Linus didn't shit on Linux as a whole, come on. Last time he tried Pop was over a year ago, he figured something might've changed in the meantime. And he did research what could be causing the issues (and found a fix for L4D2), and did also mention that overall the system was intuitive, installing it was fairly simple and he enjoyed not having his data being sold. He also said that all his devices were plug-and-play, no driver downloading shenanigans required. But of course he is going to highlight the issues he runs into, it's kind of the point of the video to show that not all experiences with Linux are seamless, and you can get radically different results depending on your chosen distro.

Having had Rutte as PM for a long time, this guy is a diplomat. He will say whatever he thinks needs to be said to whoever is listening to, without truly believing a single word of it. It makes him exceptionally good at maintaining relations, and that's what he's doing here: positioning NATO as an essential US ally, that the US benefits from. It's aimed directly at Trump and his sycophants.

And I mean it's his job to keep NATO together so sucking up to Trump is in his job description. But one thing is certain: don't believe Mark Rutte's words, since he doesn't really believe them himself.

Doubtful. Librewolf still uses Firefox as base.

Centrists lost to Trump, the objectively worst candidate for president.

Sanders received a loud applause from a Fox News town hall. I'm not so sure he'd have lost.

When voters have chosen the option furthest to the right it is stupid to think that running a candidate further left would do anything but lose.

Trying to do right-wing policy "better" than the right-wing candidate has consistently lost elections to far-right candidates. All it does is validate the far-right candidate's positions, and they'll always be considered "stronger" on those positions

People primarily vote for change, and that's exactly what the centrists haven't been able to offer. It's why Biden lost, it's why Harris lost, it's why Clinton lost.

Valve didn't decide to pull it, and the game is still downloadable if you purchased it before.

At its widest point, Pangea was approximately 16k km across. The fastest bullet train travels at 603km/h, so it would take approx. 26,5 hours to travel from one end to the other. This does assume a perfectly straight rail and no acceleration time though, so in practice it would take a little bit more time than that.

It seems unlikely that a Muslim Israeli is in favour of what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza.

If you want to insist that those in favour of what the Israeli government is doing must necessarily be Jewish, feel free to, but that seems fairly antisemitic in and of itself.

Ofc these people in the video are morons. As a healthcare worker you have a duty to medically assist anyone imo.

You said in another comment that you deal with misinformation online by just waiting for it to get debunked.

I have completed a masters degree at university. An IQ test showed my IQ is higher than 130. People around me consider me a pretty smart guy.

I have never even thought of your way to deal with misinformation. It's the simplest thing too, just wait. It's brilliant too, because it almost never fails and anyone can do it without any practice or training. The source of the misinformation doesn't matter, if it was spread via the news or on a forum online doesn't matter... It always works.

It might actually be the perfect solution to this problem. And I never even thought of it! When I read your comment my first thought was "Oh my god that's brilliant".

You might not be very intelligent. But you do seem wiser than most. Everyone has their own shortcomings, their insecurities, stuff they hate about themselves. For you it's your intelligence, for others it is how athletic they are, or their looks, or maybe they really want to grow a beard, they think they're not sexy enough, not nice enough, want children but can't have them, or maybe they wake up worrying about their micropenis every day.

I can't tell you to just love yourself and who you are. I know it's not that simple. Looking at this in a different way than you probably have all your life is not easy!

I can only offer you this: my girlfriend has an uncle with a severe learning disability, severe autism and he also had a stroke when he was young. He went from an already not very smart carpenter to effectively a man with the brains of a five year old, unable to drive anymore and not able to do his job anymore.

He had to be placed in a care home. He "works" by folding envelopes or sorting lego pieces. And someone needs to explain that to him too, almost every day, again and again.

His brother, my girlfriends dad, is what I can only describe as a shithead. He was violent to her, ignored her wishes and was just cruel. She was traumatized by her youth, because her mother died young because of an accident and he quickly married again, to a total bitch this time. She hates her dad with a passion.

This uncle however is not violent. Never has been either. If another person who is in the care home hits him (some are sadly aggressive and get angry easily), he doesn't react back. They told him he can push them away, but he refuses. They sent him on a self-defense course, which he did, but he refuses to use what he learned. He says he doesn't want to.

There isn't a fiber in that man's body that is violent. He is never angry with others. He is always happy to see us and enjoys the little things in life.

I consider him a good man. I consider him better than a lot of people I know who are perfectly normal. And that's probably what he will be remembered for: that he was a good person.

Your friends aren't your friends because you're not smart. They probably just like who you are. And if my girlfriend's uncle can be a good person and happy in life, then I believe that you can be too.

I wish you all the best.

Dyslexia probably explains a good part of the IQ test result actually. IQ tests are notoriously terrible at measuring intelligence of people with something like dyslexia as far as I know.

NATO has stopped all cooperation with Israel because Turkey has vetoed it: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/

Police today released that of the 62 arrests 10 are Israeli hooligans.
