Comment Re: Security Compromised, Domain Transfer Successf (Score 4, Insightful) 236

if you've ever worked at a larger company like GoDaddy, it's actually pretty common for corporate to not know where you are located. Covid-19 and WFH arrangements have made things doubly difficult. to be blunt, this wasn't just insensitive, it's a kick in the teeth to employees who have no doubt had a difficult year. it also speaks to poor training from management. whatever idiot in their IT management chain who approved this should be docked $650 and then fired.

That's the wrong question. The right question is this:

What fundamental problem cannot be solved by trivially tweaking or skinning the existing OSes?

If you have an answer for that question, then clearly there's a need for a third OS. If the new OS is just going to be a knock-off of iOS and Android with nothing fundamentally different, then you might as well just use Android and avoid trifurcating the developer community.

as much as i realize that the privacy horse has already left the barn, it'd be the problems of privacy and information mining. Google has gotten to the point of maliciousness. Apple isn't quite there yet but they're close. we need an OS that doesn't mine and share every bit of data.

this all comes back to the "last mile" problem. in Europe, governments have much more power and leverage to open up the last mile infrastructure, increasing competition. in the U.S., the corporations have a chokehold on that last mile, and politicians are either reluctant to bite the donation hand that feeds them or are ideologically against such "socialism". idiotic. the EU has the right of it.

Are you saying that the video is fake?

Just that, you're ducking the question on whether this meets your definition of hate speech or not.

Lets make it easy for you. Skip the video, skip Youtube entirely. A simple question: Is advocating for the death of police officers hate speech?

and you're deflecting by using right wing propaganda to divert from the whole point: nazis are EVIL. you're doing what that jackass James O'Keefe was doing by doctoring videos and lying to the public. GFY.

"better yet, come back at me when you can explain why Heather Heyer had to *die*"

Guess you didn't watch the video, eh? The car hadn't done anything until AFTER Antifa started smashing it, thus attacking the person in the car, and then to top it off, they surrounded the vehicle. That is a clear assault and intent to commit further violent action, to which the guy responded by fleeing through the crowd, in his vehicle which was his only safe avenue of escape. She had to die because her idiot friends couldn't control their violent thug fucking urges.

yeah, that's not what happened. he barreled down an empty street TOWARDS A CROWD, backed up, and then SPED AT THEM AGAIN. he's been charged with MURDER. you're a fool.

Nah, I know what it's like to be punched in the face over racism. Look how Martin Luther King dealt with it:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King

and he was shot to death by a white racist. no fucking more.

come back at me the next time you've had someone call you a "chink" and tell you to "go back home" when you already are.

Everyone has been called hurtful things in their life. It's unfortunate, but part of growing up is rising above it. You and I don't have to listen to hurtful speech, but we can't stop their right to say it to people who want to hear it.

spoken like someone who benefits from systemic racism.

Disagree. It would be like Staples being able to refuse to sell you paper because they don't like what you're writing on the paper. Or Dell refusing to sell you a computer for what you write.

and Staples and Dell would be in their rights to do so. it's called the free market. why do you hate the free market?

Especially if the paper were to be used to print invitations to a gay wedding...

nuh uh, you're not getting away with this one.

turning away customers because they're going to use your product to say vile shit = sure, whatever

turning away customers because of WHO THEY INTRINSICALLY ARE = discrimination

it's pretty damned obvious.

Giving a speech gassing anyone.

Why can't you morons discern between speech and actions?

why can't YOU realize that some speech IS action. yelling fire in a crowded room. calling for the lynching of black people. screaming for a "whites only" country. stop being naive or bluntly obtuse, whatever you're doing.
