No, but bonus credit. I went Vax VMS, DEC Alpha DUX, Slackware, slowaris (x86 Solaris), Redhat, then LFS, Gentoo, RHEL, Solaris 9, and then eventually a little of everything else.

New handlebars are way cheaper than a new face.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Most websites used to have way fewer ads and we blocked them anyway because of the ads with malware and them being annoying when they did show up.

So then people without ad blockers are shown even more ads. So then more people start to use more and more aggressive adblockers to deal with i truaivw ads, so corpos display more ads…and so on and so on.

My point is that we have tried your suggestion. The Internet in 1998 was very different.

Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.

The drug war is and has always been primarily a class war.

The threatened 100% semiconductor tariff is for companies not doing any production within the US. So it would mostly serve to cement the market position of large players such as TSMC, Intel, TI, et al.

eh. To be fair, there are at least a handful of past Presidents who would mostly agree with the current one, in substance if not in form. Andrew Jackson would be going on Tucker Carlson, calling Trump soft on immigration.

Worse, tankies.

Right, also we should all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

Okay, but… wtf does it do?

Yeah, no shit. Most sites on the web use Google Analytics. Film at Eleven.

Silly vatnik, get your kremlin talking points right.

lol. only took one comment. Scratch a tankie and a vatnik bleeds?

lol. ITT: OP looks for any excuse to call Americans racist.

This will lead to wars for resources.

Have I got some bad news for you.

looking forward from 2025, things are quickly going to go off the rails.

Going to? Going to? Have you not… /gestures vaguely

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

When faced with a changing environment, a species has 3 choices: Adapt, Migrate, or Die.

Humans have apparently decided to vault past the first two and just yank that third lever.

Finally someone read the article.

Canada said its recognition is “predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to much-needed reforms, including the commitments by Palestinian Authority President [Mahmoud] Abbas to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state.”

Hamas must also immediately release all hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks on Israel, disarm and “play no role in the future governance of Palestine,” Carney reiterated.

lol. Yeah,the chances of all that happening? Nil. I do think would likely be a move in the right direction, but it will not happen. This is basically an attempt to blame-shift.
