Saying Florida is a shit-hole doesn't mean I just hate anyone that comes from Florida. I've vacationed a time or two in that shit-hole.

Not at all. It's not really speculation or opinion or projection. It's not even a secret. They are known quite well at overall being horribly racist. They're even racist against portions of their own country. Let alone foreigners.

Yeah. India is pretty much a piece of shit country. Their government seems really corrupt and they pollute like mad while they still have so much of their busted caste system in place. All while being racist as hell.

This will be the first robot to give up on life and kill itself.

If it does actually happen next year, I look forward to the probably 10% gain or better to Linux. Mint will probably get the lions share.

I did, and aside from youtube, I don't see any mention in the article of "google". Plus while what is listed out as being banned is all well and good, except one of them could have a whole lot of room for interpretation. Who's to say what determines incitement to hatred? All listed platforms are big established entities with bankrolls and all already don't really allow anything listed by the Irish, so really it just seems like an attempt at a money grab for Ireland to issue fines and collect cash whenever they decide.

I think you're wrong. Microsoft won't end support on a system over or around half the world's pc's run on.

They're just pulling a scare tactic right now. Before the security end date of win 10 is up, they'll announce continued support for another 2 years. They're just trying to push 11 and right now they're bluffing.

I mean, there's one typo where it says "it" instead of "is", but other than that it all looks to make sense enough. By all the votes it looks like most people understand it just fine.

If you want to restrict your people more than the rest of the world, cut yourself off from the world wide web.

I agree, but what the Irish are doing is dumb. If reddit it hit with that, then so should Google and the whole of the internet, since everything can get you videos. No one should be in charge of sensoring the internet.

Did you write "thinkering" on purpose? Because it's fantastic.

Stuff got too easy to really have to delve into a deeper understanding, most of the time, now. No jumpers, no dip switches, no pre-loading drivers or plugs that can be plugged into places they shouldn't get plugged into. Everything is color coded and plug n play. You don't have to dive in and assign com ports or anything.

I learned as I went because I wanted to get shit to work and that took a lot of educating to get there. Now, most of the time the situation doesn't come up, so that deeper understanding is a building block that just got skipped over. The offshoot is that when the more rare occasion arises that a deeper understanding is required, it's usually got a person way behind the 8 ball to be able to recognize and fix the issue.
