I'm about to walk to the park, it is totally free and open all year.
People don't travel for the weekend in order to look at their screens, so the alternative to looking at a screen might be on the same time scale as a TV show or movie. It might even be available without leaving their private property for most people!
You typed all those words because you can't understand a tiny little phrase like, "Many green spaces cost nothing to visit."
Universal Studios Orlando isn't a green space. We're talking about parks here. Check a map, you probably have one within walking distance. You'll probably drive anyways.
I agree with Timothy Leary on this one: if you control the pixels that are on your screen, then it is very different! Then it is you creating your own reality. Which is good. And as he said in the 80s, it is more effective to control pixels to create your reality than to take psychedelics! They used drugs in the 60s to create their reality because they didn't have personal computers.
If you don't run ad blockers, then it is the same. If you allow a social media "feed" that is controlled by a company to select your pixel values, then it is perhaps even more insidious than TV.
Don't be a vegetoid octopus slug passively consuming an imposed reality.

1) There is no public evidence suggesting anybody destroyed evidence
2) There is no public knowledge of the details of any immunity agreements or what they actually cover.
It was reported in the media that there were immunity agreements, but it was also reported that they were very narrow and made for show. If you believe a person got an immunity agreement, and it isn't known how broad it was, and then you find out they pleaded the fifth on some matter, then actually have evidence available to you that the immunity didn't even cover what they were being questioned on and you were fed a straw man.
It seems "fucked up" because you aren't able to see the contradictions in your own words.
An important thing about immunity is that it often isn't an "agreement." What happens is that the prosecutor grants immunity unilaterally so that you can't refuse to answer questions. The media doesn't want to try to teach all those details, so they just say it sloppy without differentiating between agreements and grants. The prosecutor understands that the media isn't going to teach the details, so in a case with public interest and political import it is pretty standard for them to grant immunity just to make it look like something is there. If the prosecutor wasn't trying to make somebody look bad, there would be no grant of immunity before they even determine if a crime was committed. When the cart is placed in front of the horse you might at least stop to ask why!
Check if there "is" and online store, or if it "is" available on Amazon.
And no, Europe isn't a country.
Also, a sony phone running SailfishOS is not a Jolla phone, it is a Sony phone.
I didn't "miss out" at all, if you actually read what I said I was looking for you'd understand that "limited time only" is not a commodity phone. It is exactly the same as any other proprietary crap-ware. I never said I'm interested in a new proprietary OS based on linux that is running on proprietary hardware. What I want is regular embedded linux, on generic commodity hardware.
With that many absurd factual mistakes, I'm not going to read past your claim that I'm not a nerd. Next time, when you google something, remember: if you didn't follow the links, you don't even know what they say. As you admit, you might have just read the titles of documents written by trolls. Or, just didn't look at the dates of the documents.
Says the drooling mouth-breather who doesn't understand capitalization and punctuation.
If you said that he didn't use correct capitalization and punctuation I might agree, but what sort of moron are you that you think it means he doesn't understand them? In my experience such stylistic transgressions are usually the result of intransigence, rather than ignorance. You should consider replacing your false-pedanticism with antidisestablishmentarianism.
They broke the story about Jessie Jackson's love child. They ended John Edwards' political career by breaking the story of his affair with a campaign staffer. They broke the story about Tiger Woods' affairs, too. They were also the first to report on the divorces of both Mel Gibson and Billy Joel.
If they published a document purporting to be Trump's tax return, I wouldn't trust them. If they reported on what was said at a political meeting, I wouldn't believe them. But if they reported that Trump had a love child with Bad Boy's accountant, I'd believe it.
(as is obvious to anyone with a brain, who has looked in vain for actual verifiable evidence for any of that)
Some people say that verifiable evidence is something you would expect to find public record of after the investigation has been completed, rather than at the beginning before a prosecutor has even looked at any of it. But I guess those were all just mindless zombies, right?
They have no chance of taking Damascus and deposing Assad. But they have a good chance of holding onto territory and negotiating for autonomy.
Or simply holding power until Assad is out of power for other reasons, at which point they might reasonably have a chance at a reconciliation agreement. Or holding out long enough for some sort of international resolution involving disarming and being protected by peacekeepers. There are lots of potential ways out, but none of them involve surrendering to a war criminal who would execute them.
Russia needs to be seen helping Assad, because Assad's family helped the Soviets in the past. Helping him is a recruiting tool for dictators. But he doesn't have to actually win, he just has to be seen staying in power for years after he would have been killed otherwise. Any peace deal brokered by the US or others would include provisions for Russia to keep their bases, because everybody knows they're willing to fight over it and they really do need that naval base. Which means they need the airport to protect the naval base. Russia has no need or interest in "leverage" with Assad. They have longterm agreements guaranteeing everything they want from him.
I don't doubt you somehow received one, or maybe you live in a small country where it is sold. It is not a thing that is available to the public for purchase, however.
Which is a rather important detail if you "always" are trying to advertise for them.
Sorry, while you were busy throwing up you must have clicked on the wrong reply link. You didn't ask for advice, you only made a stupid comment about slashdot dying. Which was an old, tired thing to say before you ever signed up.
More and more I just want a mobile linux device that isn't android and isn't easy/consumerified and just has mobile data and I can use SIP or other IP-phone.
What I don't need is for my mobile device to update more often! What I need is for it to want updates less often.
I don't want new features unless there is hardware that is finally small enough to be mobile. And when it happens, I want it to use one of the existing computer interface paradigms.
If we could just get the users to do that themselves when infected, this problem would eventually go away.
People need to learn to create data backups; not system backups. You don't need to back up your OS+cracks, you just need to back up your actual data and have a way to track service dependencies so that you can install a fresh system, and then connect your data to your services.
There are lots of websites using RubyOnRails and similar technologies that have modern deployment systems that makes that easy. It is sad that so many non-web, traditional applications have fallen behind the webby ones.
It is very confusing for some people, because it says both Democratic and also Republic. So they don't know which team it is. Is that Us, or Them?!
Worse, they even have a red, white, and blue flag! So does Russia. And France. And the Netherlands. So confusing.
Why can't the Reds just be Red, and the Nazis can be the commies too since they're socialists, and then nobody has to learn whose side the Russians were on in that war! Go Team! Whoever my team was. If I'm not sure I'll check cable newsvertainment.

Sounds like bullshit clickbait, I'll pass.
And for the record, an amusement park is full of screens.

You're wrong on two points:
1) There is no public evidence suggesting anybody destroyed evidence
2) There is no public knowledge of the details of any immunity agreements or what they actually cover.

You've got some santorum on your chin.

Mob rule was definitely on their minds. You stumbled quite a bit closer to the truth than you may have intended.
Your straw man is the most awesome, huge, unassailable strawman ever.
Very impressive.
Once the Courts are informed of how huge your strawman is, surely they'll correct their mistake.

That's called aggressive negotiation.
Certainly the Kurds would consider it diplomatic.

No, people don't actually try vaporware, they just refer to it on the internet as if it is a thing.

Slashdot has finally finalized its registration system for monkeys? Great! That'll dramatically improve the average quality of comments.

That said, you're not doing much for comment quality when you can't even tell neolithic philosophy from monkey talk.
