    At least he makes a case for freedom. I just hope it doesn't infer exceptions for criticism of his own political views. There's been plenty of that on youtube. Groups who can't handle criticism abuse the fuck out of the tos.

    Exactly. If china, russia, iran, or some other islamic tyrant states want to control what people see that much, they should just break away and create their own networks. It would be sad, but it's certainly doable. There's no reason to squabble over control of one network.

    I don't want to censor myself according to the views of other countries. After all, they're apparently free to criticize my country and culture. Whiners who want to control public expression should just keep their infantilized balls at home.

  5. Whether it's evangelical christians, muslims, or proponents of 'social justice', when science gets in the way, it's demonized. We're still in the dark ages.

    The left wing doesn't like Uber because it 'disrupts' state services, so naturally they'll complain, and painting their disapproval in the narrative of class oppression is typical of them. It is prav..err I mean the NY Times after all.

    I would go further and say that this is a societal problem. Feelings, consensus, and group loyalty matter more than facts, rationality, and truth.

    Are you saying that women can't impose stigma about men? I would point out all those morning talk shows hosted by women as examples of a casually misandric culture, much of it created by feminism. That dynamic prevails in schools now, and it disadvantages boys by treating them and expecting them to behave like girls.

    Only if you buy into the idea that it's all men's fault and women have no agency, which is a load of crap. Women are just able to impose their own social and psychological dominance on men.

    Well, yes, because each keypress in current versions of ms word triggers several megabytes worth of code to execute, probably inside a CLR (because somehow this makes everything better). 'Progress' is now defined by getting gigaflop spec cpus to mimic the same laggy performance we got from 286s back in the day.

  20. I would never want my bios to be updated through windows. That is a recipe for disaster.

  21. Have you actually run a sniffer to see whether your disabled trackers are truly disabled? Win10 is chatty as hell, even with all the regular user-facing switches turned off.

    I don't think microsoft ever explicitly supported newer processors in deprecated versions of windows. The old versions just keep running because the cpus are backwardly compatible.

    Seems like status quo, unless they decide to start issuing patches that kill old versions of windows on newer hardware. Now that would suck.

    Maybe it's time for less 'compromise' and more action? If these groups are truly the threat indicated by western governments, then the last thing they should be doing is shaming their own populations with 'tolerance' propaganda, especially while attacks and radicalization of western citizens continue. Why do you think Trump is so popular? People are tired of talk and 'compromise' that gets nowhere.

    No, I'm not suggesting 'reeducation'. I'm talking doing whatever is necessary, including war, if that's what it takes. Send the countries harboring them a clear message. If what you say is true, then leaving them alone might solve it as well, but somehow I doubt pulling out would change much. Many of these groups want a worldwide muslim caliphate. They're 'imperialist' as well.

    Maybe it's time to declare war on the countries harboring and funding these organizations instead of making 'peace' deals with them. Targeting our own citizens with 'not all muslims are like that' shaming language propaganda to placate these radical idiots doesn't seem to be doing the job. Are our leaders just spineless or do they think that 'infinite consensus' solves everything? I'm not sure, but it's obvious it is not working.

    We no longer tolerate fundamentalist christians teaching 'creation' in place of science, nor allow them to trample women's reproductive rights. Why should irrational muslim belief be given any more quarter, especially if it is violent and has clear intention to bring down western civilization?

  25. Why would anyone want an apperating system on a desktop?
