Microsoft has been pushing hard for its users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft Account.

It can be more than superficial. If you're restoring files from your old PC to your new one, it could make a mess of things if the user account is in a different path. Probably not a lot of people write scripts for their windows PC, but those could break.
Sure it would be a janky restore or janky script if it was explicitly specifying the path of the home directory instead of the environment variable. But environment variables have been janky in the past on windows, so it's best to just keep the paths as consistent as possible when migrating to a new system.
Kinda shit they just wouldn't prompt you for what you want your home director called tho.
Yup. and some meetings you people ask you a question so you legit need some time to think about what information you should look up before the meeting. Even if 95% of the time nobody asks you anything, you gotta take some time to think about the topic the meeting is on and whether there might be a question for you so you have the answer for that 5% of the time. But 100% of the time you have to stop and consider what the meeting is about beforehand for the 5% of the time there's an actual question.
Also when I know I have a meeting coming up, I don't want to get in too deep on something that takes a lot of focus.
I saw an article about them attacking Lebanon now.
Hezbollah, not Lebanon. Please don't legitimize terrorist groups by considering them to be the government of the country they operate in. Lebanon has elections, please support democracy and it's not consider Hezbollah as Lebanon's government, even if those psychopaths have control over a significant portion of the country.
That being said, Nasrallah is probably under significant pressure to do something to help Hamas in some way. Last week he put out some threats against Israel. Israel put out counter threats. In all likelihood that's where things will stay, neither side wants a war with the other.
The media is always saying a war is imminent. Remember when they were claiming China was going to invade Taiwan any minute? There's probably some outlets that're still are saying that sometimes. It gets clicks, views, and ratings.
Who knows they might be right this time (a stopped clock is right twice a day) but it seems doubtful.
So, where will it stop?
In terms of Gaza, Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages. It's not going to stop as long as Hamas is holding Israelis hostage.
Hamas is likely making a lot of money from the suffering of Palestinians. So they don't have much incentive to release the hostage and put an end to the conflict.
So it will continue on as the IDF goes house to house trying to find the people that Hamas took on October 7.
Eventually either the IDF will find all of the hostages or Hamas will release them. Then it will end.

It is indeed. But atheists have a tendency to think it's fine for them to be hateful towards religious people because "they hate all religion". Logically hating more people makes someone even worse, but there's not all that much logic going on in the minds of some atheists. For some people, Atheism is just a cover for being hateful, in exactly the same way some people use Christianity (or any other religion) to provide cover for their hatred.
If the guy didn't say something about "deists," the comment would be identical to something an Islamophobic Christian might say. Religious bigotry from atheists is identical to bigotry coming from religious people.
I can prove objectively that religion is bad for humanity. Can you do the same about atheism?
Sure... there's a very large number of people that were killed by atheists like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc. There's a large enough sample size to objectively prove that when atheists are in power they are as bad (if not worse) than religious people in power.
These propaganda memes are getting more and more bizarre. This is the "Promised Land" meme that from I can tell originated from a faked photo of a patch on an Israeli soldier a few weeks ago.
Israel simply doesn't have the capability to take that amount of territory, much less hold it. And see that blue on the Sinai peninsula? Israel actually controlled that in the past. They returned it to Egypt when they made peace in the 70s.
This is the silliest anti-Israel meme yet. Try harder next time.
Right now it's just some tough talk from both sides. It's possible for this to amount to something more than the normal levels of exchanging fire that's been going on since October 7, but it's doubtful.
Seems more likely Nasrallah just has to make some token effort to support Hamas to appease the rank and file. So he threatened Israel three days ago. Israel makes threats back now. Just another day in the Middle East.
That would imply that al Jazeera knew October 7 was going to happen in advance. Is that what you're saying? Or is October 7 such an inconvenience to the narrative you want to believe you've got a complete mental block on it?
Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.
There's nothing wrong with fried chicken. There's nothing wrong with watermelon.
But if you're trying to think of menu options for an event associated with black history and you just shrug and think "I dunno, black people like fried chicken and watermelon, so lets do that" you're being so lazy you'd be better off doing nothing at all. I literally typed "black history food" into a search and got many pages with lists of options. So by serving fried chicken and watermelon it's a statement "I don't give a fuck about black people but since I'm obligated to serve some kind of food option I'm just going to stick with lazy stereotypes."
It wold be preferable to do nothing and be honest about not caring than it is to offer a stereotype and then cry crocodile tears because people aren't recognizing the token effort that was made.
What is it the activists wanted people to think? Did they consider their actions might lead people to turn against them instead of against the oil companies?
Yeah I don't know why they wouldn't block the entrance to an oil refinery. Some people would be unhappy about this especially the people that work there. But the general public could understand, who knows it could possibly slow production for a few days.
Yeah because these people are making random attacks on landmarks instead of going after oil refineries and gas stations. Their strategy is confusing to the general public.
Targeting oil companies directly would force people to talk about the actual issue. "These radicals put orange dust on Stonehenge what are they trying to accomplish with that?" vs. "these radicals got an oil refinery shut down for a day, what are they trying to accomplish with that?" The former requires an abstract explanation (which isn't effective) while the latter has a very obvious answer to the point where most people won't even bother asking the question.
They did try to fix the Yennefer/Ciri relationship in S3.
But it suffers from the same problem with the other seasons where the writers are too busy trying to be clever to just tell the story. Like they show a party where a bunch of random shit happens then they later show a bunch of flashbacks to explain what the hell happened. You can imagine them all congratulating themselves in the writer's room on how brilliant they are to come with telling it that way.
They introduced a new character who's either a bad actress or poorly directed. Or both. There's one scene where she's holding a dead pheasant and I'm not sure if she was posing or waiting for the director to say "cut". Either way it's awkward and cringey as hell.
He knows China doesn't have the capability to invade Taiwan, but needs to save face. So... the evil foreigners are trying to trick us, but I'm too smart to fall for their tricks!
Fascist propaganda 101, always blame the foreigners for everything.
Xi needs to keep people thinking he's the strongman that's protecting China from the evil foreigners. If he tries to invade Taiwan and fails (the most likely outcome) he appears weak and it's over for him.
Large scale ground invasions are generally a losing game.
Large scale amphibious assaults even moreso. I feel like people keep forgetting Taiwan is an island. Sure China has a massive army and could throw a lot of waves of soldiers in a straight up ground campaign, but with Taiwan it wouldn't be a straight up ground campaign.
So yeah their strat would have to be based around economy and politics for the time being. Sure they're improving their Navy, but it's probably be at least a decade (if ever) they could have successful military action on Taiwan other than just sabre rattling.
Also he's not in office. It's kinda like getting upset if George Santos said something insane.
I get that people are working hard to find evidence for the "Israel = Nazis" narrative that's currently trending, but kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't we?
I see people constantly invoking the Nazis to make excuses for the actions of Hamas. The logic is "Israel is like Nazis therefore everything Hamas does it permissible." It's idiotic reasoning but it's commonplace here.
This guy is similarly idiotic. If you're outraged by what this guy is saying, look at the rationalizations people on here do everyday in support of Hamas. It's the same eye for an eye kind of thinking. "Other side is Nazis, therefore we should do horrible things!"
See the difference between you and I is that I attribute the actions on October 7 to Hamas, not the Palestinian people. But you see any Israeli doing something wrong you use it to paint everyone in Israel as being that way.
You can split hairs about whether that's antisemitism, but I don't care. When you see one person of an ethnicity and/or religious group doing something wrong and then go on to say "they" do things like that, you're showing what kind of person you are.
I tend to say Jew when when someone trends towards hating all Israelis, because hatred towards Israel is a common dog whistle for antisemites. After the "It's ok to criticize Israel" meme went viral, many antisemites did a find and replace on "Jew" and changed it to "Israeli". Those same antisemitic conspiracy theories most people would immediately denounced by most people before are now commonly spread simply because one word was changed. When I see those conspiracy theories espoused with one word different from the original, I bring it back to the original version. Why would I pretend that I don't know the intent for these conspiracy theories?
Sometimes it's important to take what you're saying and put the word Jew in there. If what you're saying about Israel suddenly becomes uncomfortable when "Israeli" is replaced with "Jew", then you should consider more carefully what you're saying. Someone says "wipe them off the map" they are talking about the ethnic cleansing of Jews after all. Or do you honestly believe that those that want Israel wiped off the map would displace Arab Israelis along with the Jewish Israelis? Come on...
The trick to avoid being a racist is introspection. Some consideration about whether your thinking is being guided by racism every now and then. If it's uncomfortable to hear your rhetoric being applied to Jews rather than Israelis or "Zionists", then maybe you should be checking how you're thinking about things a little more.
If me considering your rhetoric as being against Jews makes you uncomfortable, then good. Your discomfort might lead to introspection.
You don't seem to understand a lot about history with regards to Jews. Someone can consider themself to be a Jew if they are in the Judaism religion, and they can consider themself a Jew If one or both of their parents are Jews. Sometimes people that don't consider themself to be a Jew can be considered a Jew by others even if just one of their Grandparents were a Jew.
All of these have been oppressed in the past. Oppression of Jews generally goes in cycles. Tolerance for a few generations, but then animosity builds up over time. Since Jews are a minority group they're an easy target, and if a minority group achieves any measure of success people become jealous and a minority group having success runs counter to white supremacist ideology. Paranoia builds up, lots of conspiracy theories around Jews being successful because they used manipulation and took things that rightfully belonged to someone else.
Then a massacre happens and most people are horrified by it. So the majority of people go back to tolerating Jews again. But after a few generations people go back to the paranoia and jealous hatred against a minority group for achieving any kind of success.
The last cycle when antisemitism reached it's maximum, there were no countries that offered sanctuary to Jews. I don't think that will be the case on this cycle because while there's few people left who personally witnessed the holocaust, most people in positions of power at least knew someone who was affected by it. But on the next cycle? What happens if the people that say October 7 was justified are the majority and are in positions of power in the west? The tankie pro-Palestinian protest kids of todady will likely be the MAGAs of tomorrow. It's easy to see the potential of repeat of every country in the world refusing to offer sanctuary to Jews that are the victims of oppression.
And that's why Israel exists. It's not a religious state. It's also not an ethno-state. It's a state that exists to provide sanctuary for victims of antisemitism. A lot of people are uncomfortable with the existence of Israel because it's a reminder of our failure to have any level of humanity towards Jews in the past.
I hope there's a day where it isn't necessary for there to be a country that has a Jewish majority to ensure there's at least one country that offers sanctuary to Jews during times of peak antisemitism. But seeing attacks on synagogues and attacks on Jewish businesses in the west, we're unfortunately not there yet.
Same here. Also I sometimes think about these kinds of things when I'm off the clock too. I don't want to but you can't exactly tell your brain to stop thinking about work stuff at 5pm. Sometimes I'm just watching TV or whatever and a thought about how to solve a work problem pops into my head.
To me it says more about how bad the management is at a company that has to resort to try to detecting mouse jigglers. Do they know so little about what the employees do that they don't simply notice that work isn't getting done if an employee isn't actually working?
Apparently I'm Neutral Evil. But I consider myself to be Chaotic Neutral.
I'll fix the problem only when it's actually a computer problem and when you can explain what the problem properly. I don't care if it's a ticket or an email. Though I might not get to the email today and tomorrow I might forget about it, so you might want to put a ticket in that'll stay the until it's closed. But the ticket system sucks, so I might not log into it and see your ticket for a few days. If you send an email, I might do it right away, but you might have to remind me about it in a few days because I might've forgotten about it.
I don't care about your job title. If you VP of whatever the fuck and think you're important or if you were hired yesterday to an entry level position, you're all users to me. But the issues aren't fixed based on the order they come in, it's based on how much effort you put into describing the problem. If you think you're too important to describe the issue properly, you're low priority. If you want a meeting to describe the issue verbally, oh you better believe you're low priority, I'm not your fucking secretary that's going to take down your dictation. You got a keyboard in front of you, use it. I might eventually get around to asking you for more details about the problem, but only after I've fixed all of the problems reported by people that made an effort. Your priority is based on your effort.
Ok so maybe I'm Lawful Evil? But everyone thinks I'm Chaotic Evil because they don't understand why some people get stuff done right away while they have to wait.

Thanks for the comment. Kinda confirms my approach (mostly out of laziness) of "I'll do it when the ISP starts pushing it" is the correct one.
I think tech advocacy generally doesn't work, and in the case of IPv6 I can't see it working at all unless they can convince the ISPs to devote a lot more resources to it. But since I'm not an ISP... meh, whatever I guess.
The "study" appears to be a paper from a student group at a liberal arts university in Wesleyan, Connecticut.
While I'm sure Wesleyan University is a fine school, calling it a "coalition of prestigious academic institutions" is a bit of a stretch.
So... uni students upset over things they saw on TikTok put 105 pages of whatever crap they could dreg up from the internet into a PDF and post it onto their squarespace page. "Middle East Monitor" links to the "study" says it's from a "coalition of prestigious academic institutions". And then a link to this "news" site gets posted to Lemmy.
They don't mention their associations with these other universities on their squarespace page. But there's some coalition that the "University Network for Human Rights" is a part of, so maybe these other groups are a part of that?
