How is she a "cop" if she was a prosecutor? They're not even in the same branch of government. Police is executive branch, a prosecutor is judicial branch.

liberalism is right-wing

Liberalism has several meanings, it depends on the context whether it's right or left leaning.

Typically, in Europe, the traditional right leaning parties would call themselves "liberal". Their philosophy is classic liberalism, which places an emphasis on economic freedoms, like a free market, limited government, laissez-faire policies,... It is basically the equivalent of what they call "libertarianism" in the US.

When conservatives in the US call people "damn libruls", they are usually referring to people with a philosophy of social liberalism, which places an emphasis on social justice, political freedoms, civil rights, individual autonomy, ... and other progressive themes. This is the left leaning version of liberalism. Tankies are also against this because individual and political freedoms are the opposite of the authoritarian philosophy they stand for.

Sounds like it could be something like hardware video decoding messing up the state of your GPU, which then crashes plasma.

You could try to switch your video player to software decoding, and see if that makes the issue go away. It's less efficient but a 3700x should be able to handle any video you throw at it.

When they are actively censoring and banning people who make critical comments about the PRC, the USSR, or even present day Russia, I don't care where they come from.

I was banned from lemmy.ml myself for saying something about the Tiananmen Square massacre.

That's a no true Scotsman argument.

There are plenty of actual tankies here. In fact, the Lemmy software is created by tankies and one of the larger Lemmy instances is run by them.

Their nick is the Dutch word for left lane, so I would assume they are Dutch.

Yup, but that's already mentioned in the article. Thought I'd give people the exact userpref, so they can modify their custom user.js if they have one.

To disable:

user_pref("dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled", false);

I just booted up a Windows 2000 VM to check ... it's there in the disk management tool. It looks a bit weird with the drive icon in Explorer, but ok.
