UN security concil vetos are really interesting because it is like saying "I have nukes, and I disagree and could nuke you or we can stop this motion".

At least it can be proposed.

Oh I'm sure it will, Africa is renowned for wealth building and good stewardship of foreign investment. Nothing like a dictatorship, warlords, military juntas would pilfer funds from it first chance they got.

Good! Now we need a rule that allows up to get rid of it and make tpms cheaper to repair on old models.

Windows is great if you don't care about privacy, performance, stability, longevity, freedom, ownership, community, etc.

There's Microsoft windows and there's Linux. No single person owns Linux so there are so many different options to use (called distros) the big ones Debian, Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, Etc package open source software on top of Linux that enable you to use it as easily as possible.

To a 25yo I would say, a computer has many separate devices like USB controllers, sound devices, so many independent systems that need software to work. Such software is copyrighted, it turns out the community does not like that so they made their own that is owned by the community. Sometimes its not perfect but it also can do things you couldn't before.

Don't get two hung up on great filters. We could've easy passed a few of them in the last hundred million years. You're much more than thinking meat, you have feelings and a perspective over time. its amazing not a liability.

Even if boom over, it was loads of fun.

In this economy? I'm sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Neat! Punishing conspiracy and engineered lying is a good thing!

So underrated, Foss could burn down Visa and all it would take is Amazon or Google to champion it. % of every transaction would be saved.

Imagine if credit card fraud was actually not easy, and more importantly your spending habits were not trackable. So much targeted adverts would just die off.

Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.
