'$10k spent on facebook ads' - way more than this. Why is it hard to admit that Russia wanted trump?
"common-meaning-generating" - this! thank you
i took it as sarcasm in that todays authoritarian type bosses would see 'chill' as pathological ?
modify your Local Group Policy Microsoft Learn DeviceInstallation Policy.
Open gpedit.msc, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation, and set Prevent automatic download of applications associated with device metadata to Enabled
the instructions to enable "Prevent automatic download of applications associated with device metadata" don't work for me w/ W11, any ideas? thanks
I'm guessing the religious people at your neighborhood churches feel pretty strongly about the value of truth. How do they make that work with support for trump? I'm not trying to do a gotcha, I seriously can't see past the dissonance.
what if it becomes clear that it was only to pay informants?
Mueller correctly stated there was an orchestrated disinformation campaign by Russia. That's different than Russians under voting tables stuffing ballots in their pockets. some like to conflate the two so that they can call it all the 'russia hoax'
"Loss of privilege feels like oppression". I see the numbers showing hiring shifts, but i don't see any numbers backing up the claim that there was once an pure and fair "American meritocracy" that has now been "gutted". and this [1] seems to show that the privilege has not actually been lost

"...so many FBI agents at the Jan 6" citation? thanks
maybe i'm doing a No True Scotsman, but i can't see where the Left has ever been against the poors. I thought the the origin of the terms Left and Right was For Democracy (the poors have a voice), and For the King (the wealthies) from the French Revolution. How is 'wealthies vs poors' different from left vs right'?
I think police may not mind Waze, they may care more about drivers that are truly dangerous and are fine with filtering out hose that are signalling that they are paying attention and showing respect by slowing down when police are present

I was trying to make a purchase from a local vendor that uses SumUp for credit card processing. The vendor told me SumUp wanted verification via a 'Receipt of Goods and Services' pdf form, that I would fill out, and email or text back to the vendor, and the vendor would email or text it back to SumUp. The form required that I enter my complete credit card information, including expiration and...
one word missing "White" - White Christian Nationalists. not sure who would take that as an insult and who refers to themselves as such
this is my confusion also - it sounds like they are conflating "modify and sell" with "modify and consume"
what if the 'too much' amount is the result of a vote?
cobol is trivial to learn. the problem is that the core of old systems were written even before 'Structured Programming' and anything like reviewing and enforcing design standards. there is alot of 60 year old, currently running 'mission critical' cobol, some of it is inscrutable and unmaintainable, while some of it is so simple and elegant that it'd be a great way to teach a 10 year old about programming.
i wish i could upvote this 100 times. like an cop walking into a bar full of criminals. any criminal that has to ask someone what to do won't last long.
plus they can actually be enemies. two guys in a beef about who owns a dog can chain up the dog and fight it out. the dog remains owned
either it works on customers, or it works on business people - by duping them into spending alot of money ever since Edward Bernays. projected to be a trillion a year 2025
maybe it sounds like no protection from predation?
sorry for late comment, but the problem is clearer to me when considering it as resource control, rather than 'wealth'. Earning $60k gives you control of barely nothing. It would take 10's of millions of dollars just to have any effect on a small US city. It's a football field with 9995 people stuffed in an endzone and 5 people controlling the rest of the field.
sometimes a T is included - yintz
is it ok to ask why this is being flagged? I don't know much about cybersecurity, is the article inaccurate or somehow bogus?
and a tool to squash or expand the hierarchy helps alot. jEdit can fold/unfold based on indentation. along with simple prefixes : '-' for info, '>' for todo, '= {date}' for done, etc
because of the rates of physical abuse of men against women vs vice versa?
i just don't want another gas only car, and so will deal with some inconvenience.
