Lol believe me, the only thing I’ve gotten or expect to get from this interaction is a headache.
you have only yourself to thank for that. after all,. you made the decision to come and troll my comments, and you’re the one who refuses to stop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not using any strawmen or rhetorical traps (what even is that?) or twisting your words.
except for the many, many times I clearly show you were, you said “nah-uh!” and we keep going around in circles.
all because you refuse to admit you’re wrong and keep hatefully trolling me due to your deep-seated insecurities. because you just can’t walk away due to some hangup about what an internet stranger happens to think.
but go on and deny that, too, and I’ll just keep repeating the same thing again and agin until the end of time.
tired of losing yet? because I’m happy t keep telling you this forever.
first, as I’ve said, I’ve presented facts. I’m no here to discuss your straw man r be drawn into any rhetorical “traps” you might try to get me to admit something you can twist into something you can claim as a ‘win”— and I know that’s all you’re after here.
I’m obviously not going to engage with you when I know you’re arguing in bad faith an from a flawed premise.
it’s clear that you’re after some sort of catharsis - something to prove your hours of trolling was worth it, and I’m going to tell you now: you won’t get it from me.
What more do you want than “I was exaggerating”?
since it was an obvious lie - not an "exaggeration" - not lying about it for hours and hours would be a nice place to start.
But we never got there
because I’m not stupid enough to believe such a feeble lie.
Request an edit if you really think it’s so misleading, I’m sure @meth_dragon@hexbear.net would’ve initially just edited if you were so concerned that this “lie” would mislead others
I that were true, they would have after I confronted them rather than doubling down, again and again, with one lie to cover another. for hours.
Now I doubt it, because you’ve proven to be acting in bad faith by not just accepting the explanation and continuing the initial discussion
refusing to accept such an obvious and feeble lie is not “acting in bad faith”. you coming here to try to gaslight me into believing that lie, however, IS:
“DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”
macOS is actually pretty awesome. lots of FOSS people don’t like it simply because of Apple and because of how Apple tends to be a bit overbearing when hit comes to how it likes to do things. macOS has limited customizability, for example, which is something linux users like to go bonkers with. I get it. but there are still ways to do what you want regardless. lots of hacks and stuff.
But it’s the most widely-used and most commercially-successful distribution of UNIX in the consumer space, and the only one still around in any meaningful way. Apple managed to bring UNIX to the masses and to scale it from smartwatches to servers where others failed for decades, all in one, unified ecosystem of software and hardware products. Yes, Apple’s control over that ecosystem is too much for some to bear on philosophical grounds, but those objections usually turn out to be mostly symbolic when put to practical tests.
The other main objection is that Apple products tend to be in the “premium” range of pricing and are “anti-consumer” in that they’re difficult or impossible to repair or upgrade. Those are valid criticisms, however they affect a very tiny sector of users, so make what you will of that.
Note: Linux, currently, cannot run on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. great efforts are underway to make linux compatible with the processor, and AFAIK, the linux kernel itself runs on the AS processors, but the project hasn’t gotten much farther than that, being stuck on untangling the display adapter or something. The effort is, however, ongoing and should, hopefully soon, see a fully-compatible AS linux kernel with compatible AS linux builds n the near future.
seems we were both wrong:
the number were adjusted down after several instance owners culled large numbers of inactive and spambot accounts
yeah, I’m going to wait for some official clarification before I make any judgement. I’ve been to plenty of discussion panels where people are throwing around ideas while trying to solve a problem that they might not make as serious proposals in another context.
I’ve attended UN conferences before (when I was in university) and have overheard diplomats bullshitting about things that, if misunderstood or mistaken for anything other than bullshitting by some overeager and under-experienced (or, perhaps, bad-faith) reporter could have caused serious problems.
I certainly expect the SG of NATO to act more responsibly that to make such a conditional proposal and to do so seriously at this conference, and to such an audience. And at such a time.
see my comment— this article, from headline to its firs two sentences, changes its story 3 times. it’s nonsense.
the NATO SG merely suggested it at some discussion panel in Norway, and not even to any Ukrainians. It sounds like some dummy at Newsweek overheard something they didn’t understand and wrote some crappy clickbait article based on, basically, a bad idea someone floated.
facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood :(
