Im talking about the actual conflict zone, I dont think either side would be able to actually take ground in the others homeland but rather the militaries of both powers would maul eachother quite badly to a stalemate.

Ill just run a linux phone tbh, don’t care how inconvenient that might be fuck using either walled garden.

America wouldnt come off very well in a 1v1 with China tbh I doubt either side would win but Alas.

This is going around in circles, fuck you, fuck your attempted moral high horsing & Слава Україні. Ive already said what Israel is doing is abhorrent and you were the one initially to pull the whataboutism and drag Palestine into a thread about Ukraine.

Oh boo hoo I skim read something.

And fuck you for the last line, I’ve actively fund raised for Ukraine and have donated to Ukrainian causes along with helping Ukrainian refugees.

You seem preoccupied gaining virtue points via shoving Palestine into every single discussion about Ukraine, when lets face it as much as I do feel for the Palestinians and what Israel is doing is abhorrent HAMAS did kill over a thousand people in cold blood along with repeatedly violating cease fires which lead to a (over)reaction.

Russias killed far more than 12k, its well recorded there are mass graves in places such as Mariupol with a unknown number of bodies. The UN itself has specifically verified at least 30k and given the numbers of missing persons its likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Stop regurgitating Russian propaganda numbers.

Nah, last I checked I thought Russians kidnapping of Ukrainian children was abhorrent which is the subject matter of this post. The constant Palestine supporter “but what about xyz” is nonsensical, all genocides are disgusting and the fact action is being taken even on just one of them is nothing but good news. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.

Whataboutism

I think this is why reformUK support is skyrocketing, people are sick to shit of the LAB-CON roundabout and managed decline. Doubt REF will be any better tho.

You’ve completely ignored what I said. Comparing linux to Microsofts European operations is bizarre given that Microsoft produce a paid for product which uses telemetry out the wazoo to get even more money from the end user and which is closed source compared to a completely open source peer reviewed kernel development proceedure which is free to be used and tweaked however a entity likes.

Its irrelevant where the not for profit foundation happens to be based, and if they do go off the rails the entire thing could be forked quite easily.

Even the Russians and North Koreans as paranoid as those entities are trust linux running on sensitive machines, and as seen with Slesvig-Holsten so do German provisional governments.

Also the UK is (for now) still broadly included in the buy european campaigns alongside Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine etc. Although if you’d really wanted to target Canonical for not being European you should’ve pointed to it being based on Debian.

What about OpenSUSE, Ubuntu etc? Both European based firms. Calling the linux kernel and coreutils American is a pretty big stretch considering their licencing and global contributor network.

And? The licencing is completely open and not chained to a single country nor single corporation.

Source?

Its turned into a massive moral media storm over here, a guy used the forum to buy poison after only a week but his family insist the forum “drove him to suicide” and have been launching tabloid backed outrage campaigns to lobby the government. Fuck ofcom and the shitty online safety bill, everyone knew it would be used for things that “polite society” wants to pretend doesn’t exist.

Tbf we almost certainly can, just play the Swedish game of perpetually slightly not complying with euro requirements.

They were absolute bellends when I tried to get it sorted to transfer the money to another bank as well, sat there insisting my “phone had been hacked/had a virus” and only actually moved my bloody money after I threatened a official complaint.

Lloyds? they’re closing my local branch as well really need to go in and close the accounts tbh.
