I don't think it's so black and white.

Legal Eagle did a video about this. Ultimately an American soldier is liable for carrying out illegal orders. Refusing illegal orders is extremely complicated, but carrying them out is still illegal and they are subject to the law. It doesn't matter if they were "just following orders".

like the proud boys

I thought they all signed up for ICE?

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Interesting. I wonder how many of them are the ones deployed to the streets.

Are we talking about "people who do things that ICE is criticized for"? No.

I literally said:

It just occurred to me that I don't think I've seen a photo of a single brown, black, or Asian ICE agent. They're all white, aren't they?

I didn't say "no US agency has non-white individuals".

My comment was specifically referring to ICE agents, and the context was specifically about the ones out and about creating chaos in the streets.

Those aren't ICE agents, they're Border Patrol which is part of CBP. I'm not even American and even I know this.

Without "App" though, that slipped through because someone wrote "the Microsoft 365 Copilot app"

That makes it semi-official. If Microslop put that on their official website for the product, that makes it official to a degree.

They did not fucking rename Microsoft Office.

Well, you're half right, except Microsoft did rename Office years ago to "Microsoft 365".

Edit: ignore the "Microslop" spelling. I have a uBlock filter enabled.

I was in China in 2011, at the height of their "Golden Age". It really is an amazing place culturally. And the natural parts that are maintained are beautiful.

But I don't think I'll ever go back, the political climate is way too sketchy and I don't see it getting better any time soon.

Microsoft 365 Copilot App

That's the official name

My fervent hope is that, someday in the future, people can build a gaming PC and just forego Windows to save $100.

That's what you said. And I'm not even sure what you mean by "I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro."

The reality is that a good portion of gamers either build their own systems or buy "custom built" systems from a company that builds them. It's mainly only OEM manufacturers that include a Windows license, like HP, Lenovo, MSI, and generally laptops.

So ultimately there's no scenario where your comment makes sense.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

So you're telling me that someone who builds a custom PC with the intention of installing Linux will go out and buy a Windows license?

 

I'm sure we all know about the low audience scores given to The Acolyte. Rotten Tomatoes was sitting down at 14% since around the third episode, and was that low up until at least the last episode. Now that it's nearly a week out from the season finale, I figured I'd take another look.

The Rotten Tomatoes score has gone up to 17% and other review platforms have gone up a bit also.

So I decided to read through a few of the recent ones. Here are two examples:

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 2

The showrunners accuse fans of "review bombing" but are apparently just fine with artificial review boosting. I saw a bunch of these double reviews and nearly every single one talked about things like diversity, a "fresh take", production values, etc, all in that typical bland corporate-speech type of language.

Whereas the negative reviews are detailed and specific without ever getting into racism, bigotry, sexism, or other things fans are often accused of. If you read through the negative reviews they are often well thought out criticisms of the story itself and the quality of acting.

I just wanted to bring this fake review boosting to the community's attention. If you enjoyed the show, that's awesome. But it's dishonest to dilute honest and fair criticisms of a show.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

  • Too much heat
  • Too much water
  • Too little water
  • Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
