The People's Republic of China is an illegitimate organization. Hong Kong, Macau, and all of mainland China belongs to the Republic of China (commonly referred to as Taiwan). Fuck the PRC. The US, RoC, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Macau, and every other nation that has a military presence in far east asia needs to bomb China and it's allies back to kingdom come. Far too long have we allowed these Commies free reign to do as they wish.

I used IBM-Q over the internet, and right now it is only good for mostly statistics, economic models, and well nothing else.

Could digital clothing help stop climate change? by fanterbanter in environment

[–]sad_campaign 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Privacy concerns aside, and believe me there are a lot. If there is anything that is damaging the environment it is thrown out electronics and a crap ton of clothing. Then this article comes a long and claims that if we were to put electronics into clothing which complicates both reuse of clothing and reuse of the electrical components let's convert everything into a non-recyclable and non-reusable form of clothing embedded with electronic components. Are you for real? The solution is to use less stuff and for longer. And when it comes time to dispose of something that hasn't any more use in your life anymore either re-purpose it as something else entirely, or recycle the various component materials for use in other products.

'SEND IT BACK SEND IT BACK SEND IT BACK' by [deleted] in environment

[–]sad_campaign 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I cannot emphasize enough that we should all reduce, reuse, and recycle and in that order. As it stands right now many people buy completely new, use for a very short time, and only recycle if it is convenient. This is never a good thing.

Windows Marketshare Declines While Ubuntu Numbers Up 700 Percent! by Optimus85 in Linux

[–]sad_campaign 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Linux, BSD, macOS, Solaris, HP/UX, and practically every other operating system or computing environment out there shares the same history, file structure, and works basically the same way. Not counting licensing choices, APIs, and the languages that the front end is written in (I am looking at you Apple). This is because macOS, Solaris, and HP/UX, among others are bonafide Unix certified. While BSD and Linux are Unix-like. The one and only major outlier in servers, home computers, and other areas is Windows with it's NT kernel, NTFS, and horrible file management and practically non-existent package manager. With macOS now using x86 every major proprietary software is available on macOS, and crossover for Linux and Mac is simply icing on the cake, so to speak. Windows is non-existent in the mobile space with the exception of netbook like ultrabooks. Servers and mainframes are where Linux shines, and what you have is a hodgepodge of desktop users for gaming and business workstations, consumers who use aging or cheap-ass laptops as desktop replacements, and a shrinking number of embedded systems like ATMs and POS machines. The only things keeping Microsoft and therefore Windows alive are: 1) Businesses that never want to upgrade and pay for extended support 2) Gamers that still use Windows and those who use Xbox 3) Colleges and many large corporations mandating use of Office 4) Patents dealing with DRM and the FAT based filesystem that practically every USB flashdrive and Android uses.

Let me put it this way, out of all the people you know how many have within the last year bought a MS product? Honestly I can't remember the last time I ever did, and sure I have Office365 from my school, but that is free for students of institutions that already have an Office License (meaning that MS didn't make any money from me). All my computers are either from Apple or System 76. The last 6 phones I have had include 2 Androids, 3 flip phones with KaiOS, and 1 iPhone. I mean hell I am an accounting student at night (WGU) and freelance bookkeeper by day and all my clients use either LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or GoogleDocs, Xero, and Quickbooks Online. I use SoftMaker Office heavily since all my clients can read the files and only touch Excel if I am doing a proctored exam. Fedora 32 with WINE and Steam dualbooting on my Mac Mini with Catalina and the games, software, etc that entails is enough games for me and many of my friends. Out of all my friends I can think of only 3 who have an XboxOne and 6 that uses Windows for PC games. The vast majority have a PS4 and/or Switch and doesn't mind gaming in Linux as long as Steam and WINE are installed. I think that Microsoft will manage to stay around for quite some time, but more in the capacity of IBM and less Google. Just my two cents, so take it for what you will.

The problem is that the government forces businesses to do these things, so I have zero sympathy for these rent-a-cops.

'We're watching you': Chicago mayor warns those not following social distancing orders by dcjogger in politics

If a civilian were to watch you by way of infrared, track all your communications, collect all your data, and forcibly prevent you from leaving your home. Are you telling me that you would not do anything? I do not live in Chicago, nor do I live in Illinois so there is no personal beef that I have with anyone elected to office there, but I completely understand the reasons why someone would have to defend their rights, by force if necessary. There will come a time when we all have to defend our rights.

What if the lockdown was a big mistake? by dcjogger in news

[–]sad_campaign 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Calling it a mistake would imply that is was an accident. It was no accident, therefore it was not a mistake. The lock down should have never happened and many countries that did not lock down are now doing better than every single country that did lock down. Fuck the politicians and their authoritarian fetish.

I think the Chicago mayor needs to read the story about the security guard who tried to enforce face masks and what happened to him.

Good. This Gestapo everyone must wear a mask shit has got to stop. If you want to wear a mask great do that, but don't think everyone else is just going to play along. Assert your rights people. The only way this ends is if we stand up for ourselves whenever people keep doing this crap.

I don't care what the law says I will always encrypt as much and as often as I can. There is no one that can prevent this. I mean all I have to do is use a book that me and the other person owns and just say page 5, paragrah 6, letter 2. 5/6/2-7/6/4-13/5/6-4/5/2-7/8/9 I mean these people are increadibly stupid to think that they can do anything about e2ee.

I think that VPNs, P2P torrents and the TorNetwork will always have its place in society. The unfortunate thing is that most people do not even know that these tools even exist and most that do know of their existence think that only ID thieves, drug dealers, and pedophiles use them.

I wouldn't call it a free speech platform, but it is by far much more privacy centered and doesn't police things too much.
