@linuxisevil I don't really give a flying fuck if you buy it or not. If you want to use Windows be my guest, load up your spyware and controlware and have a good time.

@linuxisevil Microsoft tends to provide stock options to their employees, this gives them more incentive to work 80 hours / week and contribute to the companies financial growth, and if they've retained those stocks, then they retain an interest.

@BobGnarley @possiblylinux127 My take as well, but for the record, Putin is well aware of how Bolsheviks affected his nation and not eager to repeat it so not a big supporter of Communism himself.

@possiblylinux127 @davel Since 2022, China has amplified its purchase of cheaper Russian oil after the West hit Moscow with unprecedented sanctions.

@BobGnarley @kixik Yep this is definitely not a step forward.

@linuxisevil @madthumbs Sorry but Dave Plumber isn't at the top of my list of trusted sources. I don't expect someone whose got a vested interest to be neutral.

@yogthos Trumps past record suggests not. The real question is what the outcome will be. I do expect if he is elected, we will see negotiated outcomes.

@yogthos @theunknownmuncher The controllers of said empire isn't the elected government. How we can reign that back in, I don't know.

@yogthos @theunknownmuncher Well we are two weeks away from an Presidential election here in the US, going to be interesting to see where that goes. If Kamaltoe, er, Kamala gets it then probably we won't even be able to discuss it anymore.

@secret300 The project to discover elements 119 and 120 which previously were a US/Russia collaboration also put on hold. All of humanity moves backwards when we fight, nothing is gained.

@possiblylinux127 @theunknownmuncher I know it might hurt your brain but it is helpful to fully understand an issue to understand the other sides perspectives.

@remotelove Yea sure, let the US place missiles on their border. Not a rational option.

@sunisra Oh definitely related, it was working ok under 22.04 not 24.04, but I suspect it has something to do with decoder ffmpeg, as other applications using it also have issues with H.264 v10 video. However Thorium does not. Perhaps it has it's own decoder rather than using ffmpeg.

@yogthos @theunknownmuncher I am in the US and I realize this. There was a funny meme a while back about look how aggressive Russia is, they put their country all around our military bases. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in that. What other country has military bases throughout the world?

@davel Everyone has their own perspective but I think most people here are trying to greatly over simply a complex situation with and Noam Chomsky offers only yet another perspective and I disagree with him on the issue of world government or extinction. I don't think world government on a large scale, particularly the way it is now with no real citizenship representation, is particularly desirable.

@davel If the world were so simple then those with single digit IQ's and no real knowledge of historical fact would be able to understand it, unfortunately it is not.

@Samueru I find it humorous that someone would downvote me for suggesting that history goes back more than a decade. Guess they are less than ten years old and think their parents appeared out of nowhere when they were born.

@davel @drwankingstein All of which have their biases and really a very limited subsample of viewpoints and history.

@Samueru The history goes back way before 2014 and your summation of the situation is inaccurate.

@drwankingstein @theunknownmuncher That being the case why did Rockefeller fund BOTH sides of the conflict? It's true it had bad effects on the economy but it wasn't the only thing that had bad effects on the economy, you need to go back about 800 years to get to the roots of that.
