Because he’s arguing the work is happening, just slowly and is not just a way to funnel and steal money? The opposite of the comment he’s replying to?

The entire web is built on standardized e2e encryption schemes fought for by techie nerds so that we don’t have these problems there.

I don’t understand why you’d use GDP here. Is the assumption that, normalized for currency differences, all countries have the same gdp? That’s not true.

I think argued earlier that tue money goes less far in the us because the cost of living is higher, so then normalize by cost or standard of living? But even that would assume that the average wage in the country is supporting the same lifestyle in both Russia and the us. Which it isn’t. Some countries live “better” than others.

I think raw numbers are probably best here. 100 trillion in military spending is 100 trillion.

I think they’re probably more worried about the us invading them. We’re the ones who’ve been invading countries most in the past 100 years, not china.

This is exactly what he was saying though, isn’t it? Biden literally used the sotu a few weeks ago to publically call them clowns and you just ignored it. You have a narrative in your head you want to be true, so you’ll seek out whatever you need to make it that way. It’s a waste of time to pursue your vote. It’s already decided.

All those people who told me they voted for him because he was rich and therefore couldn’t be bought seem to have gone very quiet.

And a bunch of poor people paying his and his billionaire friends bills for them.

This version naming is hrllaripusly awful. “It works on rotund tundra, but not alpine fresh. Hope that helps!”

Windows tends to work with ever you throw at it though. Plug it in and somehow it will find a way to work.

Why would sa make a deal with him? It would have to be secret and there’s zero chance he would abide by it later. If he wins and they kill him its a war. If he loses they’ve bought nothing anyway…

You see this thinking in science too. Dark matter has always struck me as an awful solution to a model breaking down. It’s basically “the numbers don’t add up so let’s add a fudge factor to make it say what we want”. But you’re generally considered a kook for questioning it now. People will spout a bunch of big words and hope you shut up if you do.

Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.

Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I’m not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.

I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.

That’s literally the same thing the us government is doing here…

There’s no technical reason you can’t delete an image that’s been replicated. There’s an API to replicate the data, there can also be apis to delete the replicas (and apparently there are?)

There’s no reason a state can’t make that decision. You didn’t even make an argument. Just made a statement.

Ideally you’d just challenge a ruling like that and have it thrown out for being meritless and the judge who made it sanctioned. But the supreme court has ruled that judges have absolute immunity for their actions no matter how corrupt, so the best you can do is vote them out of office and then do nothing to them like we’re doing here.

The justice system is more concerned with protecting itself than justice and it’s the supreme court that’s been heading that boat for the last 200 years.

Still that doesn’t make their argument not stupid as hell. They have chances to fix it here and just refuse to admit that there’s a problem.

Isn’t this in violation of the gdpr?

I am too. Is the agreement to charge per mb downloaded? Do they not have some sort of "turn it off if I hit this max?* feature?

I usually avoid hosting solutions like this just because of this shit. I wanna know how much I’ll owe before the month starts even. Anything else feels like gambling.
