But can they neuter it to make it near useless without a Microsoft account tagging along?

Another article speaks about Windows 11 requiring a Microsoft account to install it, no longer supporting local accounts.

The extra extra fun part is to then offer you the opportunity to pay for bigger storage!

This how you realize that there are people around that just want to blow shit up.

It is also a common method used to incite violence at peaceful protests in order to disperse them. This is seen as such more clearly when the individuals apprehended are not the ones causing violence and instead are part of what seems to be the leadership of said protests.

If I’m reading this right, the groups themselves were peaceful, but individuals which may have been just anti-Israel instead of pro-Palestine or outside agitators taking advantage of the situation stirred things up towards violence. The administration was ineffective in identifying these individuals or maintaining the overall peace, so instead members of the peaceful groups were arrested in order to shut the whole thing down.

So from this perspective, i can see why you would say that.

Hi, just dropping by reading the comments. I believe Jewish students were a part of the protesters so you can’t really go that route without adding a conditional on which Jewish students were in danger.

There’s no doubt bad faith actors are using it for their own purposes and their intended target is the latter kind of person. The lack of self awareness is in my opinion quite common. There’s simply too much to deal with for the average individual on a daily basis to allow ourselves a type of introspection that can clarify who we are and how we act. We are vulnerable to catchy phrases as it is simply too exhausting to analyze every bit of information coming our way, so we accept shallow definitions, we accept a path of superficial righteousness and we accept the paper thin sweetness thrown our way. Only to have it all crumble at a deeper look, taste or thought and leave us helpless.

People are dumb. Intelligence is an exercise. And we have to specialize if we want to achieve something. That means we have flaws to be exploited. And they very much are, in every way.

So I try not to blame the lack of self awareness. Because we all experience it in different ways, of different things. Not knowing is okay. But how many of us can accept that about ourselves or about others? Not many, else the world would be a happier place.

Can’t say I know how. My own limited understanding prevents me from acquiring a verbal lingo that gets a point across entirely.

Sometimes I read replies to my own comments and just stare at them just asking myself “What?”. And the longer the conversation, the easier i lose the original thread and just go off-track, probably confusing the other side even further. Even when writing a longer comment, I just jump from thought to thought. So at times, the first sentence and the last end up being in different dimensions, which may come across as jarring to a reader. Can’t say I’ve managed to fix that over the years.

Well, that is true. It would seem that each use is subjective to an individual’s own opinion on whether the replacement or the focus is in line with their view of things.

Maybe. But I wrote it because understanding is a rare commodity and someone would’ve asked. Someone usually does.

Maybe they disagree with it or maybe they disagree with the word having one at all. Doesn’t really matter, it’s just casual chatter.

I believe that some of them wholeheartedly do. How many actually do so and how many just use it as an excuse, I can’t tell.

No you do not. My conclusion in that regard is that those using the word in that context do so with that meaning in mind.

My personal opinion on racism wasn’t expressed in the reply.

The word is thrown around a lot and most people do use it as they want, but from my observations of the online medium, “woke” is usually used for companies that insincerely pander to minorities with a token act of ‘kindness’ that also has discriminatory undertones.

The most common example I’ve seen to have the word used is for comic book live action adaptations or remakes in which a red-haired character otherwise known as a ginger is replaced by a black actor. The ‘woke’ meaning here is companies being intentionally racist in their malicious compliance to add minorities as a quota with the unsaid, yet implied wordplay.

For those who don’t get it, ‘Ginger’ -> ‘N…’

Edit: Of course, for some people, any race replacement for any character is ‘woke’. Also, now that I think about it, most recent movies and animations with women as leading characters get called ‘woke’ as well, often compared to Ripley or Connor from Alien and Terminator movies.

So yeah, in a sort of sense, ‘woke’ would probably be akin to saying ‘insincere pandering’, or that’s how it’s meant to be portrayed?
