetoric is pre-emptive, knowing Canada would be the most dangerous remaining opponent to such a plan, should Europe be busy... for some reason. Take Canada and Greenland at roughly the same time. Tie them down while Europe is busy. The US ends up owning Greenland. And, if things fall out wrong, Canada, too - though it might not be a primary goal.

    From that point, Russia and the US divide Europe between them.

    Is this an insane plan? Yep. Would it work? Doubtful. Is it the potential thinking of the fascist dickheads in charge, despite that? I suspect so.

  • There was one study I vaguely remember reading of, where tagged birds of a certain species were seen as more desirable mates. So the scientists had to change their tagging style. They'd accidentally invented a new bird fashion.
