I didn’t mean for gaming specifically, probably should have used a transition statement. For creative and professional use cases, macOS is still far far better than Windows. For gaming yeah that’s not your platform, Linux is.

Windows 11 is a strong motivator. I suspect like many other people, the only reason I was keeping Windows around was gaming. But thanks to Proton and the Steam Deck, the number of games in my library that won’t run on Linux is vanishingly small. I deleted my Windows partition a few months ago and haven’t looked back.

Install Linux or buy a Mac, fuck Windows.

Yea, I was a manager at multiple jobs and wasn’t allowed to give interview feedback for this reason, they were afraid anything I said would be fuel for a wrongful rejection lawsuit.

Well, that depends. If it’s a board of puppets to continue Israeli rule, then no. If it’s a decently representative cross section of Palestinians who have a mandate to transition to independent statehood and democratic rule, then yes. But I really doubt it’ll be the second one.

He did very publicly oppose Brexit. Good to see he’s trying reset the relationship now that it’s happened.

I don’t get it, won’t they be inside North Korea, and thus any such arrest warrant worthless?

Friendly reminder that in Austria this problem was solved in 1923, so it’s not like we don’t know how.

Ich bin auch Amerikaner (also, doppelte Staatsbürgerschaft). Ich bin in den USA und in Österreich aufgewachsen und wähle in beiden Ländern. Ich kann mit Sicherheit sagen, das US-System ist bizarr und niemand in den USA versteht es eigentlich. Das Zählverfahren für jeden Bundesstaat wurde ursprünglich ausdrücklich eingeführt, um der ländlichen Bevölkerung eine besonders große Stimme zu geben. Das gilt auch für den Senat, wo jeder Bundesstaat die gleiche Anzahl an Abgeordneten hat. Idaho beispielsweise verfügt über dieselbe politische Macht wie New York oder Kalifornien, obwohl die Bevölkerungszahl dort nur etwa 1/20 beträgt.

100 miles from the border or coastline is like 90% of the population of the country. And I assume that’s a feature, not a bug.

It was, as was his meeting with Orban. But as we’ve seen many times, trump is apparently immune to prosecution.

€1.25m doesn’t sound “ultra rich” to me. It sounds like a successful small business owner. €100m, sure.

Take your civilised attitude and get out of here!
