This judge did. Strangely, the age of consent in Brazil is 14. Seems easy enough to reverse the decision, but I don’t know how Brazil would handle this now they have freed the rapist.

It’s Brazil law.

This overall discussion is about Brazil. Please stay on topic.

A twelve year old child is unable to consent to an adult.

The Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has made motions to enter the ring. He had made a strong impression on us back in 2020 pushing back against the Republican state Legislature about COVID.

I can only redirect misbehavior at this point. We have had lots of discussion in the past on how this affects them mentally and emotionally.

I specifically limit my kid’s socials to get friend groups, etc. I can’t prevent everything, but I don’t need that constant drone beating them down daily.

I’m not sure where to go from here. We’d have to build a system where the individuals have more power than the state overall, but the state has enough power to do thinks like protect itself from other countries, care for the vulnerable, provide infrastructure, etc, etc, etc. From what we were taught, this is how the USA was originally built, but the system has been exploited by the wealthy.

Let’s clarify.

Are you saying that the famine didn’t happen, that the same famine would have happened regardless of the economic system, or something else?

I’m not against communism, and capitalists can make similar damaging calls.

I think both systems tend to produce oligarchs through different methods. The point isn’t to pick a team and rally them on, rather let’s look at things honestly and consider information hostile to our viewpoints. I think it might be possible to build something better than both.

I’m pretty sure he’s beaten and we aren’t going to hear much more from him over the next 3 years.

I took the plunge about 10 years ago. It’s so much easier now.

I BOUGHT 10, then abandoned at 11 because 10 pro OEM converted to home. Home prevents you from running the console snap in tools you need to administer your system.

I’m with you

Teams, modern O365, AD, Azure, etc only sells because its built on Windows.

I can assure you, I’m watching an org entrench themselves deeper into the MS eco to obtain these services. The reasoning is that the systems they have are useless and they believe MS will fix everything.

If MSFT loses the home market, businesses have a high chance of following, especially since their QA process relies exclusively on home users.

There is a 10-15 year delay on this as a user-base from school needs to be developed. This could happen if schools find they can run the software they need on older and older hardware.

All they really need is to reach maybe 10% desktop market share, and MSFT would start facing a slaughter in the coming years as big OEMs start shipping linux from factory.

OEMs were shipping Linux on AMD a bit more than a decade ago. I don’t recall seeing Linux in the wild like that, but I remember the Dell AMD machines ended with a 5.

Open Enterprise Server / Zenworks is one option. It’s actually the predecessor to AD. From my experience it is the most polished option. There are several foss implementations of LDAP, but nothing I’m aware of (or looked for) in the enterprise scale.

You are completely right. That will be true until Linux is proven to have enough utility and be able to run enough the software end users need. Active directory is killer, but there are alternatives.

It’s a shame Novell is circling the drain, as it does have the ability to manage Windows and Linux machines in a similar network. If Microsoft fucks up hard enough and the opportunity is there, we might see an exodus. European governments are supposedly pioneering this now.

I’m aware this is still incredibly improbable, but the possibility is growing.

Replacing the battery is no joke. I spent a few hours on the task, but I was bouncing between that and several other things.

Surface 4 sucks on w11. Mint is also a great choice. That’s what I’m using on mine at home. My only complaint is hardware, either the battery is finally falling or it has weird parasitic draw.

Yeah, it’s super simple.

I’m selling a pile of computers I bought off auction. People are choosing Fedora over Windows 60% of the time.

They believe they have a captive audience.

There’s IRC, and we could link to fedi content.

Buy a SAS adapter and put them in an external storage rack.
