Lets do Taiwan and Georgia next!

This needs more nato, you can barely see it

Yeah we should have, after promising Russia not to expand Nato “one inch to the east”, almost IMMEDIATELY expanded Nato to the east. And then within 14 years be at their border. That would have destabilized the situation much more. If we only had done that! My point is that whatever we did to get to this point, we just should have done more of it.

Luckily we now get the war that was promised! And luckily we also get to do the exact same thing again with China and Taiwan! How great is that?

And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!

Don’t do it… since God is infallible any contradiction would negate all of existence!

This assumes rewritable media, of course… because we need feature parity.

I’d be fine without, if you can just append records to overwrite or delete previous files. For backup or long term storage RW doesn’t matter that much. Or at least, I’d much rather have a cheaper non rewritable disc with a capacity like this.

I think people are going a bit overboard with the reddit hate. I used the site for over a decades, learned a lot and had a lot of laughts and fun and gripes. To want to “burn it down” now because of api and ai stuff is understandable, but seems just vindictive. What public good is supposed to be achieved with this?

Using IP laws to legislate this could also lead to disastrous consequences, like the monopolization of effective AI. If only those with billions in capital can make use of these tools, while free or open source models become illegal to distribute, it could mean a permanent power grab. If the capitalists end up controlling the “means of generation” and we the common folk can’t use it.

But aren’t these key pairs generated per session and/or per contact? So once you switch to a more secure / auditable client this only matters when communicating with people on whatsapp. But they presumably have a backdoor in their app for the NSA anyway.

Even if you can just add to it, you could have some sort of journalism file system to replace or delete previous files in newer records.

I mean “federate” with whatsapp. Apparently there is a bridge https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow

Yeah this is very stupid. But I never liked Signal anyway.

Is there a matrix protocol based app that is planning to “federate”?

Ghostery works too for me

Not sure what you mean, of course WhatsApp can disable it’s own encryption. That would be an argument for open source third party apps and interoperability.

This is such blatant propaganda

An attack by Yemeni Houthi rebels

The Houthi are the ruling regime in Yemen, not rebels. This is a way to make them sound illegitimate. I don’t like them at all but they did oust foreign imperial powers from their country (Saudi Arabia and the USA).

They claim to be acting over Israel’s war targeting Hamas in the Gaza Strip, however they have frequently targeted vessels with tenuous or no clear links to Israel

They are trying impose sanctions against Israel and say they will stop as soon as there is a ceasefire. They are doing this to win domestic support.

I really wish more countries would impose sanctions against Israel.

Again they are pretty bad islamists and apparently pretty incompetent, but the overall framing here is propaganda.

License to kill

I wonder how something like that can be constitutional lol. Just take that paper and wipe your ass with it already :D Trump should issue a new constitution branded toilet paper, I bet the morons would buy it!

There are very fine bullshits on both sides

Hmm 😇 The afterlife might be a good way to make it up. Have you seen “The Good Place”?
