While you’re right that guns wouldn’t be needed at a protest, and I absolutely agree, similar to the government in the UK there has been a lot of crackdowns on pro-Palestine protests that have been labelled as antisemitism. My worry is that this incident will result in further crackdowns on legal protest rights that don’t have anything to do with guns. My concern is also validated by the article, which mentions the NSW government is working on laws to restrict protest rights. That might have been unrelated and prior to this incident, but this is only going to galvanise this effort.

I made a post on Bluesky the day it happened saying they’d almost certainly use this as an excuse to crack down on protest rights. Hate being right about this.

Bother 😒

It’ll be awesome to see the improvements Valve makes to ARM compatibility just like they did for Windows compatibility. Would love to see a handheld (by anyone) that utilises AMDs Sound Wave APU to create the king of low-spec, long battery life, indie-gaming.

I’m not fully up-to-date with bleeding edge display technologies but is there any reason that a passive DP to HDMI adapter couldn’t easily solve this issue? And would it cause Valve any strife to include one in the box?

Something that they have continued in earnest with the Switch 2.

Unfortunately, many large monitors are becoming “smart” now.

HDCP (the DRM HDMI uses) is interface-agnostic though? It works over DisplayPort, heck it even works over DVI. I think that makes your argument about DRM fall apart, though TV OEMs did indeed promote the adoption of HDMI.

You’re already seeing multiple European governments moving to FOSS office suites.

I’d rather pay for search, than to be the product of a search engine. Self-hosting a decent index is much harder than it seems. Kagi aren’t ontologically evil in the same way as Google or Microsoft so I think it’s the best option.

You would think OpenAI wouldn’t want to set the precedent that AI has the rights of a person, considering how they want AGI to be the slave labour to replace all human workers.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as “separating the art from the artist”.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t consider either of these argumentive.

Maybe it’s because you aren’t considerate.

people are permitted to have differing opinions and likes and dislikes.

Oh, so that’s why you chose to argue with someone about their dislike, right bestie?

Did we culturally forget that digital art and photoshopping exist for a minute?

all of my bags have multiple, my wheelchair has some on the handles, i’ve basically hit hairtie saturation honestly

I mean, my issue was you deciding to comment “harry potter is great” in this thread. There’s a difference between separating the art from the artist, and defending it to folks who don’t like it.

I mean, if it’s not malice then it’s ignorance in my opinion.
