King wasn't worried about radical black thinkers, he was in community and agreement with most of them. King was worried about white backlash inspired by black violence.

King thought that taking on the US government with guns was not just philosophically wrong, but tactical and strategic stupidity.

The through-line between slain civil rights leaders is radical socialist/ Marxist thought, not violence. And King was defiantly among those radical thinkers, even though his legacy has been flattened to three or four lines from one speech.

The Monarchy should be abolished. And the House of Lords while your at it.

Ever notice how in court that pigs are always described as giant cowards? They're constantly terrified of how a woman flails as she's thrown to the ground or get PTSD when protesters shine bright flashlights at them.

I'm convinced that final exams at the police academy is a mock courtroom where the recruit has to testify "your honor, I was scared for my life". Bonus points if you cry.

If you look closely, there appears to be a "Bren" type LMG on the floor and something that kinda resembles a "sten" smg propped up against the dresser. I suppose these are replicas or they'd been the in the headline.

The problem with Windows 'debloat' scripts is that they monkey with esoteric gedit policies and registry tweaks.

Any Windows update, even security ones, can break the tweaks, cause bugs, or even instability. And naturally the users have no idea which of the tweaks is causing the problem. Especially when its been months since you used the scripts.

Now "deep customization" can break Linux too. The difference is that Linux developers are not going break your tweaks on purpose. For example, Windows recently closed some of the workarounds to install Windows on a local account.

Microsoft decides what users can do with Windows. Company officials have admitted that they're already coding the OS with AI, and that future Windows versions are going to be AI powered. The Recall behavior of taking screenshots to be analyzed by AI to catalogue everything you do isn't being developed as a Windows feature, but a core functionality of the OS.

What kind of mouse are you using anyway?

The Luddites were an early form of direct action of working people against the ownership class. They were also an early example of workers rights movement being crushed by State violence.

It's discouraging that their history in popular understanding is 1000% from the perspective of said ownership class.

My desktop is Fedora and I have a file server running Debian. I was doing updates to the Debian box through ssh and it took me way to long to figure out why dnf wasn't working.

I saw a documentary about the ultra rich teenagers in the US years ago. One young girl in that film explained that maintaining friendships with "regular" people was impossible. Her reasoning was that rich people do rich people shit. And you have the choice to pay someones way, which makes for awkward obligation/ resentment. Or you could exclude them, which also causes hard feelings.

That teenage girl? Ivanka Trump.

It's so sad that McConnell isn't going to live to see the America he was so instrumental in creating.

Just want to remind everyone that murdering people abroad is the most normal President thing Trump has done. Doing dirt in South America has a through-line all the way back to ~~Madison~~ Monroe.

In a just world, the Catholic Church would have so many judgements that they would be forced to mortgage Vatican City and put a roller coaster in Taco Bell presents: the Sistine Chapel, by Pepsi.
