The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.

Can I sue the IRS and withhold my taxes until they can provide an option where my money does not go to this warmongering bullshit. And not lip service, audited by someone outside the government and untouchable pool of money that Congress can't divert. Only to be used for the things we actually want.

I agree. My point is violence begets violence.

Imagine if we put the time/money/resources into creating a better world for all instead of killing each other.

Imagine there's no religion.

Yea was here for that. Guy I went to HS with, was on duty that night and joined the chase. Didn't fire any shots but was on scene at the time it happened.

He testified truthfully during the trial, and wouldn't you know he had to throw away a 10+ year career because after that all the other cops hated and harassed him.

During that murder, one of the cops jumped up on the hood off the car after it was stopped and unloaded his entire magazine down straight into the people inside.

Protect and serve my ass. And of course heaven forbid if we ever hold law enforcement accountable.

Ya I agree, there was a time where Satya had a fresh outlook and instilled hope.

Now he cannot take criticism about their AI offerings and they are forcing it into everything.

Boggles my mind that Notepad has a Copilot button. Truly tone deaf.

Sad about .NET (thelemmy.club)

These last ten years I was really enjoying what Microsoft and its .NET teams were doing. Felt like a good community to be a part of. Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.

While that hasn't necessarily gone away, jamming LLM's into everything is leaving a real sour taste. Pointless copilot button anywhere and everywhere. VS and VSCode pushing the GitHub copilot chats and agents.

We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn't listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.
