Can we have a decent return to normalcy?
I hate all these new summer /pol/ friends invading this board calling everything a kike shill or a botnet. The reason nobody likes /pol/ is for the paranoia and annoying politicizing of quite literally everything.
Technology in general should be non-partisan. If you want to call something against free speech then call it oppressive and warn that with its use comes a compromise. Don't call Google a bunch of Jews just because a lot of people are comfortable with giving their information to them. Some people trust conglomerates like this. Some of them don't. Personally I'm a huge advocate of free software since the early 2000's and a practicing activist against censorship anywhere it appears. Let's not ruin a legitimate issue with naive name-calling and paranoia. Nobody takes /pol/ seriously for a reason.
Also mods, I know this isn't entirely on topic but it's a serious meta issue on this board as of late. If you prefer me to e-mail one of you to try to convince you to take a more rigorous form of action against these shitposters.

Mods need to enforce their global rules now. 4chan is now a mainstream media. If the blatant racism is not removed (which is against 4chans CoC), this site could be taken down.

Researchers disable Intel Management Engine via undocumented function

Is this guy better than Ballmer?
>>62151688
no, he is just product of the "new" politic image of the company
>>62151688
At least his not a fat bald jew, he's a thin bald indian
>>62151688
Yes he is. Microsoft have been nothing but a fucking dream after Ballmer. They have done so much for the community, they are trying new things and succeeding at it.
Why do people recommend beginners to stay away from IDEs? Isn't it kinda convenient when you can run your script without leaving your working environment? Saving a file after editing it and running and interpreter separately gets old real fast.
>>62151682
WHAT ARE IDEs
>>62151682
Idk, teaches beginners bad habits maybe. I really like IDLE and I wish I could use it for everything, but I'm stuck with Emacs so what do I know?
Because you don't know why things are happening, the IDE does all the heavy lifting and you're left helpless and useless without your crutch

What is that zotac doing on the ceiling?
1. What do you use?
2. What is a good free AV that protects novice users from possible threats and requires no interaction with it?
My restore image is my antivirus
>>62151277
Kaspersky
I download from trusted repositories, use noscript when browsing strange websites, and keep my network ports closed when not in use
Oh and I don't use wangblows

After coming onto /g/ ive decided that i want to try oht linux BUT, i dont want to fully get rid of windows FOR NOW.
Im planing on Arch or Ubuntu dual boot with windows, anything i should keep in mind with dual boot
>inb4 install gentoo
>>62150944
Make sure you have a partition free for the installation, otherwise you might accidentally overwrite windows. Also, stick with ubuntu or linux mint for now. Learn to crawl first before you walk.
>>62151084
I've used Kali before, but I need something to use as kind of a main system, can you brief me about DEs?
>>62150944
Ubuntu should make partitioning easier than Arch.

freedom is more important than money
>>62151214
These days you need money to buy your freedom. With $1M you could go innawoods or somewhere similar and be totally self sufficient and rely on no botnets.

Did you even read it?

>A few months later, a beautiful and clever but rather too forceful woman asked me to be her lover. I had some doubts but wouldn't reject the idea out of hand. So she spent the night with me.
I'm not sure if he is severely autistic, a player or both.
>>62150769
He met her in 1995.
>>62150782
>We did not become lovers. I didn't fancy her, and she didn't want sex outside marriage. We were fascinated with each other without sex. So I thought of her as my childhood sweetheart, the idea being you're never too old to have one.
He didn't mean it in the literal sense of the word.

Here's the changelog for the lazy goys:

>everything is turning into a subscription (music, photoshop, 1password, other apps)
>you will never "own" anything
Where did it all go so wrong?
>>62150131
You should read das Kapital. It's explained in that book.
>>62150131
Truth is you don't really need to own them, the real problems are:
- the price that adds up over time and it will be bigger than a one-time payment
- it needs a verifiable subscription and an internet connection
- it will be harder to get stuff for "free".
