violating sanctions is a victimless crime. the crime is the theft of taxes on trade within the country (to fund violence), or if you trade directly with the government of the evil country, and fund them.

doing business with someone (not in government) in a country subject to sanctions is morally just. so is teaching in a sanctioned country.

what happened to virgil griffith is absolutely shameful. he is in jail for teaching.

@PeterSanchez murder is a violation of human rights of others. many many many laws exist which prohibit things that harm no one and have no victim, and are simply tyrannical control. you are using false equivalence. many laws are inherently unjust and may be broken without moral issue. many laws (such as the prohibition on murder, which you cite) are just and murdering people is also immoral.

you're intentionally conflating just laws and unjust laws for the sake of argument.

@PeterSanchez literally no one is harmed by breaking sanctions; the laws prohibiting trade to sanctioned countries are victimless and without justification. they're simply the state claiming sovereignty and treating you like chattel.

anyone with experiences with the asus rog strix xg438q 43" 4k 120hz display? it's like $900 and seems pretty good on paper, thinking about using it as the main/central of my 3 displays on my main/fastest battlestation, so quality is critical.

wondering if i should get a 43" 4k in the middle of my battlestation H instead of this 27" (the imac pro with integrated 27" 5k is going away, side displays are staying) or if that is too big?

i have a 32" 4k at my office now and i love it.

@PeterSanchez using laws as moral justification is thus invalid

@PeterSanchez not all laws are just

@m0xee doesnt matter what is being taught or to whom. he was jailed for teaching.

@m0xee what is wrong with it? he was jailed for teaching.

The USA will throw you in jail for speaking at conferences in countries they don't want you speaking in.

i'd really like to be able to install the creative cloud without root.

this might be the main thing that forces me off of LRC to something worse

@solidsanek nope

current monterey 12.3.1 breaks the current gpg/scdaemon/whatever in nixpkgs with an "gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Operation not supported by device".

this sucks bad because this is the only way i can authenticate to anything via ssh.

@solidsanek i have 8 phones

@Spooge mcdonalds has amazing fries, and the big-n-tasty is one of the best fast food borgar. starbucks blonde roast espresso is surprisingly not-terrible for being so widely available. there's no other reliably five-out-of-ten espresso so widely available in most of the world.

never read burroughs. reading burroughs. why did nobody tell me sooner
