Let’s give them credit. Maybe their first experience was installing Gentoo, which is when Windows is better.

I think you’re on to something. I have a 10 year old laptop with linux, 4 cores, 8gb of ram, a mechanical drive, and a win10 vm on it and it runs fine for it’s purpose.
No. Because the antediluvians running the party don’t understand why they keep losing. Maybe they should try a tactic other than "Stop, or I’ll say stop again.
I read the BBC article your link cited.
A couple of really telling points.
What it doesn’t say is what happens when support against regime change is >50%. 2/3rd of the US population through either direct support (voted for) or indirect support (couldn’t care to vote), put a convicted criminal racist rapist who was very clear what he was going to do, in power.
How many of those non-violent campaigns had foreign intelligence support for them, and how many against? The CIA, FSB (KGB) and many others had their fingerprints all over so many of those. Certainly today, we know without a doubt that Trump has been and likely still is supported by the FSB. And yet, not a disqualifier.
People have been protesting so long against him that some people who were in diapers when he announced his intentions to run, will be old enough to vote in the next election. If there is one.
As a historical study, it’s great. But in terms of analyzing the current modern state, nothing older than 20 years should be considered. Technology has changed the game so much that comparing the world of today to the world of pre-2000 is useless. 20 years may even be too much.
Twitter helped overthrow the Egyptian regime, but today is owned by one of the people running the regime.
While the scope is too wide, it’s also too narrow because it only goes back to 1900. It misses some very important events.
There is more, and I kept the scope for the same approximate period of time as the study did.
What’s important to note here, is the study looked at a post WW1 world where the League of Nations and the UN provided a place to air a countries dirty laundry and organize counters against them like public shaming and sanctions. A large part of the success being the support of the United States. Today, the US is actively dismantling the institutions that kept the world from needing violence for positive change.
It also excludes regime changes using foreign military support. So no;
And the most important example, because it has the most significance to today…
So here I sit in 1937 Poland, listening to the Orange Oberbefehlshaber talk about how all of the countries around are taking advantage of them, and how large sections of the population of those countries support him, and how Vichy Alberta wants to join them…
How many fucks do you think I’ll give about protests against him when US tanks are rolling down my street.
The protests have proven to be irrelevant and ignored. Trump and his idiocy has been protested for a decade. He’s been convicted of crimes, he was declared by a court to be a rapist, when he speaks, he clearly has mush for brains, people close to him have called him a racist, he formented an insurrection. And yet here we are…
Clearly holding up signs, even in large groups is doing fuck all.
Thomas Jefferson had something to say about what the situation calls for.
I don’t understand why so many Americans don’t get that. I hear, Canadians are upset at tariffs. I hear, Canadians are worried about border issues.
Both are true.
But that’s not why we’re enraged. It’s because an unhinged, racist, sexist, authoritarian, mentally challenged dictator has threatened to destroy our country and everyone there is doing fuck all about it.
OnlyOffice works with MSOffice files (100% compatibility is a stated goal), and it looks like MSOffice in terms of UI.
I even replaced MSOffice with it in Windows.
Controlled production is not the same thing as a subsidy. Canada controls supply. There is a quota system. No US dairy supplier ever uses their quota, so don’t get dinged with tariffs.
It is literally nothing.
Just to further your point. It’s like Cirque du Soleil, scripted, but they are really doing those moves.
I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.
Only a fucking piece of trash thinks it’s ok for a teacher to look at a kid’s junk, regardless of if the parents give consent.
It was the straw that broke the camels back to get me to switch to Linux.
That’s my answer too. I went a month with just trying to make basic things work. Had to go back to being productive. Now, I bought another drive and I spend time whenever I have it. Once everything works as i need it to, I’ll switch full time.
Omg… i wish I knew about this 2 weeks ago…
Also, scale matters. If 4 posts increased to 7, that’s a 75% increase I’m not concerned about. Now, 40,000 to 70,000 concerns me.
It already can.
There are some places where an inability to pay fines, can result in a warrant and imprisonment.
8% now. 20 years ago, it was a third of that. If there is profit to be made, profit will be made. It’s also just one small factor in an extremely shitty whole.
The fact prison labour exists at all is an issue. If prisoners truly benefited from it, like a fair wage plus every day reducing their sentence, then I could hold my nose, but as is. Slavery.
This is proof they don’t understand the endgame here. The only (legal) type of slavery left in the United States is prisoner labour. It is not a coincidence that the right wants to make so many things criminal. It’s also not a coincidence they want to keep poor people desperate because it makes them more likely to commit crime. It’s not a coincidence they support minimum sentences.
More crime, more free labour, more for profit prisons selling services…
Because it’s never been about anything other than control. The right to choose anything is abhorrent to them. The only rights they want you to have are the right to be dictated to and the right to be like them.
MS did a shift like that already. The shift from MS-DOS to NT was transparent to the vast majority of people to the point that most people didn’t realize they were two different OSes.
I don’t see why they couldn’t do it again. NTVDM was similar in concept to what wine does. Imagine if MS actively contributed to wine, or a wine like project.
