Imagine opposing a genocide only because of horse race politics

is too politically hog-tied to back out of existing deals.

He is ignoring US laws about supplying arms to countries plausibly accused of genocide. He's suppressing career bureaucats' assessments of israeli conduct. He's the one doing the hogtying

This could still be a turning point,

It wasn't. The quote is from back in May, when Biden lied about having a red line about Raffa

Oh shit. Nobody tell congress or else they're gonna ban linux

On the hardware level, it will take a while. In the software level, I don’t think it will ever happen.

I'm no computer engineer, but this seems like a silly take. Hardware requires supply chains and some of the most closely guarded technology in the world. Software requires programmers and time.

the Linux Kernel, the GNU stuff, the systemd stuff, the Freedesktop specifications, Xorg if they still use it, wayland protocols and wlroots, are all developed by people from The West,

Literally anyone can download those things and fork them. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's already chinese contributors. And if China really wanted, they could even ignore the GPL and not publish their changes to the source code 😲

Not everyone can download extreme UV lithography.

Because of propaganda, people find it easier to imagine the end of the world before the end of capitalism. Just the same, theres lots of commenters here that could imagine the end of the internet before they imagine the end of advertising on the internet.

Pay executives less. Focus on grants and PBS-style 'underwriting'. Subscription services like email and VPN.

Getting into advertising is just jumping into an intractable conflict of interest.

It means he can't go to Israel

That can't be it. Of course the foreign intelligence headquarters were built with all sorts of security in mind.

Long dresses, leggings, tight sweaters, scarves, and really all the other cold accessories (cute gloves, hat, boots, etc.). In some ways I find it easier to dress in a gender affirming way when it's cold.

Of course I'm saying all that knowing I'm just gonna wear a big hoody and jeans all winter
