Technically correct, but not really:

The desire among Americans to move abroad is reaching record numbers: One in five say that, ideally, they would like to emigrate if given an opportunity, according to a 2025 Gallup poll

If they’d used “expat” or some shit, you’d have a point.

It’s not just careers on the line here. And that to say something just so all the people who need to hear it immediately get back into the brainwash machine again 5 minutes later to listen to thousands of hours of billionaire-controlled media? That’s worth it?

What an idiotic move it would be to potentially piss off a powerful man-child leading a nation while you’re dependent on an agency of that nation to get back to civilization.

I literally can’t think of a worse position to speak up against Trump than on a NASA mission in space. Maybe the men’s toilet on one of how rallies? But you’d probably easily survive that.

AV1. Netvc didn’t happen, and parts of Daala and Thor were integrated into AV1. Google has the only relevant patents and gave the world an irrevocable license to use it freely.

This is as close as you can get. The sisvel patent trolls will put their grubby fingers onto everything you can call “video codec”, and make up ways they can milk people stupid enough to pay them.

Yeah. Rowling actively pumps her money into lobbyism aimed at hurting trans people. That’s so directly malicious that I wouldn’t want to give her a penny for it.

Because they always do, not because they have a legitimate claim.

The biometrics part makes no sense, you can disable biometrics. You mean that you have to do a security confirmation however you’ve set it up.

The KDE screenshot application is super nice though, what does flameshot have that it doesn’t?

You got it. Multiple things can happen to you from different sources. Maybe even on the same day!

Valid, but far from universal. Poly people do exist.

Nobody but you said that that part is OK.

You’re in a thread wondering about thee thread’s confusing description of their relationship status, not about the “leaving her behind” part.

Or just keep using Firefox and don’t use the entirely optional and opt-in features you don’t need. The same as always.

I’m completely flabbergasted why people get their panties in a twist over

• completely local features that happen to be backed by machine learning models (the translation feature is a huge privacy win over sending your text to Google translate)
• opt-in LLM integration that nobody forces you to use

German here, so provably not applicable as it was 17 years ago (jeez) and a climate when they were just getting rid of it (only to reintroduce it again this year)

I avoided “Wehrdienst” by rolling in hungover with sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt, botching their written test and telling them how much I enjoy going to leftist demonstrations and how I can’t wait to hold a weapon in my hand.

I think they don’t enjoy the idea of arming and training leftists.

No matter what world we live in, we can always find community. Sure, if it comes to full on fascism, finding it might be dangerous, but that’s not the case in many parts of the world.

You’re much more likely for this to develop organically than finding someone through an app (which I inferred would be your plan since otherwise you wouldn’t be exposed to people in general)

Word meaning depends on usage. People call it “oat milk”, so it’s oat milk.

I live in Bavaria. There are multiple politicians who don’t get tired to performatively eat sausages and try to make laws that mandate calling oat milk “oat drink” and vegan burgers/schnitzel/… anything else. As if anyone would ever get confused by that. There’s a common joke that they should rename “scouring milk” to “scouring drink” otherwise people get confused!!!

Regarding your last paragraph: that’s unrelated. There are also lots of insufferably vocal meat eaters who feel personally attacked when someone else doesn’t religiously stuff themselves with meat every meal.

I’ve seen a lot of stupid patent and copyright trolling over the years.

I bet 100€ that they’re trying to double dip and get valve to also pay for licensing songs that the individual game publishers already licensed.
