I voted party for socialism and liberation and you can too!
They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.
Psl is eligible for enough electoral votes to win in a landslide!
If genocide is your red line then they’ve crossed it. How will you respond?
Slow walking compliance is normal. It keeps assets liquid and processes & people in place as long as possible before making changes. It also prevents the cost of changing back and forth if a new rule is struck down before its final date.
What will happen often is that a compliant procedure will be developed as soon as possible, but no changes will be made until absolutely necessary. That gives the organization maximum time to figure out other routes of compliance, fight the rule and continue at pace before they change.
That’s not a civil war though, that’s stoichastic terrorism at least and militia violence at most. I, uh, was just in a disaster in the us where militias were said to have been run off by the national guard and local law enforcement.
It’s still scary, but it’s not civil war.
To give you an idea of how common what you’re describing used to be, when 9/11 happened people who hadn’t already gotten the word from the federal government were blaming it on domestic terrorist organizations and individuals. We had just come off of a decade of federal law enforcement torching Waco, sniping ruby ridge, package bombs, federal building bombs (including wtc!) and school shootings there at the end.
The harmless nut job was such a common idea that the Feds had to really struggle against it when they bungled Waco and ruby ridge.
There’s been thirty years of domestic counter terror training to deal with just this type of situation. Fifty if you count the bender mienhoff group in Europe as the start.
You may see Waco 2.0 but you won’t see a civil war.
No and you should not listen to people who think it could.
A civil war is large scale armed conflict between groups vying for the levers of power. In the case of the American civil war it was over slavery and came to war because there was no mechanism to integrate the south’s elites into the power structures of the north’s or vice versa and the material bases of those two groups power structures were in opposition.
What two groups would fight an American civil war nowadays? Democrats and republicans? They serve the same masters. We are witnessing propaganda bent to the ends of integrating members of one group into another.
Separatist militias? Not only would that not be a civil war, we saw how the fbi handled them in the 90s.
Corporations? Why would they do that? Government already does the unprofitable things they want and does them how they want them.
Separatist states? It’s against the economic interests of the very people who would make up the elite class of the new nation of Texas to submit their borders to taxes and tariffs.
Workers? That’s a revolution, not a civil war.
If someone wants you to fear modern civil war they’re trying to control you.
If someone makes art about a modern civil war they’re trying to tell you about something else on the sly, like with zombies.
Good.
If it’s not turned off then xscreensaver kicks in and draws something.
I want to make the subtext text actually. When you speak with people on the internet in information security focused places you are most likely talking directly to cops and soldiers a good amount of the time and certainly in the presence of them.
I don’t feel one way or the other. Plenty of people instrumental to the company come from the natsec space though.
That’s not in and of itself damning though. Infosec people are often cops or soldiers of one kind or another because that’s where the jobs are.
Plenty of people are talking about how they did get sued and it’s working itself out.
If you believe that crowdstrike is a normal company doing security then the fact that most of their customers stuck with them after the event shows they’re doing something right.
If you believe crowdstrike is a natsec cutout then it won’t matter if they get sued.
Now do the cables 😈
I can understand that perspective.
Things might be slightly different in the eurozone, but it’s almost impossible to have an incompatibility problem in the us. Macs are extremely popular in higher education and a lot of the software that is used in the academy differs from the stuff used in industry specifically because cross platform is a priority in education.
I have some macs and some apple phones and tablets and some android phones and tablets and a bunch of linux machines and some virtualized windows environments. They’re all just tools.
Getting acquainted with macos will cause you to develop a whole new set of psychoses unrelated to “I’m a Mac/im a pc”. Think “I hate systemd/wayland” for Linux or “I hate settings app/centered start button” for windows.
If you can get past the initial hump of learning it, as a university student you’ll probably never be in a better place to use a mac.
If nothing else, you’re unlikely to lose money if you hate it because they retain value like crazy.
Usually I would be one of the indistinguishable voices saying thinkpad or dell.
But:
You might actually be able to get an m1 macbook air at that price and have better experience.
It would be faster than anything in the price range and I don’t think you listed any software that is a problem for macos.
Problems:
they all have ssds and all ssds fuck up over time. You gotta read each block into memory and rewrite it to solve the problem. There’s a piece of software called spinrite that will do this on x86 but the m series aren’t x86. The solution is to boot asahi or some such Linux and use either badblocks or dd (lol!) to do the same thing. Often rather than fix the ssd people will just replace it, but the m1 macbooks have their storage soldered in. This problem is why I suggested the m1 series because you can get them insanely cheap when they inexplicably get slow and the owner can’t figure it out.
They all have ssds and ssds fuck up over time. For your large storage workloads you will want to use an external drive and have backups. This is true for all laptops with ssds. This is true for all computers.
You can’t upgrade the ram. Is this a problem? You decide. Buy with the amount of ram you believe you will need. 8gb should be fine for cad and other similar workloads (source: I used a mac with 8gb for kicad last year and it didn’t have any problems. Used one with 4gb for the same but mfs aren’t ready to have that conversation). If you’re worried about the future, pick one with 16.
Apple fucked up and made a really good computer. You can call this a problem because it’s not clear if they’re gonna go the 2012 12” mbp route and support that thing for a decade or the 2011 15” route and drop it after the minimum support window. You could also say it doesn’t matter because they’re still being sold new in Walmart even though they’re technically discontinued earlier this year and that would make the minimum support window at least the time period you’re looking to have it for. It truly doesn’t matter because no software balks at last years (or often several years old) macos and they’re gonna be on the hook for security updates for a while now.
Made in good ol’ Winston Salem.
Unfortunately a hot sauce factory smells like last nights pepper sprayed clothes so there’s still no reason to go to Winston.
For real: Texas Pete
Unfortunately no.
I remember the selinux controversy and the nsa trying to slip bad algorithms in.
