Apes are monkeys though, just like we’re apes and birds are dinosaurs

You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards

Wrong phrasing on my part.

No matter which side you ask, the Republic Of China (ROC) or the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Taiwan isn’t a country, it is a region of the country of China. Saying that Taiwan is a country satisfies neither the ROC nor the PRC’s claims

Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not “republic of taiwan” or some other thing.

Putin only exists because Russians resent the west after having been sidelined despite foregoing communism (which Gorbachev did in the hope that Russia would be able to join, and benefit from trade with, the liberal bloc)

If you think they’ll resent Putin and not the west for every minor (and some major) annoyance brought by sanctions, you are ignoring decades of policies done in the same spirit and resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect. All this does is demonstrate to the Russians that the west is indeed their enemy, and thereby reinforce Putin and the likes of him.

All sanctions do is target innocents and reinforce whatever government the US is supposedly targeting. See literally every single country sanctioned by the US.

Sure, but what they’re saying is that even a little bit of friction will make some people give up, and that kills the virality of things like social media

It’s the original English letter for th which was more or less deleted from the alphabet when imported printing press types lacked said letter.

Before it got universally replaced by th some printers used y like in “ye olde” which is really pronounced “the old”

Everyone has a VPN or can use proxies extremely easily nowadays, especially in Russia. Literally all this does is creating a precedent of a parts manufacturer (““manufacturer”” in the case of nvidia), and y’all are cheering because “fuck russians”.

All this does is creating this bad precedent while accomplishing exactly nothing

Absolutely idiotic take that endangers not only Linux but fractures the concept of open source itself.

OC finished their comment with “call me crazy” lmao

It’s not UI backsliding. It’s Microsoft being incompetent. I have no idea how they’re still in business, and astounded at their valuation. It seems like everything they manage to push out is just barely functioning

The policy isn’t there just to be extra nice, it’s because otherwise the patient dies without a liver.

Since she was too sick for a partial liver transplant, and not eligible for a dead donor full liver transplant, she would have just died.

It might seem cruel but the same is done for a lot of other procedures; if the chance of you dying in surgery is way too high, doctors won’t take the risk, they’re not executioners.

It’s not a moral judgement about her alcoholism, the same would have been true if she had a cancer no surgeon would take on.

A partial liver transplant wasn’t viable for someone this sick, so when the partial transplant failed, they would have to resort to a full transplant from a dead donor, or she would die in operation.

Since she wasn’t eligible, a partial transplant was just a death sentence.

No. A partial liver transplant wasn’t viable for someone this sick, so when the partial transplant failed, they would have to resort to a full transplant from a dead donor. But she wasn’t eligible, so a partial transplant was just a death sentence.

I’m under 30, I have no idea what winamp is but I figured it’s some music software from the skins’ pics. I imagine it was popular for it to have a museum thing about user created skins

(I haven’t googled anything yet)

I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks

A small drone like this will make home deliveries even more ecologically advantageous, far better than combustion engines or 3 ton electric vehicles

Using a mac daily for work, no it doesn’t. Some built in software features keep fucking up, external device or not. Like the “pause music” button, which stopped working entirely on my mac no matter if you press it on the builtin or external keyboard, the multi desktop which keep fucking up and putting apps on top of other apps that are fullscreen, making them barely usable…

We agree on the external device part though, it can decide to stop working with stuff you used for months for no good reason

All this on an M2 pro that came out a year ago

I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes

Why not just make a tunnel and forget the vacuum? It’s just a subway system, but it’s efficient

Edit: France & England might have dug a tunnel but Paris and London just have a subway. And train to move around the country.

Edit2: fixed wording
