Patriot isn’t limited to missile interception.

They said, while Russia is literally in the middle of doing the sort of invasion NATO is warning against.

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.

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.

Dunno what to tell ya bruh 🤷 I was in high school civics telling them it was fuckin dumb and on Warcraft 3 forums doing the same. The fact that it was so stupid and the republicans disavowed it make everyone pretend they were always against it.

Now what’s your stance on PRC authoritarianism against ethnic and religious minorities?

This is still “butt butt-“

No. The sins of another country do not make another’s okay. You call it out. We call out the US all the time, and it deserves it. And so does China.

Germany owned their shit.

Arguing against that stupid invasion. Fucking obviously. What are you doing other than making excuses?

I guess the Nazi camps were fine because they’re closed now?

And I guess “because terrorism” is a good excuse now? I mean, the US has done all kinds of fucked up shit that’s okay by that reasoning. If we had put all Saudis in reeducation camps after 9/11, you would (rightly!) call us fascists, and I’d be on your side!

Edit: that’s not even the “entire Muslim world”, and you know better than to use the boot of governments as a representation of the people.

You’re right. It’s a good thing I’m not trying to explicitly deflect from my country’s sin by complaining about China letting people burn books!

Own your shit. When a nation does bad shit, call it out. Even if they’re in your “camp”. Don’t pull this “yeah but-“ fuck fuck games. This post is saying “well it’s okay that China put Muslims in camps because the West allows book burning.” Fuck off with that.
