broface,

I can say, with absolute certainty, that is not the norm.

For every sale they make, there are countless others they don’t. And they still have to put in the time.

I’ve gone through many realtors looking for a house, all of them gave me hours of their time and didn’t see a penny in return.

That said, I don’t think realtors are necessary and we should push the idea that people shouldn’t use them unless they think they need to.

broface,

Glad Nvidia has seen the writing on the walls and isn’t treating desktop Linux like a second-class citizen.

broface,

What the fuck is with these comments.

What comments? Are you trying to manufacture outrage again?

broface,

A lot of it is an instinctual response.

Hearing ‘jews this, jews that’ since birth causes people to want to ‘fit in’ and go along with what everyone else is doing even if they don’t understand it.

I was surprised by how much anti-Semitism existed when I went to high school, because I never experienced it before outside of South Park. For everyone else, it was just normal and understood (even if they didn’t support it.) It really cemented the idea in my mind that most people do things without thinking just to fit in with others.

broface,

Eh. If this surprises anyone then you must be new to the world.

broface,

If people weren’t anti-Zionists before, they are now.

Great job, censors!

“The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments, including the US government, which fund and staunchly support Israeli aggression, apartheid and settler-colonization,” the statement from the Columbia student groups said.

without condoning the Hamas Terror

This is a fine example to point out bias and willful ignorance. A bad actor can always say ‘blaming Israel’ is ‘condoning Hamas Terror.’

Essentially, any criticism of Israel is equal to support of Hamas in these people’s eyes. This is why their narrative is falling apart.

Bud Light brewer is still struggling to sell the beer in North America over trans promotion backlash (apnews.com)

Anheuser-Busch Inbev said Tuesday that revenue growth in most of its global regions was offset by a drop in North American sales, in a sign of continuing fallout from a promotion with a transgender influencer that cost it sales....

broface,

That’s what I like to see.

broface,

for being a soulless international conglomerate.

I think this rhetoric would hit harder if the alternatives were willing to sacrifice profit to give us a better deal.

broface,

they pissed off everyone else.

Who exactly is everyone else?

Seems like bud light is the meathead beer for jocks at college parties or cookouts.

broface,

Smart business move.

broface,

Good point. I’m not a fan of BL, but I will choose it over almost any craft beer I’ve had.

That shit is just bonkers. No wonder it doesn’t sell volume.

broface,

I think that’s fair.

Eventually, the Rust-alternatives will be battle-hardened too and we can simply choose what suits us best.

It’s a good time for software, honestly.

broface,

What for?

Personally, I’m a huge fan in unifying software under one language.

broface,

I don’t really thing the security ‘guarantees’ of rust matter that much.

I think it’s a better language to work in than C or C++, though. That’s not a reason to change utilities now, but a larger Rust ecosystem is always better in my humble opinion.

broface,

What’s funny is Java solved an issue that is pretty much non-existent in today’s environment: compatibility.

It’s much less like the Wild West these days. People have a clearer picture of what to support, how to support it, and generic tools to abstract platform-specific code.

I like Java. I think they did good things and had a pragmatic approach to the problems they were trying to solve.

But time goes on, and this young discipline progresses fast. It’ll be interesting to see decades from now what languages survive and which ones don’t.

I predict as time goes on, we’ll get fewer big languages (popular, widespread, useful, etc.) and they will stick around for much longer.

Kind of like human language, if you think about it.

broface,

I’d say it’s both.

broface,

Per your article:

A plea by a criminal defendant that they will not contest a charge.

Your original comment:

“Not guilty” doesn’t necessarily mean “innocent”. Often it just means “not confessing”

“Not guilty” means you are contesting the charges. No contest means you’re not confessing and not contesting the charges.

the prosecution has to go through the motions to prove he’s guilty.

This is only true if the defendant contests the charges. “Not confessing” and “contesting” are two different things.

broface, (edited )

someone who doesn’t want to confess can still plead not guilty.

Then they would be contesting the charges. A plea of ‘not guilty’ means you are contesting the charges.

has a completely different function than pleading no contest.

Yes, contesting the charges has a completely different function than not contesting the charges.

You seem to equate a plea of ‘not guilty’ with ‘not confessing.’ This isn’t true. A plea of not guilty means you are contesting the charges.

A plea of ‘no contest’ means you are not contesting the charges, nor are you admitting guilt (confessing.)

Sorry, I’ve explained things as best I can. If you don’t get it now, you never will and I think we should both move on.

broface,

Who the fuck downplays a death with other deaths?

It’s just a bit weird to see this death paraded around the internet to condemn Hamas while Israel is killing thousands more.

Kind of makes it seem like “their lives worth less than this teenager’s.”

Where are the individual articles for each person Israel killed? You know what they say, one death is a tragedy, thousands are a statistic.

broface,

belittle cruelty of terrorism

I’m curious, do you consider the IDF to be terrorists?

broface,

It’s funny, as much as I’d like to support Palestine, doesn’t their culture suck?

Like, don’t they go out of their way to persecute queers?

broface,

Most big companies have feedback channels for customers on their websites.

What company are you talking about in particular?

broface,

This is the cold, sad truth of Linux.

Unfortunately, when a company does not meet your standards, the solution is not to give them your money. Not to lower your standards.

broface,

I’d be happy with the destruction of copyright and patent laws.
