Why not?

520,

The people that shat themselves over Windows 8 probably aren't the kind of people to experiment with a new OS.

520,

Oh yeah! Forgot about that stuff lol

520,

Personally I would recommend a Remarkable. It's more expensive but soooo much more useful with a pen.

You can load books onto a Kindle, but format conversion is required and the results are not always pretty.

It has some GNU utilities. We are talking a very small selection indeed. Some might even be completely different implementations compared to the typical GNU toolbox.

We are certainly not talking entire toolchains.

Favourite FOSS Torrenting Client for Linux that has a VPN killswitch?

I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?...

So, my setup might be of interest to you.

I have an OpenWRT router with an OpenVPN client on it. I use the router's firewall rules to secure the access as needed. If I'm using the VPN, then the VPN is the only way traffic can get out, as I close the direct route via firewall.

This setup persists even after a router reboot.

To do this easily, I made a Python script that can load the OpenVPN files on the router, switch on/off the OpenVPN connection and modify the firewall accordingly.

This affects the entire network, and means I am not reliant on the torrent software or desktop VPN client playing ball.

Happy to share my script if it will be handy to you.

520,

You're still failing to answer the first question:

what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging?

Because...it's not entertaining either. If I wanted to watch people bang, I'd just go find some porn.

520,

Okay, but what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging? What additional point are you making that warrants not cutting to the next scene after that point has been established?

Lots of film and show makers don't ask these questions when they make their sex scenes so the result is boring filler.

520,

It is rarely ever portrayed as anything deeper or meaningful in current media.

520,

Good tips and I'll write them down

520,

How can you even make this argument without even referencing a show?

Halo. MC goes to interrogate an enemy prisoner of war and literal enemy of humanity. Ends up sleeping with them.

Game of Thrones. Multiple instances, usually including rape, incest, prostitution.

520,

There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things.

Sorry, I put this through my translator but all I got out was 'i don't actually have a point to make so I'm just going to pretend I won the argument'. Is this correct?

Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery

It's cute that you think the kinds of shows that have sex scenes are anything other than a mockery of human relationships in themselves. Do you not actually pay attention to the plots?

520,

Not Steam's fault. They got fucked by the EU for having regional pricing.

520,

This isn't a small increase in price, not for the Turkish. They're already struggling to get by.

That's not the case at all. These kind of Trojan operations are fly-by-night setups, and have the advantage of being able to react far faster than the official Devs. By the time you as the dev even know of the app's existence, they've already infected hundreds. And when you do get round to filing a takedown notice, they'll be back up the next day under a different name.

Even Nintendo can't get copyright infringing shit off Play Store in any fast capacity. Heck, Google will even run ads for people blatantly breaking copyright laws.

Edit: and that's before considering that Google won't let them onto play store and being only source available excludes them from eligibility for official F-Droid repos. They're going to have an absolute bitch of a time dealing with fakes and Trojans, even if they didn't release the source code at all

You mean the Tensor chips that don't appear until 6th gen, even though the project supports 5th and 4th gen?

They also literally state:

Devices need to be meeting the standards of the project in order to be considered as potential targets. In addition to support for installing other operating systems...

And

Devices with support for alternative operating systems as an afterthought will not be considered.

This pretty much rules out 99% of smartphones. I would argue this even rules out non-Pixel favourites such as the OnePlus lineup, even though I'm writing this on a Lineage-loaded OnePlus 7T. Support for other ROMs is there but it's quite fucky. Add in what you said about firmware support and yeah, only the Pixel lineup would apply.

520,

Then the argument would have been about died/slain.

No one is imagining 500 deaths in a string of events is people peacefully passing away in the night.

520,

And such quality shitposting too!

520,

Working with aggressor and commiting war crimes in Donbas wasn’t justification?

What war crimes were these? It's not like there was a war to begin with until Russia initiated one.

As for working with aggressors, would this be getting friendly with the EU and NATO? Gee, dunno why they'd want that kind of protection /s

All the Nazis (who want to murder Russians and were in Donbas) weren’t justification?

Every country has neonazis. Russia has neonazis. Should someone go and invade Russia then?

520, (edited )

The USSR had never worked with Germany beyond that of the rest of the world and worked far less than countries like the UK. To claim otherwise is ridiculous.

Hahahaha. Oh how very wrong you are.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_in_World_War_II

On 23 August 1939 the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Germany which included a secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into German and Soviet "spheres of influence", anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries.

They planned with the Nazis to basically divide up Europe.

Finland was allied with the Nazis and was the aggressor agaisnt the USSR.

You mean the same Nazis that the USSR had a non-aggression pact with? The one that wouldn't get broken until 1941, a year after the war with Finland ended?

Also:

The Soviets made several demands, including that Finland cede substantial border territories in exchange for land elsewhere, claiming security reasons – primarily the protection of Leningrad, 32 km (20 mi) from the Finnish border. When Finland refused, the Soviets invaded.

Ummm...pretty sure this makes Russia the aggressor, not Finland.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

The Winter War had fuck all to do with the Nazis. Stop making shit up.

Maybe you could bring that up if Hunka was Finish or from the Baltics. He wasn’t. He was Ukrainian and that was specificed.

There were also Ukrainians that fought against both the Soviets and the Nazis. These were known as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Insurgent_Army

(Seriously, you should do some actual reading on Russia's history. Interesting stuff.)

520, (edited )

Ah yes, you have provided no proof in reality.

I've provided links to journalistic reports. You've provided nothing but 'trust me bro'.

Zelensky (and you and everyone else) knows what it means to fight agaisnt the USSR in WW2.

You do know there was a few years in early WW2 where the USSR was working with the Nazis, right? And fighting its own war with Finland? (the winter war) And annexations of the Baltic States and Romania?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_in_World_War_II

Fighting against the USSR could mean that you fought for any of the above nations. Naziism wasn't the only thing to have happened during ww2, you know.

So you are essentially denying war crimes agaisnt Donbas civilians. If you don’t know about them, I advise you to stop speaking on them

Have you considered providing sources? Or literally anything other than just 'trust me bro'.

Your knowledge on Russian WW2 history is quite...lacking, so I'm sure you'll understand why I don't take your word for it.

520,

Zelensky didn't know who the fuck this guy was and neither did the Canadian House Speaker who invited him, which is why the latter resigned after the incident.

https://www.npr.org/2023/09/27/1201951754/canadas-house-speaker-steps-down-after-inviting-nazi-veteran-parliament

And are you actually denying Ukraine’s murder of Donbas civilians?

What murders? Do you have anything other than baseless claims? Links, maybe? I seem to be the only one posting proof of my claims here, feels a bit one sided.
