Because it’s what they will buy, it’s what I’ll buy. And it suits their argument. Calling people out for not reading the article when they are quoting a price from the article is silly though.

That being said, I don’t really buy the comparison between the optiflex and the pi. It’s like saying you can buy a perfectly good Geo metro as opposed to building a kit bike.

It seems like people really aren’t reading the article.

I’m confused about what you want.

Mods literally got replaced by reddit because they refused to capitulate.

I’m not a fan of reddits choices, but if I was deeply involved in a community I’d consider staying to be part of that community still.

People under the age of 25 tend to be really bad at the Internet. The number of times high schoolers or college kids are mystified by how I’m able to get information quickly from search engines is beyond me.

I’m not surprised they can’t tell what’s real, they can’t search for tiny details like “transmission time to Mars” or “gravity on mercury”.

The hexbear is so afraid of introspection and thoughtful consideration of their beliefs they lash out.

Real bad faith framing of your opponents argument there; be better than that.

Like trying to reframe my argument as “rich country good, poor country bad”?

I’ve mentioned statistics, I’ve mentioned a human angle and I’ve been upfront about what ways Cuba is better than the US. You’ve tried to dismiss my argument by misrepresenting it. This level of insecurity shows how shallow your beliefs are.

No, it’s that saying one place is worse doesn’t make it so.

Human development index and quality of life studies put the US ahead of Cuba. Cuba isn’t a hellhole that many people make it out to be, but that doesn’t automatically make it better than the US.

Cuba has better healthcare and lower cost of living, but Americans aren’t on rafts to Cuba.

One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole. It could be a lot better, but just shouting that the US is bad is mindless propagada. Be better than that.

Notice how when confronted with facts the hexbear has no real argument but assumes being obnoxious is the same as making a coherent argument.

Cuban refugees carry a higher level of risk than other countries, and yet they still come. Ignoring facts doesn’t make a country better. You wouldn’t let a fact like that slide from the US. Hexbears lack intellectual honesty.

Each year around a 100,000 Cubans are willing to risk their lives for a chance to live in the US.

The US is far from perfect, but people don’t get on rafts hoping to make it to Cuba.

Cuba is an interesting one.

The problems with Cuba are political prisoners and their handling of AIDS. And a huge chunk of issues intertwined with the trade embargo.

As with all nations, it could be better, but it’s far from the worst nation in the world.

Don’t join the army.

Not exactly, they look like earth octopus but are backwards and ungrateful. They have built no statues to bajoran fishermen.

I don’t care what rights they want to curtail, if they say they’ll lower my taxes by a nickel I’ll vote for them!

I always wonder if Iggy Pop asked to be on Star Trek or if someone called in a favor.

Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from “the Chase”.

Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux

Absolutely. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.

Didn’t Microsoft lose a large anti trust court case about this shit for internet explorer?

Yes and no.

MS made Internet explorer uninstallable and made it even if you could install Netscape you couldn’t set it as the default app. Forcing teams to open internet explorer edge is more in line with iPhones and Android. Both phone OSs will let you install different browsers, but opening links from most 1st party apps opens safari or chrome with no real way to change it. It’s one of the worst things about phones and now MS is trying to move Windows that direction.

It’s going to get worse. Once corporations start to adopt edge MS will move to make browser office the only office. Clicking a .doc in edge will redirect to browser word 365. Saving already defaults to the cloud, soon we’ll have “virtual downloads” that save your download to your cloud and you can only meaningfully interact with it via edge.

We need more legislation and regulations allowing software choice for all platforms. We’ve never been allowed to own software, now we can’t even buy a perpetual license. Soon we won’t be allowed to have a copy of software saved on our devices, and files made by that software won’t be allowed on our computers either.

Bedroom eyes is the worst episode of DS9.

Everyone looks like they are uncomfortable at all points.
