Seems nobody has explained this to you, but isolationism doesn't work when it comes to the US, it needs foreign trade and investments
There are levels of isolation. I support fair trade deals. And secure borders where each and every crosser is vetted before being allowed in.
Sorry if you find it offensive that I don’t want other country’s criminals and terrorists coming in. …well, no I’m not.
Have you missed all the gushing words Trump has spilled on behalf of Putin?
Since he left office? Yes. In office I wouldn’t call them glowing, so much as strategically complimentary.
WWII called, they want their Nazi diplomacy back. Also, Mexico want Texas back.
Wrong country, the Nazi regime comes from western/Central Europe from Germany. Not Russia.
Mexico could want Texas all they Wish. But the Residents don’t want to be part of Mexico.
Outside of US and UK news, most reports show a rather even split in contested-areas or prefer Russian repatriation.
Zelenskyy…
You really have hunk he is the whole of the government? You’re naive. What does Tucker Carlson have to do with anything? Again, my support for Russia and disdain for Ukraine are clearly documented, even here in my comment history, far before any current politicians mad opinions on a threat that didn’t (publicly) exist way back in 2015.
You really need to stop gorging on stupid conspiracy theories
The involvement of American financial interests in Ukraine dates back to the mid-to-late 90s.
You keep trying to falsely conflate some Republican’s opinions with my simply following what they say.
Where in reality I chose to vote for someone who would strengthen ties with Russia and reduce our dependence on China. Someone with no major familial ties to Ukrainian money.
You have the events backwards.
What ethnic murders?
The extreme imprisonment and murder of “criminals” of Russian/Rus and Gypsim peoples. For invented crimes.
The “police” in the area acting like the LAPD.
Because a dead person stops talking and can’t contest.
Oh boy, you are in for a surprise when it comes to Trump
Please: enlighten me. As to what financial ties Trump has personally in the Ukraine.
last 48 hours?
Where? And I was supposed to know, listen, or care?
Last night I rewatched 3 episodes of stargate and a few YouTube clips of anti-vaxers getting destroyed in public.
I don’t watch or follow cable TV so I have no way of knowing.
You can support a people without necessarily liking their current leader. Like most head of state, he has his good and his bad. And his bad is worse than his good, here.
But I support the people. The country. If I so choose.
That also predates Trump’s political workings.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Some AI generated works shouldn't be pub
I understand the open software idea your referring to.
But why is it bad that WordStar makes some changes to open office and sells it as WSO. Or Neo Office made some changes and sells it as NeoOffice?
These are, by definition, forks.
They make their non-compiled source available because that’s the rules of the licensing. But I don’t see why they should be required to.
How is the source source code harmed by someone else making changes elsewhere? And not releasing those changes.
I never quite grasped the idea that open office would be hurt if Neo or Star didn’t release the source of their changes.
It’s rather uncommon to find a total service lockout in a location that has multiple service options. Local and state regulations usually all renters some self-paid modification options. Nearly always that includes cable/internet.
Now: if a customer should pay a massive install and connection fee to an already wired location? That’s a separate problem.
The other item of discussion here: private property rights.
I believe you’re approaching this as if renting removes the owner right of control.
That’s a problem for me. What if trump simply bought a cable company. The apartment complex manager doesn’t want to have his name/company associated with that company. So they sign a pre-wire agreement with AntiTrump Cable.
Trump supporter can usually call up Trump cable and pay $99 or whatever to get the service installed and set up. Or they can call the office and tell the landlord to turn on AntiTrump cable for no install/service fee.
Now, we can argue that a property shouldn’t be single-service but many of these agreements include free or discounted installation for the property owner. By agreeing to terms with AntiTrump cable to wire every unit they have their new property wired with coax or fibre for a very discounted price or even for free. In exchange they are the primary pre installed service option.
It’s a good debate on who has greater rights, the owner or the renter.
And I honestly have reservations on throwing into either camp when there is only one possible option.
But as long as the renter can still chose another service, I have no problem with pre-wire agreements.
As I’ve stated my problem is not so much with censoring/moderating/your-term-here politicians; rather that politicians shouldn’t be using social media, another company’s private property, for official communication.
Despite my nostalgia for the good-old-days of open use and moderation by categorisation eg compuserve, it’s not a practical reality today.
Once again we are agreeing.
Personally I have a serious dislike for the consolidation to a touch interface a single controlling computer. — when there is no manual alternative or override!
Let’s take some current gm products, in the higher level packages.
The primary infotainment computer also handles the car’s internal and external sensors. Such as seat weight sensors. This could change how airbags are deployed!
Well it’s hundreds of sales in resale, per day. As I linked to. That would be thousands per month.
There’s a few dozen to a few hundred new releases per year.
As for the derogatory use of gimmick:
When applied to retail marketing, it is a unique or quirky feature designed to make a product or service "stand out" from its competitors.~ Wikipedia
I acknowledge you may me partly correct. Despite the antagonistic choice of wording.
You’ll need to define what I agree with him on.
If it’s Ukraine, my comment history proves my opinion predates any comments by him on it.
As I pointed to Clinton and her standing by silently during the Ukrainian genocides as one of the reasons I’d never vote for her.
It’s not socially accepted in this country but incest is not uncommon. I make no opinion or judgement on someone else’s love, romance, or sexual choices.
It’s their decision as consenting adults.
Yes. On paper. By law. The owner is the apartment landlord/company.
There may be some difference if you’re, apparently, not in the US. But here the owner is different than the renter.
6mo -2yr is most common. But yes, many monthly rental options or 3mo options can be found.
I’m not siding with cable monopolies. I’m siding with property owners. The whole libertarian streak.
This puts limitations on proprietary owners as to choices they can make in utilities.
Keep in mind two other aspects here ignored in this discussion.
Pre wired rental properties tend to include the service as part of the rental price, OR, offer that service at a discounted rate.
Very few flat out block an alternative service choice. In most states, where I’ve been pre wired for one company where there were multiple options… using the other option was no more difficult than calling up the company and paying for an installation.
The only time I was told no, I passed on the location outright. You know, or should have known, your options when you sign the rental contract.
Much like living in an (owned) condo with a condo association or a community with a community association.
The rule and regulations are there up front.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Some AI generated works shouldn't be public doma
Re: PaulT and nasch
No, I fully understand. More than most here would.
As a developer who supports and uses the IDGAF tag for licensing.
It’s not conservative, its liberal socialism. From a standpoint that respects capitalism as a method.
I release free. If you chose to use it, modify it, copy it, sell it… so what.
The key aspect that I have an issue with is the idea that anything that comes from it must also be the same license.
I don’t see how code completely in the public domain can ever be “locked up”. It’s public domain.
In film many companies take public domain films and put them on a dvd and sell the package. Oldies. Something… Retro Flix.
You can buy the disc. The tape. Or go to the Internet Archive and download or stream it for free.
How is software any different?
Same thing with audio. You can buy public domain, songs or radio shows on disc. On tape. On a flash drive. Or download/stream it for free. Old Time Radio is a prime example!
How about books.
The largest collection of religious, spiritual, and myth texts is the Sacred Works archive. 100% free on line for browsing or download/saving. Or buy some or all the documents on USB.
How is public domain going to hurt software by locking it up when it’s literally not happened with other offerings?
And that’s a serious question, not baiting. I simply don’t understand the premise that completely public domain is bad.
very limited runs on a small number of titles is a sales gimmick
As much as small runs of any non-dominate format is.
They sell, which means people want them.
Doesn’t really matter why we like something. You may disagree with why we like something. If it sells, there’s a market.
