The top image gave me flashbacks to reddit, r/chodi, and the wave of Indians spamming r/Pakistan complaining about “love jihad”

It was funny because there actually were several studies and polls that suggested women in India preferred Muslim men because they were well groomed and more respectable than their Hindu counterparts.

Bruh it was a placeholder cuz it took me a sec to find the meme lmao

The jackass in the mcfatnolds oversized gasoline powered truck acting like his steering radius is somehow larger than a semi by refusing to rotate his steering wheel more than halfway

I hate all of these because it’s just insurance companies trying to grift as hard as they possibly can because insurance in the US is yet another legalized scam business.

Just use OpenSUSE

The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

XFCE + Compiz

The unholy combination of accelerated 3D graphics and performance, all without the stupid drawbacks of wayland.

Runs much lighter than KDE even with all the 3D cube and windows stuff enabled.

Extremely customizable as well. XFCE already does a great job of UI/UX, it just lacks a compositor to add flare (xfwm4 has no animations, only some blur effects).

This is why lots of software has started adopting SSPL license which doesn’t actually fix the problem and isn’t a FOSS license.

I still think a new license scheme should be considered though. Giants like AWS and Google have been profiteering off of FOSS for way too long now.

AGPL has been deemed generally successful in this regard because it has been upheld in court cases and forced companies to comply, which it seems to work pretty great for SaaS.

The problem is these giants will usually just choose a more permissive alternative anyway. Both MongoDB and Redis have forks that they can use, and GPL itself is permissive enough for private forking being legal.

I like how Pakistan is striped as if they didn’t just throw away billions of dollars of chinese investments for some IMF loans because the US told them to lol.

Also Afghanistan being green which actually happened right before Pakistan’s thing

EDIT: Also India which always gets refused US arm tech sales because they exclusively buy from Russia lol. It’s like enemy of my enemy but also friend of my other enemy.

I mean it was the NSA that sat on eternal blue for something like 10 years.

And just seeing the defaults on Active Directory would make anyone believe they pay Microsoft to keep windows insecure.

Can’t wait to run NSA SElinux on a Chinese OEM RISC-V machine in the future.

Double the security

…

Or maybe double the backdoors lmao

Pakistan will happily sell the info and tech you need, you just gotta bribe the right people lol.

That’s how Iran and NK allegedly got their start.

Just make sure the US doesn’t get wise or you’ll get regime changed.

You’d have to pay KSA double their oil money to take Palestine.

Probably better luck convincing Egypt or Iraq to take if we’re actually gonna go down this utterly stupid route.

Also Hamas doesn’t even have proper C&C. On top of the reality thay this isn’t a videogame, practically nothing will change.

I just browse “All” and I keep getting slapped with “Kamala actually cares about Gaza and understands the complexities of the situation so plz vote plz I beg we need this so bad no don’t go actually look at the ongoing genocide just plz vote” posts

The former members of SEATO can tell you how well that went for them lol.

They actually did until it backfired on them and now Iran is ultra conservative and the only Middle East nation not a shill state.

Even if the UN buckled under pressure, I have a sneaking suspicion Ireland would not care lol.

Also very nice of them to ask the UN for things after banning entry to the UN general secretary.

Yeah this letter was penned by a whopping 4 democrats. I’m sure there are more, but nothing close to a majority.

No but obviously Russia would attack their own pipeline in a 4D chess move for public PR. Reddit assured me it’s true.

Full attention on Uighurs but absolutely nothing is happening in Gaza -Blinken probably
