Maoo

Apple makes it basically impossible to do proper testing for compatibility without buying a Mac or paying someone else that has a Mac to run your tests. Their entire app infrastructure is like this.

Well Ukraine itself is definitely losing. They will probably lose territory to Poland as well if this keeps up and they have sold their country out to capitalists, mostly Americans. Loans, land, industries, etc all to pay for "their" war effort. The common Ukrainian is who suffers the most under this. They will be more exploited (paid less for the value of their labor), see more social programs dismantled, and go into a serious recession/depression that may not lift for decades.

Russia is doing okay. The US is pulling Europe more into its orbit (making them pay more for less from the US while losing a lot of their industry), which is a loss for Russia, but that was the remand endgame of the US anyways. What was surprising, at least to some, was the extent to which Russia could survive and even thrive when subjected to the most significant financial weapons the West has. Overall their economy is certainly in a better place now and a chunk of Ukraine will be theirs and the other chunk will be weak. This is a victory for the ruling class of Russia and its overall geopolitical self-interest.

The US ruling class is making out like bandits as usual, funding its weapons industry, basically a cash injection for the owner class and the only thing the US ever reliably does (threaten its chosen enemies with destruction).

Or maybe you espouse views that are farther right than you like to think of yourself as. Views that would have put you, for example, on the side of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging.

You should consider asking yourself whether you need to more reading on this topic before having an opinion.

The only people who think From The River To The Sea is genocidal either learned everything they think they know about Palestine in the last 2 months (and learned it by uncritically parroting media narratives) or is engaging in cynical PR for the genocide itself. It has no basis in reality, so the only way to learn this anti-fact is the aforementioned ways. It requires an aversion to reading anything about the recent history of Palestine, in fact. Say, the last 75-100 years.

Liberal white supremacy means the white supremacy that is acceptable to and promoted by liberals. They might reject the KKK aesthetic but are more than happy to dehumanize the Palestinian population and revert to post-9/11 islamophobia the moment their masters say it's okay. The kind that tut-tuts the victims of racialized settler-colonial apartheid while providing full cover for the colonizers.

People often think, "how could anyone have stood by during American slavery, or the genocide of indigenous Americans, or the Nazis?". The answer is right in front of you: all of these liberals braying for Palestinian blood, bombing hospitals, and trying to punish just about the only voice in Congress pushing back on it.

How dare she stand against genocide.

This is what liberal white supremacy looks like btw.

Different distros are better for different things. For example, some require give you more control over the OS but are more difficult to learn, or require learning more things at once. Others will be easier to try out but may make choices on your behalf that you don't like - or distribute software in ways you don't like.

Linux from Scratch will have a fairly steep learning curve. Nothing wrong with that, but you'd want to prepare yourself to be cool with things breaking or not making sense for a while.

Puppy Linux is minimalist, which is something people usually only want after they've tried out something else that's not minimalist. I would recommend trying out something more general-purpose and try out different desktop environments and applications first.

Coil is... just an image loader?

Is there something I'm missing as to why this is important?

This is roughly in line with how robust plant ecosystems tend to function. Fungal-plant symbiosis is very common, so common that is seems to be frequently advantageous overall.

A truly cowardly article that juxtaposes (implying a conflation, really) claims of antisemitism and Tlsib's reasonable claims against apartheid settler-colonialism.

Either way, the Japanese deserve to have their culture appropriated so this is great.

I choose to believe, despite having read the article, that Australian sushi is just a bunch of still-living extremely poisonous animals served alongside a beer.

Imagine thinking space commies would celebrate Genocide Day.

The article is generally full of shit, conflating the conditions present for a few years near the end of the USSR with conditions "under communism" in general. You'll notice that it cites no sources, not even a single person's personal experience during those times.

In the USSR, queues to buy most items were as short as most grocery store lines in capitalist countries from the mid-50s to the mid-80s, i.e. after recovering from WWII and before the collapse years. Prior to the 1950s there were shortages due to reasonable factors:

• A need to revamp the economy to industrialize in general and prepare for capitalists bringing war to them. Putting an end to famines, for example, required this and it took over a decade to accomplish, lining up almost perfectly with The West's invasion.

• The war itself.

But, generally speaking, this article is bullshit, propaganda from a person associated with the Mises Institute.
