The only problem with that is he’s not planning on ever having someone after him until he’s dead

True, but when a strongman cracks. Its never good for them.

They would have to truthfully acknowledge it as a war. Something they still deny. Instead choosing the euphemism limited Military action. So I don’t see this happening. Which it’s just silly to consider the first place. They didn’t have an actual plan going in. How are they going to have a plan getting out.

Yes was going to say I don’t care if he’s equipped with AI as long as everyone after him is equipped with rifles.

Reposting linked content from, yes. To? No. If you still brave those wilds to find content currently lacking on fedi and post here to drive engagement. You’re exactly the type of person the feddi needs. If you’re posting links to external comment sections about said links. You aren’t helping the feddi.

It’s worst with mastodon where there are a ton of not reporters that might be mistaken for actual outlets.

Only just. As a child of the seventies and eighties. He retired a bit before I became a teenager. The worst you’d generally have to worry about with him might be issues of framing and omission. And generally never intentionally or with malice. That’s almost unimaginable today. Where its S. O. P.

They are wholly owned now by people who already have money. Or who stand to make money while keeping people ignorant. But absolutely. Compare the coverage from 20 years ago to today. It’s clear, the failure that is. And the coverage 20 years ago wasn’t good. But at least they were out there embedded and Reporting something. Now they’re all just sitting back home waiting to be told. Because the boss won’t spend money to go out there and Report.

I agree. While Iran has fomented unrest elsewhere. They’ve never been as boots on the ground and directly engaged with it as the United States has.

Sadly, so is the US. Real change comes from within. If the people can’t make it themselves. If they’re relying on someone else to give it to him. They’ll never get it. This goes for Americans as much as Iranians.

All anyone needs to do is look at how many different times over how many different decades we rug pulled the kurds. In Bosnia and elsewhere. Our government serves its interests only and then it gets out. It doesn’t really care about freedom.

And I think a lot of the push back you’re getting, is that specifically in this case. Its the United States and it’s meddling is the cause of a lot of their problems. They revolutioned themselves into this as a result. Only another revolutionary change on their part will change it. Hopefully a more informed, less reactionary one.

Honestly I originally read your post with a sarcastic tone.

And us media will cover the outcomes like they did the last time. As little as possible, and only after some seemingly unrelated thing demands it. Like soldiers trying to commit suicide because of deteriated conditions and stress. Because the base they were supposed to be resupplied from was evaporated unreported a week before. US media is a joke.

Ah that’s fair yeah. It’s getting better. But without some sort of system where a flat pack can request the permissions that it needs at install or runtime. It’s far from where it should be. Trivial to do with an app like flat seal. But that’s not typically installed out of the box. It’s all command line by default and very obtuse to the average user.

That would make it worse. Then it would only be usable on systems based off of canonical. Not even debian. Snap does have a few small technical benefits over something like flat pack currently. But if you want to just package it and run it anywhere. Flat pack is the go-to

I know right? This is literally what flat pack was meant to address. Just package has push it and let any system use it. So it is a little more complicated and another step on top of everything.

If you’re not having crashes Etc? Probably not at all. I didn’t even really think of that. Though I don’t actually keep any data on the laptop. It’s an old 2 gigahertz core two Duo . With a spinning rust hard drive. I use it mostly As a home assistant dashboard and interface.

Yep I just did a fresh install myself seeing as I couldn’t update it from the repos.

Is it Bambu? I bet it’s bambu. Yep it’s bambu who knew?

I’d really like to see the Russian intelligence that has them attacking purely civilian infrastructure and shopping malls. I doubt either of us will see either. But considering what Russia is doing and has done. I’m not that worried about it.

They didn’t really get into trouble though. George Bush said it was cool. And Bill went partying with Epstein to celebrate.

Yes if they had any actionable information on him they would have already been advertising it or putting it out there. The fact that they haven’t speaks volumes. This Administration would even purposefully griefly put out false information as long as it hurts people they don’t like.

heh I do that sometimes still I suppose. Though much more in moderation at my age.
