  • Specifically where it relates to violent crime.

    Essentially it is supposed to make statements like the following a rule violation:

    “If someone murdered [fictional person] they would totally get acquitted because any jury would just nullify the charges.”

    While the following sentence would not be a violation of TOS:

    “The murderer of UHC CEO Brian Thompson should get acquitted via Jury Nullification because [reasons] and this is super dope.”

    The first example could be read as a call to violence, while the 2nd is not calling for a crime.

    As I understand it “All future jurors in money laundring cases should nullify, because tax evasion is… like… super cool” would also be legal, because money laundring is not a violent crime.




  • They both approximate perfect representation close enough. If the difference between one government or the other comes down to variations that are basically explained by the weather being good or bad on voting day, you can’t really claim that the government isn’t representative.

    Just because it didn’t represent YOUR opinion, it doesn’t make it less representative. A truly representative government will make decisions that align with 10% of the population 10% of the time. So if 10% of the population want to bomb Canada a perfectly representative government will make it happen every 40 years or so.







  • While it technically works it has massive issues.

    After every patch I can play 1 match. Then I get kicked because some random file has a version mismatch. From there on the game will not let me back into the lobby screen because of version mismatches.

    I’ve tried deleting the proton prefix, reinstalls on various ssds and hdds, different proton versions…

    And it’s definitely an Apex issue since a ton of other EAC games work just fine for me.

    The only thing that actually works reliably is booting to Windows and playing it from there for me.


  • There is no issue with the source other than it not the new york times or the washington post or the bbc

    1. NYT, WP or BBC are also suspect sources, especially when it comes to the Palestine conflict. You will not find me saying anything else.
    2. Issues with the source you cited (that don’t involve it’s Hezbollah affiliation):
      • It’s not the primary source (that appears to be the Haaretz article, but I can’t confirm that, since that is paywalled)
      • It gets the name of one of the parties involved in the conflict wrong (it consistently refers to the IDF as IOF (replacing “Defense” with “Occupation”). I get why they do it (the IDF claims to “defend” an area that they are actually occupying), but that’s not how you do journalism. Nobody thinks that North Korea is a democratic republic, but any news article about it will still refer to it as “DPRK - Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea”. Because that’s its name.

    So pointing out that the source you posted is biased and potentially unreliable is fine. You citing another source (even one cited in the article itself) is completely par for the course. Hell, now I really would like to know, why you chose to post a secondary source when you had the primary source avaiable to you?

    Matlab exists for Linux and is the same as on Windows. LibreOffice is a fully functioning office suit for Linux.

    I can’t speak to SOLIDWORKS, their website only lists a windows version. There is however some community work being done here https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux And it looks like they have it running.

    Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are listed on that github, you should probably start with either one of those.

    For a complete beginner I’d recommend Ubuntu, since it’s a solid distro with huge wealth on online support available.
