Nah, that's some eugenics bullshit. People don't lose value just because their health is failing. They're still people.

What her health does change is the threat that she posed.

Explain why you as a trained officer need a taser to subdue a 95 year old frail woman who needs a walker.

Just literally take a step back, or grab her wrist. It's not hard.

What is Windows 10 LTSC? LTSC is the abbreviation of Long Term Servicing Channel. It is a stripped-down enterprise operating system based on a specific version of Windows 10. Windows 10 LTSC don’t have pre-installed apps such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana assistant, News, etc. Using the LTSC service model, you can delay receiving feature updates and only receive monthly device quality updates.

Holy SHIT they made a version with the worst stuff removed AND they're going to maintain it longer? That is the version everybody should be using.

I'm slowly switching to linux but there are things I'm going to need Windows for for the foreseeable future, and I think I've found how I can make that happen. Thank you.

It's still enabled by default and acts as FUD for the average user who won't know to disable it and will get spooked by it.

That it can be opted out of doesn't change its propaganda value at all.

They'll have to settle for "warning" the user if they detect a file that was made by libreoffice.

That sounds exhausting to me.

Like seriously what busywork is so routine and so basic that you need an AI to do it but couldn't make a template for it? And how is it less work to read what it gave you to check for errors? That's always the harder part of coding in my experience.

I would love to know the specifics of where this supposedly saves time.

I suspect the energy you're putting into learning this tool could go into becoming a better typist, and you wouldn't need to cook the planet to do it.

If enough researchers talk about the problems then that will eventually break through the bubble and investors will pull out.

We're at the stage of the new technology hype cycle where it crashes, essentially for this reason. I really hope it does soon because then they'll stop trying to force it down our throats in every service we use.

Because it was on video, it's easy to digest, and it reveals something about his character. It especially makes clearer his reasons for dragging the kid everywhere he goes; it's clearly not because he gives a shit about the kid. It makes the abuse a lot more obvious, and detracts from the humanising effect of the kid.

Like if you thought the issue was that people thought the moment had some serious material impact on the kid's wellbeing, or that he actually lost his kid in a crowd or something, then I think you just missed the point of it entirely.

Also if you thought context makes it better, the people who were physically there and were presumably supporters of him said "you're leaving your kid", so it's like... obviously an issue, by admission of people who wouldn't want to admit it.

Like you could ask the same thing about his Nazi salute. We focused on it because it tells us something about who he is. The exact posture of his hand in that moment didn't physically hurt anyone, it's about the message it sends, and that message is going to hurt people.

And yes bad parents are everywhere, and Elon is unsurprisingly among them.

This is super basic stuff.

I've watched it too. The image it paints is of someone who has no concept of how children actually behave, presumably because he's never had a reason to spend time with them before.

It's not about needing to helicopter over the kid. If I was with a friend and we were walking somewhere together I'd pay more attention to them than that. That kind of full back turned walk away when you clearly expect to be kept up with is disrespectful unless you are actually intending to walk away and leave the person. The fact he felt the need to turn back and hurry the kid along shows he just gave no consideration to the kid.

He does it multiple times too. Walk away; hurry up; walk away; hurry up. This guy is herding this kid he just doesn't know how to do it, like he expects a retinue or something.

Like you can read it differently if you want but I don't agree with your assessment. The body language is pretty clear to me.

Just wait till he walks off negligently ignoring the child. Boom, no more human shield.

Cooking up charges and rigging a court case specifically to take you down is a different level of hate though.

Oh arrested? Wow, only guilty people are arrested by states led by their fascist political rivals. If he's arrested, he must be guilty. That's how justice works.

You could've said "convicted", but that was annulled and a UN human rights committee found that:

The committee concluded that prosecutors and the lead judge in the investigation, Sergio Moro, showed bias in Lula's case, violating his right to be presumed innocent.

I'm not a fan of politicians in general, but I'd take these charges more seriously if the people prosecuting them weren't so flagrantly politically motivated and breaking the rules. Presumably the reason he was tried in the wrong court was because the state was shopping for a judge that wouldn't give him a fair trial. If he's that guilty, they've muddied the waters by not actually caring about his guilt, and it's going to be way harder to get anything to stick anymore. Like they were in charge of the whole fucking country, how were they this bad at persecuting him?

What I do know is that when a fascist like Bolsonaro is that mad at you, you might actually be doing something right.

This is genocide denial plain and simple.

Also remember that whenever anyone tries to tell you that you shouldn't be bringing up Biden's genocide support because it might hurt his chances in the US election, they are also doing genocide denial. They are genocide deniers.

They may not be denying that the genocide is happening, they're just denying that we should talk about it. They're denying its importance.

And sure, Trump would probably be worse at this, so vote. But if Biden genuinely needs widespread genocide denial to win then that is not only not an acceptable thing to ask of voters, it is also unhinged. People know about the genocide, they know Biden is dragging his feet on the issue and pretending that's not happening just to protect him makes his case look extremely weak.

If you really think that no amount of denouncement and excoriation will influence him to stop supporting genocide then again, you are saying awful things about him without realising it.
