That’s right: it is a fucking tool, which means nothing the user does to it or with it could possibly count as “abuse” by the user. An OS is supposed to exist to do exactly the computer owner’s bidding; no more, no less.

But Microsoft certainly doesn’t see it that way. Instead, Windows exists to do Microsoft’ bidding, computer owner’s rights be damned. It’s Microsoft that’s abusing you, by whoring you out to advertisers and subverting your property against you, when you use Windows.

If you’re going to go back in time to help Sega, you should go farther back and stop them from releasing the 32x against the Saturn.

ITT: Stockholm Syndrome victims defending the abusive relationship they have with their OS.

Newsflash, honey: she doesn’t respect you; she only wants to exploit you. It’s time to break up!

In a sane world, it would be 90%+ Harris. It is absolutely catastrophic that half the country is in thrall to a fascist cult.

The latter is a win for him; destroying the integrity of the election is his primary strategy.

Can’t believe how dumb lemmy can be at times.

“Every single number is elevated, from hate crimes, political homicides, people driving into protesters, you name it,” said Rachel Kleinfeld, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Yet more fucking car-supremacist diminutive language. Running over protestors is “political homicide,” damn it!

The consensus among experts is not just that political violence in the U.S. will become more diffuse in location, but that potential targets will be more varied, as well. Heightened polarization has extended the division between “left” and “right” so deeply that even people and organizations that do human services work are having to think about security.

No, assholes, only the right has radicalized. Why do you think you have to falsely “both sides” it?

Shit like this – constantly and systematically making little excuses for terrible people out of some misguided sense of politeness or decorum – is part of how we got into this mess in the first place!

It’s not just urban planners; it’s also the Federal Housing Administration, which created lending guidelines back in the day that redlined all the dense traditional development.
