Iraqi armed group claims responsibility for downed US aircraft

I know it’s not what you meant when you made the comparison, but the US-Vietnam war was also devastating for millions of Vietnamese civilians. Unfortunately, that is also likely going to be the case in Iran.

Haven’t used it for a few years, but Jitsi was great if all you need is video chat

Don’t worry, your president will just declare himself president of another country and take all their produce for you.

You mean like how they’re defending Ukraine? Lol

Just use your hyperfocus superpowers

It’s been a few years since the US invaded Iraq… Regardless, China’s investment in oil production does not translate to consumption. About half of Iraq’s oil was going to the US around 2004.

China gains power and influence in foreign nations through significant investment in infrastructure (often leading to enormous debt), which is going to result in significant long-term gains for China. The US approach is to smash the front door down and loot the place, then install a puppet who is hopefully loyal to them and won’t be easily ousted.

I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of either of them, but I know which one I’d choose if I had to pick one.

I did consider less common uses like that, which is why I specified “general reading”. I prefer paper for my sheet music, but I’d choose something with a faster refresh rate than e-ink if I had to use something with a screen anyway.

The only reason I’d want 2 “pages” is so I could close it to protect the screen(s)… but that’s exactly what covers are for.

Apart from the tiny minority of people who might prefer the form factor/“book feel”, are there any actual advantages to having 2 screens for general reading?

I heard this more than a few times over a year ago. Sure, it’s getting better, but there will always be limitations and weak points, even if they require more effort to detect.

Yep I got the feeling that we were of similar minds about it but I wanted to provide some balance in case anyone else was weighing up switching to a different browser.

I knew JS was his handiwork, but I wasn’t aware of his significant role at Mozilla or that he is also behind Brave, so thanks for sharing that link.

According to your link below he was co-founder of Mozilla in 1998. Based on the other information on that page, he had a very significant role in shaping Mozilla and their tools, so as disagreeable as his personal views may be, it’s not impossible that Firefox might not even exist today were it not for his work there.

Someone else has already pointed out that he was pushed out, but he actually resigned due to public pressure (he was only CEO for 11 days, and one of the board members even left due to him being appointed) before going on to found Brave and becoming the CEO there lol.

If I chose not to use products based on the personal beliefs of the people who worked on them I don’t think I’d have very many options. Mozilla has made heaps of questionable decisions over the years, but the other options are generally much worse.

Given the influence of both Israel and the US president, I cannot help but suspect that there is an intention behind this.

Not to mention the large number of Israelis (often former Mossad/intelligence agents) directly involved in US tech companies.

Yeah I doubt that’s the issue on a PC with 64GB RAM.

I’d be very surprised if the number of people who actually did that was anywhere near enough to have affected the results.

You truly believe the outcome would have been that different under Kamala? What did Biden do to stop Israel? Oh yeah, he sent them more money and weapons.

Dopamine

That would be great for those 11 people.

I think the majority of people use it to (unreliably) solve tedious problems or spit out a whole bunch of text that they can’t be bothered to write.

While ChatGPT has been intentionally designed to be as friendly and conversational as possible, I hope most people do not see it as something to have a meaningful conversation with instead of as just a tool that can talk.

Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention using ChatGPT as part of their decision-making process it is usually taken less seriously, if not outright laughed at.

Exactly. This title is just clickbait.

The actual study’s title is “Resolution limit of the eye — how many pixels can we see?”.
