Have I got some news for you,

Im Australian aboriginal and grew up in Northern Australia.

Our uncles used to call us little niggers when we were young.

When they were kids just after we were recognised as Australians and allowed to vote people would refer to them as niggers too

Ironically no one cares about the word the way Americans do

It also means Brown in French

Furthermore here’s a Monash university excerpt with a link to the whole thing for your consideration

“case was brought by an Aboriginal man in relation to the name of a spectators stand at his local football ground -the ‘ES “Nigger” Brown Stand’. This name was displayed prominently on the stand and in addition was used in frequent announcements during football matches at the ground. The decision records that the stand had been named (in 1960) after a local football identity, ES Brown, who during his childhood in the early 1900s acquired the nickname ‘Nigger’. The decision also records that ES Brown was of Anglo-Saxon descent. In the view of the applicant, the word ‘nigger’ always carries a culturally racist meaning and there are no contexts in which it has a neutral or nonderogatory meaning.58 In this case, the respondent led evidence from other Aboriginal people to the effect that they were not offended by the name of the sports stand. The Federal Court judge hearing this case determined that the use of the word ‘nigger’ in this context did not have any racist connotation or message.59 After articulating that s 18C called for an objective test, the judge determined that the use of ‘nigger’ here was not ‘reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate an indigenous Australian or indigenous Australians generally."jO Graycar’s work prompts us to ask how the judge formed this (objective) knowledge, particularly in the context of the conflicting opinions expressed by the complainant and Indigenous people called by the re_pondent.’ By what processes and mechanisms did the adjudicator here come to this understanding of the (reasonable) Indigenous response to the use of the word ‘nigger’ in this context” https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/MonashULawRw/2004/2.pdf

I have a Windows 11 work laptop, I might try it out and see what happens

No idea, it’s meant to be bootable

I think my laptop is from 2018 so is getting old. It’s an asus predator gaming laptop

Are you saying the performance hit is from running off an encrypted drive?

Physical access wouldn’t seem so hard. Say you worked at the company company and wanted to get the files your boss has on your evaluation or something. Wait till they’re on lunch, plug in a usb and pull them up.

I imagine patient records wouldn’t be encrypted either

Absolutely it’s crazy that it’s so simple that you can do it in the space of 5v minutes.

I think it just really goes to show you can’t hide anything on a computer physically.

I also feel this is something that should be taught in school (maybe it is i finished school over 13 years ago)

I always knew there were ways to recover files off of hard drives. I just assumed they needed to be physically remounted not just plug in a usb and off you go

I live in Northern Australia in the capital of the Territory and have fiber to my premises, best o can get is 20mbs download.

I hate the Australian government for what they did rolling out our National Broadband Network

Yeah that’s one thing I miss about the game, not having destructible environments. I understand why though the matches go for an hour and a half fighting back and forth there would be nothing left on the map

Hell Let Lose is a WW2 simulator game,

You can play it like cod and run around but all that gets you is killed by some guy who’s creeping a corner or whatever.

It’s best played slow and tactically following orders from your squad leader who gets orders from the match commander.

One or two bullets will kill you and half the time if you’re not being careful you won’t know what happened to you.

Then the slow pace is suddenly juxtaposed by a fierce fire fight defending your location while tanks shell you and artillery rains down.

Today’s wordle answer killed me

Weird that it asks for your email before you can test your password

/s

I have long arms and am kinda hairy.

People say I look like a chimp but I guess maybe I am a chimp

Great game foxhole, but unfortunately I feel like I need friends to play with or i get bored

Yeah, I’m in the planning stage of buying a new personal desktop that I’m going to run Linux on from the get go, I’m just tired of Windows.

Once I’m a little more financial I’m going to pull the trigger and build my next gaming pc

Bloody got a new Windows 11 lenovo something today. It’s so slow to just open settings up.

Yeah, mine lives 1200kms away in the middle of no where. So we try catch up playing games together but something always seems to come up on our planned days. Work etc

Yeah, I can’t even get together with my brother to play enshrouded.

I like my shootemup games personally
