Just a reminder about not tolerating intolerance.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Are those countries this way as a result of the historical theft of their resources? Would uplifting the common person in that country lead to progressive change there?

You’re still reaping the benefits today from colonialism before your lifetime. Your prosperity is founded on wealth stolen from countries still suffering from the theft. It’s okay to want to repair this.

How far back do you think is valid? Is 300 years, too far to you?

I agree there’s a line. I’d say pre Dark Ages is too far, but I get there’s a limit most people could agree on.

I bet the overlap between Steam games that run on hardware still running those OS versions and Steam games that run on Linux is approximately 100%

I recommend the Xubuntu flavor of Ubuntu.

If it’s a fairly new computer (especially if you if you have 32 gigs of RAM), Bedrock Minecraft can run pretty decently in a virtual machine.

Isn’t that just the Apple philosophy?

Wait, why would it make any difference if Donald is elected?

I thought everyone was saying that Biden and Harris were doing nothing about the Palestinians.

Yeah, that’s a nice multi monitor setup.

I look what you did there.

Oh, shit. This has been my all-consuming thought today. Weird coincidence to spot this now.

It’s been a while since I’ve been there. Many of the longer ones are designed. The triangles are desire as far as I can remember.

Are you pasting the file or the image data?

If you’re opening the image, and copying the file’s contents, I could imagine it becoming uncompressed bitmap data to be stored on the clipboard rather than the clipboard containing lossy compressed image data. When pasting the contents somewhere, you can’t count on the destination handling jpeg data as often/reliably as you can count a destination being able to handle bitmap data.

edit: I hit the wrong reply button, but I guess this stands alone fine as it is.

What OS are you using? Perhaps it’s being converted because of limitations of the clipboard?
