Never did i say that the CCP cares about gazan lives, just like it doesnt care about ukrainian lives. Im just glad that all the shitty people are fighting with each other and im laughing at the EUs thinly veiled racism.

The Aspides EU military operation started in February 2024 to protect vessels against attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militants in the southern Red Sea and aims to ensure the freedom of international shipping.

If you help protect Israel from trade consequences for its genocide, then you dont get to cry about a lil bit of laser interference on a valid military target by a third party.

Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria and Egypt.

Notice how they only murder people from countries that have little international political power.

I luckily only really use Calc. Ive had no problems with that, but my use cases are fairly primitive probably. What kind of issues did you have while using it and which one Writer/Calc/Draw?

Yeah, this seems like an easy lawsuit in the EU tbh

The problem is, that by doing that you make it look like this system is valid and not outrageous. YOU might be a good person, but others wont be and from the outside nobody can tell if you treat your slaves well. By participating you are inflating the numbers that trump will use to show that this system is wanted.

We do have it in Germany and the local public transport is perfectly good, albeit a bit expensive in some cities, but its the interregional, long distance train network that has massive issues in Germany. Trains are constantly delayed or even cancelled, pricing is absurd, still no level boarding on the high speed trains, etc.

Identifying them is a skill for sure. You learn what you have to look for, but it depends heavily on the art style that was used. Most people are usually better at identifying hyperrealism ones than comic style ones for example.

Its usually deleted by mods fairly quickly because its often being posted into comms that specifically ban it. I saw it in politics comms, shitposts, 196 and more

And they are probably aware of that. The suffering is the point.

They arent wrong in the sense that we need something to occupy Trumps attention with that doesnt cause too much damage. Problem is, the Ukraine war causes a bunch of fucking damage…

“Once again European families are held to ransom by French Air Traffic Controllers going on strike,” Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said.

“It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays,” O’Leary said.

Lmao. Eat shit asshole. You can make all those flight take off on time in a heartbeat if you just agree to their demands :)

Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments

Only when it comes to individual consumer cases like terrorists or other crimes. When it comes to large scale political movements then they are very quick to lend authoritarian governments a hand, see for example their cooperation with the CCP to suppress the Hong Kong protests. But they have also always cooperated with police to some degree and this has only gotten worse.

Forbes for the lack of a better source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/10/09/apple-sells-privacy-to-consumers-but-its-quietly-helping-police-use-iphones-for-surveillance/

There’s a widespread perception that Apple has a combative relationship with law enforcement after the company refused to help the FBI hack into the iPhone of the shooter in the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attacks. But since then, it has ramped up collaboration with police through the conference and other meetings with agencies at both Cupertino HQ and its Elk Grove campus, as well as a variety of previously unreported projects helping cops use iPhones, Macs, Apple Vision Pro and CarPlay, the emails show. Most of these projects have not been announced publicly.

Apple declined to comment.

People just love believing in Apple for some weird reasons.

Turn of your capitalism brain ffs. This is not the place for companies and markets. If there is a financial interest then the app is worthless by design. iOS is not a trustable platform for anything security related so obviously you shouldnt use it for anything that concerns your physical safety. Dont forget, apple will always bend the knee to governments in the end.

No, and even worse, its only for apple devices lmao. These kids are so unserious in their activism it would be funny if it werent so sad. If shit hits the fan, this stuff will go down instantly and im sure it has no backup plan for a Tor based or p2p service. Activists in the US should start using Briar. This situation is exactly what it was made for and people have to get their tech game up fast or they will be done for. Get a shitty 80$ android phone if you only have an iphone. Install a panic trigger app that will wipe the phone if you are in trouble.

On ICEBlocks website it says:

Modeled after Waze but for ICE sightings, the app ensures user privacy by storing no personal data, making it impossible to trace reports back to individual users.

Which worries me, because if its closed source then thats a worthless promise and actually makes the app a perfect candidate for a honeypot or backdoor.

Man i was hoping this “slap” was of the more literal variant

Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.

Is the .tv TLD gonna disappear when Tuvalu completely goes under?

I hope Mamdani has a high quality security detail or he wont live long.

Yeah this is like asking “Why rob a bank when you could just rob a random person on the street”

Sure you can do that, but the comparably tiny amount of money you get is not really worth the effort and risk.
