Oh yeah, its his party, he’s just the face.
It’s the offshoot of the same party that led Albert Einstein to distance himself from the concept of Israel back in the late 1940s.

Also, allegedly that most of the reason Hamas got to execute their October 7th plot in the first place was that Bibi had all of those soldiers off intimidating the judges that were overseeing his multiple criminal trials

You realize that Netenyahu and his fascist Likud party are the ones responsible for eliminating democracy in Israel?

Sir Terry Pratchett.

A phenomenal author whose ability to weave a story is fantastic, but was also adept at writing in jokes and references that make re-reading the novels a delight.

At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?

Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.

Due to cost profit margins and shareholder returns.

Fixed that for you.

Thanks, was looking for a verifiable source for the apartment bombings but couldn’t find one. Didn’t think of wikipedia.

There are persistent suspicions that he and his clique organized the terrorist bombings that catapulted him to power.

Not to mention what he did the last time people in a theater in Moscow were attacked. His actions(gassing the theather) killed 130 of the victims.

Live your life and enjoy what you can.

Be glad that you got to experience what you did.

If you have the funds, go tour things we know are vanishing, so that you at least have a living memory of them.

If you’ve been using the same OS and computer since Firefox’s initial release.

You need a new computer.

Yes, but I was never under the impression that SMS was secure, and have never heard anyone say it was secure.

What it was, was cheap, designed to be free, effective and difficult to monetize.

Google RCS is proprietary and designed to sell your data as well as deliver targeted ads to you that you cannot block.

The weird thing is that so many people are buying into the Google and Apple marketing on SMS being insecure.

If you’re on an unroooted smartphone running stock OS, nothing you do is secure

Reddit is dumb enough that they probably have a backup they kept of EU users.

What are you talking about?
Taiwan is its own country.

The CCP has only ever cared about the public face it presents.

Consistency between statements has never mattered.

Oh I got your point, but I also reject it. Google is objectively making the internet worse.

There isn’t any reasonable comparison to Apple or MS outside of they’re all too big and too unregulated.

Yup. It’s a slow process for me, but honestly the fediverse is proving a great resource for that.

As a percentage of population, so did Julius Caesar.

The reality is that Google is entirely dependent on ads and selling your data.

Apple and Microsoft, it’s just a happy side gig they can do.

Apple makes its money selling mediocre hardware and software for a premium markup.
Microsoft makes money selling Windows, Office(+Teams) and Azure to business users then from video games, then ad revenue.

You do realize that Google is far worse than Apple and Microsoft combined right?

I’ll add that one of the biggest hurdles/flaws to the fundamental architecture of the design of AI is their inability to reapply a specific use case in a slightly different scenario.

This was a flaw that came out of self driving development and, as far as I understand, plays a major role in why the hype on it died off really fast. Adding more to the model can’t fix that flaw.
