  • Bedeviled NXP/ARM SDK stdlib. Hate it, we need \n\r there. Why????!?!?! What a PITA.

  • ... but allegedly based on stolen source printouts from the college dumpster, and written using stolen time on their timeshare mainframes.

  • You bring up a good point, but I'm not sure enough Americans are ready or aware, or desperate enough, yet, that civil disobedience is a thing. I hope they progress to using it very soon.

    Bananas in ICE vehicle tailpipes. Not paying taxes. Jamming ICE 'snitch' phone numbers with spurious reports ... that sort of thing.

  • .. where is the footage of police dragging this ICE agent in cuffs to contempt jail? It means nothing if he is not jailed. Was he? Will he be?

  • He blames his past postings on mental illness. OK, so what assurances does the public have that it does not relapse? Is it not a legitimate issue that, perhaps, a position of office is not the best thing for this particular person to hold?

    I mean, he has a right to run. But that doesn't mean anyone owes him a vote. Transparency here is justifiable in educating people about the candidates. People running for office cannot complain that their life becomes public as a result.

  • Steve Jackson Game's warehouse23.com/basement

    .. used to spend hours there, opening random boxes. Basically SCP, before SCP was a thing. (And it was ripped off to make an SF show, 'Warehouse 13').

  • You're right, the text itself doesn't spell out any exemptions.

    I guess I was just (badly) trying to express my skepticism that our own media and/or society at large would be willing to apply this definition to our own local governments or government-adjacent orgs, even if they met the criteria.

    Which wasn't really the point of this post anyhow I suppose... I'll shut my trap now :)

  • I was implying that by the description there, we should legitimately consider the people making up certain governments terrorist groups.

  • Hmm, so no exemption for those in government. Gotcha.

  • Oh ho ho..... you've pissed off Quebec now. Gods help you now USA. :p

  • And conveniently the US does not recognize the ICC and even has a law requiring them to invade the Hague if a US official or military officer is ever detained for trial there.

    Almost like they've always been afraid of war crimes laws actually applying to them...

  • Of course. Can't have anyone threatening the billionaire class, need to really send a message: there's 'murder' (acceptable losses of the plebs, via denied health claims) and then there's REAL MURDER -- you know, people that MATTER. /s

  • Madagascar's always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P

  • If you go to New Zealand, you'll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they'll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they've been making for a decade or so there.

    It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever's left).

  • Hah, LOL no. Sadly, I have no illusions there will be any accountability in this regime.

  • Just be sure to check support before buying any newish laptop. I really like my ASUS Duo Pro 2024, but ASUS adamantly refuses to lift a finger for proper Linux support for special features. Even the audio chipset which is standard somehow doesn't work with default kernels due to something they've done. Dual screen can be made to work with some scripting-fu, but the keyboard's multimedia keys just don't work at all.

    Vote with your wallets and be noisy to those brands who don't support Linux well. Let them know if lack of Linux support was why you didn't buy.

  • Perhaps his admiration of despots like Putin, and his seemingly desperate desire to become like them, to be considered an equal by them, is the thing that drives him. It could be that he just truly, truly wants to be like Putin, so does anything he can to impress or aid him.

    If that's true, then there's really nothing anyone can do. (Well, nothing I can mention, that we all know full well, without being on some lists).

  • Never mind the reasons -- this is patently illegal and violates security clearances. Yet another reason, as if more were needed, to oust him and then prosecute him.

  • The Americans do not even let their existing citizens vote when demographics are unsuitable to Republican successes, such as in Puerto Rico or Washington DC

    This, 1000%. Anyone who thinks they would let a new "51st" state, especially one with so many 'left-leaning' (compared to US metrics on political views) people living there, have full statehood, is hopelessly naive.

    We'd end up being some second-class territory without full voting rights, a true vassal state, enslaved and disenfranchised.
