So wait, the sequence in Pantheon where they move a phone by hacking its vibration motors isn’t that far-fetched?

They wrecked the economy so hard that game consoles are appreciating in value.

Artisanal, farm-to-table entertainment systems.

Keychron is solid, and offers a wide range of sizes so you can balance real estate vs functionality

I can tell you that when I use GameHub Lite on my Retroid 5, the stats widget sometimes shows Zink, along with DXVK, DXVK+, and VKD3D

They’ve been telegraphing this for a while — long before the RAM crisis

I assume this means they’re trying to clear out the LCD stock and be OLED-only soon?

Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP

Well, Pakistan isn’t exactly a leader in world peace either…

Which Country Is The Greatest Threat to World Peace?

The **US** was the overwhelming choice (**24% of respondents**) for the country that represents the greatest threat to peace in the world today. This was followed by Pakistan (**8%**), China (**6%**), North Korea, [Israel](https://brilliantmaps.com/country-maps/map-of-israel/ "Map Of Israel Created By The CIA") and [Iran](https://brilliantmaps.com/country-maps/map-of-iran/ "Map Of Iran Created By The CIA") (**5%**). Respondents in [Russia](https://brilliantmaps.com/country-maps/map-of-russia/ "Map Of Russia Created By The CIA") (54%), China (49%) and Bosnia (49%) were the most fearful of the US as a threat.


I don’t think blahaj would object to the basic message.

There are the occasional man-hating users, sure. But for the most part, the instance seems to accept the idea that men suffer under patriarchy as well.

Now, when you bring it up _in response to_ women, enbies, etc. suffering under patriarchy… that’s not so great.

So I guess it depends on what community it would be posted to, and how it would be posted.

Given how OP seems to be spamming this in multiple unrelated communities… I can’t imagine they would post it to blahaj tactfully. So… maybe you’re right, lol.

Worth noting that Japan is the #1 foreign holder of US treasuries. More than anything, they want stability. Good sign for the US that they’re holding off on damage control mode.


They’re “protecting” the women.

Guys, not cool! You don’t do this part publicly. You have each company petition privately.

If Trump likes them, they get an exemption and get to raise prices anyway while going “Hoo boy, those tariffs, huh? Real shame. But what can you do?”

Aaaand he went back on it already.

Some editor ran this piece through a shredder. The main content is good, but the headline and intro are terrible.

Here are the highlights:

One reason this administration is so disorienting is that U.S. foreign policy has been guided for decades by the opposite of realism. The key fights in Washington, especially in recent decades, were between neocons who wanted to spread democracy through war and liberals who wanted to spread democracy through soft power like U.S.A.I.D. contracts to bolster civil society.

…

While Mr. Trump embraces some elements of realism — giving in to the strong and sacrificing the weak — his tariff wars and threats against peaceful neighbors could end up being as costly as the military adventurism of the previous liberal order. Rajan Menon, a professor emeritus at the City College of New York, told me that people who expect the Trump administration “to follow the playbook of realism” by showing restraint “are going to get very disappointed.”

…

To Mr. Trump, America is a great power that Russia wouldn’t dare attack, and Ukraine is a pawn that can be sacrificed. But here’s the thing about great powers: They all decline eventually. Neanderthal realism doesn’t save them. After Athens sacked Melos, word of its brutality spread. Its allies turned against it. Athens lost the war. Noble ideas, it turns out, do matter.

Doctorow likes to put it as “hitting them right in the dongle”.

(Copy-pasting from another thread)

I like Cory Doctorow’s plan.

The reason Canada got tariff-free access to sell to the US in the first place? Canada agreed to enforce penalties for tampering with digital locks, following the premise of the Digital Milennium Copyright Act.

If the US is going back on the deal, then Canada should too. Make it legal to jailbreak all US tech.

Doctorow advocating for this plan:

• On Democracy Now

• On his blog

• On his podcast

• In the Ursula Franklin lecture at the University of Toronto’s Innis College (I especially enjoyed this one, but it is the longest)
