Part of the fun of this (so long as this is limited to talking about twitter.com) is seeing how the hamfisted censorship-based commentary works. What's okay with corporate power today? Who are media corporations trying to placate today? Nobody needs twitter.com or any of these other single-point-of-failure censorship havens (including /.), so if they go away or one's account is eliminated virtually nothing of value is lost. There were other venues for discussion before they arrived, there are others that co-exist with them, and there will be others when they die.

But it's a different matter of far greater importance when Americans face something similar with their government as is the case with RT (Russia Today) right now. See RT's stories on how the US Government has made RT America & Sputnik register as a "foreign agent". This is particularly interesting in light of Twitter's about-face (aka flip-flop) on RT—Twitter went from offering them a highly lucrative ad package to censoring RT (likely at the behest of the US Government) in order to go along with that government's 'Russiagate' narrative (which itself is protracted baseless distraction coupled with a casus belli for war with Russia). It's difficulty to live up to Noam Chomsky described as supporting freedom of speech ("Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're really in favor of free speech, then you're in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you're not in favor of free speech.") particularly when you "believe that everyone should have the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers" like Twitter claims to!

I'm not seeing the Verivied icon on either https://twitter.com/newblackpa... or https://twitter.com/theblkpant...

But I do see one for https://twitter.com/theblackpa... which is Marve's Black Panther. I can see how that can be confusing....

It is quite possible they got removed too, or that they have some logic to who they show the verified status too.(seeing how my twitter is more conservative aligned.) Could you please link to ones you see do have the verified icon?

Windows 10 is flat design. Flat design has substantial productivity costs. There isn't any more to it than that.

Now leave those poor Windows 10 users alone. They have it bad enough already.

CAPTCHA: really

Can you point me to where in the GPLv2 it indicates that the original binaries must be able to be redistributed without restriction?

You mean GPL v3. Don't you?

In any case, you're asking the wrong question. CopperHeadOS is clearly implying that their new licensing applies to the entire source code, not just the binaries. And they're actually happy that this new license has had a chilling effect on their competitors capable of building their own binaries themselves.

Aleksa Sarai: @LordCyphar - 23hr Wouldn't that be an argument that GPLv3 would still work, you just need to not provide binaries that people can hock off for their own products? Bad actors will always exist, so I don't see how GPLv3 is less helpful than CC-BY-NC-SA in this area?

CopperHeadOS: @CopperHeadOS - 23h There are very few individuals and companies willing to build illegal businesses on our code. GPLv3 let them do it legally and we were unable to have even close to a sustainable business. CC-BY-NC-SA has substantially improved the situation.

And if you don't believe my interpretation of CopperHeadOS's response, just read the content of their new CC-BY-NC-SA license for yourself and take a look at one of the many locations where they placed it within the source code!

What about JTAG?

Answer: Look at your own /. name for the answer... complete loony

For those that really know what we are talking about here, the actual answer is "No".

What about JTAG?

Absolutely all political views are fungible and will be changed to meet the demands of defending or attacking whoever needs to be defended or attacked in a given moment. This isn't partisan, it's universal. A lifelong commie Berniebro-type may suddenly find themselves defending massive corporations if it means opening up an angle to attack Trump, or on the other hand he may start voting Trump and exploring white identitarianism after one too many idiots call him a nazi white supremacist for drinking milk or posting decade-old frog memes. On the other side, a conservative may flip his position on Obamacare provisions depending on whether Obama's name is attached, and a limited-government type may openly endorse a stealth coup by unelected bureaucrats just because he doesn't like who was elected.

Politics is about tribalism, not issues. Hating or liking someone is more important than agreeing or disagreeing with them. Once you realize this, all political discourse becomes infinitely more understandable and less enraging (or, at least, enraging in different ways). Apparent doublethink or hypocrisy aren't logical flaws that can be used to defeat arguments, they're merely irrelevant side effects of the basic rules of the game.

Are you actually under the insane impression that Gamergate is remotely innocent? Because if so, you should really try what I'm smoking.

The FBI couldn't find any proof, so you tell me. The only proof they found was of 3rd party trolls, that was it. If you think gamergate is responsible for 'harassment' or 'doxing' or whatever bullshit some socjus is pushing, you should really dig into it more. It's kinda like how Sarkeesian cancelled a talk at a university in response to a gun threat(how it was presented to people by the media). The truth is that the state is open-carry, and they refused to comply to any of her demands regarding it. This was then followed up by Kotaku who said there was a bomb threat the day(or two after). Which happened 6 months before that. On the other hand? There's plenty of evidence of the big name anti-gamergate people simply being shitty humans. You've got the list of them who have been convicted by courts for rape/sexual assault, then the others who've been accused. Then the others who called in bomb threats to synagogues. Then there's the others that engaged in doxing and harassment, but that's a whole 'nother topic. I'm sure you might bring up "seattle4truth" but never mind that he'd been banned from every chan board, reddit sub, and ignored by anyone relating to GG roughly 3 months in. Went slowly insane, went anti-gg, and then went full conspiracy retard. But then I can always bring up the anti-gg die-hard feminist who blew his girlfriends head off. So you enjoy that shitshow.

Or you can go visit one of the anti-gg boards on reddit, and enjoy the shitshow of identity politics, active doxing, threats and harassment.

Then, we can get into garbage like this. Where the media is outright lying to you, and blaming gamergate when it didn't even exist yet. Are you paying attention to the bullshit being painted now? It's just like the garbage yesterday with "Trump and a koi pond and the 'international incident'" Never mind that Trump dumped the food in after Abe(who dumped ~1/3 of a box). Go on, watch those videos. It'll only take you 15 minutes, enjoy the lies, enjoy the bullshit while you're at it.

It could be an outbound issue, like a DNS server. That would also explain why the outage covers multiple regions.

It was only certain sites. Sites that had their own CDN's like Facebook and Steam were fine. It may have been a Level 3 issue. There were two interesting things reported via twitter:

Comcast indicating "external network issue": https://twitter.com/comcastcar...
Level 3 indicating "our network experienced a disruption affecting some IP customers due to a configuration error": https://twitter.com/Level3NOC/...

In the current GOP Tax plan, they are seeking to tax Grad students on the Tuition waiver (usually in the range of 25k to 50k). This would wipe out the meager stipends that middle-class and disadvantaged students require to live.

My son a Grad Student has a stipend of 20K at a school where the tuition waiver is worth 50k. He will have to pay taxes as if he were making 70K. He will have to drop out because he can't make it.

https://twitter.com/ClausWilke...

They are attacking the middle-class and education all the while giving the rich a huge tax break by repealing the Estate Tax.

I understand the point perfectly. You want to deflect attention from the Russian scandals and you're under the impression that repeating some third-hand smear about Clinton, who is irrelevant politically and deeply unpopular among Democrats, will somehow do that.

It's pathetic.

First of all, "hypocrisy" is the last defense uttered by the completely guilty. Nobody cares.

Second: the Clintons have under attack, the subject of a blatant smear campaign, now for 25 years. It is no longer possible to believe a single negative statement about them unless they cop up and own up to it themselves. Does it appear in their autobiography? Then it might be true. Did it appear in the New York Times? Sorry, but even the Times has spent most of the last 25 years robotically repeating whatever was said about them.

The situation right now is that if "Bill" or "Hillary" stood right in front of me, and straight up murdered someone, I would automatically assume that the person who did it was actually either an actor in a mask, or a robot.

And you'd laugh at me and say "Hah, stupid luhbruahl leftist cuck, doesn't believe it when he sees it for himself". And then, just after you said that the robot's fucking face would fall off revealing the circuitry underneath. Because that is literally 7,281 times more likely than the Clintons actually doing it.

I don't have a debunking for this particular thing at hand yet because I can't be bothered to Google one, but let's take last week's Uranium bullshit and run it through the filter of a journalist who does her job for once (alas, it's MSNBC, but bear with her, she actually does it.) [Caution: Video]

That's a great one because (1) the right wing media, and some of the left, including the New York Times, promoted it as a massive scandal for several days, and (2) the debunking shows how the entire thing was essentially done by removing pertinent facts known to everyone reporting the story. Which is almost certainly the underlying situation with this thread's "scandal".

Take a look at Damore's twitter account: https://twitter.com/jamesadamo...

I imagine that these tweets will be shows in court as evidence of the intent of his memo.

Hella thing when you express forbidden opinions.

Regardless, I stand by the concept that you can say whatever you like, and people are free to react however they like.

Whatever else the guy is, he is monumentally stupid for expressing a forbidden opinion inside the company. I'd fire him as well, for doing something so damn stupid.

We have to accept that times are what the times are, and that even if the concept of men's and women's minds and thought processes being identical are right up there with Lysenkoism, it is how things are, and there isn't much point in fighting that sort of power. It will rise or fall on it's own merits.

We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up. In order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.

The Cyber Squirrel conspiracy goes well, I see. But I'm on to them.

The White House's @POTUS account is a government contract. President Trump's personal account (@realDonaldTrump) is de facto a government contract to the extent that @POTUS is largely composed of Retweets from @realDonaldTrump. When @realDonaldTrump was briefly deactivated, half the Tweets on @POTUS became unavailable during that time.
