Well. You'd need to avoid windows, tea, people with umbrellas (OK not directly Russian, but soviet era eastern europe), aeroplanes, cars. And if they really want to get you, they'll go old school and use a gun, or perhaps even a missile if you annoy the right people enough.

I'd just skip Moscow as a whole personally.

It does, at least now. It was the 11th.

I feel she should have at least tried the shaggy defence.

If you mean they shouldn't. I'd agree. But, as has been seen a lot on youtube. "They" can DMCA anything they want, and the only route out is usually to take them to court.

I mean I'd hope if they're going in this direction they will be decent about it. But, it's not the way things seem to be lately.

Just post that you think it'd be impossible to port to rust and linux. Then someone is bound to do it :P

If they're moving away from open source/more monetisation then they're going to do one of two things.

1: Make the client incompatible (e.g you'll need to get hold of and prevent updating of a current client).
2: DMCA the vaultwarden repo

If they're going all-in on a cash grab, they're not going to make it easy for you to get a free version.

What do you mean? Administrators/liquidators will have an entire list of assets owned by the bankrupt company.

They will be looking for a buyer to take on the whole company (assets and liabilities) or sell off the assets to cover liabilities.

Those boxes are still owned, they didn't magically become fair game because the company owning them went bankrupt.

If people advertise that they stole one of these boxes, they become fair game to be pursued by the liquidators/administrators or any entity buying the ownership of them.

God, the number of ‘swing voters’ you can have a conversation with and find out that they know nothing about either party’s actual politics is… just horrific. People who call themselves anti-gun-control and support stricter gun control measures than I, a Berniecrat, do. People who talk about the horrors of open borders, and then when you talk to them they support significantly liberalized immigration law and a path to citizenship. ‘Pro-life’ supporters who, if presented with the loosest abortion laws in this country, express support for such ‘reasonable’ measures.

Here in the UK I sometimes think most people know more about US politics than domestic politics. So, I know how this kind of ignorance can happen.

But then, if you're suggesting talking to people with fascist views, then that's also the point I'm making too. Because that's finding out why they think the way they do and perhaps changing their mind by telling them which things they've been told were wrong all along. My experience has been that the indoctrinated people will listen to what you say, perhaps even agree. Then, in short order revert to the old talking points.

Regarding the "embarrassed" conservatives. I wonder if they're more just conservatives that are following the flow of their fellow conservatives, not really considering the full impact the result may have. You don't need to look further than the running mate, to see how republicans are happy to endorse trump, even though they don't stand for most of what he says. Because winning matters most. I wonder if some conservatives are casting a blind-eye to the fascist undertones, because overall they will otherwise get what they want?

I mean if you think they can be beaten, sure. As an outsider I don't think I'd dare try to call the result of the US election for example and that's probably a pretty good way to measure the level of fascism there no?

My thinking is that there's usually a root cause for this. If that's something that can be addressed, then it probably should be looked into. I'm not ruling out that a large proportion of people are just stupid and/or easily led though.

From my point of view I see a shift to the right happening in Europe too. So, there's definitely a trend. The question for me, is why is it happening now? Outside influences for example?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 2 days ago

For me, there's just been less posted that I feel I have something to say on. If I see something about programming, networking or tech that I have (probably) some useful info to contribute I will do so. Likewise if there's a general subject I have anecdotal points to make, or I'm just genuinely interested I will comment too.

But otherwise, I just read and move on. There's been a lot more read and move on lately. Maybe because of the upcoming US election for which by and large beyond the fact I don't want the orange shitgibbon (As a fan of the west wing, I like that the spelling checker suggested shibboleth to correct this "typo") to win, I don't have much interest. Mostly because I'm not from the US.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I think it's probably important to find out why this is, rather than just wag the finger and move on. Because, if the trend continues the non fascists will be outnumbered. In fact, I would say that this is really saying that 1/3rd of Americans feel free enough to say this. There's a good chance there's a silent amount afraid to say their true thoughts.

If it's just outside brainwashing, then investigate that. If there's a genuine root concern that is causing this attitude, see if it can be reasonably addressed. If it's just idiocracy happening, well then we're all screwed.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, you mean everyone except the native Americans should leave America? Just trying to understand clearly the implications of what you're suggesting :P

In all seriousness, after all this time I would bet most people couldn't trace a lineage to a single country now anyway.
