If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Your civil state laws are still intact depending on the state, but a lot of this is the logical extremist conclusion of the patriot act and qualified immunity precedence, which is to say police have been elevated to a degree higher than that of a citizen with less responsibility than a citizen at the same time. Lazy politicians love the executive and we’ve had nothing but lazy majority politicians for a long time. It will not be easy to purge everyone that needs to go in order to fix this shitpile.

    To more directly answer your question: Your rights depend on your actions and the system makes it very hard for you and very easy for them to create a situation that benefits you. You technically have a lot of rights, but if used would result in death with little accountability because court survivor bias. The answer mostly is to make sure you survive while asserting your rights on video, then follow up in court to take a chunk of their massive budget for stuff like this. You will likely win only if you do everything right and have video and audio evidence of doing so.










  • Part of maturing, as someone who insists on solutions when confronted with complaints from others, is acknowledging that those complaints aren’t necessarily put out there to be solved. Sometimes they just want to let you know they’re unhappy to lower the expectations of them for a while or to vent. If all they want is to be left alone or vent, insisting on solutions is akin to criticism when they need it the least.




  • To the biggest degree it’s comfort elsewhere and numbers attracting numbers. To a smaller but still substantial degree it’s the same reason the top 3 phone brands have less customization and a more plug and play experience than rooted phones. It solves a huge amount of the problems with Reddit, but reddit is simpler to join, simpler to understand, feels more secure, and has so many communities and active users that even inactive communities can look active by how many people mistakenly post there.


  • Micron and Samsung have been accused of colluding in addition to utilizing the South Korean government as a bit of a puppet in their price wars. Now micron has formally announced they’re exiting the consumer market. They say that this will affect crucial, but obvious many 3rd parties use Micron as well. I think the odds of this announcement coming as a shock to either SK Hynix or Samsung is zero and most likely they are dividing their interests to help each other avoid competition to lower the price hikes they’ve fought for through years of stubborn supply “shortages”

    It’s also possible that Micron and Samsung are colluding against SK Hynix, since that has been the defacto leader for DDR5


  • Depends on the OS. They can be chopped down by removing windows aero / transparency features among some other memory hogs, plus if it has an nvme or sata SSD then virtual memory can do some fast enough heavy lifting. That being said, I think the last OS Microsoft made that could run functionally on 4gb without significant virtual memory useage is Windows 8 and I wouldn’t wish that experience on you, nor recommend it for security reasons. If you use Linux you probably won’t need to upgrade for a long while with that easy workload.

    My pi 5 acts like a normal decent computer on Linux builds but windows would crunch it.

    Edit just to say that the main task you need to worry about is likely decoding. If whatever APU or GPU you have doesn’t have a built in ASIC for modern hvec then I could see it lagging significantly regardless of OS and memory size. You also mentioned browsing, which means I wouldn’t recommend staying with the last MacOS you can get for security concerns. Linux seems like the obvious choice.
