Even if it wasn’t for all the other instances already mentioned, there were quite a few muslim combat interpreters that fought with the US troops in Afghanistan etc. only to be left behind and they sure as fuck got killed.

…them and their families.

Holodomor, and the details are not quite the same. The end result will be though, if anyone survives at all this time around.

Whatever the darker spots at the end of the gravel are is one of the only standouts that’s a real photo. Also realistic weathering to this degree is hard to do.

There are some of us with no inner vision who do enjoy reading too though, you know?

Not all of us have the ability to see what we read, i.e., aphantasia.

I love to read though. All day long if I can. Also in the top 0.1% when it comes to reading speed. Guess why? Nothing wrong with my comprehension either.

Best guess would probably be all of them.

I live in Finland using Android on a Nokia and I can switch Gemini off completely and choose to use the old Google Assistant instead. It did initially appear out of nowhere when they patched it in, but I could immediately turn it off with the same prompt that the other guy also got.

If it’s unavoidable it seems to be an US only thing atm.

…and if nothing else, documenting what is being done, if it will ever come to a point where it can be turned around.

There’s a reason the Nazis paved over and planted fucking trees on as many concentration camps they possibly could before they got overrun.

I agree wholeheartedly and I also signed late while being Finnish.

As someone looking at this from the outside (and also with an interest in space) the saddest part for me personally has been the decline of NASA. I’m doubtful they will ever get back the prestige they once held after all is said and done. I hope I’m wrong but… yeah.

Also while I’m on the topic - I have my doubts about the chances of a long term program successful enough to compete in Europe and that only really leaves one major player left on the field: China. Everyone else will presumably be playing catch-up in the foreseeable future unless something drastic happens.

…and with the probable war we are about to have on our hands it’s even worse. So much for science.

From what I’ve gathered here and elsewhere they never really went full throttle on all that stuff for most of us here in the EU.

Now don’t get me wrong, W11 is utter shite, and I had to essentially build a new computer from scratch to even get it running properly, but I still haven’t seen any ads or any other bullshit like that.

This is exactly why my old computer is merrily running Mint, and it likes it.

Edit: If it wasn’t for the fact that I happen to primarily use Cinema 4D for work I wouldn’t even have bothered, probably. Relearning 20+ years of software flow for the other options seemed silly at the time, but I would’ve reconsidered had I known what a mess W11 would become for me and in general.

I agree. He’s a major problem, no question about it. Not only because of the drugs either, but in general. The damage he’s done to your country is measured in lives lost, not money, in my opinion. The money part is just the tip of the iceberg in his case.

To be fair we all love our drugs. Unless you like to be sober, that’s cool too.

Edit: Musk is a piece of shit either way, no excuses there.

More disappointed than surprised but still…

Jfc.

I sure as fuck will complain about it. Not only that but I’ll actively fight it in any way I can. Masking up in public and never entering corporate hellholes is a good start. 2020 made it a lot easier.

Why you accept such conditions are beyond me except that they probably involve you getting paid for it and think that makes it worth it. Fuck that. It’s serfdom with a fancy title.

Fair enough, I see your point.

Ah, so it’s all fun and games as long as you’re the one watching. Who watches you?

No, apparently it’s even worse; woke!

_:DDDD

The most interesting part of that chart in my opinion is that they seem to have 16 persons in prison for unknown reasons. I’m assuming there are some sort of national security involved or perhaps crimes of such a weird nature they have no definition for it. In that case though, what the hell did the last 10 persons do? :D

Sounds like a stealth insult to bleached Wookies, somehow.
