Political Custard

Good grief, it’s another China obsessive! Your mate call you here?

Who is the OP? They joined one year ago, 3k posts many reposted all over, very few comments, vast majority of posts concern China. Whoever you are, you are paid to shill. Grim.

I have AtlasOS. I only use Windows for two games, Rust and Destiny 2, that absolutely do not play on Linux. You will absolutely get better performance because the number of background tasks running all the time is quite minimal - it’s clean and there’s no store, no crappy apps you don’t want. I don’t care about security on the machine because I literally only game on it and maybe a little bit of web research if I get stuck on a game somehow. Anyway, I think it’s good, it’s really how Windows should be - if Windows didn’t get so bad perhaps I wouldn’t have gone to Linux.

You could try dual-booting for a bit to see how you like it.

A friend of mine used to mark undergrad papers, to be honest this would be a kindness to teachers.

Espionage can result in a death penalty but it’s currently the case that the UK (courts) would like a guarantee from the US (lol) that he won’t be executed. Other than that I think it’s over 100 years and they can add more charges when he arrives.

They did something similar with Chelsea Manning, announced they were “thinking about a pardon” to see if there would be pushback.

It’s proving to be rather embarrassing for the UK, it’s clear to many here how he’s been treated and how much of a stitch up the trial has been. I imagine the US could do without the international attention on this - court cases, more Russia speculation in an election year.

And the “authorities” have made their point: don’t try to take the piss out of us, we will ruin your life even if we don’t get you to trial. Julian Assange’s case will certainly be putting off quite a few people from becoming radical journalists.

Shit in… shit out, or to put it another way: racism in… racism out.

I propose we create another LLM… a Left Language Model.

Sorry, you are correct. I researched plans to get a Kobo last year and I guess what I found out morphed from a rooted Kobo with Koreader into Kobo being open source. My apologies.

I can’t wait to get a (regular) Kobo, my Kindle Paperwhite is still going strong and it’s 10 years old, but I really want a Kobo because it’s opensource. Amazon’s OS is dreadful, mine’s been in airplane mode for most of those 10 years and I just use a usb cable with it. I hope it dies soon so I will have a good excuse to replace it.

Nice news to read. I hope we will see many more court cases; it’s clear we cannot rely on politicians to try to fix this problem.

Yes, I agree. I said that rather tongue in cheek. 😅 It can be tough sometimes, but in the long run I know where I’d rather be. 😀

All I would say to miserable progressives is: try being a proper leftist, then you’ll know what real misery is like.

Let’s hope they chose a memorable password for the account… a very very memorable password.

Are Western analyses going to be so limited in scope from now on that there is absolutely no need to ask (let alone answer)̉̉̉ the question: has Russia in any way been provoked?

Never let is be asked: is there an ever-so-slight possibility that this might be blowback from something the West did.

I am not saying that the West is solely responsibly for Russian violence but it certainly cannot be said that the West played no part. This continual inability to question “our own” behaviour is going to mean mistakes are never going to be acknowledged and learned from in order to help us to avoid making serious, hugely deadly mistakes in future.

I put malt extract in my porridge, it adds a lovely colour and flavour, I’d never thought of using it in bread!

It might be that the bakers of the really dark stuff are using a caramel colouring, I have seen a couple of recipes that use it: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2008/10/26/pumpernickel-bread-how-to-make-your-own-caramel-coloring/

I could imagine it might be popular with commercial/artisnal breadmakers as people think darker breads are healthier breads.

I am campaigning for LTU then… Uncoordinated Lunar Time, then people on the moon can do what they want whenever they damn well feel like it.

People in India were watching people checkout?! Poorly paid workers watching Westerners consume… this is so grim.

Time to dust off those guillotines.

People are still printing? I love it, proppa old skool that is. I thought the only person who printed stuff anymore was my mum who prints out her daily crossword.

Don’t forget to boycott HP because, not only are they shit printers, they provide computer hardware for the IDF, Israel’s police, and their Immigration and Population Authority. https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp
