There are features that constantly get added. It's not only HTML (maybe the html part is stable, I don't know), but there's CSS and most importantly JavaScript.

Also, browsers don't always follow the standard exactly. Some features get added that aren't in the standard.

Sounds like clickbait

It's funny that I can't tell if you mean KSA or USA

So what is the benefit for the common person, now?

NewPipe works on peertube?

donetick.com

I know someone who's literally making that right now. Remind me in a week, I'll send you the link. He'll probably be done by then.

Edit: donetick.com

We're pretty far from being able to automate everything

maintaining democracy

What definition of democracy are we using here? Just so we're on the same page.

I do not think trump was making a meaningful change on that level, in any case. The US never had a true people's rule it that's what you mean, for trump to take it away.

Gaza is not the only issue.

they are also clearly not a Biden supporter. They do not support either candidate, so the two options should be treated equally.

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you'd want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

You're still too busy analyzing the motives or agenda of the author instead of evaluating the information. Of-fucking-course the Syrian state TV is going to have an agenda that... Surprise: agrees with state policy. This is not the revelation you think it is.

Guess what? Every source has a bias or agenda. For many it is money related. If you take any source for granted, you'd be a fool. Analyze the information for what it is.

Now, the US is indeed stealing. There have been several videos posted before, and local witnesses arresting to it. This has nothing to do with whatever you think it is framing. This is actually happening.

The US isn't robbing Syrians at gunpoint

What the hell do you call installing your literal military and building 14 bases (more US bases per square mile of any similarly-sized region in the world), and has initiated multiple attacks on Syria since?

It's only considered theft because the people eating and using the fuel are ethnically undesirable.

Maybe to you. To me, it is considered theft because the oil fields which were once keeping all Syrians warm, cooking, and supplying them with electric power is now being given to an occupying military while most Syrians are struggling for a drop of heating or cooking oil, many dying of the winter cold.

When did the people of Aleppo hand over land to Russia? You do realize the SDF collaborated with Russia and even hosts a Russian military base?

Also, the Assad government, despite all its horrors and corruption, actually cooperates with the SDF on a moderate level. There is already some trade between the two, and they fought side by side on a few occasions.

There's no way you don't believe the US is in Syria? They do not make it a secret. I'm happy to provide you with a wealth of instances where the US admits this.

maybe for a good reason

There's literally no good reason

The US coalition's bombings has been far more cruel than even the Syrian regime and ISIS. Just compare the size of the destruction, the number of destroyed buildings between the liberation of Raqqa vs the battle of Aleppo. Despite Aleppo being a much bigger city, and the fight being far more fierce, Raqqa had far more destruction and was raised to the ground.

I agree with you that the SDF does not have many friends, and I support them in milking as much US aid as they can. But selling off the oil when most Syrians are struggling for a drop of oil is cruel, and we should not accept this.

For starters: "US troops loot Syrian oil and wheat continuously"

who are keeping detained ISIL under lock and key

Yeah I am not going to excuse a US occupation with ISIS as pretext when it was the US that sponsored ISIS' creation.

I'm completely lost about your last paragraph. It sounds like you're assuming I have some stances that I do not. I support Kurdish autonomy and independence. Tying that into letting more people in non-US-occupied regions fight for a drop of heating or cooking oil is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Ahh, it's only crude oil? That makes it all legitimate then /s

It's not a grand conspiracy. It's an occupation and illegitimate military intervention. The US has a long track record of doing it, and your people have a long history of supporting it :)
