No Windows, no such Windows "features".

Never forget that this time around the Holocaust has the full support of the US, the UK and (once again) Germany.

[–] Aceticon 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a XXI century Holocaust.

This was expectable ever since Israeli leader started openly making statements about Palestinians when were extreme similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews and the Roma, for example calling them "human animals" and "vermin" and talking about having a "Final plan" for Gaza.

The Zionists are the present day version of the Nazis, and they're well on track to doing the same thing, this time around with the help of pro-Nazi governments in the West, especially the US, UK and Germany.

The whole "pro-Palestine = antisemite” was a naked appeal to Racism.

Those who are pro-People (Humanists) don't care about the ethnicity of the aggressors or the victims, only the inherent character of the actions being committed.

It's only the Racists who would judge the actions differently depending on the ethnicity of the aggressors or the victims.

Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

As does Linux.

Well, running pirated games in Linux does mean doing diagnostics of why a game won't work - i.e. figure out the missing system DLLs and adding them with Winetricks - rather that having the fansy-pantsy install scripts in something like Steam or Lutris do it for you.

On the upside you can sandbox the pirated games in Linux.

For one of my games the official Steam copy wouldn't run in Linux, yet a pirate version runs just fine.

In summary, if you're doing the normal, expected thing, it's generally fine (with but a few exceptions) and works out of the box because there are scripts configuring Wine/Proton with the right DLLs for that game, but if you do anything outside that, you do have to understand how to get Wine/Proton to output the appropriate log information, what to look for in it to figure out which DLLs you need, and how to add the right DLLs (and which version: built-in or native) to that Wine/Proton environment once you figured out that you need it.

That's what pisses me off about these tribalists coming out to parrot the post-defeat "it wasn't our fault for not trying to be appealing, it was the fault of the plebes for not supporting us" DNC propaganda.

"Always blame the peasants, never the kings!"

It's hilariously subservient and the avoidance of change inside the Democrat Party that this "let's not criticize our leaders" aims to achive pretty much guarantees a similar result next time the Democrats face a Republican populist - Fascism - and that part is the very opposite of hilarious.

It's also seriously hypocrite to cloak yourself in a "we want to protect trans people" cloak whilst fighting against the criticism of the Democrat Party that can change the very leaders whose choices and strategies resulted in the current situation where trans people are getting harmed: if they genuinelly wanted to protect trans people from harm, they would not spend their time trying divert criticism away from their holy cows.

There are at least two major axis in politics: the Left-Right axis and the Freedom-Authoritarianism axis.

It might not seem so for people who grew up and live in subverted Democracies with Mathematically-rigged voting systems to enforce Power Duopolies (not as bad as Dictatorship but not actually having Free Choice) because they've grown up immersed in the "Two Sides" propaganda framing where all political and social subjects are portrayed as only ever having two possible options rather than the multitude of options that pretty much all human affairs have, so they naturally have a perception of politics that collapses everything into just this one line with two ends.

Stalin was Left + Authoritarian, same as the Communist Party in China.

In Europe there are Leftwing parties which are Left + Freedom such as Social Democrat parties.

In the US there's only Right + Authoritarian and Right + Center (Democrats do have some Authoritarian tendecies, as seen in the continued militarization of police under them, their crack down on Occupy Wall Street and their reaction to the anti-Genocide movement in Universities, so I hesitate in considering them to be on the Freedom size of that political axis, but they're definitelly nowhere as Authoritarian as Republicans).

Accepting that "if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander" would require them not to be hypocrites.

Yeah, that was exactly the strategy that the Democrat leadership followed: no need to try and appeal to voters or even be seen as somebody who can represent them, just convince people that they have to vote Democrat to defeat Trump.

Tell me again how well did that work ...

Yet here come once again the Democrat Party tribalists parroting the "blame the people who the Democrat Party leaders didn't even try to appeal to for not voting Democrat" political propaganda that exonerates from blame the assholes in the Democrat Party leadership who wanted to cheat at Democracy by getting votes without even trying to represent voters.

Congrats for keeping on setting the groundwork for the exact same shit as the current electoral result to happen again: until the Democrat Party actually starts trying to represent anybody other than the moneyed elites, it will always be susceptible to losing to populists promising change.

Keep on blaming the plebes for the results of the choices of your masters.
