That’s because even a grey market Windows key costs US$20 nowadays and that’s over ₹1,600. For comparison purposes, the largest Indian banknote is ₹500.

A reminder for context: it’s not summer yet in Antarctica. Summer doesn’t start until December. It’s still supposed to be cold.

I wasn’t aware that rsync also copied system files. I’m curious to know why my method is unsafe. The only potential problem I see with what I did is mixing up if and of in dd.

I’ll give an anecdote that I experienced just now. I bought a computer component, but I had to dig through the “other buying options” to find it on Amazon. The default recommended listing had a price of $207, delivered to me by 2 October. The listing I eventually found was priced at $206, delivered by 28 September. So it cost less and would arrive sooner, the only difference is that it was a third-party seller and not Amazon.

Don’t be mistaken–being disqualified from standing for election is a restriction on his right to free political speech. However, this is a permissible restriction on free speech because the constitution (Amendment XIV) deems that those who engaged in insurrection should not be able to serve in office.

Trump’s argument is similar to arguing that slavery is legal because it says so in the original constitution…disregarding the fact that a future amendment changed that.

Some people don’t want their computer to be a challenge. They don’t want to be able to notice the operating system at all. For most people, the operating system is a means to an end.

In my opinion, all companies essential to national security should be nationalised. I mean the likes of Lockheed Martin as well. There should be no profit from war and we can’t afford companies to chase profits against the interests of national security if we end up needing it.

The legal grounds: The oil was shipped by a US company in violation of US law. American companies can’t do business with an organisation that the US government has designated as a terrorist organisation. Thus American authorities siezed the ship and its cargo.

They are not. I do not refer to the package called “LibreOffice”. If you search for “office” on the Windows Store, you’ll see a bunch of LibreOffice clones that are not branded as such and are not free of charge or contain advertisements.

This is like the people who repackage and rebrand LibreOffice and then resell it for $10 on the Windows Store to gullible users.

And the worst part about that is that it doesn’t even break the law.

I didn’t say that the dislike for the symbol was rational; I just said that I understand how people could come to dislike it.

I hope your realise that people can understand why others think in a certain way without agreeing with that way of thinking. You seem to think that because I said that I can understand why Finnish people might not like the hammer and sickle, I must therefore support banning it. I don’t.

I’m not gonna say I agree with this or defend censorship but when your country got invaded by the most famous communist country in history and had a bad time under their rule, then it’s quite understandable why people there don’t like symbols associated with said country.

The entire affair is just a mess of history. A fascist dictatorship being replaced with a communist one.

Is it really that hard to do your own taxes? I was taught to do this in school and it’s really not hard if all you have to do is write in how much money you made and then claim the standard deduction. If your taxes really are that messy then you can hire an accountant to do it, and they’ll do it ten times better than any tax software could, because if the software could do it better then they’d bloody use the software.

Edit: was mostly referring to people who work a job and that’s it, which is probably 80% of the population

You’re technically supposed to use a human cashier lane if you have a lot of groceries. At least in the USA, it’s pretty common for self-checkout lanes to have “15 items or fewer” signs.
