It's just a simple web form. It'd be child's play to astro turf it to kingdom come with anti Net Neutrality comments. Wasn't somebody already caught doing just that?
but the mega corps. I remember reading of a small town implementing municipal wifi and how lawyers were parachuted in to wreck it. Far as I know that town never did get reliable Internet. Point is, you can't allow municipal broadband to exist anywhere because once the cat's out of the bag on how cheap and effective it is everyone will want it and AT&T, Cox, Comcast and the whole she-bang will be out of cush job.
It's also on a high quality board from MSI with good quality RAM. AMD's a lot less tolerant of cheap boards/ram than Intel. You'll regret that $40 dollar AMD mobo. It's the reason I never bothered with an 8350. It wasn't any cheaper than the faster i5 by the time I factored in the cost of the mobo.
Intel has been without a viable competitor for some time now (especially on low power CPUs). But they've been careful to keep it that way by giving OEMs sweetheart deals.
folks not accepting responsibility for negative outcomes is hardly new. OTOH 'pivot' doesn't always mean that. It also means "X didn't work out so let's go do Y". Apple 'pivoted' from a general PC manufacturer to a boutique electronics company and it worked out pretty well for them. Meanwhile Blockbuster dug their heels in and we can see how well that turned out.
some folks are just visual learners. You can pack a lot more information in a video if you try. But you're correct. If it's the same information you'd have gotten from reading it's frustrating (unless it's something along the lines of a podcast, I can't read when I'm driving, for example).
until Reagan pulled the funding for the follow up programs to give those people jobs. Move a bunch of people to the city, stuff 'em in a building and give them no work and no future and outsource their jobs and everything goes to hell. Who knew?
but I run desktops & buy my own hardware and use PostScript compat. printers so I'm kind of cheating. My kids Toshiba laptop was a nightmare of crap bloatware software.
Because real wages are in the toilet and folks are too busy paying student loans and rent to eat out. Data's not going to fix that. Unions and left wing politics in education funding and housing development might.
any day now. Yup. Any day now. Right after we call out Saudi Arabia for it's civil rights abuses and treatment of women. In other news, the new iPhone 8 looks pretty sweet.
I'm a bit concerned about tasers. On the plus side I'm, well, let's just say I'm of a certain ancestry that seldom has to worry about tasers. But I'm guessing if you ran that much electricity through me I wouldn't be getting back up again.
they can't coexist because the Right wing want radical, sweeping changes to our social and economic order. You can't be Conservative and support that. As soon as you do you're no longer Conservative. Like an Anarchist trying to be Authoritarian. The two are fundamentally opposed.
They Right realized that a substantial number of people are Conservative out of fear of losing what they had. So they synced their rhetoric with those peoples wishes to hide their true intentions.
US "Conservatives" aren't. They're Radical Regressives. Trying to regress society back to some imaginary 'good 'ole times'. They're borrowing the Rhetoric of true Conservatives in exactly the same way Stalin borrowed the rhetoric of Progressives; to mask ill intent.
Ignore what they say, pay attention to what they _do_.

I'm mostly a "PC Console Gamer" to be fair. My bro's a strategy gamer and there's something of a renaissance going on if you've got the cash (the games are usually about $60-$100 if you buy the expansions, and you will buy the expansions). But I can't speak to those.
and couldn't be more far right if they tried. What they do is use left wing Rhetoric and far right policies. That's where your confusion is.
It's important to have labels and shorthand to get a message across fast. Working Class people have limited time and attention spans. If you're trying to organize and help them you've got to work in those constraints. The Right can and will to your detriment and mine.
they tried just that in Boston and a few dozen showed up. Meanwhile 2000+ counter protesters showed up. Their rallies tend to be down south where racism is strong enough to bring them out. But they're spreading, and since they get along well with the economic and Christian right they've got a power base to grow and expand off of.
not sure what the hell gave you that idea. I'm a Democratic Socialist. And your comrades are going to get stomped to death by real, live Nazis long before you get around to shooting me. Not that that'll help either of us. They'll do the same to me. Meanwhile those same Nazi's will be laughing their asses off at the beer halls because your silly anarchist dreams were no match for their highly organized groups of brown shirts.
Join or Die friend. You're gonna have a government whether you like it or not. The only question is do you bother to participate.
Conservatives want to keep things as is, unchanged. The Far right has taken over that term to disguise their radical agenda (I know, I hate that word too, but I don't have a better one for a group that want to make radical changes to our civilization).
There's an old line about the greatest trick the devil ever pulled and the Right did just that by branding "Conservative". Most folks are a tad on the Conservative side as soon as they have something to lose. By calling themselves that the Right hide their true nature.
and then look up what their political views are. I think you'll be surprised (and mildly horrified). By 'media' I mean your radio, television and major newspapers. There's plenty of smaller fringes out there.
The media typically goes left on social issues (the ones that don't matter much) and right on economics (where real decisions are made).
There is one exception I can think of oddly enough, the BBC. Them and Al Jazeera are proabably the last bulwark of journalism left in the world. Though to be honest I don't follow the BBC's national coverage. I'd like to think if they'd been more on their toes Brexit wouldn't be happening right now.
This shouldn't be surprising. Antifa groups are anarchists. By definition they're unorganized and loose knit. They reject authority on the face of it. The Right OTOH make authority a central plank of their ideology. Better organization leads to more effective violence. That's why militaries use a chain of command instead of voting.
given that several European governments are tamping down on them. Antifa are mostly anarchists. By definition they're poorly organized. A well organized anarchist isn't an anarchist.
Also, you do know that Islamic Terrorists are right wing, right? They're conservative and authoritarian. As for economics, sure, they'll take control of all the money, but everybody but the anarchists does that. And the anarchists are really just giving that control up to the right wing (nature abhors a power vacuum).
And if you live in the United States it's a fact that there is more right wing terror acts than Left wing. I can't be bothered to google the proof for you right now, but you could find it by highlighting the last sentence and clicking "Search google for..."
You're just noticing the Left more because the Right owns the media and is using it to push it's narrative. They're doing this so they can take more money from the working class for themselves. And that's sorta why I'm on the Left...

It's worked great for dictators for millennia. Sure, every now and then one of 'em gets toppled, but that's surprisingly rare.

It's the exact opposite. A simple google search will show thatright wing violence is 74% more common than left.
