Regardless of whether this narrative is tired, or a decade old, it is still very relevant right now. Trump is a Russian agent. It is essential not to let him hand over the US to Russia.

Any citations? I mean, the more recent stuff is obvious, because Trump just comes out and says it. He basically admits he's a Russian agent.

But what about the 1987 full page ad? Is that referring to this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us

If so, that ad doesn't say anything about NATO. The ad recommends pulling support for Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, and most of all Japan. Although Trump's ad is fucking stupid, this ad doesn't say anything about any NATO countries.

How would me joining a union help with the Amazon problem? My pay and benefits (and my coworkers' pay and benefits, to the extent of my knowledge) are very good, so we don't currently need a union. My job is completely unrelated to Amazon, and my employer isn't a customer of Amazon or its competitors.

I'm not going to stop complaining about Amazon.

Nobody's saying to host it on-premises. The SaaSS article is advocating running software that you control on servers that you control. That's it. The server is likely in a datacenter, and its hardware could be owned by the datacenter, the customer, or someone else. It could be a virtualized host.

The SaaSS article is about software and services, not hardware.

Anyone else got this link working? It wants me to sign up for an account, but the sign up page is broken. It just says: Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again or check out our help area.

They have several options to ask for help, all of which require signing into an account.

The author needs to cite sources. I would tell them, but I don't have an account there.

Israeli propaganda and troll farms are obviously real, and we have to deal with them every day on Lemmy. But you can't fight them without citations.

According to the repo, it builds fine on Linux. They just don't distribute a binary for it.

I literally own a CD of Windows NT 4. I have used it before on two different laptops, a long long time ago. Windows NT 4 absolutely did exist.

Woke used to be a positive term. It referred to people who had their point of view expanded or changed so that they felt more awake than they had before.

Woke used to mean enlightenment.

Freedom of Speech does mean freedom from consequences, at least from any government that recognizes that freedom of speech. The phrase, "Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences" refers to the ability of private entities to take negative actions against speakers engaging in free speech, simply because those negative actions were within the private entities' rights all along. For example, the ability of any Lemmy instance to ban anyone they want.

Regardless, speech that is actively harmful, is false, or meets certain other circumstances (depending on which government you're looking at) may not be recognized as covered free speech. Tucker Carlson is probably about to do a bunch of speech that is not covered by freedom of speech, which is why the expected sanctions will be justified.

Most importantly, how is the connectivity? How is the privacy? How many radio communication devices are there, and can I disable them? Do I have to accept a privacy policy, EULA, or TOS?

The video didn't address this (at least as far as I watched, and I watched all but the last segment where it seemed like he was just talking about price).

It's Apple, which is a dealbreaker for me. Everything Apple is proprietary. All the OS, all the apps, everything is locked down. Last I used it, you can't even compile your own software for Apple platforms without paying a massive fee.

I will wait to buy the open source AR goggles, even if it makes me 10 years late to the bandwagon.
