This is how the mafia works. Its the only business trump knows.

Boobies!

This is all to try and start a civil war, to give them the excuse they need to Seize permanent control.

Heh, thank you. It’s usually not so bad, but figuring our all the assembly redirects needed is always a nightmare job.

Can’t wait until this this is on .net 8+ and we can use clean configs.

Sure. Go make one. Until then, this is what’s happening in the world and it’s affecting damn near everyone on earth in one capacity or another as the world order is being upended.

Don’t like it? Do something about it. Don’t bitch to random people about it.

Or you work in an environment that’s still using Full Framework and ASP.NET Webforms.

These places exist, and they are unfortunately not rare.

Why not this one.

Json configs read much cleaner to me since .net swapped to them a while back.

Xml is incredibly verbose when there’s a 12k loc web.config.xml

Every situation since 2016 has been one of those.

If you have your bitlocker drive connected to an online Microsoft account: yes.

They’re going to do everything they can to make sure it never gets to that point. By starting a civil war or an external war to postpone the elections.

Just wait and see. It’s going to be a shit show, and not for them.

Depression.

There are strikers who are on the frontlines, like you describe, and people who strike by staying home.

Both are valid forms of civic disobedience. One is not inherently better than the other. Both are required to necessitate change.

Much appreciated! This helps give me more confidence to move to Linux :) :)

I picked up a separate SSD to install linux on so I can dual boot for the moment if needed, and then eventually recover my windows drive and turn it into extra storage for my linux drive.

I might need you to cite a source on people being generally smart at the individual level. Current politics feels like it disagrees with that assessment…

A sink-hole then?

Or, if I may: a stink-hole.

Bernie Sanders was an activist.

This is my new favorite way to slander really shit people. Thank you.

This man was a treasure we didn’t deserve.

Wayy smarter and more thoughtful than anyone gave hime credit for in the media.

That pledge and a dollar will net you 0.84 EUR and dropping fast.
