Kajit has Mary Kay.

Si. We’re about to see how the iron dome stands against it. Maybe Iran has figured out a way to bypass Israeli defences…

I.e being more reliant upon Google Play services so you’ll have to accept their predatory EULA.

Now if they released a new driver update system independent of Google Play, that would be better.

Funny how a bunch of non-governmental institutions uphold colonialism and anyone who wants to partake has to play ball… it’s like as if there’s an empire, an empire with flags from China, workers from Mexico and intellectual property made by Indians… but I can’t quite put my hamburger on it…

That’s pretty one sided though. It’s like saying the autocrats don’t burn an insane amount of fuel, thereby also exacerbating the issue. If they were all using solar panels, scaling down their fossil fuel industries and actually gave a damn about the environment, then we’d be in agreement.

Oh there will be climate refugees, no doubt about it. But whitewashing the autocrats use of petroleum and using it to justify breaking a system meant to moderate something makes me think you’re the left wing equivalent of republicans.

You do not game systems, you reform them, or even replace them… so pass laws that put embargos and sanctions on imported petroleum instead.

Good luck with that.

We should make a system dependant upon culpability. If France helps in the downfall of some country, causing a migrant crisis in the process, then their quota for asylum seekers should go up to accommodate their stupid geopolitical tomfoolery.

It’s a geo-political “put your money where you mouth is” kind of system.

I’m assuming this may be a Flatpak issue. Have you turned on fractional scaling?

Tig bitties? One-fiddie.

Think of those poor data brokers… I mean “poor” in the figurative sense…

Mirror universe Thunberg, looking like Palpatine: “How dare you!”

Two opposed sci fi franchises, coupled with - I wanna say - a 2016… 2018 meme? That’s what I call a brainrot hat trick.

No, it’s their latest daughter company tasked with getting rid of all the crap they have in stock.

They’re called Dropship Martin.

“Oh no, real competiton, in green energy no less!”

Bitch, are you for real?

I was larping as someone from that time… like a lord or a house rep. Y’know, some two-faced politicians with double-morals.

Sir Lordington The 3rd, of the royals, twice removed, thrice inbred: “omg that’s disgusting… is there anywhere I can witness this depravity? Preferably from the safety of a closet- I mean, for moral purposes - of course.”

EDIT: added character name and quotes for clarity.

When Burly Bob becomes Joyful Janice.

Living in a building does not exclude this possibility, but you do get a lot of complaints from the home owners association.

It’s all “that’s not a regulation window”, “stop scaring the kids”, “that home made horse head is creepy” and “don’t put horse-curses on passersby”.

And I say neigh, Henry. A neigh on you and your children’s children, may they never be able to gallop.

Can you tell it’s the 2024 election season? What’s that mean? Two things:

1. Kiss boys
2. Blow up infrastructure

/s

I’d have to say neigh.

Dear sir, “backing” is doing a lot of legwork for compliance. It would be silly to acknowledge US imperialism and ignore China’s Belt and road imperialism. We know the playbook, it’s been done. Soft power above hard power, and so it goes. The only difference is those manufactured islands that are designed to expand China’s landmass, which is at the very least original.

I wonder what you think about the Chinese concept of the “central kingdom”… not the “middle kingdom”, which is a dishonest translation, but the murmurs made by Chinese officials and party members everytime they dream or usurping US imperialism to become new the imperial force.

As a European, both can get fucked. No lie, I don’t want any unsanctioned police station in my country. If I find out that’s actually a thing, there’s a couple of molotov cocktails with the Chinese embassy’s name on it, because not even the yanks go that far.

Yeah, I think the milk tea alliance would disagree with you. Don’t conflate overwhelmed compliance with neutral coexistence. That’s just rhetorically dishonest.
