I dunno what you are trying to prove. I haven't been rude.

Why do I have to demonstrate anything? I've made my argument and nobody has refuted anything I've said. They've just kept on with their post-hoc rationalisations. Tell me why it is…

Spot on. Doom Eternal while it works pretty well does have significant artifacts in some levels. There is also some weird bugs that don't exist on Windows and significant performan…

> Just admit that your idea of good politics is putting people out in the street and let them figure it all out. Apart from that, we're probably on the same page. When people like …

> Neither does getting money without labour mean that a UBI is wrong in principle. Yes it is. Because they are taking wealth from people who do work. Everyone sidesteps this and tr…

> Those who work wouldn't necessarily be taxed, so they don't need to support those unable or unwilling to work. We all know that those who work will be taxed more highly as that i…

I love how people can post-rationalise that right is wrong. It is very clever, but you are being dishonest with yourself. It is simply wrong to take from others who work to those w…

They can find another job, they can start their own business, they can get contracts for their labour, if they are talented they can get patrons. There are alternatives, just becau…

> You aren't seeing the forest for the trees. That bit of welfare going to people who maybe don't deserve it? It's nothing compared to the money that goes to corporations to keep p…

> We should bare the burden together. No. I am fed up of this pathological altruism. They should be looking for employment. End of discussion.

I don't see it that way though. I have many relatives that are government scroungers. Some of them are criminals. These people just don't want to work and will do anything they can…

That is wrong as well. Just because huge amounts of money is spent somewhere else, it suddenly doesn't make it okay to give money away to those that are unwilling to work. In short…

As I said previously it is a matter of principle. UBI takes from those willing to work and gives to those that are unwilling . I am not talking about people that are unable to work…

> It's also wrong to maintain a poorly working system just to prevent that scenario. I agree. But that still doesn't mean you have a right to take from those (through the form of t…

No. It is wrong to take from those who want to work to give to those that don't want to. I already pay almost good portion of my earnings to the government to see it squandered on …

I would just use another payment provider. If they don't want your business go somewhere else. It sucks but there isn't much you can do really.

Some places are super locked down when it comes to what software you can install. For example it took me a month to have pandoc, vim and a few other tools (GNU Tree) and a few othe…

I assume if the PC isn't mine e.g. machine provided by employer, or the box isn't mine (router from ISP) It is probably has telemetry of some sort. I also expect device s like a ph…

While retro-brighting does make it look nice, it can make the plastic brittle. Also on some old computers (Atari STs) you can damage the look permanently if you use even slightly t…

You can do this with just the serial port and a USB to serial converter with something like a RPi that will emulate a modem for you. http://podsix.org/articles/pimodem/ However tha…

I've been using XMing for years (there are probably better options out there but it works for me) and there is of course vcxsrv as other people have mentioned. It looks nice and al…

If one searches around youtube there is quite a lot of films reels people have uploaded show the devices in action. e.g. This is a fire control mechanism for ships. https://www.you…

Also can't script the client, you can't run your own server. Also with MIRC IIRC correctly you could layout the chat windows pretty much anyway you wanted and even have like a desk…
