No. I'm saying that the US, an imperalist power which consistently spreads anti-Chinese propaganda, can't be trusted to tell the truth when it comes to China. So it's suspicious that several people on the board of that organization are former members of the US State Department

I question why a human rights group meant for people in Xinjiang is based in Washington DC and has lots of personal ties to the US government. Sure is convenient for US foreign policy goals.

This headline seems biased just by itself. "Bigwig" isn't exactly a respectful term.

What a surprise, for-profit medicine is worse for patients

I seem to remember that, for a couple years after DDR4 became the standard, it was significantly more expensive than DDR3.

Finally, a title for that asshole that feels completely appropriate. Florida Man.

Sea bugs gonna eat sea junk I guess.

Valve's legal department just got back from holiday break?

What a stupid waste of resources. Ice is ice.

"China bad and they're spying on YOU!" -- some random-ass Texas newspaper, for no reason

I just checked in my own, you can change the toolbar to the top of the screen in the "Customize" page of the settings.

The wealthy, who disproportionately wreck the environment across the whole globe, refuse to be less destructive.

Oh jeez, did some brief research and that is awful. The person in charge of Retroarch seems to be a greedy asshole, doesn't properly credit other people's code, and there's direct IRC-logged evidence of abusive behavior towards emulator devs. Yikes. No wonder there are competing projects.

Time for me to never touch it again. I hear LaunchBox is a fine alternative but on my Switch I might just grab ARM builds of individual emulators; it would save time over the whole RA interface anyways.

RetroArch never had a Mac build huh? Very odd since it's got Switch and Linux builds

Myths? Electric cars are not good for the environment, period, as their manufacture has huge impacts everywhere especially with lithium batteries.

The important thing that the conservatives miss is that all individual car transportation is horrible for the environment. Only public transit cuts emissions massively. That's why electric cars exist. They're not built to save the environment. They are built to save the car as a concept and means of individual transit. To keep consumers buying more cars and car parts rather than building and investing in public transportation.

What I find infuriating is how electric car makers lie in their advertising about how eco-friendly their vehicles are. They're not, and they know they're not, and they lie anyways because some people believe it.

Anyone who says paid software is guaranteed to be better is either selling you something or delusional.

FOSS has almost never disappointed me as an end user. Windows disappoints me every time I use it.

Extreme wealth absolutely is correlated with psychopaths. Nobody becomes ultrawealthy while keeping a conscience; to get that rich you have to step on other people. Unfortunately this phenomenon is not unique at all to the Saudi regime and I don't think their cruelty or violence are either; the ruling capitalists all across the world make decisions daily with the same outcomes.

Golf sucks. Personally I think it should die out. What a waste, all across the world, of good land and water.

American here and that is completely, 100 percent true.

Almost every piece of infrastructure built in the US in the past century is built around cars. Every American is expected to learn how to drive a car at age 16, as soon as legally possible. Except in very large cities like NYC, it is considered "strange" or "a significant inconvenience" to not own a car. For the vast majority of the country (both by land area and population) a car is required for commuting to work and almost anywhere else.

I don't see how modern Russia is still the USSR. Could you explain?

In seriousness, I have used Mint as a daily driver for probably 7 years now and I have found only the MATE and xfce flavors to be properly reliable and stable. Cinnamon, no matter how many times and on what hardware I've tried it, has a lovely habit of crashing and freezing at random times. For normal desktop tasks, Linux Mint xfce has been more reliable than any Windows I've ever used.
