Honestly it’s the same here in France, and I suspect everywhere… Most people only give a shit about criminal/immoral behavior from the elite if it confirms their political bias. If it’s their guy they’ll wring their hands for a couple of seconds and go “oh well, what can you do? They’re all the same anyways”, or even outright defend them.
Valve also needed to break its dependency on Windows, in case MS decides to go down the walled garden route like Apple. MS making the windows store the only supported way to install apps and games would be devastating for Valve.
Vapes don’t produce smoke but vapor, i.e. nothing “burns”. And inhaling smoke is by far the most harmful aspect of using cigarettes.
Not saying nicotine or vaping is harmless, but I’d be very surprised if vaping turns out to be as dangerous as smoking.
Maybe at first, yeah. But in 50 years, when almost nobody under 60 smokes and it’s prohibited everywhere, who would go out of their way to start this particular habit?
As a lifelong smoker, one of the hardest hurdle to quitting is going out, having a couple of drinks, then seeing other people smoke and resisting the urge to go buy an easily available pack.
They tried, the offer was rejected, so they came up with this alternative. Wikipedia has all the info if you want to know more.
Good question. From what I gather from infowar’s wikipedia article I guess it will be paid to infowar’s parent company which owns the IP. Before The Onion showed interest in acquiring infowars, the company was supposed to be liquidated with most of the proceeds going to the Sandy Hook families.
The New York times article actually says $81,000:
On Monday, Mr. Milligan asked Maya Guerra Gamble, a judge in Texas’ Travis County District Court overseeing the disposition of Infowars, to approve that licensing agreement in a court filing. Under the terms, The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, would pay $81,000 a month to license Infowars.com and its associated intellectual property — such as its name — for an initial six months, with an option to renew for another six months.
There’s the child-raping, and then there’s the whole barreling towards a cyberpunk hellhole that Trump and the heritage foundation are engineering. This doesn’t seem like a difficult choice to make, I honestly can’t understand these people.
“se planter” is yet another meaning of the word, it’s slang for “make a mistake” or “have an accident” (usually involving a vehicle). E.g.:
Je me suis planté à mon examen de maths
Je me suis planté en moto
The fact Iran even entertained him this long is the only reason he has power at all.
That, and the colossal firepower of the US military.
Yeah I think it’s like “this guy that we suspect of being a drug dealer uses grapheneOS, which proves that he’s a drug dealer”.
he is making up a story for the Internet.
Or for his wife. “I swear babe, I thought it was only like, 5 beers! Oh well, now that we paid for it…”
They have testimonies going back decades if they had wanted to look into it they would have by now
Don’t get me wrong, he’s scum, but he’s an experienced director with several well-received movies under his belt. Both can be true.
Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn’t manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.
what does the new shiny android version has that is worth it?
oems that have shit QA
That’s it in a nutshell. Recent Android versions added really nice features and APIs that app devs won’t bother implementing for a while, because even for the small percentage of users running recent Android versions, OEMs always find clever ways to fuck up their implementation of said APIs.
IIRC It was newsmaxx or some other propaganda outlet.
I’ve seen one today: “Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn’t work!”. Dude, he wasn’t mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn’t the problem here…
Exactly. Mamdani came prepared, and Trump was caught off guard by how nice and eloquent the dangerous communist was.
It was actually worse until they open sourced their drivers.
