Depends on where you live. Rural areas often don’t get free trash pickup.

Apple hit a sweet spot with this. x86_64 applications run at acceptable speed (making the transition easy for people who buy the hardware) while not being SO good that there’s zero reason for developers to start porting their software.

Centralized communities all turn into what Twitter and Reddit became eventually. They benefits for the owners (money, control) are too great to ignore forever once you’re big enough. Decentralized communities have more resilience, provided no individual server gets too big.

Podcasts seem to have figured out monetizing without centralization.

lmao okay dude. That’s a lot of projection.

It may surprise you to know that in a thread where I advocate for the US giving Ukraine cluster munitions, that I don’t care that Ukraine has been using cluster munitions.

As stated by another, your Pentagon source is out of date. It’s pretty funny though that you reject HRW saying Russia is using them, but use HRW as your source that Ukraine is.

WRT chemical weapons: different things are different. When you can contain things in an AOR, I’m less concerned about the lingering effects. Areas can be closed off and cleared, especially when you’re the one that dropped them. That’s way less possible with chemical weapons, that will literally drift with the wind.

2. Chemical weapons: no, due to their effects easily leaving the AOR. Petal mines: yes. Crimea and the Donbas are occupied Ukrainian territory.

Truth hurts.

1. Russia is already using them

2. I’ll defer to the defenders WRT what weapons they need.

Buddy, lots of us had outrage when the US invaded Iraq. You just can’t handle when the conversation shifts from it for 5 minutes because an even worse thing is happening.

Yep, and that’s a good thing.

“But Iraq!” is literally all these people have. As if two things can’t be bad at the same time.

Why should spez care? If people never leave and keep using the platform, why should he change his actions at all? Users can bitch and moan as much as they like, but they’re doing it using his app and seeing his ads. Even if the entire site turns into nothing but “fuck spez” posts, that doesn’t matter as long as those posts are being made and read.

apt dist-upgrade will sometimes resolve this.

Yes, but it’s a bit weird and the interface isn’t designed for it. I keep them separate, but I could see it being useful in a pinch.

This is still engagement and engagement drives value. Spez wins, unless you leave.

God forbid you try to look good for your wife 🤷

IINA is like VLC but with a nicer interface.

brew is a CLI package manager.

OpenEmu is a great console emulation platform (like retroarch, but with a way better interface that’s designed for a desktop instead of a TV).

If you’re running Safari, you’re already running their OS. If Apple wants to spy on you, they’ve already got the means to do so, so you’ve already decided to trust them.

Switching to Chrome or Firefox means trusting one more entity in addition to Apple. This expands your possible exposure.

Point at where I said genocide. I didn’t use that word here because I know it’s contested in this case and I know it has a definition that I’m not interested in degrading. You said that word.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with my point. My point is that if a country is doing $thing, pointing at $otherthing means nothing. You’re deflecting.

Do US people deflect by pointing at China? Yep. Our guys totally deflect when they want to distract from shit. But this post brought it up, so own it.
