I am still hoping it will hit 10% market share within my life time. I remember when it was predicted to hit that in 2010, obviously it didn't happen*. Of course for me personally, the year of the Linux Desktop was 2007 when I was finally able to use it as my main OS at home, I tried it before many times since 2003.

* not counting systems that use the Linux kernel but aren't considered a traditional GNU+Linux desktop.

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.

"Arabs bad. must have nefarious motive"

Gen Z is a better generation than mine

No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.

Not only is the inquisition over, but Spain is welcoming Sephardic Jews and offers them citizenship. This is how one Palestinian refugee from Yaffa got Spanish citizenship.

A 26-year-old lecturer in architecture at Birmingham City University, Iskandarani has been stateless for most of her life, possessing only a Lebanese travel document that defines her as a Palestinian refugee.

But after discovering that her Palestinian father had Jewish roots going back to Spain, Iskandarani was able to claim Spanish citizenship thanks to a 2015 law that promised to naturalize anyone whose Jewish ancestors fled the Spanish Inquisition.

“Absurdly our conversion to Islam got us exiled from Jaffa yet again for again being of different religion and ethnicity,” she wrote. “Quite ironic don’t you think being exiled twice for the exact same reason?”

He really hates his trans daughter!

The good news for Trump, is that the UAE is not on the list.

He is a shitty person

Branding

Dear Ukrainians, if you wanted unconditional support maybe you should have been mentioned in the Bible.

To think divorce during pregnancy is allowed here, but not in the US. Maybe people in the US shouldn't fear Shariah law if they are adopting even more regressive laws.

Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.

*Mauritius and Singapore aren't Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.

Maybe a stupid question but how come in a nation of 330 million people, many of them should be qualified, the people are limited to two bad choices?

Has it always been this bad in US presidential elections?

AI -and cryptocurrencies- use massive amounts of energy and the only value they produce is wealth. We don't get correct, reliable and efficient results with AI, and we don't get a really useful currency but a speculatory asset with cryptocurrencies. We are speeding into a climate disaster out of pure greed.

He is a grifter. He is not truly devout, he doesn’t follow the Bible despite claiming that he does.

Higher temperatures have been recorded last year but I think the heat is starting earlier this year?

At least the Fediverse exists.

Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, had an interesting article about abortion laws in some US states and how they compare back in 2019 before Roe v. Wade was repealed. Alabama, Iran, or Saudi Arabia? We Checked Where Abortion Laws Are Better for Women

That's the crazy thing, there's too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people's flaws and sins.

It is neither permissible to spy on the Muslims nor to reveal their faults because Allah says (what means): {And do not spy.} [Quran 49:12]. I'm not well versed in Christianity but shouldn't snitching be a sin in itself?

Remember when Google used to give good search results?

Clarence Thomas proves that progress isn’t linear nor guaranteed. What a let down after Thurgood Marshall.

Under the law in Texas, doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison, fines of up to $100,000 and revocation of their state medical licenses.

This is excessive. Way too much. Cruel and unusual punishment is against the US constitution.

Seriously, just consider the following from bad evil theocratic authoritarian Saudi Arabia:

Expat doctor, nurse arrested in Saudi Arabia over unsafe abortions

The Ministry of Health in Riyadh referred the two medical professionals to the public prosecutor, and they face imprisonment for up to six months and a fine of up to $26,000 (100,000 riyals).

Wise man. I don’t care about Dolby but I do care about loading

This reasoning has been going on for over 30 years. The US never wanted a Palestinian state and has been wasting time with the peace process while Israel continues stealing more lands.

Biden is funding a genocide that’s a red line for people who oppose genocides.

Genocide doesn’t become moral because Israel is a US ally, this is a condemnation of the US too

"Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism, free markets, representative democracy, legal rights and state monopoly on violence. It includes a large portion of the present day political spectrum, from the centre-left social democrats to the far-right conservatives and American libertarians."

Ad hominem, how enlightened. I waive enlightenment that normalizes genocide. Go be enlightened on your own.

For contrast the legal marriage age in Saudi Arabia is 18.

What is the punishment for a doctor performing an illegal abortion in Texas?

Foreign volunteers are restricted from entering Gaza. If we are allowed to bring supplies, it may not be a bad idea. I wouldn't mind getting send there, I have no other way of sneaking in.

He is making Jews the face of the American war machine.

Palestine has a strategic location on the crossroads of three continents and close to the massive oil and gas reserves in the Arabian Gulf. Zionism hijacked Judaism to justify colonialism.

As someone who uses both daily I prefer the shell of Windows 11.

Or Israel and Iran are both mentioned in the Bible and the apocalyptic Christians in the charge of the West only care about that?

A controlled opposition

longtime US policy of a two-state solution

longtime no Palestinian state yet... and wouldn't you think that the two states in the two-state solution should be recognized? when the US is only recognizing one it is clear what scam they are trying to play and now we see how it turned out

Extreme weather will make a lot of places rethink their infrastructure and whether they should even move somewhere else.

As someone who is sympathetic to the legal and moral Palestinian resistance by Hamas and other factions, I wouldn't mind going there and helping out.

This is why you also need government/public housing. When rents went up here the government had more houses built.

OP is arguing for more government involvement in the economy but doesn’t know it. The government can set prices and subsidize certain things, at least they do that here.

What a culture!
