In a Russian prison, he acts as a symbol for the opposition. And if Putin should fall, the opposition can free him and have a credible leader who’s shown that he puts his ideals over his own safety.
In the west, he’d be completely without influence on anything or anyone inside Russia, now and in the future.
Basically he gambled that Putin will die before him.
I can imagine you going *"Why didn’t they just hit [Esc] to bypass the password prompt, open a DOS prompt and delete the password files in C:\Windows.pwl?"
(Yes, that was actually a thing you could do on early 90’s Windows 3.0)
The lost meme in question was like this: A post on r/notinteresting saying “I don’t know anything about programming, ask me anything.” A comment asked “How to kill the child process?” Then replied to himself: Who reported me 💀
The short answer is: Yes, they can still monetize what you posted, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
(And no, the GDPR doesn’t apply, they can just strip away the associated username and IP address)
If you don’t notice an issue, there is no reason to replace the battery.
But if Google now puts a fat “your battery needs to be replaced” notification, those users who didn’t even notice an issue are driven to buy a new phone out of fear their phone will explode.
uber geeks with 20 years of Linux need not apply…thx!
Well, I would have suggested trying out Linux Mint as a live system to see if it runs on your hardware and fits your needs before installation. Test out wifi, bluetooth, video streaming and printing especially.
Also checking out whether your games are supported on www.protondb.com
But I guess my advice isn’t welcome since I’ve used Linux for too long.
When joining an experienced group in a setting I don’t know yet, I like to play a newbie character.
I don’t play dumb of course, but playing an outsider reduces the discrepancy between player knowledge and character knowledge. I can stay in character while doing stuff that makes the other players shake their heads and groan. And as I learn the setting, so does my character learn how the world works.
I just feel like playing a character that’s fully immersed in the long history of intrigue between 2 rival houses is really annoying when you as the player don’t even know the names of the lords ruling them at present.
And I’m not talking about playing a time traveler or a self-insert. I’m thinking of a wizard fresh out of the academy who’s been buried in books for all their life and is now facing the real world. Or a cleric from a strict sect whose black-and-white morals clash with the realities of the murder-hobo life. Admittedly, not the most innovative concepts, but as a new player, you have limited options of what you can portray believingly.
Shadowrun does this right.
The hacker sees a virtual representation of what the group faces, can interact with it in real time, and is in actual mortal danger along with everyone else, even while sitting at home.
The Lebanese militia Hezbollah fired a volley of rockets toward a small military base in northern Israel on Saturday morning, in what the group said was an initial response to the assassination of a senior Hamas commander in Lebanon five days ago that has raised fears of a wider conflagration....
I fail to see how (again, I’m talking about people new to computers, not people already used to Windows).
You have office, a browser, a mail program, music player, etc. preinstalled, automatic updates, and an app store (usually named “software”) with a search function and a friendly “install” button to look for more software.
Printers are installed automatically when you’re in the same network or connect them via USB.
If you plug in your phone or an USB stick, it shows up in the file manager.
Only if you compare computers that come preinstalled with Windows, operated by users that are already familiar with Windows.
A non-technical user is completely out of their element trying to install Windows, and a computer that comes preinstalled with Linux is easier to use than a Windows PC (no driver installation necessary, no hunting for software on the internet among spam links and ads, preinstalled software for most every-day tasks).
