The only alternative is to willingly leave over a hundred communities, some of which I have strong ties to, and never interact with the majority again.
So a country where you have to provide written notice of quitting, with a notice period of potentially months?
Yeah, a lot of companies will let you quit sooner, could even be in that contract for all we know, but you’ve signed a legal document. It’s not as simple as “just quit”.
This is the opposite of good advice. “You could just trust them” on signing a legal contract with extreme differences between the stated terms and the written terms? Would you do the same for a divorce?
Look, I’m normally not one to defend M$ but this just isn’t the case. One dude who was on stage for something else, who yes worked for M$ but isn’t PR or anything, made that statement as an offhand comment. The press ran with it, as they are wont to do.
Bottom line is, M$ never claimed W10 was their last os. It was “just some guy”.
I’ve been using Backblaze buckets to hold data I serve to friends with GameVault, and a few other things. Sitting at just shy of 1TB if memory serves? I’m paying about 4 bucks a month.
If you serve it through cloudflare, you aren’t charged for bandwidth. Which works out nicely because I use a cloudflare worker to redirect all download requests in GameVault. Super speedy downloads for my users, zero bandwidth coming off my home network.
Pretty sure the point is that congress wouldn’t approve the war. Even those in congress that would likely support this would likely back down, as they usually do when forced to put their name behind actions like this.
An Atlantic journalist dubbed a "top-notch hater" by Rep. Jasmine Crockett's team and thrown out at Crockett's rally in Lubbock, Texas, on Friday, released audio from the moment she was told to leave the lawmaker's campaign event.
Elaine Godfrey, a staff writer covering national politics for the outlet, was wearing her press badge identifying who she was and had "attempted to join a closed-door press scrum with the congresswoman that was open to the other reporters at the rally," but was turned away. Instead, she decided to start interviewing people in the crowd when a security guard walked up to her and told her she needed to leave, escorting her away.
In the unedited transcript Godfrey reveals what happened during the incident.
Woman: Can you get your stuff? (Speaking to someone else.) Her team wants her to leave, and they’re asking her to leave.
Godfrey: Why are you asking me to leave?
Woman: They just said, ‘Elaine from Atlantic, white girl with a hat and notepad. She’s interviewing people in the crowd. She’s a top-notch hater and will spin. She needs to leave.’ (Speaking to someone else.) I just told her to get her bag and go unintelligible] that’s from her team.
Godfrey, who needed to get an Uber from the location, was then told by a security guard to go wait outside the event, along the side of a country road.
She got an Uber and then followed up with Crockett directly on Friday.
"After getting picked up by the Uber, I went straight to Lubbock’s famous Prairie Dog Town, where I received a warmer welcome," Godfrey wrote. "I called Crockett directly today to ask about all of this. When she answered, and I told her who was calling, she said, 'Oh!,' sounding surprised, and hung up. She did not respond to my follow-up texts."
Crockett's team has said there is no evidence that a journalist was booted from the rally.
Godfrey told CNN that plenty of people also witnessed what happened — and that she has the receipts to show for it, including the recording.
You can’t make someone a pedophile any more than you can make someone prefer blondes or grannies. It’s an attraction that can’t be helped or influenced. You don’t just become a pedophile.
“Fake child porn” isn’t even a thing. Child porn is illegal, mainly, because it is inherently abuse. Which is why it has been “rebranded” to child sexual abuse material or “CSAM”. Adults that look young is in no way child porn, and to brand it as such is to stigmatize people for how they look.
The only alternative is to willingly leave over a hundred communities, some of which I have strong ties to, and never interact with the majority again.
That’s a big ask.
