Yes I’m well aware of Jim Crowe laws. Before you can enact something fair you’re first going to burn down everything you have currently.
The systems you have right now are a dead end, and there is no way to manage or change that system from the outside. So first it must be destroyed.
Then don’t do that.
Give everyone, and I mean everyone, a standard fifth grade test. It would not surprise me one bit if the highest failure rate of such a test comes from the large swath of redneck nitwits there exist over in America.
Not even close. And I find it racist of you to assume that a minority is somehow incapable of passing an exam.
Still a better system than your electoral college.
Don’t you hate it when there suddenly are 13 additional months in your year?
“My thing” is vanilla. But of all the weird yet somehow socially acceptable kinks out there, I will go out of my way to kinkshame vore.
Ew no. Not vore.
It’s all nice and dandy, you coming in here talking all this nonsense, but then you completely lack any historical knowledge on tech or how we got here today, so I’m far more informed than you are.
Yes, so go out of this conversation, and stay out of this conversation until you’ve at least bothered to educate yourself.
Really? Because I’m pretty sure it’s all the old guys that created all that crap, and all the new guys who are trying to get from under it.
“Old men yell at cloud” vibes.
If neither of you are old men, then I really pity you.
… Many more people saw the video because they want to watch (a) video. It will have a bigger impact.
This is the only part that matters.
NONE of that answers any of the concerns that video as a format of record is shortsighted and transient.
Nobody cares. Convenience matters.
It does address the issue of LANGUAGE.
There is no issue with language. The movement achieved 1.4 million signatures as intended despite Ross’ videos being in English.
Writing an essay doesn’t change this either… Unless… You’re somehow suggesting that Google Translate does a good job? That would be laughable. I really hope you’re not.
It doesn’t address the issue of ACCESSIBILITY.
YouTube has the most accessibility.
It doesn’t address the issue of ARCHIVAL (archiving?).
Only if Ross has deleted the video and the video project files from his computer.
But… Um… You do understand this initiative is more than a few videos on YouTube, right? So there’s a lot of “paper”-work surrounding it, including both written and recorded reactions to this initiative from muitiple parties.
If history preservation is such a BIG concern for you, you should know this is more than enough evidence for some far future archaeologist to piece together what this is all about.
Libre Office. Just stop using Microsoft and use Libre Office.
Oh, Libre Office is missing a feature you’re expecting? Throw the team a donation (which is still probably cheaper than an Office 360 subscription) and make a request.
Many countries in the EU already tax the rich. I mean, it could be better. It could be a lot better, and we still have right-wing types that try to destroy that positive element within the EU.
But of all the countries that would benefit the most from heavily taxing the rich, it would be the US. And since the US has made itself the centre of all the world’s attention, and the whole world still uses the USD as the primary exchange currency, anything that would shake up the economy of the US would shake up the economy of the world.
Ubisoft can go fuck themselves.
I hope we’re talking about that Linus, and not that Linus. You know, the one that works with computers, and not the other one that works with computers.
I’ve seen a number of these now, and I think there’s only two in total that were either funny or didn’t look pointless.
Art is nice though. I like the designs and colour choices.
This is not a change.org petition. This is a European initiative. Meaning if this gets the necessary number of signatures this could get brought forth to the European Parliament, where laws on the subject can get negotiated over.
My phone still comes preinstalled with a bunch of crap and I want it gone. Like I’m never going to use Google Games, I’m never going to use LinkdIn, I’m never going to use YouTube Music, or Opera Web Browser. None of these apps I can remove without root.
Hmm… Good question… They’ll have to be the kind of videogame that was the first to do something, or set the standard for something, or has had a huge, long lasting cultural impact that can still be felt today.
So in that hypothetical museum I’d nominate:
