aaomidi··on Norway Shrugged (2024)
I mean yeah
aaomidi··on Norway Shrugged (2024)
Property is an easy one:

Don’t tax us and we’ll bring jobs to your area.

aaomidi··on U.S. used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war
Just like how US conquered all of Vietnam and Afghanistan.

US would lose a land war with Iran. They’d lose it spectacularly too.

aaomidi··on ICE Collected Nearly 1M People's DNA Last Year–Including Young Children
We do basically have this, kinda, with not being able to discriminate based on pre-existing conditions.

The law however is only as good as it is being enforced. And if recent events is anything to go by, not having this data is generally the strongest protection.

aaomidi··on Microsoft raises Xbox prices by up to 43%
I think you're right and I think it's because Microsoft behaves a bit like PE.
aaomidi··on Canadians are leaving the country at record levels. Can anyone solve this?
Yeah the two provinces people actually want to live in.
aaomidi··on Canadians are leaving the country at record levels. Can anyone solve this?
Main thing is the US is a significantly better deal than Canada is, for an educated Canadian. And migrating to the US as an educated Canadian is very easy.
aaomidi··on Plug-in solar is coming. Plug-in batteries should follow
Literally one of the most productive states of the entire world btw
aaomidi··on Teacher arrested for clapping in opposition at an AI data center meeting
Honestly if you can’t protest at a public meeting then you dont have free speech.

The fact that someone can actually ask you to leave a public meeting like this implies some sort of weird authority that genuinely should not exist.

aaomidi··on Chat Control passed first round in EU Parliament
TBH modern dictatorships are a lot less obvious in the way you describing.

There are dictatorships, where a very select few people have absolute power, but there’s no visible dictator.

Iran is a country like this. There’s no visible dictator. It’s a game of power between the clergy, the military, and the civil government.

aaomidi··on U.S. officials believed Israel was plotting to kill Iranian negotiators
Iran has Internet access friend.
aaomidi··on Tesla allegedly in autopilot mode crashes into Texas house, woman killed
And this is why justice is done by the state and not individual families?

Also jailing basically doesn’t solve this problem?
aaomidi··on Google workspace threatening to block Firefox access
I mean the issue here is Google using its dominant power to push for a specific browser within a security software they control.

This is a difference between America and Europe in mentality towards this.

aaomidi··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
I’m not going to argue with you.

I’m going to leave a comment for others to inform themselves that you’re wrong.

aaomidi··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
Israel is committing a genocide. This is undisputed at good point.

The way I’m reading your comment is justifying that the genocide is necessary for Israel’s survival.

If that is where the pendulum is today, there’s no discussion to be had.

aaomidi··on Sweet Jeebus, macOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons from Menu Items
Right but also the first website is actually fine too and I significantly prefer mobile users not getting some weird badly thought about mobile UI.
aaomidi··on MiMo Code Is Now Released and Open-Source
What does “shamelessly forked” mean? It’s literally software meant to be forked lol
aaomidi··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
BLS was not gutted then.

I have no love for Biden. I didn’t vote for him/kamala in the last election.

However I can also recognize that these two are not the same situation.

aaomidi··on Sweet Jeebus, macOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons from Menu Items
This website is perfectly readable.
aaomidi··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
It’s not this report specifically but the other stuff the admin has done with the BLS.
aaomidi··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
This is the pathway Iran is using to provide tiered internet btw.

Just putting it out there on how quickly this tech turned against the population.

aaomidi··on Flock license plate reader wrongly linked a San Diego man to a violent crime

aaomidi··on EV Stupidity Checklist
Real vision is fucked when you can’t actually see what’s behind your car.

Cameras will prevent a lot of unnecessary property damage, and more importantly, fully mitigate risk of killing humans/animals that are behind the car and outside the field of view.

aaomidi··on Valve raises Steam Deck prices
The thing is extremely repairable! Take advantage of that :)
aaomidi··on Anna's Archive hit with $19.5M default judgment and global domain takedown order
Eh, kinda? I mean they do that then countries will work around root servers. It’s basically MAD doctrine.
aaomidi··on Anna's Archive hit with $19.5M default judgment and global domain takedown order
So far root servers haven’t done stuff to ccTLDs
aaomidi··on Anna's Archive hit with $19.5M default judgment and global domain takedown order
cTLDs do things very differently
aaomidi··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
And in fact, was how it was done.
aaomidi··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro: Major Upgrades and Linux Front and Center
> Apple only makes disposable devices now.

This is genuinely hilarious to say this with a straight face
