The United States is determined to prevent Iran and Iranian-backed partners and proxies from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict,

Also Israel literally right now: “Lmao let’s exploit the situation we created and expand the conflict”

Not to mention Germany ran an entire North Africa campaign.

After 15 years of wayland development hell, I’m honestly open to anything. Problem is I can definitely see an experimental branch being just as scrutinized. One of the core issues highlighted was that features and requests were rejected because of hypotheticals and the maintainers trying to avoid fragmentation like early Xorg.

Basic features from X11 are still missing. Everyone ended up somewhat fragmenting anyway via compositors because weston wasn’t really useful for developers beyond a demo. Wayfire started out as a Compiz redux and now its being considered by several DEs like XFCE to be the default compositor which they should standardize around.

Regardless, I really hope they nail it down in the next year because the halfway migration to wayland is seriously harming Linux desktop, especially when lots of frontend UI has been done perfectly decades ago on X11, and wayland still not properly supporting new features like HDR.

Along with the recent Frog Wayland stuff, I’m happy to see Valve is gonna help linux desktop again lol.

From reddit:

Anybody remembers Linus saying “I hope Valve comes and fixes the packaging issue on Linux”? (yeah, on that ancient DebConf)

I hope Valve comes and fixes the very slowness of anything Wayland.

Indian Navy watching China make the same mistake lol

Might as well be Most Islamic Countries tbh.

Pakistan and Bangladesh buy spyware from Israel.

Turkey and Azerbaijan buy a lot of their arms.

Middle East in general is just screwed because it’s mostly US shills.

Dunno enough about Southeast Asia or Africa, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they too had ties to Israel.

I still like to think the only nation that made a proper stand was Yemen. Iran was kind of incompetent and is morally corrupt anyways. Lebanon is too fractured to have a chance of a proper leadership imo.

Only the Houthis seemed to make a dent in Israel by attacking their supply line, which did actually have an effect.

Otherwise there are plenty more non Islamic nations willing to do more.

This actually reminds me of that modified hellfire the US made in which they basically removed the explosives and installed a metal slug with blades, which they used to kill Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders in the last few years in Afghanistan.

The idea being that the kinetic warhead would greatly reduce the collateral and allow pinpoint precision on targets in a dense area.

Of course Israel could never. They decided to go with fitting bombs onto pagers & walkie talkies, and their age old strategy of leveling entire buildings hoping the target is inside. Gotta win that maximum civilian death trophy at any cost.

Not to mention they watched this play out over 3 years. Even without the goal of influence, they just watched the US profiteer on dated NATO surplus sold to Ukraine.

This ain’t halo bruh, no one listens to the UNSC, let alone the UN.

Some next level mental gymnastics in this comment.

Pakistan army attacks its own proxy to give themselves a reason to exist.

Sudan limping into the conversation

Emgage has been criticized by Muslim organizations, including the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, the umbrella organization for Muslim advocacy groups in the US for its ties to groups involved in anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian activity and which attack elected Muslim lawmakers like Ilhan Omar. After these went unaddressed, the Council severed ties with Emgage.[11][12] Emgage denied the accusations, which it described as a product of “ideological cancel culture”.[13]

A PAC is still a PAC no matter what you name it lol. Ain’t no way Dearborn is going to gladly accept getting screwed if Harris refuses to change her stance.

They didn’t vote for Clinton and she wasn’t even that bad compared to literal genocide.

Hopium

Liberal DNC shills when Americans don’t blindly support a centrist corporate lobby party in disguise:

Dunno if anyone here would know about the moment on TV where the PMLN witch was complaining about egg prices in eggs per kilo

Because regular people definitely buy eggs in kilos.

BBC on its way to make a 300 article chronicle about the “totally not a CIA funded” rights for minorities NGO whose 5 members are definitely at the center of politics in the country.

Actually I think the CCP views them as a political threat. They probably already get enough since they technically jointly own businesses and can just take assets at any time.

Probably let them become successful and then follow up with a threat to make sure they don’t become a problem while vaguely pointing at Jack Ma

I know you said south asian, but is this the Green, the Orange, the Red, or the Island?

I’m curious because an oligarch from each of those options can mean every different types of people. South Asia is a lot bigger than some people think lol.

Also do you enjoy your line of work?

People fear the same thing about Valve.

One wrong person and we could all end up in the same money milk machine as EA.

I know people complain about Linus hurling insults at merge requests, but his rigidness is what keeps the kernel viable. If it weren’t for him, google would have already shit all over it with a mega fork and essentially cornered the market like they did with Android and HTTP3.

Both are technically “open source”, yet Google essentially dictates what they want or need for their economic purpose, like ignoring JPEGXL, forcing AVIF, making browsers bloaty, using manifestv3, etc. Android is even worse and may as well be considered separate from Linux because it’s just google’s walled garden running on the linux kernel.

He is open to new technology, but he understands the fundamental effects of design choices and will fight people over it to prevent the project from fracturing due to feature breaking changes, especially involving userspace.
