but without addressing the root cause it’s like plugging one hole as the dam is about to burst.

How would you “address the root cause”? A hint: government agencies are as clueless as you at best, and benefit from the current situation at usual.

What’s the funniest (and saddest) is when people who are supposedly against private discrimination repeat this when it fits them.

If only all these companies were so eager to censor Azeri posts calling Armenia “Western Azerbaijan”, doing genocide denial or right away calls to murder.

But “dehumanizing” group murdering people in droves right now is bad, because it may or may not intersect with an ethno-cultural group.

It won’t be too long till Hezbollah are my heroes. I may even become more tolerant to Marxism at some point ; one Marxist sci-fi book, which seemed either naive or hidden critique of USSR itself, now seems to be a pretty good description of our world.

It’s also similar to scammers. When you are not quite certain if you’ve been scammed, you’ll first ask. There’s a percentage of cases where you won’t bother for the sum, because you’ve used the energy on pinging them.

While in case of companies you could have used that energy to, say, post “X is crap” somewhere in the Web.

because 99% of the time it was just a flat out lie.

What I don’t understand is why they lie about something directly causal to the resolution.

Yep, that one where the person on the peak starts lecturing you in abstract terms about trying the simplest hypotheses and such, while you are trying to solve their problem.

I know the philosophy part that asshole is talking about, only he has no bloody clue which part is simple and which is not here.

It was a hang port on a switch in that case.

People who write screen broke shouldn’t be working with technology more advanced than a shovel

Shovel gay, pen have, paper end, rock good.

Most Zionist Jews I’ve met have become interested in their identity only because of Israel. Thoroughly assimilated before that. Not even one or two family Yiddish phrases for fitting situations (like az okh n vey or something).

Usually carriers of their home’s typical understanding of nationalism, only adapted for Israel. Cause at home it’s kinda frowned upon usually, while for Israel it’s something different, “allowed”, and they get to feel themselves better, of some different blood.

People are conditioned by Windows to treat it as normal that they are using something developed by a hostile entity, but that entity is kinda benevolent and doesn’t do … what it can always do and no one will notice for a few months or years.

I switched to Linux being 16, so - still sufficiently maximalist to just believe that it shouldn’t be this way at all. (Still I have Chromium installed and sometimes use it, so same situation as everyone.)

For sane adult people it’s hard to just say no to unhygienic parts of tech, at least in their own mind, because IRL of course you can’t get rid of everything bad.

Many people sincerely believe rules are a big thing and such organizations don’t violate those regularly. Even in the EU. Even when nobody will know.
