This is a good point and George Floyd is a sad example of this in action during a police encounter. He exerted himself tremendously for many minutes while under the influence of various drugs, and with a seriously compromised heart, and then succumbed while being restrained.

Knowing that people get into this instinctual "fight" mode frequently during police encounters, to the point where they'll exert themselves to the point of exhaustion and beyond, I do wish police had a greater duty of care standard to check on people and assess for medical emergencies during such scuffles.

My experience with the .deb version seems to be stuck during startup on "Loading emulator dependencies"

On the bright side we may be saved from just such an infuriating realization

"It sounds like your perspective is formed form viewing the TV show "Cops". This is not representative of reality."

That's a poor and unnecessary assumption. Just in the last handful of years there has been a proliferation of good quality bodycam footage that gives unprecedented insight into police encounters. It would be more charitable to ask where the commenter's perspective is coming from.

"Situations where police are able to survive only because they were able to quickdraw and shoot a criminal first like some sort of cowboy are vanishingly rare and possibly purely fantasy."

It sounds like you may be the one who needs some experience watching body cam footage and reading about incidents. Just off the top, here is a quick refutation of your "fantasy" statement (and there are many more like it):

They'll extend you a varying degree of trust based on your burgeoning Amazon social credit score (taking into account your actual credit score as well I'm sure)

Who on earth are you to tell someone not to make friends with women? I struggle to interpret that charitibly

does this device have nextcloud integration?

I too am waiting for such a device. Does this remarkable tablet have a browser? I can't seem to tell from the product description and faq

The "tech bros" trope is getting quite tired; it would be more constructive to avoid such generalizations and stereotypes

One would have to be obtuse at best, malicious at worst to characterize Stallman's comments in the leaked mailing list thread as 'defending statutory rape' in any way.

Thanks for the update

I agree our understanding of the social nuances of the internet is in infancy; though the human tendency to enact mob "justice" is relatively better understood. The internet has enabled that ugly tendency of humanity to a scary degree. Especially coupled with the strong profit motive of sites like Vice and other so called media outlets, which stand to benefit greatly from whipping up such smear campaigns.

Signficant leverage in the realm of reputation and public perception which is quite important to large instituations?

I think the user you are responding to is attempting to undermine anything that can loosely be construed as a defense of Stallman. A bit of a dirty tactic, IMO, but the lines of battle have clearly been drawn.

Please note that Minksy is alleged to have had sex with the girl, and there is an eyewitness account stating that he declined to have sex. It's important to be as truthful as possible when speaking about this issue.

For one, if a person of sufficient status in silicon valley inquired as to the immigration status of the kitchen staff helping to serve their $1000 meal, and it became public, they would likely be open to the very same type of media slander / twitter mob whirlwind that we are seeing in this RMS situation.

Did she have sex with Minsky?

KirinDave's definition of "in good faith" only includes positions/arguments/opinions they agree with.

Is it a fact that Minsky had sex with the girl?

> The girl was most likely willing

Why do you feel compelled to paraphrase (and in the process lie)?

Is a university a good place to discuss things?

Do you mind avoiding paraphrasing? It seems a lot of the confusion is stemming from the editorializing / paraphrasing done by the media outlets and throughout the ensuing discussions so it may be best to litigate the direct quotations to keep the discussion as fact based as possible

> appropriately and at the correct times

Where and by whom is appropriateness and timeliness determined?

Has there been renewed chatter for possibly renaming GIMP? I have been out of the loop but it would be such a shame for the program to be renamed

Thanks for sharing this, quite timely in this context

> MIT grad, robotics engineer, mixed.

What does "mixed" mean in the author's bio? Is that relating to techinical accumen, race, or something else?

I want to try it badly but it goes against most fibers of my being to give a 3rd party extension such crazy permissions:

  Access your data for all websites
  Access browser tabs

Of course dark modes and dark themes have been around for a long time, but the user you are responding to specifically pointed to the 'rise of dark' mode, meaning the recent explosion in popularity

Thanks for that info
