The recent policy update under Brig. Gen. David R. Everly reversed a 2022 rule". This “rule” is very new and was likely found to harm wartime readiness after trying it out.

Likely according to what evidence? You’re making an assumption here. I have zero reason to assume good faith with Trump and Hegseth changing anything right now, why should you?

That’s just the loudest voices, not the majority.

Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.

Waze was sold to Google though.

Instapaper is still going strong.

Apple also has Reading List built into safari and iPhone.

So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?

UAE ≠ Saudi Arabia

This is just plain anti-Arab racism. They’re not all alike. I deeply dislike the Emirati government but you’re not helping.

Tesla’s advantage was their charging network and that advantage evaporated when Musk opened the network to all other cars so he could slurp up that NEVI money (the money that Trump is ending).

Now there are multiple better alternatives to Tesla.

I kinda had the same “look on the bright side” outlook for Covid and was disappointed.

I absolutely love RetroDeck and it was the reason I picked up a SteamDeck. Kudos!

Close. French fries were renamed because France refused to join the Iraq war, stating they looked at the intelligence and didn’t see evidence of WMDs. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that this was “Old Europe” talking and that the Eastern European countries were more willing to join the war.

IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.

If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.

The IDF uses plenty of Microsoft technology including Azure. The details of Lavender are classified.

This type of people exist in every generation, whether forming a mob to enforce segregation or engaging in pogroms.

X does it more like the second one, but there’s nothing stopping mastodon from doing it like the first.

Not quite.

DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha , Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from  sites such as wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.

It’s day 25. So Trump broke his campaign pledge to be dictator “only” on day one.

Nope. Although one explorer did call it Gulf of Florida at one point.

I don’t. DuckDuckGo and an alternative email provider are wonderful.
