The person I was responding to was declaring that their choice to use an Android based phone makes them a more ethical consumer, and therefore a better person, then iPhone users.
That’s an absurd position, which was what my comment was highlighting.
How about you just don’t act high and mighty and pretend that your personal consumer choice of using an Android based OS somehow make you more ethical then those who use an iPhone.
Oh that’s fantastic.
Can you please tell me you’re entirely ethical smartphone setup?
Obviously you won’t have any Android in there, including Android ROMs which are based off of AOSP, as Google is just as, if not more, evil than Apple, and any project based off Google’s OS is inherently unethical.
Are you’re using a Fair Phone? If not, what ethical phone are you using?
And for your OS, is Sailfish or Ubuntu Touch?
Not yet.
For starters, you can’t even spell québécois with the real American alphabet.
Their use of tidles alone is just cause for annexation and reeducation.
How about we just take Quebec off your hands?
Now, that’s the art of the deal, problem solved.
Unless you live in Quebec, then my condolences because it’s about to get real rough for you.
I went to their about us page expecting to see at least one Vietnamese American.
Nope, all wealthy white people.
Maybe they are a group of well meaning individuals, I don’t know, as I didn’t look past that page.
But… If their entire purpose is advocacy for, and about, Vietnam, you would think they would want at least someone from the region on their core leadership team…
Most successful assassin in modern history, maybe all of history?
He killed Abe for his UC ties, and a short few years later, no more Japanese UC.
Has any other politically motivated assassination so directly, and spectacularly, achieved it’s aims?
Well, yeah.
Europe is continent sized piece of land. Russian tanks rolling into Moldova is a bit different than Poland, or Germany.
Different politically, militarily, and strategically.
Even then, I can’t see Putin biting off any more at this particular moment. Time will tell if Trump significantly eases sanctions to a degree that would enable him to speedily recapitialize.
Of course, I didn’t believe he’d actually try and take Kiev, so I’m not going to sit here and cosplay as a Kreminologist.
That is beyond an incredibly generous interpretation of their comment. In fact, that would have been a reasonable comment to make. But again, that wasn’t what they said.
Google is only useful for local shopping results, and even that is barely true anymore. I can’t recall the last time they returned a relevant result for any other type of search query.
The first half of the page is AI/ads, and the rest is SEO optimized trash.
Using udm=14 just means the result page has more room for SEO garbage.
A long history of military dictatorships, followed by the many flavors of Peronism, is actually how Argentina managed to downgrade themselves from developed economy, to a developing one. Which is also what created the conditions that swept the current government to power.
I’m not saying the current administration is helping the situation, just that their economic policies have continued a long standing tradition of gross economic mismanagement.
"Google Quantum AI"
No. Just no.
Money isn’t the issue, at least not a real limiting issue. Any major European leader crying about it, should go suck on a tailpipe.
The real limiting factors are existing European stockpiles, and limited industrial capacity for things like high volume munition and artillery shell production.
Did you mean to send that reply to me?
I ask because I’m not quite sure what specific suggestions you’re looking for.
But in general, I would suggest not exposing port forwarding.
What services are running behind NGINX? What router/firewall are you using?
They are frequently targeted because they offer enterprise grade configurations at consumer prices.
Which means, there’s a lot that can be misconfigured, and a lot of short staffed and under budgeted IT departments that deploy them, which means they are a good payoff when exploited.
That’s the bad part, and the good part.
You really cannot beat their price point to value for professional grade networking equipment. Just take the time to understand what you’re doing when doing your configurations, and keep them updated.
Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.
I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.
I’ve come across many a users here who don’t know VOA is US State Department propaganda.
In the literal sense, it is an organization funded fully by the US government with the purpose of publishing information that is helpful towards their policy objectives.
That doesn’t mean they’re spreading lies, or somehow equivalent to RT, it’s just a statement of fact. It is the organization’s purpose.
As to your question, maybe they intentionally degraded the quality or substituted a synthetic image for counterintelligence purposes, or maybe it’s just a bad photo, I don’t know.
That’s why humans have brains, for situational awareness.
And it’s less about not breaking for an animal, as it is about not wildly swerving.
Also, you should probably revise your thinking on this before you visit any states that have large animals like Moose on the roads. Because if you plow into one with a car, it can easily kill you when it crushes you after impact.
Using Google products is implicit support for Google.
Which, by the way, I understand, but if you actually read the comments from top to bottom, you would have grasped the context.
So tell me you didn’t actually read the comment thread without telling me.
