> but if you must then the correct way to do it is to say what his views are

I did. Read the end of the sentence you quoted. It's a snapshot of his hateful views. There is, however, breadth and depth to his hate. Which is I directed you a few good keywords to search his own words in context to get a taste.

I'd say take my word for it and don't waste your time. But it's your time, bud.

I'd say read some history on effective non-carceral and non-violent ways to deal with hateful people: shunning and shaming is the best option. It lets hateful people live their lives in a bubble if that's what they want. But also gives them a chance to address their abhorrent views, make amends, and become part of a large community again.

But you have to understand history to know that.

I disagree. Someone with these views on humanity should not have a platform. They should be shamed and shunned. They should not be an "influencer" (however minor).

Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew out of it mostly unscathed. He's a grown-ass man that still believes these truly heinous things. He has not grown as person. Or addressed his ignorance. And he's never retracted or apologized for his hateful views.

Which... it's his right. He can be an asshole. But people should be informed and, like I said, he should be shunned and shamed.

>> "Hard to justify going to the trouble of encrypting your backup."

Huh? If you're "encrypting" using SHA, I've got some bad news about those backups of yours.

It exists. Pick up a device that support ARM64 Windows 10 and it has compatibility with x86 programs (via an emulation layer like WoW64).

This announcement is for Firefox for ARM64 Windows 10 (without using the emulation layer). So, faster, uses less battery, etc.
