Oh, how gracious of them to allow device owners to exercise their property rights!
Fuck those megalomaniacal technofeudalists sideways with a rusty iron rake. It shouldn’t fucking matter what they want to “allow” because they shouldn’t have the power to impose their will in the first place!
Well, that’s unfortunate re: Jeff, but it’s still weird to me that the other commenter would be aware of that about him (which you mention having to dig through a decade of blog posts and old tweets to find), without at some point also finding out that he’s ‘the Raspberry Pi guy.’
It’s like knowing that Hitler was a vegetarian but somehow not knowing that he was the dictator of Germany who started WWII – it just doesn’t make sense for a fact to be that isolated from its context.
Are you doing it as a defense mechanism against discrimination and prejudice? Because that’s what code-switching is about.
Because the upthread commenter’s definition is bad. It’s more of a social class/racial discrimination thing, with the stereotypical example being about how black people speak differently in a social context among themselves than they do in a professional context with their white boss. (Note that I’m not endorsing the racist implications; I’m explaining what the code-switching is in response to.) I’m not talking about other languages, either; I’m talking about differences in things like word choice and level of grammatical formality that could, at most, be seen as a different dialect of English.
Being just straight-up bilingual and using different languages in different contexts could maybe be code-switching if there’s an element of social hierarchy involved, but in general is not that.
I love that copypasta.
Ah, I was wondering what the next rat-fucking tactic would be.
…wat.
I think you must be thinking of some other Jeff Geerling. The one I’m talking about is probably the #1 guy on Youtube for content about ARM stuff, and AFAIK isn’t a homophobe.
Your comment doesn’t make any sense because, even if you were talking about the right person and your accusation were accurate, why would you know some obscure thing about him while being unaware of the thing he’s famous for?
Welp, so much for adding to my pressed-penny collection
Jeff Geerling is probably having a fit right now.
I think everybody else understood that to be a joke, not a serious misunderstanding of the song’s origin.

wow sorry I upset you but you need to cool off. It is not acceptable to talk to people the way you just addressed me.
What a condescending non-apology. You fail; try again.
Hint: a proper apology is about acknowledging your own bad behavior, not my justified reaction to it.
The only one addressing people unacceptably here is you. You’re just trying to DARVO because you’re butthurt that I called you out on it instead of tolerating your bad-faith rhetoric.
If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.
called for a Zone of Peace in the Indian ocean, which the U.S. and Britain opposed
They really were Hell-bent on Diego Garcia.
How critical success ability checks should work:
DM: “Nat-20? The dragon is amused by your insane audacity and merely punts you out of his chamber instead of turning you into a smoking cinder on the spot. Roll for fall damage.”
On the other hand, a lot of screenies do poorly at formal English, like grammar, spelling and word choice, because much of their learning is casual.
Gotta read actual books, not just listen to movie/game dialogue. (Short-form news articles and textual social media probably don’t cut it either, just because news is written to be understood even by people with poor reading skills and social media discussions are too casual.)
Sorry you want to jack off for free
Go fuck yourself, you presumptuous, lying, piece of shit. You have no right to libel me just because you don’t like the question I asked!
Seriously, if someone like an ex asks you to delete nudes of them, you have a moral obligation to do that, and that right extends to all people, including you, prostitutes, sex workers, and yes actresses
You engage in blatantly bad faith scurrilous false accusations like that and then you presume to lecture me about “moral obligation?” What the fuck is wrong with you?!
Delete your toxic bullshit and then maybe we can have a productive discussion about how you’re asserting that people have the right to accept money to do a job and then rescind permission for that work product to be used unilaterally and (presumably) without recompense, and how the world doesn’t work like that.
Otherwise, you need to be banned.
The scenes in question were of an actress who had been hired, filmed, and paid for her work, in films that were then released commercially. If that doesn’t count as “consent,” what the fuck does?!
They really ought to start calling that place Sakartvelo in English-language news.
Everything in owner because I don’t understand the implications well enough to do otherwise (so thanks for the thread).
