Amnesty international has been shit for a while, they have some Ws but they always help manufacture consent for war and then say “oopsie, didn’t know it wasn’t true that comically evil fabrication wasn’t true”

The prosecution of pro Palestine speech in places like Germany isn’t a fiction. The support for neocolonialism in places like France, which to this day benefits from treating former colonies like shit is also not fiction. And most of the EU is conveniently supported US foreign policy until it came to bite them in the ass with Greenland (and still generally support the US everywhere else).

Some European countries are very nice to live in, but internationally they’re not the good guys. They supported bombing Yugoslavia and Libya and now they pretend to hold space for nuance in the illegal invasion of Iran. They also supported kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela and they clearly don’t give a shit about Cuba being subjected to a genocidal blockade.

This isn’t to say Russia is better, Russia is another country with an oligarchy and they tend to be the bad guys all the time as well, the difference is that Russia does good some of the time, even if for the wrong reasons, like recently violating the US blockade of Cuba to bring them oil. I doubt they do it because they care about Cuban people, but the result is still a good one for Cubans, and it’s a whole lot more than what the EU has ever done.

Ps Snowden being alive and well in Russia for this long should tell you something else too.

That Russia understands he’s useful to undermine western soft power?

How do you realistically prevent corporate donors from being a thing when the whole government is compromised and they won’t legislate their privileges and bribes away?

It’s a very common criticism

Thanks!

They have great PR, but other than that no, unfortunately

The foot is actually symbolic for the devs stepping all over you with their opinionated design and no choices

Is any of these apps good for phone calls or video calls, or just text messages?

Oopsie, I shouldn’t have run that and destroyed production, I’m sorry

I think they’re just quoting xkcd:

I use Zed personally, it’s also annoying with the AI nonsense, but just like vscode it has a button to just disable all of it, and it’s very snappy even on my slower machines, especially compared to vscode

You see, there’s this thing called NUANCE /s

We don’t know as much about the historical Jesus as we’d like. The gospels were written a whole generation after Jesus’ death at the earliest and they’re also (obviously) not unbiased sources. Whatever conclusions we make on the historical Jesus will necessarily include many assumptions that we can’t check with evidence of any type.

Regardless, if you’re a Christian (I’m not) and you believe this truly happened as described in the gospels due to your personal faith and conviction, I find the argument for Jesus being racist very shaky anyway. He was far more religious than what modern day leftists tend to be, absolutely, but his message wasn’t conservative by any means, he was clearly some kind of revolutionary, so much so that he was killed by the Romans. Assuming that we can generally trust the gospels to record his beliefs and actions more or less faithfully, miracles aside, he seems to fall under apocalyptic Judaism. But if we can relate him to modern political movements, I’d say the closest is the religious folks in anti-colonial struggle, and now people following liberation theology.

The one and only

Do you also have Shrek

Thanks, I was so out of the loop

Copilot is the second biggest contributor lol

If your workflows are deeply integrated with them and you need to pay the actual cost of it overnight it will definitely hurt, especially if the company is big enough. But yeah, theoretically you can make new workflows again and revert all organizational changes, it’s just costly and not necessarily easy for everyone involved.

I don’t disagree with you, but good luck catching these monsters when the very same monsters run the US. It’s hard being optimistic in the short term all things considered.
