  • The article also mentions that Israel has started using it in their own propaganda videos. showing the triangle over targets as they’re hit, and when you flip it like that there’s a very clear implication of destroying the symbol of freedom… Which is to say, I still fail to see your ultimate point. You’re just pointing at the news article and saying “SEE! THEY SAY ITS BAD!”

    Could you provide some actual argumentation to go with that?

    And just so it doesnt seem like I’m running, “Targeting reticle” would imply a weapon optic or similar, hence my confusion. “using it to mark targets” would have been clearer.











  • Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.

    Despite the myth that “Linux doesn’t get malware”, it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.

    Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn’t be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.




  • Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily

    Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.

    I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation

    Letter paper (8.5" x 11" | 215.9mm x 279.4mm) is kinda sorta pretty close to A4 (8.27" x 11.69" | 210mm x 297mm) so without having the two next to each other, it can seem like A4 is just a funny piece of letter, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, USA and Canada (and apparently the phillipines???) use the “North American Standard” which is a terrifying mess in comparison to the beauty that is the ISO standard.

    Edit: typos


  • You know what, you’re right. Looks like I’ve gone too long assuming they were interchangeably usable by changing the surrounding words.

    I’ll redact my previous statement, though to be clear, I still strongly disagree that one could say that the attackers schizophrenia was definitely a factor in this without having a previously existing mental evaluation and the expertise to understand it. You could say that it’s more likely to have been influenced by his schizophrenia, but as I previously noted, a relatively small minority of schizophrenic people are violent (10-15%).


  • You don’t need to be a psychologist to determine whether his mental illness was a factor.

    I’m not saying his mental illness was the reason.

    Please continue saying more contradictory statements.

    If you think it could be a factor, then you think it might be a reason that he did this. It could be a factor, but again, neither of us are equipped to evaluate the mental status of someone based on news articles.

    Edit: Factor =/= Reason. My argument in this message is flatly incorrect due to this, though I’ll leave it up.
