helping developing countries by giving them predatory loans and putting them into more debt under the guise of fixing climate change is honestly just so on brand for the world right now.

It’d take something pretty wild to surprise me at this point.

It’s a pretty neat game.

You don’t own the thing you bought!

This is true, China certainly hasn’t helped the situation, although from where they were I can understand them wanting to capitalise on it. I just don’t like it when people blanket say that things made in China are bad. The reputation is obviously there for a reason, but it’s almost just as often western companies that share the blame for general low quality, mass produced, disposable things.

Understandable, have a nice day.

I have no love for Apple, I’m just referring to the build quality.

China just makes what people ask it to. So many places moved all their production to China for cheap labour, and most companies trying to skimp on one thing are also going to skimp on others like materials and quality control. iPhones are also made in China and most people consider them to be high quality. The problem is more just capitalism than China specifically.

There may be a different setting somewhere for what you’re talking about but when I tried that it just added more rows or columns of icons.

I keep hearing how customisable KDE is but I couldn’t find a way to change how big the app icons in the application launcher were, they’re so huge!

image reconstruction techniques?

Ah, I didn’t realise that, thanks for the explanation.

He bought it so he’s the only shareholder. It’s not publicly traded anymore.

Their videos are purely informative so I think they can get a pass on this one, better to spread awareness of these things than to not.

I don’t think either phrase is impolite. Good manners are a made up thing. If someone said ‘thanks’ to me and I said ‘tiddle dee dee’ I’m not being rude, just a bit weird, nobody’s honour has been questioned, I haven’t said anything that could be taken as an offence.

If I’ve got some I’m not opposed, but I never do usually.

I’ve been eating a bowl of overnight oats for breakfast with just soymilk and some sugar for like two years now and I can’t see it changing anytime soon. It just hits the spot for me.

This sounds positive, pointless pissing matches serve no one. I’m sure it’ll be a bumpy road but it would be cool to live in a less hostile world.

I read something about him not being honest with the board, or keeping things from them? Didn’t see any elaboration, though.

haha, no not at all!

Haha, yeah, that’s the beauty of how easy it is to just make some installation media and try them out. Certainly wasn’t meaning to come off as argumentative, sorry if I did!
