The company “was once forced to close down, like other companies across a number of industries, because it could not compete against large quantities of goods that China was exporting at artificially depressed prices,” Yellen said.

regardless of what you think of him, Deng Xiaoping was the guy in a way that pretty much no other human is gonna be for the unfolding of the 21st century

this is some of the wackiest Zionist bullshit I’ve seen of all time, what the entire fuck

Whether or not this is true, which I’m not going to address, DPRK is 1) not a settler colonial state, 2) not doing apartheid, and 3) not in the process of growing their own borders into neighboring territory, which are three very large and important differences to consider no matter how you feel about DPRK

don’t we more or less know that this happened to hundreds of Israelis?

this is just how it’s supposed to go when you have a thing like the Hannibal Directive

why even bother denying the apartheid allegations? Just own it Bibi, it’s not like anyone will hold you accountable

imagine a world more complicated than a good guys/bad guys dichotomy

give us one singular solitary good reason we should have empathy for this decrepit, cheating, silver spoon mouthed, tax leeching, sex pest, waste of money and attention

I kind of think you’d have a different tune if this were Putin to be honest, wanna talk about why? In my mind, all of the appeals to civility are just status quo worship veiled in “human decency” that 1) doesn’t consider the good that would be brought to the world by his passing and 2) isn’t extended to anyone outside of the status quo power structure.

who could have seen this coming? surely not the south Vietnamese, the south Koreans, or any of the other militaries the united states propped up until it became clear that they weren’t going to win

Not only is @jacksilver@lemmy.world right, but additionally, this article is extremely biased in favor of Xorg and is much more of a (completely unfair and one-sided) take-down of Wayland oriented at technical folks and not at all an explainer for laypeople

There’s one key thing that he also said he wouldn’t let stop him:

I wonder why they left out of the headline that he also said that he wouldn’t let The Hague stop him 🤔

isn’t most bot manipulation on twitter from liking, viewing, and re-tweeting content? i.e. things that this change does nothing to combat?

tell me I did not just look this thing up and see a barrel jack power port 🤢

my 2017 laptop charges by USB-C, this hardware looks gorgeous in every other way but the only excuse for a barrel jack is if you need to move more than 100 watts, and even that last holdout for the barrel jack is dated

It can charge by USB-C apparently, but the barrel jack is still there 😔

This is the better way to write the law of course, but the ham-fisted way it’s proposed by Rishi would look more like what I wrote, because he said specifically that the age should rise one year every year.

This is an amazing, for the sole reason that everyone who is 17 and change now will turn 18, be able to smoke, the law will bump to 19, they won’t be allowed to smoke any more, but then they’ll turn 19 and they’ll be able to smoke again until the law raises to 20…

Frankly, it’s a great way to rule on such an important lawsuit if you’re the one with the most bribe money. That’s why the system is so great, for people with the most bribe money.

fun little nugget of wisdom I uncovered reading about this, the Wikipedia page on Glyphosphate cites this metareview, the only metareview it cites finding that glyphosphate is not carcinogenic.

Look who wrote it.

and before you “b-but that’s whataboutism” me, is it not the real whataboutism to be worrying about the “disturbing” jump in youth suicide in China when America’s jump over a similar timespan is just past five times larger?

Ukraine only does good things. If it appears that Ukraine might have done a bad thing, it’s best to keep scrolling, it’s most likely you just misread the headline.

I hate the culture of downvoting for simple questions that might seem obvious. If you’re lurking and reading this, stop doing that.

My understanding is that no ISP makes it public that they block a large number of sites despite the fact that they are currently technically allowed to do so, but there are a number of isolated incidents of small and short-term access issues that may charitably be mistakes, and also throttling on a site-by-site basis does definitely exist and is employed by a number of ISPs. This regulation does more preventing a backslide into corporate rule and less uplifting our current conditions.
