prevent historical comparisons

Which comparisons exactly are prevented?

I can say the AfD is a nazi party. I can say I believe they are very similar to the NSDAP 100 years ago. I can say they oppose the German constitution, especially the human rights provisions.

Same with Israel: I can say Israel is fascist. I can compare it to apartheid. I can say Israel has since its founding enageged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The only comparisons banned are those considered hyperbolic. I cannot say the AfD plans to commit genocide because they simply don't. I cannot say Israel is repeating the Holocaust because it's obviously not. Anything off an order of magnitude or more is iffy at best and illegal at worst.

Really though, it's a mild annoyance at worst to comply with hate speech laws. Slightly adjust what you want to say and you're fine. There are far, far more restrictive German laws that actually stifle free speech - such as the ban on "protective weapons" during protests combined with police violence not being prosecuted.

I prefer this:

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:

1. Dusty Teal
2. Blush Pink
3. Dusty Lavender
4. Butter Yellow
5. Dusky Rose

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:

1. Penis
2. Gay
3. WTF
4. Dunno
5. Baige

I … that’s not my typo in #5

I don't know enough about Windows app development to answer this. Maybe it replaces the old .exe and the now replaced .exe is just continuing to run from RAM? Maybe there is some restarter.exe program in the same folder that does all the work. In any case, this depends far too much on the Windows update process and how to launch applications.

I just know when I used Windows applications in the past, they were able to restart themselves after updating somehow.

I meant the old .exe would check the signatures before initializing the official Windows way to update. Effectively have this run whenever you start the application:

main() {
    if (update_available()) {
        exe_path = download_update()
        if (signature(exe_path) == SIGNATURE) {
            install_update(exe_path)
            restart()
        } else {
            put_up_a_warning_or_something()
            delete(exe_path)
        }
    }
# Rest of the application
# ...
}

The only thing I have no idea how to implement would be the install_update(path) function. But surely this is one way to install updates without signatures recognized by Microsoft, right?

And if for some reason you aren't allowed to sign the .exe because this breaks something, then place an unsigned .exe in a signed zip folder.

Yes, but from what I understand this refers to the automatic update functionality and not Microsoft's own .exe signature verification thing.

Couldn't you do it like this:

• Put hardcoded key into N++
• If a new release is available: Download, then verify signature
• If the signatures match, do whatever Windows requires to install an update

That should work, shouldn't it?

It's astounding this wasn't done years sooner to be honest. I mean, signing software with keys is not something invented recently. Not doing so is akin to storing passwords in plain text.

Aaaahh please use punctuation

It would make it infinitely more understandable if you wrote:

Normalize saying "is that a furry thing?" whenever a guy says he is an alpha

Ok, but the second tweet is a bit redundant

Like what else would a .log file be? A video file? A Word Document? An executable?

Do you really need to inspect the properties to be told: "This .log file is certainly containing text. Thank you for installing Windows 10. Save 5% on your Office 365 subscription with code 'ILOVEMICROSOFT'"
