UN security concil vetos are really interesting because it is like saying “I have nukes, and I disagree and could nuke you or we can stop this motion”.

At least it can be proposed.

Oh I’m sure it will, Africa is renowned for wealth building and good stewardship of foreign investment. Nothing like a dictatorship, warlords, military juntas would pilfer funds from it first chance they got.

Windows is great if you don’t care about privacy, performance, stability, longevity, freedom, ownership, community, etc.

There’s Microsoft windows and there’s Linux. No single person owns Linux so there are so many different options to use (called distros) the big ones Debian, Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, Etc package open source software on top of Linux that enable you to use it as easily as possible.

To a 25yo I would say, a computer has many separate devices like USB controllers, sound devices, so many independent systems that need software to work. Such software is copyrighted, it turns out the community does not like that so they made their own that is owned by the community. Sometimes its not perfect but it also can do things you couldn’t before.

Never seen a more beautiful shiner.

Don’t get two hung up on great filters. We could’ve easy passed a few of them in the last hundred million years. You’re much more than thinking meat, you have feelings and a perspective over time. its amazing not a liability.

Even if boom over, it was loads of fun.

In this economy? I’m sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Neat! Punishing conspiracy and engineered lying is a good thing!

Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.

I would suggest avoiding anything that is a “community” or “personal use only”. If its not fully open its not worth it.

BWAHAAHAH

Debian is already easy out of the box.

Chromium instead of Firefox? The gate is wide open, but if that’s the first selling point, your mind is the prison.

Ick. No person would be happy within a 20km radius of her.

“Aint nothing but a heartache” “Tell me why” spastic crying

“Reginald, Get me a new whimsical office boy!”

“Yes, master”

In my experience the outfits target schools to exploit the children’s relationships and free labor with family. We are talking incredibly low quality junk you cannot find at stores or really even online.

At my school the goal was to sell like $1000 worth a crap to get a limo ride to a local restaurant.

6,7,8 year old etc do not have a value of wealth. “Oh daddy/mommy/grandpa, I really really want the limo ride” etc.

There’s no legitimate reason for such a thing to exist other than pure exploitation. After experiencing that I would demand to opt out for my children.

60 minutes had a story on how a large chunk of relief funds get defrauded and sent overseas with stolen personal information from people who need it most.

Large sums of money, perfect target for DOGE? No he got a jet so international crime rings can rake in the dough 10x.

That’s the best thing about satire, it’s true to life.

Too much money in the long end of the stick.

Wow, only exactly what was going to happen and they probably sold said information. People don’t understand KYC/AML exchanges are literally cancer for security. Often if the government knows, EVERYONE knows what you have and therefore scammers, robbers, sluthes, etc can dox you. Its not paranoia its an excel sheet. It’s liquid gold on the Internet.

“Oh but its the law” not my point. If criminals can prove there’s gold in your house and it will pay off, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
