@glyph @dalias Yes. And even if some people do manage to circumvent the rule by making their violation of it impossible to detect, there is still value in the rule existing to aid handling of all the situations where this is not the case, and those skillful circumventors are still personally liable for any consequences of their own violation of the rule that emerge later simply because the rule exists.

"Some people might still avoid the rule" is not and has never been a sound reason to not have a rule. "Some people might get away with murder so we won't do anything about the people we actually saw commit murder and who are still stood there holding the smoking gun" makes clear how ridiculous a position it is.

They didn't get him again.

@ItsePerkele @janeishly @neil In Windows 10 it was still possible to set up a local account. On Windows 11 you can, but you might need to create one with a Microsoft Account first -- not 100% sure. But it is worth looking into whether you can. I *think* you can. The option is just not presented to you in a straightforward way in the setup dialogues.

My favorite recent Microsoft Windows discovery is that the full antivirus scan runs for about 8 hours at full CPU use. There's no option to pause, and the process cannot be deprioritized in the task manager. It basically makes the machine unusable for the duration of the time that it is running and once it has started there's nothing you can do about it.

My switch to a new operating system will not come a day too soon.

Also, I left the full scan running overnight — to, y'know, keep my conputer safe — and it was interrupted... by Windows Update.

@aredridel @dalias It's dying?

If you were in a place where you felt internet connectivity could be cut, by government or natural disaster etc., and you wanted to prepare in advance to maintain some kind of connectivity in that scenario, what would you do?

I was just looking at satellite internet services (other than Starlink). You need to buy a receiver, establish a line of sight to the right part of the sky, and pay a hefty monthly fee - when you'd only actually need it once every few years or less 🤔

Iran’s National Security Council has advised residents to leave Tehran, the Iranian capital - Al Jazeera

"Donald Trump has made an appeal and said to the police and to the Republican Guard to 'Lay down your weapons: if you don't, it's likely that you will die.' The problem he's got is that his message isn't getting much beyond the borders here in the United States—maybe even around the world but it's not getting into Iran. He cut back Voice of America, which had a big Farsi services—which would've broadcast the words of Donald Trump."

- Alan Fisher, Al Jazeera chief US correspondent, in Washington

"I can't, simply, keep track of the number of cities that are being attacked. It is getting to be a very long list now. ... All across the country you have cities ... that have been targeted. It seems to be that this is no longer just a campaign that is focused on nuclear sites in Iran. This is a very wide range of targets, including government facilities, defence ministry facilities and also the Iranian army and the Iranian national guard."

Apparently Netanyahu has some important elections coming up in a couple of months. 👀

By the way, now the biggest U.S. vessels are tied up within firing distance of Iran, who's defending the first island chain? Anyone know? 🤔

Listening to Netanyahu's latest speech. Same talking points as Trump earlier, about how the Iranian people are getting the support they've been asking for, how this is their rare opportunity to rally in the streets to overthrow their leaders and free themselves from tyranny. How the nations reported to have bombed a school today are "with them."

If anyone was still in any doubt about whether anyone was pouring fuel on the recent Iran protests, hopefully that's been cleared up for them today.

Marked shift in the tone of Al Jazeera coverage now the U.S. is awake.

This is part of the problem.
