I’ve felt the pain of the mitID strictness, it really sucks. But can’t you request the desktop version of a site om your phone when logging in and using the code key device?

Ah, I probably mixed up F-14s and F-15s

Probably just a mistake, especially likely since Iran also had (or used to have?) F-15s of their own. Still really bad communications wise.

I guess their own slop isn’t good enough as a communication platform

Wanted to test PieFed, mashed the keyboard for a bit. Turns out, PieFed is quite nice, maybe I should make another account with a proper username

Add more requirements to the contract that make these kinds of practices impossible/harder to pull off

The man who wanted to make peace in many places in the world and get a peace price for it, has decided to start yet another war in the Middle East…

As far as I know, there is no mechanism for suspension

There’s plenty of perfectly fine distributions out there. Mint is an easy choice, easy to get started with, big community that probably already has answered the questions you might have and otherwise you can ask them. Many more gaming focused people use Bazzite, not sure what it offers on top of a basic, well working environment.

The Nvidea graphics card could cause issues since drivers tend to not be supported well. Again, you’re most likely to find help for the bigger distros such as Mint and Bazzite.

Regardless of which distro you choose, just try it and see how it goes. Dual boot can be a nice starting point (but make sure you get the partitioning right before installing anything!).

So for a change a company is cleaning up after itself? That’s nice! (Not sure what’s up with the endless reminders that it’s not sharks)

It makes sense, a big part of their economy depends on exploitation, specifically the (mis)use of personal kind. It’s only natural that they defend their interests and it’s only natural to fight back.

So far the USA still provides a competitive funding environment, despite the budget cuts. I suspect that the increasingly limited academic freedom due to the fascist government will become the greater driver of migration.

I’m under the impression that not many people have moved yet and that it’s mostly people returning home (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, they’re great researchers too), but of course acquiring funding takes a while. We’ll have to see how it continues in the next few years.

500 people with over $7.57 billion… Every single one of them could use their money to bring some serious change to the world but choose not to :(

I read that as a very polite ‘Fuck you, come apologize now!’

So these ninety or so specific people, is someone keeping a list somewhere?

Absolutely. Typically, the bigger the branding the more you pay for that and the less bang for buck you get. In second hand shopping I do often look at the brands though, because branded things are often better than no name items, but at the same price in that market (e.g. in kilo sales)

I think patience has already run out. It is rather a calculated approach of identifying what does and what doesn’t depend on the USA, and setting up alternatives for those things that do depend on the USA for example through trade deals (Mercosur, India) and investing in independent tech (funding open source projects, governments moving to native tech alternatives).

In the past year the EU has found out that it depends scarily much on the USA, but also that it can be more independent than expected while also having serious economic leverage.

You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?

I’m not fully convinced by the article either, especially the GDP figure they show. A decline in investments and employment is pretty bad though, although they don’t compare those numbers to other countries :/

Yep, that’s the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it’s easier to single out whoever did it.
