I don’t know if that’s another 10 months or 10 years but there is bound to be a limit.

The same goes for Ukraine as well, though. And judging by how much their foreign aid is dropping and them running out of artillery ammunition, I'm no longer that sure that it's russia who is reaching their limitations first.

They do control Play Services, however. That’s not open source and includes proprietary apps basically essential for an operating smart phone such as Google sign in, Maps, and of course the Play Store.

Wtf is this? You do not need google sign in for running a smart phone. Hell, one of the features of stock AOSP Android is being in no way tied to Google.

USA being "world police" is more of a meme than an actual thing. The policing USA does is more to ensure its own soft power and control over the global economy, and not actually taking a principled stand based on morals. Even the current Ukraine adventure is more a game to destroy the russian war machine than to save Ukraine, keeping Ukraine free and independent is more of a side-effect. Not that the EU is much better, I feel the EU is more afraid of bordering russia than genuinely helping Ukraine stay independent.

EU countries pay roughly half as much on healthcare per capita than US. https://www.statista.com/statistics/236541/per-capita-health-expenditure-by-country/#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20the%20United%20States,highest%20per%20capita%20health%20expenditure.

Western partners prove themselves unreliable. That's what eroding your own soft power looks like.

Eh, I get what they are trying to go for, but this kind of appeasement won't fix a group that doesn't believe in the democracy they live in. What, will they also ban drawing Mohammed since it also upsets muslims and thus incites violence?

If your UI/UX elements have that deep ties with your deeper stack your codebase has big issues.

By the power of the AI having no clue, of course.

Though technically you could have fake windows with lights behind I guess.

If these people want sariah so bad, they shouldn't get 6 months but rather assistance to get citizenship and then a one way ticket to the country of their choosing.

How about not fucking around with UI just so some manager can meet the yearly bonus?

That or mailbombs.

If you don't know what soft power is, you could give yourself a favour and try googling it. No matter how you spin it, a lot of countries attempting to resist China (and Russia or Iran) will start wondering after this absolute struggle of a support.

That's absolutely great for NATO members, but not for allies which I outlined above. Being a reliable ally is paramount to maintain soft power... given how Ukraine is turning out, if I were say the Philippines, I'd be really concerned about the US support in a potential conflict with China.

If you are an ally of US or NATO in general, the conflict in Ukraine is probably a rude awakening as to what you can expect if you get into a conflict.

Pretty much has to be boilerplate tbh, as they can only fish out a response from the preapproved can.

You can disable driver autoinstall I believe.

You also shouldn't purchase, since goods will get cheaper over time. Also don't take loans for the same reasons. Basically you should take your money in cash and sit on it.

Japan has been struggling with deflation (=decrease of prices) for a good 25 years now... you really don't want that happening. Ideally you want something around 2% inflation.

Ah, the real important thing. Good spot!

What were these pictures ordered by?
