Looking at the T I'm convinced it is shopped.

Opera once wasn't as shady and had their own engine. It was quite snappy and low on resources.

It is a shame they didn't open source their engine when they switched to Chrome.

Someone leaked the source code, but of course no one serious will touch it.

The crazy thing is that the reason why communism sucks is that (at least currently) it requires totalitarianism to implement it. And that comes with a lot of issues. Communism in theory looks like utopia. Russia no longer is communist, but it absolutely is totalitarian, but according to them that's somehow good.

Also what I noticed is that those tankies on lemmygrad, aren't really pro communism, they are pro totalitarianism.

If his freedom is on the line he would flee. As for properties, he doesn't need to sell them immediately or I don't think he even need to sell them. It's not like he is alone with it.

The Secret Service was caught treading water for him in some crimes.

Yeah, $200,000 is laughable for somebody like him. I feel like appropriate for someone from upper middle class.

And what's crazy, all of that was done AFTER presidency. One has to wonder how many things he got away during.

LOL, sorry but if it is control over my computer vs youtube going away my reasponse is "bye bye, YouTube, don't let the door hit you on the way out"

Gecko (Firefox engine) already is worked on, why not contribute there instead of losing community? If anything why those browsers use engine that is controlled by a single company?

I think Ryan McBeth on his YT channel said the real reason for it.

The cluster munition aren't that useful for trenches and not useful for offensive when there's even a small dud rate (it's not 40% like with Russian cluster bombs, but 2% adds up if you would fire it many times) and you don't want your own soldiers to be blown up by own munition when they advance.

But, if you take the missile, open it up, you get 88 bombs, that can penetrate 4cm of steel. Strap them to a drone and they can be quite scary. Also since they are fired individually, they don't hit each other when falling down which is the primary reason for duds.

The crazy thing is that governments would be much better served if they would run government Mastodon instances for government employees and enforce their own policies on them, than using a private company with its own agenda.

I got one and I wasn't even on Twitter. Also all those people that say Mastodon is hard must have some severe learning disability.

I suspect the real reason is that they are afraid of losing existing followers.
