For the record I wasn’t disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

🙂

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

He’s a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.

Been there, had that conversation.

I wanted to try to say something like your second paragraph, but couldn’t quite put it together. 100% agree.

Yeah but - for any forces out there trying to build some trust in the community - this seems like how you do it, to me. I mean sincerely, nice job Dallas cops. They even warned people - look we’re still going to have to arrest you if we know you have a warrant - so those folks know not to assume it’s some kind of total amnesty event.

only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

This isn’t one of those lame “now they are the machine” posts is it?

Yes, but how many fingers did they have?

Hint: the reason it’s this way is that the elite control the media. If you’re fighting with your financial equals on the other side, then both sides aren’t getting together to fight the rich.

The focus of this cartoon is, I believe, an Austrailian(?) politician. I think it works though as “generic oligarch” or “Republicans.”

Don’t forget folks:

I can tell you that what I said is accurate with certainty.

It wasn’t my intent to argue with your experience, it just wasn’t the impression I came away with.

streamers were harassed, assaulted, doxed, stalked, and shut out from protests because they were creating evidence that was used to prosecute protesters doing crime.

Yeah I saw some streamers get in to trouble with some specific groups of protestors for that reason, but didn’t see it very often on the streams I was watching. I also listened to some interviews with Portland protestors on the Uprising podcast who felt that was a bit excessive, so didn’t think it was particularly widespread.

😁

For example there is a protest right now in Los Angeles. News coverage exits, but no independent livestreamers.

Seems a reasonable line in the sand to me.

Right now it seems he’s getting anything he wants. (gestures at OP) I hope there’s an end to that, but until then, yeah, I must angrily conclude, dude gets shit done. (Using the most reprehensible methods, and with shitty outcomes, but that’s what his base voted for, so I’m quite sure they have few complaints right now.)

actually are criminals

Where was this disdain for criminals at voting time?

Once again the orange toddler throws a tantrum and gets his way.

His cult is right about one thing - he gets shit done. It’s horrible shit, but he gets it done.

And the last gasp of our conservatives as the final pillar of the whitehouse collapses into a flaming wreck due to Trumps ridiculous toddler-like mismanagement of everything will be to blame it all on the Democrats.

rip you guys are gonna get couped

Seems to me we got couped. It was just mostly domestically bloodless. So far.

Only if there’s anyone left in government who will enforce the law. We couldn’t get that done with a democrat pres and a democrat DOJ, we’re not getting it done now that the maganazis control everything.

Unless those Democrats still in washington have levers they can pull that none of us know about, or some Republicans grow a conscience (insert laughing hispanic guy meme here) I have legitimate fear about what the next four years will bring.

For the first time in my life I’m typing something critical of our government and elected officials and wondering if someone is going to bash my door down for it a year from now.
