I’m not very informed on the subject but I would assume they use multiple cameras to use parallax as depth perception, which would most likely prevent that issue

Man I’m sure they’ll be really sad when no one shows up to shoot their dog

After reading the whole thing, this is heartbreaking

Yes, absolutely, and I think anyone who says otherwise is a liar, given shitty enough candidates in an election

Wrong phrasing on my part.

No matter which side you ask, the Republic Of China (ROC) or the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Taiwan isn’t a country, it is a region of the country of China. Saying that Taiwan is a country satisfies neither the ROC nor the PRC’s claims

Other countries are similarly sanctioned, and hundreds of maintainers from those sanctions are still there. So the sanctions thing is absolutely just an excuse.

What Linus just did to Russians is scaring a lot of people right now, who are probably wondering if they should keep working in association with a project which has just demonstrated its unreliability.

Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not “republic of taiwan” or some other thing.

Although why would anyone from Russia even consider helping a project which sees them as lesser

this was not a choice, but a requirement

It has been framed as such, but no evidence has been given that it was a requirement

This shows that no open-source project can really be directed from the US, or if they are then a fork should exist and be maintained by BRICS citizens who are obviously viewed as lesser, at least in the Linux project.

This wasn’t a decision made based on sanctions, it was just an excuse given but no actual evidence of Linux being required to act on them was ever given.

I don’t think they mean “people who wouldn’t have cats as pets”, there are tons of valid reasons not to want cats as pets, such as the two you described, and I wouldn’t say that you “don’t like cats” given those two reasons

And even then, even if you somehow trust that your current political landscape won’t ever go down that route, if lawful invasion into your privacy is legally possible, then it is also illegally possible, and you’re way more of a target for scams, identity theft etc.

They’re too busy making lebensraum

I think power reveals. It doesn’t corrupt, it just allows people to go for what they always truly wanted

2 kids died from this terror attack

The policy isn’t there just to be extra nice, it’s because otherwise the patient dies without a liver.

Since she was too sick for a partial liver transplant, and not eligible for a dead donor full liver transplant, she would have just died.

It might seem cruel but the same is done for a lot of other procedures; if the chance of you dying in surgery is way too high, doctors won’t take the risk, they’re not executioners.

It’s not a moral judgement about her alcoholism, the same would have been true if she had a cancer no surgeon would take on.

A partial liver transplant wasn’t viable for someone this sick, so when the partial transplant failed, they would have to resort to a full transplant from a dead donor, or she would die in operation.

Since she wasn’t eligible, a partial transplant was just a death sentence.

No. A partial liver transplant wasn’t viable for someone this sick, so when the partial transplant failed, they would have to resort to a full transplant from a dead donor. But she wasn’t eligible, so a partial transplant was just a death sentence.
