I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

Maybe you shouldn’t.

That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.

You’re not learning anything if Copilot is doing it for you. That’s the point.

Please inform these countries that they do not exist.

Enjoy your privilege.

You neither agreed with what I said nor disagreed with what I said. You did not address what I said at all. I will give you one last chance, but I doubt you will bother:

“Mount McKinley” is “just a name” for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is “just a name.”

Then ask virtually any black person if they don’t care about Trump and Republicans restoring Confederate generals’ names to military bases. Find out if they think it’s “just a name.”

So, since you’ve claimed you addressed it and all you keep saying is, “it’s just a name,” is your contention that Mount McKinley and Fort Bragg are just names and those people of color shouldn’t get so uppity about them?

Yes, that is one way to show that you never actually read the post.

It’s assuming people would notice a landfill being dug up. Since, again, that isn’t legal to do.

You are ignoring it, because you won’t address what I said about Denali and forts named after Confederate generals.

You apparently didn’t even bother reading what I wrote.

There is an international maritime treaty that has taken a firm legal stance. Trump is defying it.

Did you really just call Taiwan a Chinese province?

Still ignoring what I wrote.

Ignoring my entire post is a choice, I’ll give you that.

And this is why it’s a problem: https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/17/brave_duckduckgo/

“Mount McKinley” is “just a name” for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is “just a name.”

Names have power and I’m amazed you don’t realize that.

No shit they didn’t. And they never have. Because it was called the Gulf of Mexico before Mexico as a nation existed. It was called that because it was named after the Valley of Mexico, which was part of New Spain at the time the Gulf was named. Mexico as a country didn’t exist until centuries later.

Maybe actually read the history of this before deciding this is about anyone other than Trump claiming ownership of that gulf.
