  • It is possible. Because the rich and powerful go totally bonkers when AI comes up.

    Why do you think the rich are so keen to see it. Sure as hell not to increase the cost of doing business.

    I’ll buy AI will never have the power claimed. But it already has the power to replace a metric fuck ton of jobs. And lots of the so called rich and powerful are working fucking hard to make sure folks feel comfortable relying on it.

    You have to be pretty blind to think they are doing that for any other reason then to enhance there own position on the inequality scale.


  • Would have a point. If this was about him facing charges.

    But it’s his employer. Any one who has worked knows Thier employer will never support this when acting in their name.

    If you work retail even security no company is going to let you act to stop violence when in their name. They all make it clear to employees. Let the criminal go. Otherwise the company is too worried about taking responsibility for any harm customer or criminal.

    It may not be right. But hardly a suprise.




  • MoHonestly, it has improved over the years.

    Most distros now have dark mode installs with higher contrast. But adjustable font size and any form of text to speech during install seems missing.

    Text to speech is available on most DE’s but very like windows. It is still very unintuitive for low vision rather than 0 vision use. Unfortunately, developers with no vision issues still fail to recognise speed matters in real life. And folks with limited vision tend to need the ability to only use text to speech on set text. IE the ability to enlarge most text and just speak on text we choose. Android is very good at that now. But desktop OSes still make visual impaired difficult to compete time wise with non-disabled users.

    I have found it impossible to adjust menu font sizes on the vast majority of DE’s using a start like menu. Not to mention how bad the majority of more modern (fasionable) DE and application interface trends are for people needing to remember locations.

    Fortunately, most Linux DE’s do have the ability to quickly magnify sections of the screen using alt and mouse scroll.

    As for some applications, insistence on gray text on white or lighter gray backgrounds. Why the hell is this so darn common now. Even folks with good vision find it awful.

    Seriously take the OS 3d slicing software available. Every time I install one. I takes most of a day to find out how to make anything even slightly visible. Their is absolutely no reason for it.





  • As he did.

    DHS Also has rules banning shooting at moving vehicles.

    But it is very clear from the video framed from behind the victims car… During all 3 shots both his feet can be seen to the left of the car.

    Killing the driver of a car heading towards you is about the dumbest way to stop a car. Even if the driver was intent on hitting a person. A dead driver is unable to take his foot of the pedal.

    Also. Given the position of the windscreen bullet hole. No angle where the shooter is in the front of the car. Would he be aiming at the driver. In fact he would have to be aiming at the other ICE agent. Or the driver would have to have her head outside the window, while the videos make it clear she was not.

    This was a murder. His past experience may be his motivation. But self defense clearly was not.





  • Note: This is in no way me supporting the gov. Just considering the thought process.

    While the gov seems not to care about public opinion.

    It seems likely drawing that conclusion and banning a well known person. May be such a bad move even Starmer was hesitant. His option likely were.

    Allow her in. Knowing she will protest. At least he can jail her.

    Reject her where she will still protest and have huge access to the media while explaining the UKs argument.






  • Not sure they are required to have a coherent view on the solution.

    As the complaint is that the prisoners are being treated like terrorists. For comiting property damage. At a time when their org was in no way classed as terrorists.

    The hypocrisy of solutions is part of the point of the complaint. IE they should not be treated the way they are. So folks objecting to the treatment have zero requirement to define a solution that allows the gov to continue to treat them that way.

    Put bluntly novaras claim is they demands are.

    Stop calling protesters terrorist’s. Stop supporting genocide. And treat them based on the crime they committed. Property damage.

    The government choice is to agree to this. Or suffer the media backlash of their actions.

    The idea "Their options are let them die or force feed them”. is just a totally false statement.

    Their job is to point that falsehood out. Not provide a solution that allows the gov to continue abuse.
