Everyone assumes he means himself, but I think this is more of a veiled threat to her safety.

Just looked at the PCB board and man that guy is such a insufferable, gatekeeping twat.

Entropy reduction. I do a lot of development work and need Visual Studio to work. It’s a complex beast already, and I don’t need to deal with the headache of fighting some activation hack or running the risk that some DLL or feature is gimped and causes weird behavior in an inactivated state.

I finally made the switch to Mint recently. My day to day experience is so much better. I set up a fresh Windows VM so I could keep using a few programs that don’t play well with wine, and even having to purchase a new activation key for it was totally worth it to have it segregated out from my day to day. And I’d guess that not all that many people really need the specialty stuff I do.

Do a little research on what you use daily and/or can’t live without, but I can confirm that it isn’t as complicated as you might think.

To fit all the gamin’

My understanding is that she becomes eligible for the pension on January 3rd, two days before her January 5th resignation. I didn’t fact check that, but that’s my interpretation from the context of the statements.

That’s pretty slick!

I have run it for years, and I wish they weren’t so limiting and heavy-handed in trying to force people into a paid subscription.

I think they meant AWS competitors, not companies that maintain multi-region configurations.

“The gun just did that.”

We really should figure out a way to publicly shame this passive voice bullshit.

Whoops. Sorry. It was still there on my instance.

Ring is owned by Amazon.

Overwatch. 4,600 hours and you’d think I’d be alright by now LOL.

lol that looks like a parody how are people like benny not humiliated posting stuff like this?

I think he’s just lying. He might be dumb on top of it, but I think he’s just seeing what direction the wind is blowing and trying to get ahead of it.

Until Google revokes publishing privileges for side-loading applications. I think we’ll have to go further and get used to making PWAs and regular websites.

I have my tin foil hat on, but I’m wondering if the Sinclair owners are willing to take a loss on their media front in order to have the social influence of the local TV stations. The influence may be more valuable to them than the revenue.

lol no

it’s not really that hard to get one

That’s the rub. It is not convenient at all here to get ID. The joke universally understood here is that the DMV (the place where the vast majority get their ID) is the worst run, least efficient government body, taking hours to days to navigate.

Add to this that getting to and from the DMV is mostly car dependent. If you’re extremely lucky, you live in NYC that has good* public transportation. If you’re regular lucky, you live in a large city with a very unreliable bus system that might come by your stop once an hour. Going to the DMV becomes a day long chore. If you’re not lucky, you live in a rural area where the DMV is miles away from where you live, underfunded, and understaffed. If you don’t have car (elderly? disabled?) or you’re too busy to make it during business hours (can’t take off work? tough shit) you’ll be out of luck.

And none of this is to say that it is easy to acquire the ID once (if) you arrive. You need various forms of paperwork that may or may not be readily available to you. Sometimes you have to get paperwork from other government bodies, which are also cumbersome. Also the backlogs. In my state, the backlog for driver license renewal is months long.

To summarize: nothing is really made for convenience here as it concerns voting. Decades of Republican sabotage has put as many obstacles in place to make voting (and registering to vote) difficult as possible. Even getting ID is cumbersome and relies on being healthy enough and well-off enough to be able to afford the trouble of getting it.
