Better for the royals to slim down their numbers themselves than to wait for the peasants to do it.

A Hemi engine has a hemispherical dome, which was a new design that increased efficiency and power output over others, in 1901.
Chrysler popularized the term for their engines in the 1950’s, and the name has a positive image in some circles because Chrysler-built Hemi engines were used in WW2 fighter planes and NASCAR racecars.

It’s not mundane at all, though.
Saying it implies that it needs to be said, as if in mainstream opinion it was not OK to be white.
It pretends there’s widespread racism against white people.

So exactly what far right racists believe.

KISSmyOS ,

I hate the word “legacy manufacturers”. As if Teslas were something entirely new or different.

Honestly, not the worst thing you can do after dropping out of art school.

Our friendly allies in Saudi Arabia are working on it.

Maine state official who removed Trump from ballot was targeted in swatting call at her home (apnews.com)

A fake emergency call to police resulted in officers responding Friday night to the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just a day after she removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause....

Germany mulls reintroduction of compulsory military service (www.dw.com)

At the end of October, the Bundeswehr said it counted 181,383 soldiers in its ranks — that’s still some distance from the target of 203,000 that the German military hopes to reach by 2025. This has given rise to concern in times of Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has once again reminded Germans how quickly conflicts...

Another term for “mandatory service” is slavery.

KISSmyOS ,

Slavery isn’t always life-long, and it isn’t always done to just one group. Indentured servitude and serfdom are forms of slavery. It’s forced labor against your will and with no way to avoid it if you’re subjected.

Mandatory service means forcing you to work at the point of a gun.
This sounds hyperbolic, but what happens when you refuse and simply want to keep living your life freely instead?
You are given a prison sentence, and if you refuse that, in the last consequence, the state reserves the right to use deadly force to make you comply.

You can ad-hominem every young person as useless basement-dweller, assign beautiful words to your forced labor, use bad comparisons, and pay people to do it.
It doesn’t change the fact that you want to force people to work, and their only other option is prison (where they will also be forced to work) or death.

What?

I explain my reasoning in the following paragraph.

you simultaneously saying slavery isn’t THAT bad

I’m not saying slavery isn’t bad, I’m saying the term slavery applies even to forced work that is temporary.

And please explain what you think will happen if someone refuses to do this mandatory service OR go to jail for their refusal?

KISSmyOS ,

School isn’t work. And you don’t get sent to prison if you don’t attend.

KISSmyOS OP ,

Cauuse ocean temperature varies greatly with depth, and air temperature with altitude.

KISSmyOS ,

So you decided to kill one man to save the lives of several others in the future?

KISSmyOS ,

But what if the people he tied to the tracks were all murderers?

KISSmyOS ,

I bet all the presents were guns.
And the baby was also a gun.

KISSmyOS ,

You can’t put the responsibility on the actor who never chose to own a gun, so they have no reason to educate themselves about gun safety.
All responsibility lies with their employer (I guess that’s the producer and/or director), who made them handle a gun as part of their job and should have given them the required training, as well as the prop guy whose job it was to check the gun.

Honestly, we peaked in the stone age.
Agriculture was a mistake.

This reads like a news story at the beginning of a disaster movie.

Hey, I want free money, too.

I’ve pretty much stopped buying stuff online, except from small brick-and-mortar stores who have their own independent online store.

AI will fix that. The photo picture might not have anything to do with what’s in front of the lens, but at least it will be pretty.

That’s the beauty of the fediverse. There are no customers, there is no product, this is no business.

Just in case you haven’t played them, I’d highly recommend Papers, Please and Headliner Novinews.
Those would be right up your alley.

Disregarding all politics, what kind of heartless bastard does something like that?

KISSmyOS ,

It’s 2 groups of people who want their own state on the same piece of land.
Religion is a side aspect at best.

KISSmyOS ,

What if I don’t think both sides are bad guys, but I do think both sides need to sit down and talk?
The concept of “bad guys” or “evil” is completely useless in international politics.
I just hope some day, they can manage what Germany and France did: Become friendly, allied nations after over a millennium of rivalry and constant wars.

That’s why geologists are the experts in this matter.

Wait, so those players get to enjoy over 1000 hours of playtime and then get all their money back???
Sweet deal!

Hyperloop ate half a billion $ and the only “transport” they managed to actually build is THIS

KISSmyOS ,

You have to reinstall Signal after uninstalling play services. Then it detects that play services aren’t there and sets itself up to receive push notifications without it.
But to be on the safe side, I’d install Signal-FOSS instead which has no Google dependencies at all.

Desktop OS (Windows or Linux) support any version as long as the PC is powerful enough.

Windows 10 will stop being supported next year, and Windows 11 can’t be installed on old computers without regedit trickery.
32bit support was cut from most Linux distros.
So while it’s true that desktop hardware is supported a lot longer, it’s not supported indefinitely.

KISSmyOS ,

Their point is: Lack of money doesn’t keep you from smoking.
You’ll eat less instead.

KISSmyOS ,

Also, I’ve seen Rufus claiming to be able to remove the TPM requirement from the installer. I didn’t test it though.

Works well, I’ve tested it thoroughly, and it is part of my standard toolbox as IT tech now.
Not because of the TPM requirement (we don’t install Windows on unsupported devices), but because it also lets you install it without a Microsoft account.

Palestinians support Hamas decision to go to war with Israel, survey suggests, with no political solution on horizon (www.cnn.com)

CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for...

I doubt that a war of “the entire planet” against Israel, EU and US would improve anything, but what do I know?

If your solution is to start World War 3, literally any alternative plan is better.

I’d like to take on your suggestions on what I should seriously consider working on and...

I’m not giving you hate, but both problems you just described simply can’t be fixed on the Linux side.
When a company says “I’m offering a service based on closed source software, and I’m not supporting anything other than Windows” there’s hardly anything you can do except use the services of someone else.

I’d trust Pornhub with my data over my government.
