My point of view is that a human rights violation is a human rights violation regardless of the context in which it happens, and is therefore an important thing to discuss and give visibility to.
Labeling it as “political” and using that as an excuse to hide discussion of it feels like bootlicker behavior to me.
Yep, it’s very much “rules for thee but not for me” at .ml
ICE’s actions are political.
Discussing ICE’s actions is not necessarily political, unless you consider human rights violations to be necessarily political as a topic.
Silencing discussion of human rights violations implies tacit support for the action, so I guess we know now where .ml stands. Any claim of leftist ideology on their part is a sham, they just have a hard-on for authoritarians.
Learning not to take everything so seriously.
“Vhat are you… sinking about?”
If you meet a bear in the woods today, you met a bear. If all day long all you meet is bears…
you’re also a bear.
Theoretically you can submit complaints to the lead engineer, but there are very few, very old reports of anyone receiving a response and the sources are somewhat suspect.
Governments incur debt by selling bonds, which guarantee a certain repayment at a certain date. If the government fails to make the bond payments, fewer people will buy bonds in the future. You can’t “just add more” debt if no one is willing to actually lend you money.
Even talking about not making the payments damages the value of future bonds. This kills the dollar.
The really crazy part is that the US is absolutely solvent and capable of paying its debts. There is no good reason for this to even be a point of discussion. Not making the payments only hurts the country.
China would benefit most from the collapsing value of the US dollar.
Yeah people here are overlooking the Sharpie pen, it’s quite nice.
R&D life cycle… hundreds of millions of years.
The manufacturer takes a really long time to respond to new feature requests, and most of the support tickets are still open.
some BOFH energy
Beyond your eventual technical solution, keep this in mind: untested backups don’t exist.
I recommend reading some documentation about industry-leading solutions like Veeam… you won’t be able to reproduce all of the enterprise-level functionality, at least not without spending a lot of money, but you can try to reproduce the basic practices of good backup systems.
Whatever system you implement, draft a testing plan. A simpler backup solution that you can test and validate will be worth more than something complex and highly detailed.
The US Department of Education doesn’t mandate any curriculum from the federal level. States set their own curriculum guidelines.
If you hear someone making this complaint about the federal government dictating what can and can’t be taught in schools, they are either being intentionally disingenuous (in which case they should be called out for it immediately) or they are an idiot who bought this idea being peddled by someone else (in which case they should be enlightened).
Christians (and any other group that wants) can (and do) already have their own private schools.
I mean… exposed to each other, sure, but they’re all exposed to Syncthing and the public relays.
Eh, column A… column B…
It’s not just pining for my misspent youth, it’s the sense of community… the shared common experience of playing games together and shouting insults at each other across the room, getting together and comparing PC builds, helping each other with troubleshooting, plugging two 360s into each other for a 4v4 on Snowbound…
In some ways the activity doesn’t matter that much, it’s the spending time with other people… but that time and place where a really good game matched with a good group of players was where the most fun happened.
No game can ever be really great without a community, and there are aspects of community-building that don’t translate into online spaces, especially not ones that charge rent.
Oh I’m absolutely into board games. I’m playing through Jaws of the Lion with a friend right now.
There’s a fair bit of nostalgia in this lament. I don’t just want to have a LAN party… I want LAN party culture back. The ubiquity of the online services has killed it.
“Never mind joining me, I’m joining you…”
