Because Iran is targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz it brings the global price of oil up and drives demand for Russian oil. Yes, Russia supports Iran, but this war is a win for Russian interests.

Yes.

No thank you.

It’s Clippy all over again, but with the AI slop it’s now named Drippy.

Spain is in the EU. How difficult would it be for a Spanish exporter to open a field office in Germany and export from there?

This is idiotic.

Pick your poison. Want cheap? Be tracked. Want privacy? Pay the price.

Yes. Controlling telemetry data transmission is why I run GrapheneOS.

Pixels have hardware documentation and are directly supported by Android, making them possible for the GrapheneOS dev community to support. Good luck doing that on a Samsung.

Motorola is doing good here. Also, buy a used Pixel 8, you’ll have almost three years of support left.

You’re antifa if you run Linux anyway.

Just tell Elmo to add bigger CPU and GPU fans. That’ll work.

I know a lot of people who use WhatsApp and I need it in a container for use on occasion. But fuck Microsoft and all the other tech companies colluding in thr or global cartel.

Fediverse and Linux stands still and yet gets better and better by comparison.

What branch of government has war powers authority, according to the US Constitution?

You really think SCOTUS would have given Biden a fair shot? After blocking Biden’s student loan forgiveness EOs but giving Trump near full immunity. It’s clear they would have skewered Biden first chance. Hell, House Republicans brought in Hillary for private Epstein testimony, leaked it against the rules they’d agreed to, then proceeded to ask her about UFOs and Pizzagate. There is no symmetry to their rule making and rule breaking.

This is the circumstance you decry Biden for not extrajudicially murdering his fascist opponents when he supposedly had the chance.

No. You need to read that SCOTUS decision. The Supreme Court retained the authority to decide which actions are official acts due immunity and which are not. Therefore, had Biden attempted to use that immunity in the way you suggest, this biased SCOTUS would simply have ruled his actions unofficial and therefore not immune from prosecution.

Europe and Asia are fine alternative trading partners. Buy the Grippen and dump the F-35. Just for starters. And work out a deal with China for EVs. Just please protect our privacy from prying Chinese eyes.

Orban is about to get his ass handed to him in national elections. Creating a foreign policy crisis is his way of trying to stay in power. We’ve seen this with Netanyahu and Trump too. It’s a distraction play.

Nothing weird. Create panels, application launchers, add spacers, etc.

“You’ve never made it past grade kindergarten but you dream of becoming a world class theoretical physicist? Let me help you with that, I’m sure you can do it!”

I want to be there when you set that up on the table at your next departmental meeting.

The GOP has lost all moral authority.
