We're currently unaware of any fixed coordinate system for space itself. There may be one, we have no basis of reference for it.

Oh, I agree. I'm right there with you.

I was specifically addressing butthurt white males.

I, personally, couldn't give a shit what race/gender anyone is, they're a living human deserving of respect, the kind that isn't demonstrated by the asshole in the subject comic.

The only reason I'm calling out white males, specifically those that feel butthurt by the comic and have no sense of humor, is because the previous poster specifically cited that group. I'm a member of the white/male group, so I wanted to speak bluntly "man to man" style to any future visitors. Oh my, there are so many issues with referring to it that way; I'm just going to leave it and hope it comes across correctly.

In any case, anyone, regardless of their race, or gender or anything else you can classify people using, has different behaviors or thinks differently (better or worse) about others based on gender/race/whatever, then they're an asshole.

I will judge others based on the content of their character. That doesn't make me better than anyone else, I'm only stating my intent. If the content of your character is trash, then I will judge you for the trash you are. If you're trying to do right, despite falling/failing sometimes, then thats worthy of more consideration than the trash humans mentioned earlier.

I couldn't possibly give any fewer fucks what color your skin is, or what you have in your pants. Be whatever you want to be, just don't be an asshole.

As a white male, I'm not going to disagree with you on any of this.

Related to the content: personally I like opinionated, loud mouthed women. I don't classify myself as a "high value" male or anything. I mean, who the fuck is that arrogant? I'm not poor, but I'm certainly not rich. I'm much closer to being poor than I am to being rich.... But that doesn't say much.

In any case, the content is funny. It's an exaggeration of the kind of reaction that people tend to have to dickwads sharing their unsolicited opinions with strangers who don't care what you think.

I love that it is shining a big fat spotlight on the shitty behaviors that self proclaimed "high value men" think is ok. It's not ok. Stop it. Get some help.

It's shameful to share a gender with these degenerates. I am ashamed of my gender because people like the one depicted in the comic, exist. And they're not a trivial amount either. There's a good number of them, and it's fucking embarrassing.

To anyone butthurt about the contents of the comic: first, relax, it's a joke. Second, how about you treat everyone like they're a fucking human being? Instead of putting people into little boxes like "high value" or "male" or "female" or whatever, how about you throw all that bullshit out and just see humans. Regardless of race, gender, preferences, religion, anatomical features, disabilities..... They're all human beings deserving of some measure of respect. And don't give me any shit about "respect is earned"... Fuck you. You need to have a basic level of respect before you can prove yourself as someone deserving of respect; otherwise any action you take will be seen as the feeble flailings of someone nobody cares about to earn some kind of clout.

Everyone should be given a base level of respect until they prove that the respect granted to them for being a human in our society, isn't deserved.

For everyone else who may still be reading and didn't get butthurt by a comic: stay frosty.

I did my part. Now hopefully the rest of you all don't fuck it up.

I must ask why; the prohibition of it doesn't make any sense to me at all. It's all but proven fact that it's not any more harmful than either smoking cigarettes, or drinking alcohol.

Both of which are completely legal to consume all day, every day.

Weed simply doesn't deserve the status it is given, it was placed on schedule 1 as a gigantic middle finger from the ruling class, against the working class. They did it to punish those they saw as their lessers, and so they could have the police rough up anyone because they owned a small amount of the substance. But the cigarettes and alcohol they've enjoyed for decades and many of them have profited from? Those are fine. This new thing (at the time) that they aren't profiting off of? Let's make it illegal, so we can force everyone to use the things we do profit from.

That's basically the backstory here.

Why you, or anyone would oppose lifting that prohibition is confusing at best, racist/classest at worst.

I'm genuinely curious how you have come to have the position you do. If you don't like it, nobody is going to force you to use the stuff, same with alcohol and cigarettes. So why do you care?

Successful in mass media, sure.

From the wording, it looks like they're just going to georestrict their content to places that are not Turkey.

Far from a problem, unless of course, your primary following is from Turkey; or that's where you live.

I don't blame bluesky here, they operate internationally, and they have to obey the laws of the locations they operate in. Personally I'm wondering what kind of Internet posts are restricted in Turkey? Who has laws to say you can, or cannot say things on the Internet? Besides... I guess, China, and obviously illegal things like CP....

Were they posting CP?

IDK, I've never used bluesky. I barely used xitter, back when it was relevant, if I were to use anything as a replacement it would be Mastodon.

Anyways.

A person who hasn't debugged any code thinks programmers are done for because of "AI".

Oh no. Anyways.

Dunno why it's even rated M. Seems high for what it is

.... But why?

I would pivot to W10 LTSC to avoid Windows 11.... So why would I move to the LTSC version of the OS I'm trying to avoid?

Makes zero sense.

While I get why they want to do all online accounts, no. Just no.

Ironically, for business users, online accounts are basically the way the industry is moving. Some integration with Azure active directory (now known as "Entra ID" - a useless rebranding of the exact same product), you can connect systems using someone's email, and it can tightly integrate with your work email account on Microsoft 365, and everything just kind of fits together.

This prevents admins from having to go and do prep/setup on each system and/or maintain a library of system images with all the standard settings for the organization, since connecting with AAD/Entra can also enroll the device into Intune and those policies are just as powerful, if not more powerful than what you can do with images and prep; just now is entirely automatic.

For home users, it's less about the convenience of system management and more data harvesting of their clients. The irony is that a lot of the business versions still have an option to bypass the online account (usually by selecting an option that you will be joining a classic domain).

So business has the option and largely, business is moving away from it, and home users don't, but that's something that a large number of home users want.

The only thought I have on it is that: bitlocker is enabled by default on many newer versions of Windows, by signing in with your M$ account to the PC, those bitlocker keys are backed up. If you don't use an online account, it's up to you to back then up, and users either don't do that, or do it in such a way that it's ineffective, like saving the recovery key to the very drive that needs that key to unlock it in the event of a problem.

I've seen more than one person fall victim to their own lack of knowledge and understanding when bitlocker is enabled, and Windows update screws their boot sequence to the point where they need to do a recovery, which requires the recovery key, which they do not have. It basically makes all of their data inaccessible, and gigabytes of data, just from the people I've known affected by this, has already been lost as a result.
