You forgot that french juges have used the facts that people installed Linux, Signal, /e/OS and GrapheneOS has evidence to charge them!

this sounds insane but common for judges; do you have any sources for this?

both are golfing-centered movies; you can be forgiven for it since they’re essentially the same story. lol

mostly bald; sad, tired eyes, permanent 5-o’clock facial hair; he’s definitely got more than 5 years of experience. lol

should I consider getting checked out for autism??

do it because it’s much more common than people realize.

also, it’s called a spectrum for a reason; there are varying degrees of “strengths” and “types” of neurodivergence. (there’s actual words for them but my memory is useless before coffee).

it’s impressive how much work they put into that video; they deserve it.

it felt regurgitate to me, but probably because i tried most of these arguments in the past and they all failed to convince anyone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that these companies lobby for lax regulations for data brokers

h&r block & turbotax

adam ruins everything spent some time on it.

your employer doesn’t provide you with one?

i liike mac’s too and i’ve been using them for work since 2008; but i would never buy one for myself unless linux starting working on them better than asahi does rn.

he definitely did some damage to american soft power, but i suspect his goal was to concentrate it from several agencies into a single one.

that plus very clear indicators like von der leyen’s capitulation to trumps trade demands; macron’s & starmer’s refusal to comply w the arrests warrant for netanyahu; germany and the uk criminalizing support for the palestinians; and the spanish, greek & irish government’s public theater supporting the global sumud flotilla only to betray it at the last second suggests that europe is still doing what the united states wants it to do.

pixels are non-starters for me; i don’t want to make google any richer than i already have by being stuck in their ecosystem and my main concern is privacy from commercial entities.

i can recognize that i would be hopelessly outmatched by the american or isreali governments who have ultimate weaponry like prism or pegasus no matter what i did.

Politics influences every single aspect of everyone’s life and is the core reason why Windows is so dominant on the desktop despite there being a significantly better alternatives w Linux.

i love british scifi, comedy, literature, and the lofty aspirations of og liberal thinkers from centuries past.

i think it’s a result of growing up inside the anglosphere.

no one is immune to propaganda and both goebbels and bernays have demonstrated to the world how effectively critical thinking can be shaped through controlled narratives.

china exhibits draconian measures to issues like tiananmen because it was a genuine protest and DEEPLY inconvenient for the chinese government. it was only one of many protests that caused civil unrest throughout the entire country (ie it was much bigger than just tiananmen square) and they really don’t want a repeat of that violence.

in typical western fashion, the legacy media latched onto a kernel of truth and shaped the narrative of that a fledgling neoliberal democracy movement when the truth was that the protesters that pushed for such a thing were an overwhelmingly small minority when you consider the huge number of protestors taking to the streets during that time throughout the entire country.

china doesn’t have oligarchic ruling class solidarity like the united states or the rest of west does so it’s silencing of dissent is much more blunt and direct through government apparatuses where the western oligarchies prefers to employ significantly more subtle and easier to hide dissent silencing like deplatforming and sanctions against individuals like francesca albanese or 9 of the icc judges.

that magat characterization makes sense if you were aware that magats perceive the world through intentional misinformation that’s perpetually reinforced in the west by the likes of fox news (for red maga) and the likes of the state department (for blue maga).

also any conspiracy theory is not necessary when the accusations have been confirmed multiple times during congressional hearings by the likes of the state state department and it’s ngo’s when they publicly admitted (on the record btw) that they intentionally peddled propaganda to the public.

your centuries old examples of us-uk belligerence feels cherry picked when better examples like the suez canal incident makes it clear who’s calling the shots.

the us hegemony takes the cake when it comes to journalism when you consider that its proxy in the middle east alone has literally bombed to death more journalists that china could ever fantasize about and the likes of julian assange, francesca albanese, or any of the 9 icc judges can attest how much impactful sanctions are than government minders.

the only fault lies with the american government and the people who believe what they say when the american government has publicly admitted themselves that they’ve intentional misinformed the public; this fact alone make red maga less culpable for the world’s woes than the liberals.

Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.

so too can the democrats w their base. lol

he called on European authorities to activate a mechanism that could limit the impact of US restrictions.

Europe needs greater sovereignty, especially in digital and banking matters. That is the only way to reduce the impact of sanctions and, indirectly, protect the victims of international crimes. Today, there is no room for naivety. Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law. Some European lawmakers have become aware of these issues. Still, this awareness must grow among national governments and the European Commission, because behind the sanctions against the ICC lies the entire question of the rule of law.

it feels like he doesn’t know that the europeans are vassal states to the us empire and that even the most powerful members of the icc aligned countries are following the empire’s orders instead of the icc/icj’s orders.

now that we have both robotics and ai; the first person the build, patent, and produce this robot is going to be the next billionaire. lol

what’s MAS?

ever heard of the “special relationship” between the two countries that enable them to work together in arenas like this one and usaid literally funded several foreign “media” agencies like the guardian before trump shuttered it.

the difference is that sources defining the tiananmen protests as a massacre are funded by the state department (both directly and undirectly) which has a long, storied and undisputed history of peddling propaganda; including my government’s own public admissions of doing so.
