I never said I had a problem in my AMD rigs either, but you obviously can’t read. I ‘ve encountered those issues on others peoples’ PCs that they asked me to fix.

You obviously have less experience in fixing windows’ issues since you think they do not exist. If you knew how to Google you could find many many people having issues in Windows, many of those remaining unresolved in some case even after applying either a manufacturer or MS provided fix.

I called you a kiddo because you use childish insults like PEBKAC, if you want to insult somebody do it in the open.

Kiddo fuck off. I 've installed them plenty of time as well, still it’s a common issue mainly due to windows update. I obviously fixed that as well as plenty of shit you probably either never seen or pretend you didn’t.

You can’t bullshit me man. I ‘ve been using solving peoples’ issues with Windows before I ever downloaded a Linux distro.

Most of the problems average users won’t see with windows is because they buy it preinstalled while they have to install linux themselves. So they 'll be spared being unable to install AMD gpu drivers on a fresh Win 10 install if they made the mistake of not installing them before connecting the machine to the internet and Win Update fucking things up.

However windows update will get them later. Windows start menu refused to work after an update on a friends’ pc. Or it will be fail to apply an update and failing with no troubleshootable information only to fail again on next reboot and again and again. Or explorer crashing hundreds times a second causing users to have a black screen after login.

You are technically right in that the average user will not use the terminal (or registry, or booting to safe mode), they will pay someone else to do that or cope with it.

It’s telling you are not even going to defend your points.

Windows being mainstream is not due to being easier to use or setup/configure (which the mainstream does not do) nor due to it being more robust or easier to fix (which it isn’t, plenty of guys make their living fixing windows issues, usually by wiping and reinstalling because documentation for most things in windows is very shallow).

It’s because the mainstream buys PCs and they are sold with windows

Sure AMD’s drivers have not been a crapshot in windows forever, DDU dance is not a thing.

Sometimes to solve a windows problem you also get terminal commands, or get told to change settings in the registry. But usually users download some random binary tool that claims it will fix their problem. They will accept any UAC prompt as trained to do since Vista.

Frankly you are comically biased.

They most certainly have this covered in ToS. IP law is not about actual creators’ rights.

Not sure since I don’t use a VPN. If they assigned a unique public IP per user they could just forward every incoming connection to the user’s PC.

If they don’t they need to setup some port forwarding rules.

If openVPN leaks IPs that’s surely a bug, if it’s specific to v6 you can’t use openVPN and IPv6 till the bug is fixed

Port forwarding is necessary due to NAT not firewalls.

It’s not that your router blocks new incoming connections at port X, it’s that it does not know which local client it’s meant for, since it’s addressed to the public IP that is held by your router.

With IP6 it’s lan client also gets assigned a public IP6 address (as there are plenty) and so the router receives a connection addressed to a Lan client and knows where to route it.

But visudo can use any editor if you set SUDO_EDITOR or EDITOR variables. If you don’t want to use vi(m) you should probably set EDITOR in your .bashrc and visudo and probably other programs will use your editor of choice.

It’s not 160 (seconds) it’s 1 (minutes) **:**60 (seconds). My microwave always keeps the : when I input time.

You are not going to get a sound legal advice on jury nullification in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the concept of a jury.

No shit Sherlock, that’s my argument.

Calling that murky is missing the point.

Nope, the whole point is that LW is mentioning Dutch, German and Finnish law into their defense of banning discussion of jury nullification. As well as differences of EU and US law in regards to hate speech exceptions to the right to free speech (which EU does have).

We do have rules on hate speech, incitement to violence etc. so freedom of speech is not an absolute right

We have laws on banking as well, I am not going to accept your sly attempts to equate jury nullification with hate speech, no matter how many times you try. By the way I don’t think you know what ‘counts’ as hate speech, just saying ‘x deserved to die’ does not cut it, it needs to be related to ethnicity, gender etc.

‘X deserves to die’ might qualify as a threat (if credible) but in our prime (and only, LW only has dealt with jury nullification in regards to the united health case)example X is already dead, they can’t be credible threats.

It’s your opinion that calling for jury nullification constitutes hate speech, in a legal sense for some of the jurisdictions mentioned? Because without that assumption it’s not an article on the exact topic.

More importantly is that the LW admins opinion? They don’t mention hate speech but they mention threats of violence. But their post is ambiguous on what exactly the issue is with advocating for jury nullification.

Nobody is saying a person should be shot. They are saying a jury should not convict the perpetrator even if he is guilty. You are claiming that Dutch law equates the two, despite not being a legal expert.

But that is not even my question, which you cannot answer if you are not related to LW admins or a psychic. Did they base their policy towards jury nullification to legal advice or not? Did they even base it on their own layman understanding of the laws or is it just their discretion?

Their statement is murky, in my opinion purposely so, in order to deflect criticism for their choice to censor posts ‘celebrating’ violence. It’s their right to do so but so is mine and other’s to criticize them for it and especially for presenting it as an issue of lack of free speech in the EU.

You are not answering the question.

You are taking for granted that that advocating for jury nullification is advocating for the actual crime to be committed. But you are not a legal expert.

Is advocating for lower sentences for some crimes illegal? Would calling for legalization of drug use constitute a crime?

That jury nullification does not exist in Dutch law is not in favor of it being interpreted as advocacy t commit a crime.

I wanted to address the LW admins. I can see how it may seems I am asking for everyone’s opinion.

I did not exclude future crimes from my question.

Is your opinion that advocating for jury nullification would constitute some violation of Dutch, Finnish or German law based on legal advice?

Torrents aren’t a piracy technology. A lot of Linux distros, especially non corp backed, are distributed via torrents since its more efficient.

Linus chose to move to the US as well to become a US citizen.

To be fair he never claimed to be an idealist.

Also he is anti Russian himself as he made clear in his first comment in the thread. So being forced to remove them is probably a bonus for him.

Does Russia invading Ukraine justify the US invading Iraq?

Though we are discussing individuals here, should we ban Americans in projects to maintain moral integrity?

BTW are you referring to historical (pre 1990) expansion as well? Because an American really shouldn’t want to go there.
