This is so bizarre. So his GF decides he’s gay, because his room is tidy? No mention of sex life, so I’m going to assume there’s no issues there.

Such a weird assumption to make.

Lemmy loves to hate the guy, don’t they?

It’s usually applied to a non state actor, not a government.

The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, for example, isn’t generally considered a terrorist attack.

I don’t see how regulations can help him there, especially given the nature of the Web. Bluesky can always move offshore, beyond the reach of the US authorities.

I also imagine both Bluesky and Mastadon users will tell x users, loudly and clearly, to fuck off.

The definition of terrorism doesn’t say you need to terrify people at all.

Besides, there’s been a lot of acts that are generally agreed to be terrorist acts, that have targeted a very small group of people, such as a religious group, or even one specific individual. The IRA’s famous reply to Margaret Thatcher comes to mind.

It seems his goal was to terrify one small group of people, namely senior people in the healthcare industry, and I think that counts.

Potentially, but I think that’s true of most terrorists.

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

It’s pretty much always meant violence for an ideology or cause. And the political motivation is very much what makes the difference.

Words do have definitions.

From what the manifesto found on him allegedly said, it sounds like his actions were politically motivated. And violence in pursuit of a political goal is kinda the definition of terrorism.

I suggest you actually check the definition of terrorism, Capone wasn’t motivated by political ideals, he was motivated by good old fashioned greed.

Those tend to be a personal grudge, not a political statement.

The fact you don’t know something doesn’t make you stupid, it just means nobody has ever taught you about it.

Carbon monoxide isn’t something people can just inherently know.

People are getting hysterical about drones, most of which have been revealed to actually be manned aircraft.

A bit more than a laptop involved, but that’s embarrassing to say the least.

Buy used and pay cash, although the previous owner of the drone will almost certainly be questioned.

I’m not Christian, haven’t seen the show, and still think he’s a pompous ass.

This dude really is a pompous ass sometimes.

Oh definitely, although the federated nature of the platform means it’s easy to block the angry Internet communists.

Personally, I just block all the ML domains, nothing good comes from there.

Yep, nothing but the dregs will remain.

There is a clear successor to X now, Bluesky, which means anyone not happy with X knows what their best option is.

My guess is, when X and Bluesky are roughly even in terms of active users, X’s user base will start to collapse and there will be a mass exodus to Bluesky.

HDMI is reverse compatible a long way back, almost every device will fall back to a standard that doesn’t require such an expensive cable.

Come on man, this is simple stuff.
