No it doesn’t. We have any number of free and open source operating systems to choose from that are already more secure. The number of people in a situation where they absolutely need to run Windows specifically is small.

This is already true for the vast majority of games. 🤷‍♂️

I thought he was a free speech absolutist?

The problem is there isn’t a good joke here. 🤷‍♂️

So … how mad at Putin does this make Russian gamers? Mad at all? Do they care?

Ok. Well, fair enough.

Given that you cannot point me at any text that supports your claims directly, though, I have to conclude that what I said above in my original comments holds and that you do not have a right to stop others from recording you in public.

So I read through a good bit, and I could not find anytjing that actually gives you the protections you claimed your country offers.

Theree apprar to be limita about taking pictures of people in distress, injured or deceased and then sharing that.

There is a bit about taking a picture in a room specifically meant for privacy, which to me is akin to the bathrooms and changing rooms I was mentioning.

But I can’t find the language that gives the carve outs you say are there… I’m sorry, but if I missed it could you quote the relevant section you’re trying to share?

Sorry, but could you cite a specific law? I’m interested to see the differences in the EU vs. what we have here in the states.

I spent a little time trying to do my own legwork and there is stuff under GDPR but that excepts personal recordings. (Akin to the complications in the US where if you publish or profit from a video recorded in public it’s different and more complicated.)

So I am curious about how these protections are carved out and I can’t quite find the law(s) you are discussing without some help.

I’d be interested in hearing more about what law you’re referring to (or you could point me at a.similar example, I don’t need to know where you live). My understanding is that even in two-party consent states you can record in public as long as you aren’t recording conversations and/or the people being recorded have no expectation of privacy (no one should be recording anything in public bathrooms, changing rooms, etc. - you do have an expectation of privacy there even though you are in public, for instance.)

I don’t get that emotional about online stuff, but thanks for your concern.

Stay home. 🤷‍♂️ When you are in public, people can see you. You don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t look at or take a picture of. (Note that I said this was complicated, and this is where the complications start - I should be able to record you in public if I am not specifically monitoring or harassing you, or trying to obtain pictures of things under your clothes, for instance, which IS a violation of your privacy. But just walking around in public recording things? You can’t take my rights away just because you think you should have complete privacy even when out in public.)

In private you are correct. In public it is a lot more complicated.

Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?

No?

WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.

The market found the best solution: renewables.

You are the one here arguing we should be doing nuclear. You are the person here with an agenda.

You don’t have to convince me, if you think it’s such a great power source with such low costs you should pitch some investors.

I would think you would be the one trying to understand why nuclear plants aren’t being built if their costs are lower and benefits are higher. 🤷‍♂️

Show me the line items for long term handling of the waste, please. I am curious how much they allocated.

All of which ignores lots of real world factors that aren’t being included in the costs the commenter outlines.

Again, if nuclear were cheaper, you wouldn’t all be here downvoting my comments, you’d be discussing all the great new nuclear being onlined.

Renewables have won. They’re cheaper and easier to deploy, they’re distributed rather than concentrated, and they have lower impacts on the environment.

FWIW: I thought thorium reactors might have had some legs in the 00s, but it became clear those didn’t make fiscal sense, either.

How long does that waste need to be safely stored and what are the projected costs there? How do they compare to solar that you can deploy today?

We are not running out of space to put power generation, but we definitely need to worry about costs.
