PENGWINGS!

Because it doesn't include the other widely reported quotes about 80% of victims being injured by gunfire not crush injuries.

Selection and omission of quotes is absolutely a form of bias.

If it isn't evidenced it's not a fact. If it's not a fact you're editorialising.

There are sometimes reasons not to evidence a statement. But a disputed statement is not something which should get included in a news article.

Having the kitchen half staffed but spreading the customers out so they still get the same revenue is what they were aiming for.

It's a "fuck you" and "fuck our employees" policy.

Yeah, Manzat really ruined the rainbow. Made it all about cities.

And in Burma there's that child eating thing.

And in Albania the whole trans folk tradition from 6 centuries ago. With the Catholic saint of St. Anne.

Why can't we go back to pre-culture days when Humans didn't use any symbolism, or meaning, or anything.

Fedora 40 (KDE) branched has it. Working great.

Current final release scheduled for 16th April.

So if you want to try it out. Get the branched Fedora release. Note: Currently pre-beta by about a week. At own risk.

Also some good stuff with AMD support and Wayland too.

Any time you want to leap on early the Fedora branched release is available and with update policy that will become beta and then stable Fedora 40 automatically.

Absolutely. The reason these things don't last is because it's not worth the investment to redevelop and maintain.

I'm just pointing out that's the reason to move to where there is investment and sustainability in the product.

Firefox cut funding for maintaining an option due to low usage. Speculative investment in a replacement fell flat.

Google cuts investment for the same reasons and that happens often. They speculate on a new product then cut it if it doesn't work out for them.

Neither company doing this is a bad thing.

The problem most people have is they are late to move to a mature product, which then having reached maturity is assessed as either a success or failure. Then due to low usage it's cut.

Then they're looking for the next mature product. Again ignoring sustainability. Which is then also cut.

And as a bonus you snagged firstnamelastname without realising.

This alone makes Gmail a better service than most providers. All of the similar but different address confusions avoided.

It really should be standard practice.

Portugal. They've essentially been doing this for years.

Drugs are decriminalised and in themselves legal.

It's still technically a crime to use them but generally you are treated as a patient with addiction. Not a criminal.

There's still a massive body of criminal law around supplying, and producing them.

So they are not dismantling controls on drugs but targeting the issues drugs cause instead of criminalising users needlessly.

Not perfect there but certainly lessons to be learnt.

Firefox has also had issues in this regard.

"Firefox's built-in support for web feeds and Live Bookmarks was removed with the release of Firefox version 64 in December 2018."

They pushed "Pocket" over RSS.

Now they're depreciating the Mac pocket app and it's clearly not going to do well in the future.

5 years of moving people away from RSS to another service, to then start to depreciate that service.

5 years from the major redesign of google reader from 2008 to 2013 and closing it down.

My lesson. Expect to change your software for the web every 4 years or so. If it lasts longer it's a bonus. But chances are if you make the effort to move to the best (and most recently developed) candidate every 4 years you'll be in a good place.

You know when software gets stale, you know when there are better options, use them.

Sometimes your current choice gets a new round of development, sometimes it goes stale.

Framework 13 has a fingerprint reader in the power button.

Look up the antikythera mechanism.

The Romans could make enough quality metals for a clock.

The idea of a printing press was revolutionary but it's just an engraved plate, ink, later and a weight on a lever.

I'm confident I could make a printing press without plans having seen one. I'm not confident I could design an accurate watch.

I might manage a pendulum clock. Just. But that's far less useful.

They wish to disrupt trade. And disrupt the narrative of the war.

Evidence: they're disrupting trade. We're talking about this.

My entire point is that pollution and article is irrelevant.

No side is perfect but there's one side who have ultimately orchestrated that part of the world to the place it's in now.

The US put the extremists in charge in Iran because of the Red scare.

The US put the extremists in charge in Saudi Arabia for the oil supply.

The US has supported Israel's stance against any non-jew in creating an apartheid state.

The US has given weapons to several sides.

The US has directly bombed several countries.

All while not supporting the Arab spring and grass roots push for democracy.

"Not perfect" doesn't cut it. The US is aggressively colonialist, just as the British were before them.

The lack of ethics and increase in waste is a deal breaker for me.

They're not the best performing. They're generally slow. Other phones objectively perform better.

Not only did the fairphone 4 ditch a feature I needed and would prevent waste in general for many.

It also caused my housemate who owned one no end of issues with every update. Bluetooth dropouts, touchscreen glitches.

Issues with the camera.

Issues with the microphone

Slow charging.

He's a beta tester and he's paid a premium for it.

Support from fairphone has basically been pathetic.

It's hilarious how many supporters of this company are. It must be like the phenomenon of car drivers supporting public transport. They're hoping everyone else buys a fairphone.

As they're not even the most environmentally friendly phone it's all a bit silly.

You stating what I apparently believe is one of the red flags for someone not engaging in critical thinking.

I've told you I don't believe that, if you still believe I do you're trying to construct an argument against the evidence.

I disagreed with the video.

Sounds like you're too keen to spout fallacies as if you're in a debating match rather than engaging in a discussion.

I don't believe that at all.

I stated that as an absurdist position in comparison to the absurdist position of complaining about an oil slick in a war.

The Houthis are trying to stop moving polluting ships through those waters. Are you blaming the ship or the ones trying to stop the ship?

This isn't about pollution or the environment, everyone knows that.

Trying to shoehorn environmentalism as a justification to keep bombing Yemen is a hilarious mental leap into the abyss.

Start by asking "the coalition" to clear up the depleted uranium they leave lying around the place in the middle east.

When they ditched the headphone jack fairphone ditched environmentalism.

The fairphone 3+ was their last fair phone.

It's just another cheap phone now. Made in the same place from the same stuff as other makers, with maybe a year of extra security updates.

They started by doing stuff differently, now they do things the same as everyone else and want to pretend they're different.

This is everything coming up.
