If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

So then don’t carry flour and rice, go with pemmican or something similar, high protein, high caloric, high density food.

A brick of pemmican is better than nothing, which is what they currently have.

They’re fascists, they always have an excuse. They can and did attack them under the excuse of the blockade.

I know it’s stupid, but I have this nagging thought that they should use a narco sub next time.

I know its unlikely, but I hope they make another attempt and it’s successful.

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

So it’s just a coincidence that they ended up killing their competitors? Yeah right.

Then why did they once support XMPP?

I never said defeating them or out competing them should be the goal. The goal should be the survival of services. And corporations will kill these services.

So what?

Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn’t federated with google’s XMPP back in the day, google wouldn’t have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

And for those that don’t:

Civilians are pretty much everywhere alongside Hamas members who are usually between them.

Yeah, so maybe they should stop dropping bombs.

Israeli actions wouldn’t be similar to any of them.

Not only is this not true, but even if it were, as I’ve already pointed out it doesn’t need to be similar. A genocide can be totally unique yet still fall under the definition of genocide.
