I’ve been in 3 different airports in the past 24 hours. This hits hard


I guarantee the routers your ISP wants you to rent from them will have that waiver.


I kept mine active but haven’t used it since Musk took over. I just changed my name and bio to my Mastodon account so people could find me. I used it for work and had a lot of people find my content through it, so I didn’t want to just kill it. I also didn’t want someone claiming my username because I use the same one on pretty much all of my work socials. It got to the point last week that I’d rather not be associated with the site, even if people know it’s just to point you to my Mastodon. Hitting that delete button felt good, but I wish I had done it back in 2022.


I really thought UMPCs would have taken off


Per the Microsoft KB for it, this only happens if Windows updates are installed before a user logs in for the first time. So basically re-images and especially VDI environments are at risk of this happening.


They do still have John Savill and Mark Russinovich but they are both focused on Azure. They really need someone like them on the Windows side.


I wouldn’t put it past these lawmakers to be investors in VPN companies, so they can make money off of these laws.
Seems like they were always behind on things like that. I had a friend that would come over to my house to update his TiVo because I still had a landline and it required a dial-up connection. This was in 2005, well after the decline of dial-up.
The song is actually a lot deeper than the chorus makes it seem. He actually trying to reason with the Nazi and say, “hey we’re both anti-authoritarian, you’re just a fucking idiot for thinking Nazism is the best way to go about it.”
Punk ain’t no religious cult
Punk means thinkin’ for yourself
You ain’t hardcore, 'cause you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head
This is saying you can’t just dress like a punk and be punk. Punk is an ethos not a uniform.
If you’ve come to fight, get outta here
You ain’t no better than the bouncers
Some people see punks and mosh pits and think punks are all violent. But that’s not the case, so don’t come around if you just want to fight.
We ain’t tryin’ to be police
When you ape the cops, it ain’t anarchy
But with that said, they aren’t trying to be the police. They want to dismantle control, not recreate it.
Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you’ve got real balls
This section is basically saying don’t take your anger and aggression out on people. It is the system that got you down, not the other people. Take your rage out on institutions of real power, unless you are too much of a pussy.
You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They’re coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth Reich, you’ll be the first to go
As you noted this is pretty straight forward, those you hold up actually hate you. Scary how accurate that still is today.
You’ll be the first to go, you’ll be the first to go
You’ll be the first to go, unless you think
Use your fucking brain, don’t be a Nazi.
This is all just my interpretation after listening to this song for 30+ years. I’m sure there are other ways of looking at it.
Sadly, it has been going on for pretty much as long as punk has been around, and it doesn’t really have a single contributing factor.
In the US 80s hardcore was made up mainly of white angry teens and young adults. Most weren’t racist but some were. And the low entry of musicianship needed to get into punk made it easy to start a band, so some Nazi bands started forming. The fans of these band thought they would be welcome at other punk shows, but were wrong. That’s why the Dead Kennedy’s wrote the song “Nazi Punk Fuck Off”.
In England skinheads have been around since the 60s but where not the racist skinheads you think of today. It was more of a working class subculture. Oi punk evolved from this subculture, so as fascist started adopting skinhead culture the music came with it. It also doesn’t help that some early punks would wear Nazi symbols to be provocative, even if they didn’t believe in the ideology.
Even in the 90s, when I was a teen and active in the local punk community Nazi’s would show up to a show every now and then. It always ended up with them getting drug outside and getting the shit kicked out of them. Even if they weren’t at the show if there was a sighting of Nazi’s nearby people would go running to kick the shit out of them. Yet, every few months it’s like they expected something else to happen when and would show up again.
My only thought on why this shit is still happening 30-40 years later, is that you have to be a fucking moron to be a Nazi, so it’s not like they would have the best judgement when it comes to where they are welcome.
