The aim is to prevent as many images and news as possible from reaching the public, which is why the Iranian government is blocking communication network.
No. The aim is to prevent cyber attacks and coordinated sabotage by drone warfare, like Israel used in June in the first hours of their attack, and like the US did when they kidnapped Maduro.
Do you use the built-in tool for remapping keys in KDEs system-settings, or something else?
These stories often hit me with a pang of pity at first. Poor, dumb, moronic idiots, I just want to hug them and pat them on the head like the snotnosed children they are.
But as you pointed out, they were roped in to this with promises of cruelty toward others. It’s hard to muster up empathy for that.
Yeah Russia produces lots of blades, for Gillette too btw.
I actually tend to buy blades when I’m in the Middle East or India straight from a barber shop, but I’ve also bought from Gents.com on occasion. Looks like they do ship to Canada.
What blade is best for you depends on your skin and hair type. Feather (Japan) makes insanely sharp premium blades that dull quickly, they are loved by lots of people. Solingen (Germany) and Merkur (Germany) make more conventional blades similar to Gillette. And of course you can also get Gillette, there’s nothing wrong with their double-edge blades except I have animosity toward the brand.
Divesting makes perfect sense economically. Even if US stocks continue to grow, the USD is going to crash. They’re doing it on purpose.
Pension funds must fucking sell their bubblified NVIDIA meme stocks right now.
Buy Bombardier, SAAB, Alstom, Rheinmetall, Siemens Energy, ASML, Airbus, ABB, Skanska.
Divesting is so important. It’s good for your savings account too. My Canadian, French, Korean and Swedish stocks slap.
Safety razor and/or shavette is such an eye-opener. You can buy a good shavette for €20 and 10 premium blades for €5. That’s 500 shaves for the price of a month’s worth of fancy quadrouple Gillette blades that suck ass.
Me too and I’m not Canadian
Well this is Lemmy, not reddit. We’re all tankies here.
You’re absolutely right. Trump is a lightning rod for rage, but most of what the US is doing is bipartisan. It’s a huge problem that so many people harbor false hope for the controlled opposition.
I want a fucking Huawei P70. The 10x camera on that thing can practically take stabilized macro photos from a 5 m distance. But Ursula says Orange Man will spank her if she allows competition to Apple and Google.
I think the sooner we stop hoping and start fighting, will improve our chances to see a world based on freedom and reason within our lifetimes.
Sweden will buy your state. We love you!
You will be our, perhaps most CHERISHED 26th province.
Governor Newsom can’t come though.
It cuts even deeper than that. KDE took Microsoft’s philosophy to the extreme, didn’t abandon projects that crashed and burned under Windows, and somehow at long last made many things work.
Explorer was supposed to be an everything-browser. Didn’t work out. Microsoft gave up and made a file explorer and separate Internet Explorer. Meanwhile, KDE made Konqueror with KHTML that browsed everything – sftp, samba, websites, open any file within any Konqueror pane, split your view horizontally and vertically as many times as you god damn like. It was really fucking weird until you got used to it. KHTML went on to become WebKit then Blink; Internet Explorer went on to become a wrapper for Blink.
Windows 98 wanted to put HTML on your desktop as applets or gadgets or whatever. Didn’t work. Sucked. Huge resource hog too. Got abandoned for the next ambitious Microsoft project that they never follow through on. Meanwhile that’s exactly how Plasma works, and it rules.
I file this under “questions I didn’t know I had with really fucking obvious answers”
I’m in Sweden. War is almost unthinkable. I have prepared my basement with shelf-stable food and fuel that could feed my apartment complex for a month. If something happens, it’s for my neighbors, not just for my family.
But a month is nothing.
There are some positive signs, with some MAGAs turning on Trump over Epstein, his warmongering, and possbily over Greenland.
However, the pessimist in me expects that they’ll get re-educated by Joe Rogan and FOX News soon enough, into understanding the absolute necessity of putting nukes and ICBM interceptors on Greenland.
Please note when he talks about the Golden Dome, he means that he needs Greenland to protect Mar-a-Lago from ICBM nuclear strikes.
Over the past decade the US has shown that they think they can take down Russia’s ICBMs in the event of an all-out nuclear war, and thus Mutually Assured Destruction is no longer a thing. But it’s predicated on early warning systems and bases that can intercept potentially hundreds of missiles. That’s why he wants Greenland.
So in his scenario Denmark becomes the Glowing Sea and Mar-a-Lago becomes some absurd Fritzl bunker for Ivanka.
For real. This is photo of the year material.
No, actually. Might does not make right. It is also not always the most efficient way to get what you want.
I’m not saying that force is never necessary in a chaotic world. Violence is often necessary and justified to protect ourselves and others. But violence is not “right” by virtue of being to most forceful, ruthless or effective. What’s right lives on a completely different axis from what can be taken.
The rules-based world order was imperfect, it was often hypocritical, but it wasn’t a straight-up lie. It reigned in a lot of chaos, and it gave us the best years of human civilization. Had the project succeeded, it could have removed weapons of mass destruction and shrunk armies around the world, eradicated hunger and diseases, and no doubt it could have fixed the climate crisis too. It did accomplish many of the things it set out to do. But it was sidelined, betrayed, by complacency and a belief that the dominoes would fall into place without any need for further effort or sacrifice.
I still believe. Fuck the UN. We need to build a new UN with blackjack and hookers, get some real environmental protections on the ground, round up capital, and progressively get rid of weapons. It can still be done.
