I'm considering most economic systems prior to...the last few centuries to be essentially slavery. If some random king owns everything....

Not the same as America's slavery of course, nor is it necessarily legally structured slavery as existed in many societies, but nevertheless.

I enjoy the argument because it's a taboo, so nobody has a good argument. Nobody thinks it's a real command. Nobody thinks for a moment Linus even wants that person dead. It's Just Not How We Do Things here in Polite Society. We say "fuck you, c-loving geriatric" but "I can't wait to see you in a grave, old man" is considered different even though the literal words are irrelevant. The speaker likely has no real interest in fucking the other coder, nor seeing them in a grave.

This amusingly puts it in precisely the same category as like, grandma being upset that their gkid won't wear a bra or shave their pits.

You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us...with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we're telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that's fun.

That speaks to the historical purpose of journalism in the United States more than malice. When journalism doesn't do that you get fox. Or the entire uk press.

Onedrive is easy to completely disable with group policy or registry tokens.

Yes if only we had any way to get this information. Sadly you and I are both completely ignorant.

Yep

It's like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

Yep, playing Katy Perry's Roar very loud, I just saw it in another article.

But did you read the exchange this conversation is about? It sounds like you're operating on month-old headlines.

Why? Are you concerned that the date/time widget author is going to kill themselves? Or do you just not like the concept and don't think people should talk about it? Something else?

One of those options is unlikely and the other is just a taboo.

Don't threaten me with a good time

You really don't seem ok.
