I thought we were beyond this shit ever since the 18+ rating system for games came in like a decade ago?

Apparently the censors are still stuck in 2008?

Ah yes, certainly easier and more convenient to boot into a live OS or hidden OS every time you need to mount a hidden volume (per VeraCrypt’s recommended guideline), instead of just using the hardware from OPs post.

Just search. It’s easy. There’s heaps of data on LTT being shit, but particularly in Linus being a greedy, grubby little man.

Scroll down to ‘controversy’ and see if that’s someone you want to support.

Bummer. When this kinda thing happens to me I just accept the fate the universe has delivered me, and pick off the sticker for like 45 minutes while watching an episode or something.

No other removal method has proven reliably non-damaging.

Sold out and I can’t seem to pre-order a pair for their next batch (maybe the next allotment is already sold out).

Oh well, my wallet wins this round.

What a reactionary zealot response.

This is a dumb exclusionary policy being fairly pointed out, not ageism.

I’ll explain it with a comparision of the language used.

The language used for benches like this in my country, Australia: “Priority seating. Please stand for seniors, pregnant, or handicapped people”.

Priority, based on needs. Anyone can use it otherwise.

The language used in this sign: “Benches are for seniors are handicapped citizens only”

Exclusionary, based on privilege and needs. If you are old and infirm and a citizen ONLY YOU may ever use this bench, and if you’re not a citizen (tourist, asylum seeker, migrant worker) you can fuck off regardless of your needs. Pregnant women? Who cares, they’re not old and they’re women.

This is not a subtle distinction. This is language used to assert a hierarchy and exclude underclasses, and it’s embedded into every aspect of US society without most people even noticing because they’ve never seen different.

has been described by Politico as the AI boom’s most “acerbic gadfly”

The AI boom is about as real as the Metaverse boom.

I’ve seen researchers and academics prefer ‘AI spring’ to contrast with the AI winter of the last few decades to highlight the change in research and development spending, without the ‘successful market’ implications of the word ‘boom’. Can’t really call it a ‘boom’ when you’re losing billions a day.
