Media has consistently been putting too much weight into statements and what people say as if it were facts.

I still think it’s better than discord. And alliance auth tied in super easy.

Besides, I think it’s better that it’s usually hosted on an individual corp/alliance level.

Shut should do one thing. And do it well.

Totally fair.

I do admit the phones look cool and have some very nice features. But they’ve been on my “never buy” list for a long time for all their products, phones included.

I think not being able to uninstall Facebook was one of the breaking points when I last trialed their phone.

It’s been a while since I used Samsung. My work phone is a Samsung flip of some sort that gets powered on once a month.

However, it’s not just their phones that have me turned off. Their TVs built in OS is shit and they just had a whole lot of bad press for their fridges that will start showing ads. Not to mention how their appliances tend to have the shortest lifespan of comparably prices appliances.

Good hardware, but consistently anti consumer software.

Samsung is on my shit list. Their spammy, ad riddled UI is infuriating.

I don’t trust them. They lock their phones down and don’t let you remove their bloatware or block their ads/notifications.

Fuck them. Never buy Samsung.

Why would he completely remodel the white house if he was planning to leave in 3 years?

“I think that our legal analysis is that we have to use the emergency money for emergencies,” he said. “But if you think about it, we’re in something that a Democrat judge is willing to say is an emergency”

Fucking asshole. You represent the orange turd that used “declaring an emergency” as his modus operandi for seizing powers.

What can be done with that foul smelling fart spray?

I saw this before I saw anything from the accounts.

“Why shouldn’t federal troops empower the people in Chicago to live safe lives when the governor and the local mayor (Brandon Johnson) just simply refuse to do their job?” -Vance

What he’s saying is “why shouldn’t we be able to unilaterally make decisions for the people of a City in direct opposition to those individuals will and what they voted for? And why shouldn’t we be able to use force and violence to do it?”

I can only hope there is justice in this world and he gets to face a jury and is held accountable for his words and actions.

They were going to do it anyway. Shut down or not.

They planned for either option and we the people are losing our. Either passing the CR or shutting down the government.

If you don’t do any harm. All the theater goers know your about to light it and can leave if they don’t want to be there and it’s done as a form of protest.

Why do you keep using an example where its potentially significantly dangerous?

You can keep doing what-about-isms all day. This was a clear first amendment protected act and the charges are being used to punish political speech.

No. You cannot.

The act explicitly was done in protest. As an act of first amendment protected speech, as flag burning was explicitly determined to be by the supreme court.

The application of these laws is purely political. Used solely because the object burned was the flag. Intent is always included in prosecuting criminal acts. It is often the determining factor in whether laws even apply.

Burning a flag a California forest is a false equivalency. And for the most part, yes, you could go out into the forest and burn a flag. It would be stupid and you would be liable for any damages you caused if it started a wildfire. You wouldn’t be prosecuted just for burning the flag.

The entire premise on first amendment speech applying here is super important, because if you can make it criminal to do something related, like starting a fire at all, you have, in effect, made that act of free speech illegal. This is crucial. Fundamental.

Chicago has a rule. To work for the city in any capacity. You MUST live in the city. Police, fire, City Hall, public works. You live in the place you are tasked with protecting or serving. You can’t even live in the suburbs 1 block outside city limits.

This is explicitly the opposite in many other places where police are specifically not allowed to live where they police. From what I understand, it’s so that there isn’t a conflict of interest enforcing rules against neighbors.

Thats a wild stat to through out without a source. It’s like you consider some people are bad and just inherently criminals.

But we can ignore that for a minute, it’s really not important

Let’s spend a moment on how you just mentioned “crimes.” Because there is a lot of difference between crimes. We have so many laws on the books. And far too many of them result in jail or prison time. We simply can’t keep treating every single offence as one that involves losing a portion of a person’s life. And that’s not even mentioning the impact on ones family life and job for even arrests with days or weeks of incarceration.

Criminal sentencing has ballooned as we dehumanize people who make a mistake or bad decision for whatever reason. As soon as I hear someone describe someone as a criminal, I can tell that they don’t see them as a person anymore. They’ve developed a preconceived notion that they are irredeemably bad. It’s how the police and how ICE make out the people it’s targeting in a way to shift public opinion. They are bad, so we can do anything to them because they aren’t people worthy of giving a shit about.

But “criminals” are people. Many of which have made a poor decision due to circumstances beyond their control. Many who regret what they did. They don’t deserve to be dehumanized.

We need a comprehensive review of our criminal sentencing. Fewer crimes should result in jail terms, jail terms should be shorter, mandatory minimums need to be eliminated. Remove prosecutors and DAs from being an elected position and make “tough on crime” be something people should be ashamed to say.

And I know that mandatory minimums have a history in working to address racial disparity in sentencing. However, I think we need to develop different solutions rather than increase the sentencing for everyone.

No. We weren’t. This discussion was about phones and the software we are being allowed to install on them.

The law does nothing to restrict us in that capacity. The restrictions are imposed by the manufacturer of the phone.

You made the fallacious false equivalency of comparing that with guns and laws.

That sounds like just changing who is verifying the developer. Whether it’s the EFF (because they aren’t going to put their name and reputation at risk for unreviewed source code) or google, the issue is the same.

Someone has to be the middle man in deciding what is allowed to be installed.

Except we aren’t talking about the law. We are talking about corporations that sell you something and then retain control over it.

You have no say in the process, you have no representation. These are not rules that we as a society have determined to be in the best interests of all of us. These are unilateral decisions placed upon us. You have no recourse if you disagree other than don’t use the thing.

Guns don’t prevent you from doing anything. You still have the capability to do whatever you want with the thing. However, if you use it in a manner than harms someone else, in a way that we as a society have proposed, voted, and created laws prohibiting, then you deal with the consequences. But that is very different from having something in the gun that prevents it from taking ammo from another manufacturer. Or making it unable to shoot unless you pay a monthly fee.

Unraid has a table of the docker containers.

I don’t need metrics or stats. I wouldn’t look at, or care about them anyway. Dashboards feel like tech enthusiast crap. Tech and resources for the sake of having tech. My services are to solve a problem, not look at metrics of.
