Strange, it always worked on my desktop. I think I fixed it, but apparently I can’t tell lol.

Hmmmmmmm, yeah. I made that on the desktop, but I see it doesn’t work on Boost. Even when I try to “Open in Browser”. Copying and pasting into Firefox Mobile works tho. Weird.

It’s more than a day later, but I will see if I can fix it anyway lol.

you should post this to the vexillology community

Edit: Fixed the link. Missed the https:// bit which is super important for mobile. Sorry gang.

Inkscape also has a QR Code function! Here’s a video if you’re into that kind of thing.

I swear it’s a grass roots psy-op campaign or something. If I have to hear that “Dems are war criminals” line one more time I’m gonna lose it, lol. I get it, neither option is great, but if your gonna get stabbed either way wouldn’t you rather be stabbed once instead of six times?

Yooooo, based on recent happenings I for sure thought this was about “illegal aliens”. Pleasantly surprised lol.

Probably 8 so I can get some pointers on my Shawinigan Handshake, and practice on a dummy at the same time!

Not really tho. Like, the art style is similar fo sho, but gameplay isn’t (unless they’ve wildly changed Overwatch). It looks closer to Horizon Monster Hunter. There is also going to be a story mode you can play solo (with bots), so that’s neat.

Well I hate that, lol

That link is lookin’ reeeeeeeal suspicious, lol.

I think “the time” should fit “the crime” though. Taking away someone’s vehicle could negatively impact their ability to earn money for things like food and shelter. Also getting the food to the shelter becomes more difficult too, especially if public transit is poor or not an option. Stuff like this has a greater impact on lower income individuals too, and they already have it bad enough.

To me, revoking a license or seizing vehicles is a consequence where punishment is the goal. A speed limiting device has more room for rehabilitation I think. Whenever it comes to punishment vs rehabilitation I’m always on the rehab side.

All cities have fantastic public transit at all times, this is known. /s

Also what’s with the rural hate outta nowhere?

If you paid someone for Windows and still had the activate message then they ripped you off.

While some softwares have free versions, unactivated Windows isn’t that. Free versions are typically feature-limited, or serve up ads to cover the cost. More importantly they are intended to be free and offered as such. Unactivated Windows is a paid product that hasn’t had the proof of purchase (product key) applied yet. Microsoft has hitherto been lax about enforcement, at least against non-enterprise users, but it is still against their terms of service to continue to use Windows without providing a key.

Like, sure you can get it and install it for free, but that doesn’t mean it’s a “Free Version” in any official sense. If it was indeed a free version then they wouldn’t pester you to activate, they would clearly state it’s a Free version, and the activate watermark wouldn’t be there.

This is digging deeper into my youth, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure older versions of Windows were different. I remember having to provide the product key during the installation of Vista way back when. Before I ever saw the desktop. This is when Windows came in a box from a physical store. Nowadays with online purchases it makes sense to provide a level of computer functionality so users can access the online store.

That’s not exactly the same as them offering the whole OS for free. That’s basically a trial version. The “Activate Windows” message is stuck there and it will bug you with reminders to activate all the time. Their intent is for you to purchase a key from them. Any other method to remove the message and activate Windows that does not involve paying them money is against their terms of service.

Saying that’s Windows offering the OS for free is like saying you can get free books from a library if you just don’t return them. It goes against the intent of the service.

I don’t know all the details, but you can buy Windows 11 from them still. An “upgrade” from 10 to 11 may be free, at least that’s what the world’s most annoying pop-up was telling me before I switched to Linux.

You’re forgetting piracy. I didn’t buy any parts with OEM licenses. Granted I went grey market for my Windows 10 so I paid someone like $20.

OneDrive also deletes files off of your computer if you don’t use them often enough. When I was switching over to Linux I had to download a bunch of stuff that was made on that PC! Ridiculous.

Like, you can turn that off, but I don’t think I ever signed up for that specifically.

Ok, that makes sense. I figured that, if anything, it would be frost weathering. That’s not an “explosion” in my mind though. Perhaps when a crack forms a lot of the tension in the wood is released and it can cause a sudden jolt or shift? If all the snow and frost on a tree suddenly jumped off after a loud crack I could see someone calling that an explosion. Definitely a lot of misleading terms and info kicking around. Thanks!
