🧐 hmmmmmmm

TFW preacher (almost) realises organised religion is predominately about control structures and centralising power, not helping people.

Thanks for that! Sounds like SEAT and Cupra (both have Volkswagen Group as their parent companies) are also affected - I wonder when this will spread to other Volkswagen & Porche-owned brands. What a terrible move for consumer choice/security/etc.

I'm no environmental sciencetist but I'm 40% sure that's a fish.

Maybe, the technical explanation is hopefully forthcoming. The article (which I will concede doesn't seem super professional) explicitly says "banned by Volkswagen", which is what I'm curious about.

You dropped this, king.

This is very odd, agree with the devs. Seems like a very aggressive action and with no reasoning behind it?

I wonder what the real story is.. What had GrapheneOS enabled (or blocked) on user phones that got their executives so pissed they'd explicitly block GrapheneOS users from their apps?

Don't praise this shit. No government should be putting people to death, there is far too much potential for abuse and literal libraries full examples of mistakes being made.

The people put to death in Chinese cases are quite often middle-men, bag holders. While the politically-protected people who made the real decisions pay a fine, get jail time, or if they have enough political pull.. just go free.

Even in the most high profile case like the Chinese milk scandal (where the CCP believed they had to take extreme actions to clamp down on tainting food and damaging the country's image) one of the worst offenders, Sanlu Group - got off lightly. The local party honcho CEO whom was well aware of the tainting and sanctioned it got a fine and jail, as did several other executives of the board - but a couple of middle managers at the milk plant who iirc directed staff to mix in the melamine got death sentences, even though they were just doing what their bosses asked. Justice? BS. Just more political puppetry and an isolated elite.

If you read the article you'd know that they specifically chose The Netherlands because the The Hague is in The Netherlands..

The Netherlands was the only country to offer to host the court, and it was presumed to be the correct place in which to hold proceedings, given The Hague also hosts the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.

This would be far more accurately titled as 'returns to' given FDRs New Deal and the fact that 99% of socialist policies enacted over the last century are from the Democrats, instead of the inflammatory weasel-wording 'what if socialism takes over' like it's some kind of coup.

It might be some dumb play to drum up clicks from right-wing people who have never seen a Jacobin article I guess, but it puts off their base, and looking through the article.. it doesn't hide its socialist-positive bias at all even from the first few sentences, so I kinda doubt that intent. Just dumb.

New electric car rival offers 2000KWh engine and tight styling. Comes with no batteries or wheels.

Would an article ever run like this? This is a combo deal on a motherboard & gfx card. Not sure how it became a 'Steam Machine rival'.
