Weird drama over nothing tbh

Communities are free to federate with whoever they want;

Consenting adults can do whatever they want.

Now give me a medal

This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries

Yeah being unable to open… checks notes local news websites from the US has been a real deal breaker

That’s part of the process. As we find out more fossils and new evidence, we understand a bit better how these animals worked and looked like.

This is not the link I was looking for but it also shows some revisions we did throughout the years:

Communism entails the collective ownership and administration of all means of production and the absence of social classes, while socialism advocates for worker control over means of production within a democratic society, allowing for some individual ownership and social stratification.

My chips are also on them coming back, but at the same time it feels like Musk wants to make Twitter's business harder than it needs to be.

This reaction doesn't come from the last tweet itself, instead it comes from him not stopping with hot takes and not showing any signs of slowing down.

If he keeps going, I could see companies just accepting "it is what it is" and coming back, but at the same time it also feels like he's one tweet away from going too far for most companies. And it's not like Twitter is a strong social media anyway, they are not even in the top 10 social medias in terms of active users count: https://www.statista.com/...

Maybe these companies may also decide that dealing with Twitter is more trouble than it's worth. But we'll see

Unfortunately they are, if enough justification exists. In WW2, both the Allies and Axis would bombard cities with civilians if those had any strategic value (military industries, disruption of logistics, sometimes because soldiers were inside the houses, etc).

Other times, it was to try out hypothesis. Germany started to bombard London to see if the population would become demoralised and demand the government to capitulate. The US sent the infamous Hiroshima and Nagasaki Nuclear Bombs, because they believed the japanese military would not capitulate through conventional means (I recommend reading more about the pacific war if you're interested, but the bottom line here is that most japanese soldiers were expected to fight to the death, and the US could not treat them like a western power. The nuclear bombs were a bet that they could avoid having to invade Japan itself)

And to be honest things didn't change that much since then. There might be more awareness of how awful it is, some countries might need better justifications than others before targeting cities, but they do it. The US did it in the middle east, Russia too, etc.

From my average joe point of view, this attack didn't target anything with strategic value, but the attack itself is a message that Ukraine can reach Moscow.

They usually skip the morality and jump straight to the whataboutism. They know that the thing is bad and won’t argue that, but they will try to sweep it under the rug and change the narrative to US doing something bad too.

At the end of the day they’re like kids in a playground justifying that they can do something bad because someone else did it too.

Oh and I can tell that someone will misinterpret my comment and think I’m downplaying the sh*t that the US did

It's not really worth it to make different devices for different regions, that's why all iphones 15 will have USB-C.

And tbh I don't really buy the idea of devices being more modular = uglier. Framework laptops are a great example of how you can have a slick device and still be able to open it up and swap hardware easily. Without having everything glued and/or held with proprietary screws.

I read the fate stay night visual novel like 15 years ago or so, and then the fate zero anime.

I have no clue what is going on with the series nowadays

As a piece of software, nothing. It’s an open source browser, and has an added bonus of having many privacy settings on by default. Not even firefox can say the same, it comes with telemetry, pocket and whatnot out of the box.

But there are some fair criticisms about the company and its administration. For example, there was an incident years ago when you signed on a crypto exchange, it would swap the sign on link for their own referral link. They claimed this was an error and quickly patched it, but I don’t buy it.

You’ll quickly notice that a lot of people on lemmy passionately hate brave. So expect a strong bias and, as a result, truths but overblown, half truths and misinformation. Don’t ignore what they say but double check them.

It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop's brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.

Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.
