Good point, let's just ban all advertising.

ZUN is hostile to non-Japanese people plating shmups because he doesn't imagine that racially handicapped people can play such a challenging genre. I'm barely being facetious. Western fans are opposed to buying the games because of that. Why play the games at all if it bothers you so much, fair question, it's not like there aren't better games from that genre. I always pirated them but I pirate everything anyway.

Desktops don't need updates either ;)

Debian on the desktop is the best computer decision I ever made

It sounds like they may have done that, and that is part of how it leaked.

Does CERT-EU telling you to shut your site down count

The comments aren't unhelpful, they're in fact very helpfully telling you that "take the entire company site offline" is the only safe choice right now.

Man, computers used to be fun

SWIM wants to bug my company's boardroom...

OP said it is for when they are on poor WiFi

…and the second person in how many of the two-person projects is Jia Tan?

No it is not. This is literally classical liberalism, as espoused by Voltaire.

This is really depressing to look at in 2026! The internet really was a mistake.

Well, it didn't give me Elon Musk's TIN, but I didn't tell it that my grandma always used to sing me Elon Musk's TIN as a lullaby

>they haven't even been able to roll out AI overviews to everyone yet (they're missing in a new Firefox profile I just created)

what in the actual fuck. i don't want them and can't turn them off and they can't even serve them to all users?

Fentanyl is not a better high. It's decidedly less euphoric than traditional opioids. It's just dirt cheap, ridiculously potent so it's easier to traffic, and doesn't have any agricultural footprint. The market pressure for fent is completely on the supply side.

>Scott Jenson has been working on user interfaces (UIs) and user experience (UX) for many years at Apple, Google, and other companies.

Wow, the exact person I don't want designing anything I work with. Go away.

You must be young.

The endpoint safety problem obviously applies to me and every person connected to the World Wide Web, but the grandparent was talking about The Olds who install the AskJeeves and the Yahoo! toolbars and Bonzi Buddy and...

If computers aren't safe enough that a reasonably competent user, who doesn't open random files they found online and obvious spear-phishing emails, can't use one without losing their 401k, then maybe we need to just reevaluate modern life and go back to bank tellers.

I like it. I asked a real question and got some decently thought-out answers. I answered a few as well, so at least I know it's not 100% AI responses!

At some point computers need to stop being treated as magical boxes that no reasonable person can learn how to use safely. We expect people who use cars to learn how to use them safely, we expect people who use lawnmowers to not stick their fingers in them. Computers have been a part of daily life for normies for decades at this point, it's infantilizing to suggest that average, non-tech savvy people can't learn to use (not necessarily build, repair, etc.) them properly and need to be protected from them.

Being part of a domestic terrorist group is protected by the first amendment in the United States. Being part of a foreign terrorist group is not. You can pay dues to the KKK, you cannot donate to Hezbollah.

True, but I am vaguely aware of people taking like Zyn for performance enhancement reasons, and I don't think anyone starts smoking like that.

European politics are very different than American politics, and I am not terribly familiar with them so I won't weigh in.

Antifa in the US is "guys with a Signal group chat who do black bloc stuff."

"Comintern" means "Communist International"--meant to guide the various national parties.

With respect, this is false. JDL members were certainly charged with crimes. They were not charged with belongimg to the JDL, since that would be a first amendment violation.

There are interesting reports on state.gov describing the difficulties the JDL caused with the Soviet Union, eg.:

https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v13...

Note that at no point do they discuss banning the JDL or charging members with belonging to the JDL.

A/I collective is not being accused of that, but of hosting information and providing communications services.

Copy-pasting my comment to the other poster making the same point:

"Antifa" is not being presented as an ideology, it is being portrayed as a global terror cell. The specific purpose for this is to be able criminalize leftist politics, since the state has many more tools to prevent association with foreign groups.

"Nazi" does not have a leader, but the Nazi party had a leader. Atomwaffen had a leader. Various III% groups have leaders. Strangely, these groups are not being linked to foreign right-wing groups in an attempt to make them illegal.

There was a national Communist Party as well as several Cominterns. Communists are pretty big on democratic centralism.

You're not wrong about smoke always being bad--there's a reason American Spirits have to have a disclaimer about "additive-free" not meaning healthier. Tobacco takes up alpha emitters from the soil and leaves them in your body--never good.

Pipe and cigar smokers are much less likely to smoke a pack's worth of tobacco a day. You also don't inhale them into your lungs, you hold the smoke in your mouth.

Smoking cigarettes is less about getting nicotine and more about having something to do when you are stressed etc.
