Bro thinks a 10-18 lbs rifle is too difficult to point around, want us to buy a magnum. Good riddance, NRA shill.

Yeah that sidearm totally necessary for in case the enemy is exactly 25 inches away which is a shorter distance than your 26 inch rifle. /sarcasm

I don't think multiple guns per person are necessary tbh. Increases risk of them falling into the wrong hands and other accidents.

I feel that.

The National Guard, The Pentagon, the majority of Police Departments. They might be more authoritarian than your average US Leftist, but at least they don't want to start all over to establish their Rule of Law. Even Trump's generals looked down on him. If you want to do your part in a potential US Civil War then owning a gun to protect your homestead might help but the best thing you can do is report the right wing extremists as you see them. If you even hear word of any sort of encampment or compound, submit an anonymous tip to the FBI, you can expect a specialized task force to deal with it pretty quickly.

I only worry that FaceBook might actually cover for them and facilitate them. It's not exactly a company known for outcomes of Peace and Respect for Human Rights.

Ha, just when it looks like regulations are coming they hop ship. Fuck em, we don't need em.

That's fair, but in general I don't think windows is much of a long term option. The main reason IoT has more vulnerabilities is that it has more endpoints, so if you properly secure everything with credential you should in theory have no problems, but it's statistically much much more vulnerable.

You gotta think that with all of the world's resource procurement, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, sales, financing, and metrics for every employee and wages, and every outcome compared to every projection, the use of computers is so much bigger than a couple of rich countries with a limited demographic playing video games. If anything, 8% is kind of impressive.

If anybody is planning to dig their own mass grave then I recommend Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise. Notice it comes in two flavors: vanilla or IoT, I don't think IoT should be used unless you actually need it because it can be less secure.

That aside, Linux is cool. Maybe try out some of the new distros before committing to yar-har-dery.

TBH part of the problem is that Microsoft's revenue is only 12% from Windows, and I imagine its profit is lower because it involves a lot of maintaining like antivirus and hardware compatibility than some of their other products.

Basically, they can afford to fuck around with Windows OS and still expect to beat quarterly projections (which they did, again.)

We need to get an uplifting news community on Lemmy, it's nothing but gritty depressing headlines here.
