  • He said a lot of crazy shit like that since he was first elected. The thing I was referring to is that he and his circle deliberately riled up a crowd to the point of storming the capitol, obstructed the response to the attack, and only back-paddled when it was clear the scheme had utterly failed. That was a coup attempt. He openly tried to subvert the constitutional order. And then the weak response given to that by the opposition made it possible for him to get re-elected four years later. And it was already clear what he would be doing, he told everyone who would listen from the very start what he would do and then proved it beyond any doubt on January 6th.

    So not only did he already attempt a coup because his ego couldn’t take the loss (i.e. “messing with elections”), but beyond that his party is aggressively gerry-mandering their own states, they are messing with the election related laws, they are trying to acquire voter registrations from Democratic states. Trump has openly questioned the two term limit for presidents, he sells Trump 2028 merch for fucks sake, he constantly threatens political opponents in public, has said he would like to be king or dictator, and so on and so forth. It couldn’t be any clearer where this is going. How much more proof do you need before you will accept that he is a “persistent threat” to the constitutional republic?






  • Instead it’s a couple little boys peacocking around bragging about how masculine they are to a captive audience.

    Uhm, well there was a lot of that stuff, but Hegseth spoke for like 45 minutes and inbetween the usual incoherent rambling and machismo, and the book plug [!], there were some actual important announcements thrown in. Internal investigations is to be gutted, records of wrongdoing will be expunged, “DEI” purges will continue, and a whole lot of “you can do whatever the fuck you want now, we will back you” messaging. This was a rallying cry to the fascists in the audience, and I fear there is a subset that will act on it.

    Haven’t made it through the entirety of Trumps speech yet, but most of the first ~20 minutes have been his usual meandering.

    Edit 1: Heh, nice Freudian slip a bit later into Trumps speech:

    That’s why I chose ‘razin’ Caine. He’s fantastic, by the way. I hope you all agree. If anybody disagrees, could I please have your hand? Who disappears that ‘razin’ Caine is no good? Just raise your hand. *inhales* I don’t see any hands raised.

    Man kann natürlich auch total gehetzt durchs Leben rennen und ständig auf die Uhr gucken, aber als angenehm würde ich das nicht empfinden.

    Aber das ist doch genau der Punkt, was nimmt sich die Kirche raus mich alle 15 Minuten an das unaufhörliche Fortschreiten der Zeit zu erinnern? Sollen die sich halt ne Uhr mitnehmen wenn die das brauchen und mich in Ruhe lassen.

    Ist nebenbei bemerkt halt auch einfach die Rechtslage, nur “sakrale” Nutzung der Glocken ist aus Traditionsgründen ausgenommen, also Gebetsrufe (was nebenbei bemerkt auch ein bisschen fraglich ist im Bezug auf Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz und so). Aber die Uhrzeit anzugeben ist halt schlicht keine sakrale Nutzung.


  • Benedetta Scuderi, an Italian member of the European Parliament for the leftist Greens-European Free Alliance group who has joined the flotilla, told Italian public radio RAI that drones had dropped stun grenades.

    Well this is why probably. Can’t let one of your MPs get attacked, bit of a prestige issue when you just let that happen. Other quotes seem to go in that direction at least:

    Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement the sea convoy had been targeted by “currently unidentified perpetrators”. He expressed the “strongest condemnation” of the incident.

    He added the Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, was “already on route” towards the flotilla “for possible rescue operations.”

    An Italian official said the navy had been mobilised primarily to help Italians on board.

    Note how they specifically avoid saying the boat is there to protect the flotilla.







  • No I’m going to tell you that is still irrelevant. The OP said:

    I’ve had one that thought that “SSD” was a kind of RAM, and insisted on installing Windows on a hard drive.

    It seems the student thought a SSD is RAM in the sense of “volatile CPU storage” and thus unfit for an OS install. And a SSD is not RAM in that sense of the word.


  • In the context of setting up a PC a SSD is a drive, not RAM. You couldn’t pull out your RAM DIMMs and just run on your NVME/SATA SSD as RAM instead (unless your CPU/MB support that which to my knowledge isn’t common). I’m not saying that flash memory isn’t random access memory in the general sense of the word, I’m saying that when talking about a PC specifically RAM refers to special memory the motherboard makes directly available to the CPU, and a SSD isn’t that.


  • Well it’s special in the sense that opposed to the most common kind of RAM, DRAM and SRAM, it has non volatile storage. Which is why it’s referred to as NVRAM instead of simply RAM. Saying RAM usually implies volatile storage in a PC, certainly does in the context of an OS install on a HDD and SSD, and in that context a SSD isn’t RAM. Yes there are minutiae to the terminology, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.
