You do whatever you want with the resources and constrains you have.

But in my humble opinion, the best move would have been to migrate to LibreOffice and make a donation matching the MS Office license, or migrate to Collabora office (it’s based on LO), or another opensource alternative.

Again: that may not be possible for you personnally, and I’m not judging. This is only to remind everyone there are alternatives out there.

If you’re manly enough, spontaneous impregnation!! That will tell SO much about men who claim it can’t happen!

Let’s try “At last pregnancy for people strong enough to refuse abortions!”

Edit: typo

Yes but tHey wiLL tAx yOu!

That’s the beauty of KDE: you can make it pretty much anything you like and customize it: desktop icons or not, using the app menu or krunner, a mix of all, etc.

Blame the immigrants, Joe Biden, the deep radical leftist state, …

Or coming from Musk, brush it off claiming it’s temporary and the share price will do x5 in the next 2 years or whatever absurd claim.

Yeah, they do that in advanced civilizations, like deep countryside of Pakistan, or Taliban’s Afghanistan.

US loves to bash the EU for its heavy regulations. It’s true. These are the regulations that prevent overrich to get richer faster by ruining the environment, treating workers like slaves, etc.

US also loves to bash the EU for its heavy taxes, but this tax money funds public services, and limit the trickling up of wealth.

But there are still wealth hoarding billionaires in the EU, and they’re getting richer faster these last years, because neo-liberalism has the same result everywhere.

So much uncertainties and hypotheses:

• Iran is indeed waiting for the midterms.
• Iran is waiting for their hackers team to get the rest of the Epstein files.
• Iran is waiting to replenish their missiles stockpile so that they can resume the fight and wipe the US in the area.

We can all see the pressure on both sides to reach an agreement. It’s good to have so many cards on hand…

That’s (really) a political issue, not a company issue. Each company does exactly what it’s supposed to do: maximize profit for their shareholders. Even if they know it will end in a total disaster, they’ll keep doing that. That’s how the system works. Making sure the system works is the job of the policy makers.

Unfortunately, the policy maker is now in the companies payroll and so helps maximize the shareholders profit, there is no one left to look at the bigger picture and/or long term effects.

So the very first thing you think about when picking a superpower is one that’s primary benefit is deceiving people?
Not materialize unlimited amount of food and address world hunger?
Not healing any disease with a touch or better: remotely? Or materialize vaccines with a snap of fingers? Or capturing CO2 out of the air??
We had way too many Hollywood superheroes movies. Now people think a supe is either an invincible warrior or can do super nasty things. No one wants the least spectacular highest good brought to the world powers?

There are 750 billionaires in the US. I get your point about them not having enough real estate to host 1000 persons each, but usually, people considerably underestimate how many billionaires there are and how much they’re worth.

They wouldn’t have to give up their home to shelter 770k people. They could to it with less than 1% of their combined wealth.

I was actually wondering if Iran violated the agreement passed with Obama. As far as I know, they didn’t. They had checks from the IAEA to make sure they were not trying to get nukes. They respected their deal.

It was torn apart by Trump for no reason other than his hatred of Obama and put back sanctions for no reason. So the US is the part that violated the agreement, and Trump is the reason he can’t get any good deal with Iran because now, they don’t trust him.

Actually, Trump hardly respect any deal he signs…

Unfortunately he does. And he fucks it up alright for the rest of us.

These are secondary effects, the main one being their own wealth growth. Nothing else matters. Nothing else is important.

He sure makes a lot of effort to convince us billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Except when students have national scale exams. In Xinjiang, they start near the end of the night…

Actually a decent part of the world uses 24h scheme, and it works fine.

While you’re at it, adopt a logic date format.
dd/mm/yyyy makes sense.
yyyy-mm-dd makes sense.
mm/dd/yyyy is an abomination

Digest that, and when you’re ready, we’ll talk about your backward units system…

We’ve seen that trend for decades already. Neo-liberalism was all about trickling up wealth created by work.

But you see that in all advanced economies: commoners budget are tighter and tighter as cost of life increase faster than wages. That’s the expected outcome of neo-liberalism.

Now politicians pretend the housing crisis is an anomaly and car makers wonder why sales are slowing down. AI is bad, but it only accelerates and amplifies what was already happening.

“Of course it can’t happen to me! It only happens to my idiot users, and I am not an idiot!” [expense blows out of control] “We’re going to have to let go more people for budget reasons. You see people use tokens, and tokens are expensive! We’ll have less people who will use more AI to replace them, I was told the last version improves further productivity!”
