Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil

I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger

It’s difficult to quantify, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made - just off of my head, WW2 led to:

• the fall of German autocracy/restoration of German democracy (though Hitler did kinda break that one in the first place)
• Italian and Japanese democracy
• redistribution of wealth/power in Britain
• the 4th french republic
• alignment of the European democracies
• establishment of the UN

It’s crazy that this isn’t even the first comment I’ve seen this week arguing that the Ukraine war is somehow a conspiracy by the West to sell more weapons, as if Russia didn’t just roll up and invade them, illegally and unprovoked

Did apple maps really not support walking until now?!

How is turning it off an improvement over lockdown? I was under the impression that the security impact is basically the same

Does it behave the same if you refer to it as “the war in Gaza”/“Israel-Palestine conflict” or similar?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it trips up on making the inference from Oct 7th to the (implicit) war.

Edit: I tested it out, and it’s not that - formatting the question the same for Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine respectively does still yield those results. Horrifying.

I love how she’s acting dramatic and serious in all the photos, but you can tell she’s having a great time from her eyes poking out of the tires

Yes, you’re definitely getting ratiod into oblivion because there’s a shadowy cabal of around 30 people who spend their days downvoting your posts, specifically.

Definitely not just that your take is bad, and your response to criticism of that take is even worse.

Or, alternatively, whatever their actual role in the organisation is. In this case, no current formal role, but he is the ex-chairman of Hamas.

Of course, the article would like to pretend he’s still a key figure so it can imply that he speaks for Hamas, but in reality he retired over a decade ago.

I’ve heard very good things about wireguard-easy to simplify the config and management, too

I’m don’t understand, what are you referring to?

As far as I’m aware, twitter has actually been a lot smaller in terms of users than you might imagine from its influence.

It has a relatively low number of active users, but the fact it’s designed to be a centralised public forum (rather than users being selective who can follow them like Facebook) means it is/was very attractive for businesses, celebrities and politicians.

Eh, I think there’s definitely some legitimacy to doing a virus scan for applications with unrecognised signatures

Not everyone knows how to (or even can for many apps) manually verify the authenticity of their apks

And plenty of non-technical people will just install random shit from the internet without thinking

Pack it up lads, the internet is complete

No, they aren’t.

If you ask “should I make brownies or lemon drizzle cake”, it’s perfectly reasonable for them to ask “is this for an event? do the people it’s for have any preferences or allergies?”

They’re trying to work out what problem you’re trying to solve, so they can give you actually useful advice for your - frankly - very vague question

“What are you trying to achieve” is a perfectly reasonable question to ask about a deeply under-specified problem

Edit: here’s my theory:

This is a homework or interview question you’ve been asked, that depends on specific context that you haven’t included (because you don’t know what context is even relevant)

You don’t want to admit that’s why you’re asking, because you know that defeats the point of you being asked in the first place.

Hence, you’re being absurdly hostile to someone trying to help, because you can’t answer their question without admitting you’re trying to cheat

Jfc, they’re trying to help YOU specifically and you’re being a prick?

if it is so clearly superior to capitalism, then such a company would outperform its competitors and naturally lead to a proliferation of communism that way, because most or all of its competitors would end up adopting it

Tell me you have absolutely no idea what an economic system is without saying it. It’s not a method for optimising the amount of money that can be squeezed out of a business.

I don’t support any political system

Okay, well there’s no point discussing them ever I guess, cool, back to feudalism everyone. Thank goodness you saved us from wasting our time trying to find a system that ensures quality of life.

To be perfectly honest with you, it’s immensely clear that you really don’t have even the most basic idea of what communism is, but you have decided that whatever it is, it’s terrible. There’s no point having a discussion if you refuse to actually understand the subject of the discussion.

Let’s leave these here - you’re clearly not interested in actually considering the concepts, so there’s nothing to be gained from this. It’ll save us both a lot of wasted further time.
