Reminds me of this article proposing that the goal is procurement capture.

It makes sense that you would want to shake things up to give yourself a way in.

When I saw the show Hamilton, George Washington was black, not sure if that’s always the case. It was a really good show.

Oh dang that’s creepy.

Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P

Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.

Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.

You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/

They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

I’ll be the first to admit that the Whitehouse’s text is written persuasively, but from what I found the ICC hasn’t claimed jurisdiction over Israel or the US despite the Whitehouse’s claims.

The Panel agrees with the Prosecutor’s assessment that the ICC has jurisdiction in relation to crimes committed on the territory of Palestine, including Gaza, since 13 June 2014, under article 12(2)(a) of the ICC Statute.3 It also agrees that the Court has jurisdiction over crimes committed by Palestinian nationals inside or outside Palestinian territory under article 12(2)(b) of the Statute. The ICC therefore has jurisdiction over Israeli, Palestinian or other nationals who committed crimes in Gaza or the West Bank. It also has jurisdiction over Palestinian nationals who committed crimes on the territory of Israel, even though Israel is not an ICC State Party.

Helping people get off of corporate social media is significantly more important to me than maintaining Lemmy’s political identity.

Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.

Interesting. This is the first I heard of Gab

The article explains some of the background to chromium which I hadn’t known.

Google’s Chrome is a freeware release with deeper ties to Google’s ecosystem, while Chromium, released at the same time as Chrome in 2008, is open source. Google has slowly loosened its de facto control of the project, particularly since 2020, allowing outside developers into its leadership, softening its stance on non-Google-derived features and opening up its “Goma” development scheme for Chromium, as detailed by CNET in 2020.

I recently started donating to Mozilla. They have been delivering a good product for a very long time, the least I can do is pay for it.
