I like how the broke the India-Pakistan ceasfire violations of a year in only a few days.

Wasn’t Forbes also the one who made a recent article about dealing with crappy wages and inflation by skipping breakfast/lunch to cut costs?

Or maybe that was Bloomberg

Sometimes I wish someone would make a an Arch box and come back to it years later to see the updates it has missed.

But that’s assuming an Arch box would be reliable enough to stay alive that long lol.

Always heard of 20+ year old bsd and debian machines chugging along with no issue.

From the telegraph article:

Imran Khan has been granted bail by a Pakistani court for one of the cases against him but the ex-prime minister is likely to remain in jail because of a host of other charges.

On Wednesday, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, of the Islamabad High Court, accepted the former cricketer’s bail plea in a trial relating to alleged illegal sale of state gifts.

But there was “no chance” of his release because of at least eight other charges against him, Pakistan’s information minister said.

“Release for him is not possible; there are many other cases he needs to secure bail in,” Attaullah Tarar told Pakistani media.

Mr Tarar added that the eight other charges related to the “mayhem” of May 9 2023, when Khan’s supporters rioted and stormed the Pakistani army’s headquarters in response to his arrest.

Seems like something brewing behind the scenes after the US election considering they were stalling all these cases since August last year.

Dunno how but it seems to be some autoimage that matched for “bail” lol

DSLinux

Just use OpenSUSE

The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

XFCE + Compiz

The unholy combination of accelerated 3D graphics and performance, all without the stupid drawbacks of wayland.

Runs much lighter than KDE even with all the 3D cube and windows stuff enabled.

Extremely customizable as well. XFCE already does a great job of UI/UX, it just lacks a compositor to add flare (xfwm4 has no animations, only some blur effects).

I don’t mind when people eat fast food, but I do get annoyed when people brag about eating fast food.

Especially now that prices have inflated so it’s no longer corporate factory machine cheap.

There are so many random food places even in the most rundown parts of a city that have both much better quality and bang for buck.

I’d even argue you’re not getting an authentic philly cheese if you get it from a place that’s not in the ghetto or has been advertised online in any capacity. And the funny thing is the real one is usually cheaper too.

They already lived through 4 years of Trump and have decided it is worth doing it again instead of letting the party most currently responsible for said genocide to win.

Point being that Harris has outright refused to meet any sort of demands on Israel. There was no reduction in arms nor any restrictions placed on Israel, and Harris fully intends to continue that policy.

If she loses, it means that she failed to meet her constituents demands, which means they’d have to actually meet them in the next election to win.

Also because I have a hard time seeing how anyone who lost entire family trees would listen to “uM AkShuLly TrUmP woUld bE 9999x WorSe, wE jUst NeEd tO ProTest aFTER tHe ELeCTion” as if we didn’t just full send billions of dollars in munitions and weapons to Israel.

I like how Pakistan is striped as if they didn’t just throw away billions of dollars of chinese investments for some IMF loans because the US told them to lol.

Also Afghanistan being green which actually happened right before Pakistan’s thing

EDIT: Also India which always gets refused US arm tech sales because they exclusively buy from Russia lol. It’s like enemy of my enemy but also friend of my other enemy.

Depends. I’ve reccomened this before too, but I keep both world and ml “World News” communities because even though they’re defederated, having both seems to encompass a better range of sources and topics.

I mean it was the NSA that sat on eternal blue for something like 10 years.

And just seeing the defaults on Active Directory would make anyone believe they pay Microsoft to keep windows insecure.

Can’t wait to run NSA SElinux on a Chinese OEM RISC-V machine in the future.

Double the security

…

Or maybe double the backdoors lmao

Pakistan will happily sell the info and tech you need, you just gotta bribe the right people lol.

That’s how Iran and NK allegedly got their start.

Just make sure the US doesn’t get wise or you’ll get regime changed.

You’d have to pay KSA double their oil money to take Palestine.

Probably better luck convincing Egypt or Iraq to take if we’re actually gonna go down this utterly stupid route.

Also Hamas doesn’t even have proper C&C. On top of the reality thay this isn’t a videogame, practically nothing will change.

I just browse “All” and I keep getting slapped with “Kamala actually cares about Gaza and understands the complexities of the situation so plz vote plz I beg we need this so bad no don’t go actually look at the ongoing genocide just plz vote” posts

Breaking the rules to demonstrate how this looks dumb

Don’t top post.

The former members of SEATO can tell you how well that went for them lol.

They actually did until it backfired on them and now Iran is ultra conservative and the only Middle East nation not a shill state.
