yeah most companies don’t even bother with the courtesy email anymore

The way that normally works is that the US will isolate a country that can’t fight back and then commit war crimes there for decades because it’s a good profit vehicle for the military industry. They control the level of escalation, and they’re able to turn heat up when they want or to cool things down when they need to.

The difference with Iran is that it’s not isolated, and it’s able to fight back in a meaningful way. The US does not have escalatory dominance in this conflict. And that’s a whole new development for the burger reich.

not to mention that Iran is systematically destroying US radars across the region as we speak

Indeed, a lot of the US capabilities and limitations are being revealed now. I’d also be shocked if China wasn’t quietly testing stuff like radars in Iran to see if they can detect US stealth jets for example.

You’d think the US would’ve already been learning these lessons in Ukraine, but evidently they were not. And this is the first time the US got itself into a war where it does not control escalation. I don’t see why Iran would settle for anything less than pushing the US out of the region entirely at this point.

The crazy part here is that NATO evidently hasn’t learned anything at all over past 4 years.

I’m really excited to play it. I’m going through Planet of Lana 2 right now, and this one’s next on my list. Good to hear it’s a lot like DE in a fantasy setting.

Yeah, I just randomly ran across it and was like this looks amazing.

the thermal paint idea is cute though

Thermal paint is very much a new development.

but pedantry is alive and well

Exactly, when you dig into all the complaints people have about this tech, they’re ultimately just symptoms of the underlying capitalist relations.

cause it’s a mechanical turk

reverse engineering this stuff is pretty challenging unfortunately

For most use cases though, you don’t really have much of a benefit of running Linux over Android on a phone though. There’s enough Linux compatibility on Android already to make it work seamlessly with your Linux devices. In my opinion, as long as the stack is open source and well supported, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s Android or Linux based.

It would’ve been a cool world if we got Linux that could work seamlessly between desktop and mobile. Imagine if you had architecture where apps were built as services with an API, and then you could connect either desktop or mobile UI to them. Heck, at that point you could even make custom UIs across apps, or pipe them together the way you do with shell scripts. And then you could also have a device like a phone which has all your apps and data, and you could plug it into a dock with more memory, GPU, etc. So, you wouldn’t have to juggle a bunch of devices and sync data between them.

Is it oversampling or just the fact there are a lot of users from China?

You can install Google app store in a container, and all the apps I’ve used work fine on it out of the box. It absolutely works fine as a daily driver.

I’d argue that Graphene is a better thing since it’s based on an OS that’s been designed for mobile from the ground up. I expect it’s going to be a while before Linux UX on mobile catches up to desktop, but Graphene works great already.
