I still haven’t figured out if Google’s flight search forwards view data similar to checking on the actual airline’s website because I’ve definitely seen price hikes occur in realtime, but I can’t tell if that’s because of constant rechecks close to the flight date, or just the static algorithm increasing the price as the flight date approaches.
Otherwise I’m kind of skeptical of how they allow Google to use such data and present it for free.
That branded B52 meme but instead of blowing up Iran with an oil powered war machine, its blowing up Iran with a nuclear powered war machine.
This jackass thinks he accomplished the impossible by offering up PAF as a security service and inviting people to a hotel for negotiations which everyone already knew would fail.
He also spent his entire career shanking Pakistan and pummleing it into the ground in literally every aspect which includes hundreds of assasinations, hundreds of thousands of arrests, and Infinite torture to anyone who dares to speak the truth.
Oh and he promoted himself to the lifetime FM position for hiding in a bunker while the PAF did his job for him in 2025 with the skirmish with India.
Most ludicrous crap were their comments and cries of being “neutral” while hundreds of aircraft were actively taking off and landing from their US bases lol. Someone on lemmy was even claiming that Iran shouldn’t have attacked the GCC because they were “nominally neutral” lol.
Iran did what no country has effectively done before; they kicked the American empire in the nuts.
Every country and their mom that bought into the US hegemony is suddenly facing the sharp consequences of an adversary whose original “mistake” was overthrowing its own US backed regime.
Half the UN is calling Iran daily to put on a permanent ceasfire, but now they have zero reason to after crippling the petroleum supply line for only like four and a half weeks.
The temp ceasfire expires in 2 days, and I fully expect the strait to close again for a long time as the fighting resumes.
It’s a TikTok trend, Batman
And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.
Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.
If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/
Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.
but does that still work when resetting?
Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.
If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.
Hey I just want to let you know that my user tag that I put on your account a couple of weeks ago continues to prove itself lol
Pakistan literally sold them the uranium enrichment technology bruh.
Even ignoring the ridiculousness of this comment, they got their jumpstart thanks to their immediate neighbor.
I’m starting to think this whole setup was just a move by Pakistan to get KSA to pay off their loans in exchange for PAF’s pilots and fighters lol: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/11/pakistan-sends-fighter-jets-to-saudi-arabia-amid-fragile-us-iran-ceasefire
Iran and US were already aware of eachother’s demands, I don’t think they had any high hopes for a successful negotiation, especially since the contending point was Israel following through.
They even made up marketing fanfare for it like this was some kinda special convention and not literally a heated negotiation over an active war: https://www.reddit.com/r/policymarket/comments/1shoo63/the_world_is_watching_and_the_world_is_hopeful/
I said it as a half joke, but I think Iran should swap their missile tech with NK for fuel enrichment.
NK, Iran, and Libya allegedly got their initial enrichment tech from Pakistan. Only NK was able to successfully follow through, and they too allegedly swapped their missile tech for the cylinders lol.
Right? I was like dang you’re already half way there lol.
The reason though is that they probably don’t want to discourage payments because I have seen businesses refuse to use Monero in ransomware attacks because their insurance agreement complicates payout on a fundamentally untraceable currency. Even if Bitcoin is technically decentralized, they can report the transaction and specific currency blocks to whatever federal agency is responsible for fraud.
Still, why not offer both and put a 5% discount on Monero.
While I’m glad there seems to be genuine development behind these peace talks, I’m also personally disappointed watching Shebaz Sharif and Asmin Munir get recognized for doing literally anything of value.
The PM is from a long family history of corrupt PMLN members who got rich off of strangling Pakistan’s economy and investing their illegal earning abroad.
And the FM (Field Marshal, not foreign minister) promoted himself to Field Marshal after getting the PAF to do all the actual military work last year while he spent his resources cracking down on the public and placing his photo on every poster in the country.
Oh and he had a ton of people assasinated, jailed, tortured, “disappeared”, and “software updated” for supporting the previous PM who has been in jail since 2023 under falsified corruption charges.
They’re already acting like this is some grand slam success for doing nothing but forwarding messages between Iran and the USA, all whilst technically being at war with Afghanistan only because Trump demanded revenge after the Taliban refused to give access to the Bagram Airfield again.
Hah I actually remembered this too, and people were still hyping Elon Musk at the time as well.
TBF the researchers knew what they had could be scaled into something gamebreaking which is how we got ChatGPT-3, but OpenAI made it sound like they already had it nailed down several years before it actually blew up. I think their unreleased examples they gave were a newspaper and short story written by AI which they said was indistinguishable from human material.
I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.
Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.
Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.
Field Marshal first.
PM gets whatever falls from the spit of his mouth
Trump doing more for dems than what dems are currently doing for themselves lol.
I already can’t wait for this community to flood my inbox about Newsom in 2028, and then cry when he inevitably loses to a revived zombie hitler in 2030.
No one who speaks German could be a killer!
Honestly they’d probably throw you on a list for not using the internet lol.
Israel was an insane ethnostate movement long before they even gained independence. There’s a reason why an overwhelming majority of former colonial states criticized Israel’s existence during its very inception.
Had the Zionist movement never taken off, Mandatory Palestine would probably have just become a regular old state like Lebanon or Jordan, Lebanon even has a pretty hefty Christian population right after Muslims, yet you don’t see them in some constant genocidal warfare campaign against each other.
Even weirder, Judaism itself was against the idea of forming a Jewish state without a Messiah for thousands of years, but at some point the radical branch became the overwhelming majority. Orthodox Jews are completely outnumbered by their Zionist counterparts which have transformed Judaism into a complete ethnic superiority cult akin to the Aryan superiority of the Nazis. You have to be born a Jew, you can’t just join because you want to (unless you dedicate your entire life into it, and still with caveats).
You’ll see thousands of comments like “Anti-Israel is not Antisemitism”, but at some point you need to address the elephant in the room. The current mainstream “Judaism” is very much an ethnic supremacy group by design. You can’t effectively criticize Israel without pointing out that its actions are overwhelmingly supported by their citizens because of their religion. Everything they do in their eyes is completely justified because they view everyone not in their ethnic group as subhuman.
