No, the Graphene developers insist on hardware functionality that is not present on the Fairphone.

The company I worked for (late stage startup) was bought by a giant mega corp, which has an office nearby. Literally my first month there and they announced a return to office policy.

I’m not suggesting doing nothing. But getting rid of American bases on European soil will make Europe more vulnerable to US attacks, not more.

The US military bases are actually filled with thousands of soldiers that will be imprisoned if the US invades. If we see a large pullout from European bases then we know shit is about to go down.

Only the what post?

Russia was the second strongest military in the world when they invaded Ukraine, weren’t they?

Franco’s regime in Spain lasted decades. Actually so did the fascists in Italy…

That’s literally how The Handmaid’s Tale history went.

“quick” like within a couple of days? I think we were all watching tanks roll towards Kiev and amazed that Russia didn’t have air superiority yet.

Proper accounting would consider the costs of retraining against the existing vendor. After all, that’s vendor lock-in, which your vendor will use to raise prices…

That sounds kind of good, really. Of course, more profits are always better, but breaking even is awesome.

The average number of children per woman is more for wealthy families than for poor ones.

My first experience with people playing stuff on speaker was on a train from Beijing to Xi’an. I kept looking around to see who would ask the woman to please silence her show, but it never happened…

The plebs don’t have anything they could invest.

Thanks for the offer! But I’ve been running Linux only since 2002 or so, currently with Arch on my laptop, because I’m not yet brave enough to try Nyx. 😄

I just installed Linux Mint on my dad’s old laptop. He asked me to do it!

I checked and it could run Windows 11 with a RAM upgrade. But he wasn’t interested in that.

He was surprised at all of the software installed by default. And mostly just uses the browser to read his Outlook mail…

Yeah, they caught the Dread Pirate Roberts because he leaked some account name, IIRC. There is no such thing as perfect opsec. 😬

I mean, Austria is still an independent country… 🤔

I think they meant the current deal, which basically forced Ukraine to disarm, which would ensure they are conquered in a few years.

I find this trend to disregard every action as “not enough to matter” to be tiring.

Unless such a reply contains specific actions to take in place of what is reported, then I basically consider them propaganda for the existing powers to encourage further inaction.
