Cute, but what problem does this solve? Regardless of what you feel about any particular platform, consolidating multiple pieces of functionality into the highly integrated smartphone platform was a major step forward in mobility. This just feels like a regression.

It’s nonsense statements like this that should provide the answer to OP’s question. When push came to shove in WW2, liberalism in the US, UK, and elsewhere sided with communism against fascism.

There are references in other reporting to a broadcast by Iranian state media. It’s of course in Farsi so I’m having trouble finding it let alone reading it.

I advise caution with Hersh’s reporting. It was weak to begin with, relying on a single source. It’s not improved at all since publication, with no one coming forward even anonymously to corroborate the claims. Seymour Hersh has published important stories, but he’s gotten sloppy with this one.

Why does it sound fake? Iran’s made its position on Israeli athletes quite clear. It will not allow its athletes to compete with Israeli athletes.

They’ve filed a lawsuit. That should bring intervention.

Ministry of Truth Social, of course.

Didn’t Trump already claim the Orwellian social media company name? The one where you get your turds (or whatever they call them) deleted for contradicting Dear Leader?

This feels like it’s it more than anything. We’re still dealing with much the same brains that we had when the printing press was invented. Not too long ago, most people were living in small villages and knew little of the outside world. Now with everything online, our world has gotten much bigger. Of course we’re going to struggle to keep up with the vast influx of information.

Have you tried Axios? Their model breaks down into a front page of headline, photo, caption, and under a minute of reading. There is then a link to a short article that is geared towards being easy to skim.

Axios has this formalized in a style they call “Smart Brevity”. I’ve started using it in some cases and it really does improve readability. Their own use case is breaking down complex and evolving news stories, but it applies to a lot of situations.

Exactly!

No, it was running Linux.

Thug for hire is more like it. And now Wagner is exporting it to Africa, thugging it up for dictators, military or otherwise.

The other double edged quality is that businesses may be more hesitant to hire anyone who is seen as risk if protections are too strong. Take France, where the youth unemployment rate is chronically around 18%. Some find work in the informally economy, where paradoxically they have even fewer protections.

The X1 Carbon as far as I know has a replaceable SSD. My understanding with the RAM is that it enables lower energy usage.

I feel like that’s a pretty widely recognized one…

Lemmy devs may have controversial political views, but their software is written with a good intention. KiwiFarms on the other hand use it to target instances.

Not just that, in all interactions with them, I’ve never found the devs to be anything but respectful.

I don’t want that. WWW is not intended for that.

Okay, then links awaits you. I’d rather use something that enables powerful in-browser web applications while not relying on a host of proprietary bug ridden plugins.

If most of what you want out of the web is browsing static web pages, halting development of standards is fine. But if you want to expose capabilities through the browser like location that are available on new platforms instead of relying on platform-specific apps, you’re going to need new features.
