Personally I won't even download it, I even deleted music ive had for years because the artist went maga. And let my daughter use the CD in some arts and crafts, because I can't listen to it anymore.

That said, yeah, I'd prefer to download over buying if I didnt want the company or artist to get the money for it.

She'd just tell him to go first.

Kendrick Lamar is, Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce (tight end for the Chiefs).

And as someone pointed out earlier since I'm skipping the Superbowl itself for the first time ever, it may be worth it to watch the halftime show. Kendrick Lamar has.... Not been shy about his feelings regarding Trump.

For a fun reference, here's part of one of his songs from 2017:

Donald Trump is a chump, know how we feel, punk Tell 'em that God comin' And Russia need a replay button, y'all up to somethin'

Later that year he also talked about how just singing about it wasn't enough for him, and how he started supporting organizations battling Trump.

So halftime might be really fun to watch!

Well yes, but that's a positive. They are spreading the messages also noted in the article which are important to get out there. The press is a valuable tool to do that.

Eh, I'd say it picked up, it was already in the news, and the sightings have been spreading and only recently have federal agencies gotten involved.

Edit: autocorrect aneurysm

You don't...

You absolutely....

Even when it's "programmed" it'll still slide a bit short or long & you have to find tune it.

OK yeah fair. Especially if you play with the buttons a lot like trying to press them both at the same time.

HP/Lenovo/Dell workstation tiny/mini/micro will be cheaper and better supported. Price-wise, I've set up 4-5 reasonably powerful t/m/m machines for the cost of my M2 Mac mini.

Which is nice for some of the development work I do, but for a server I personally won't use anything other than Linux, and I wouldn't recommend anything else either. Apple adds some funkiness that can be a complete pain (IMO) with some tools, Linux is the only server solution worth using.

So if you want a Mac, go for it, but if you want a server as the most important part, I'd say get an x86 based bit of hardware.

The IA is being DDOS'd right now and is down, just in case you weren't aware

Holy crap!

Some of those comments could seem like an extreme joke of conservative beliefs, but when you take the rest of the comments they actually believe it - that's a terrifying level of far right nutso.

You do realize blue MAGA is just a nickname? It isn't saying that they are literally the same in this nonsense argument you're trying to make.

So its a nonsensical and stupid nickname, intended to create a false equivalency?

I'm shocked. Just... Shook to the core.

Are you really so blind that you think Seattle, Portland, etc are all ran by MAGA and that Antifa is a MAGA led operation?

Please point to where that claim was made.

Yeah, I can't find it either, because that's not what I said. Thanks for trying!

I'm not going to try to equate Democrats with MAGA cause they're not the same

Winner!

Great, we've established "blue maga" is a complete nonsense term for something that doesn't exist, because they are not the same.

But I'm not going to pretend that there aren't a plethora of violent extremist on both sides.

Violence? Sure. Violence has existed throughout the history of humanity, its not going to disappear in a mere handful of years.

Violent extremists? Lol no. You just posted up protests, including references to violent acts that had been found to have been committed by right wing maga extremists who were trying to start a race war. Their stupid idea, not mine, that was their intent.

Please, list for me the violent extremist groups that are Democrat groups, equivalent to Patriot Front and the like.

And then also see of you can pick out the difference in the reasons behind the violence, and who it was who initiated.

Similarly, I use my windows work laptop for accessing remote (usually Linux) systems, and a few specific apps that are windows only.

My desktops are Linux (and of course my servers here as well), and I have a windows VM for those tools that are windows only that I need. Which I've modified that VM heavily to not have the normal junk from windows.

A recent decision for "security" will require using AAD joined machines only to access email/teams/etc. I was going to make an exception for my machines, then decided against it. My laptop now just sits off to the side, with only teams and outlook running, and its basically all I'll use it for.
