So since there's no simple solution nothing should be done?

They should be thrown into the ocean, if you want my suggestion.

It's always the same argument, "the only way to fix leeches is giving them more money".

Hasn't worked for gypsies for centuries, it's not going to work for arabs now.

Re:Fairphone 4 with /e/OS by Murena now available at fairphone.com on Thursday September 28, 2023 @10:30AM (#37690108)
A bit of false advertising since it does not support 5G standalone, only the "fake" 5G NSA which is actually 4G.

Also, LCD screen, really underwhelming.

I was expecting much more for that price.

Back in the day of course. Now he's clearly run out of stuff to post. Which I guess makes sense, it couldn't last forever.
I am not saying Morocco is behind Al Qaeda.

There are many books written that explain how that investigation was a massive lie and that Al Qaeda has nothing to do with what occurred.

If your best defence of Morocco is "it's a beautiful country" and "you should go out more" then there is nothing left to say.

Not to mention Morocco was most likely behind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings

That's what they already do, but the genuine OLED ceramic screen can't compete in price with some crappy LCD screen with regular glass that shows ripples when you push it with your finger.
Really, an Ethiopian?
Which is basically the same as the government, because they are the ones voting for that totalitarianism.
There is no worse totalitarianism than the one coming from the government itself. What are we going to do?

I use adblock rules and the site looks perfectly fine. Every few months I have to add something new, but all in all, I don't have a problem with viewing wikis hosted by Fandom.

OTOH, I refuse to edit wikis in Fandom, because it feels like I'm not doing it for the community but for the Fandom company, which I don't care for.

Re:Minecraft Wiki has decided to leave Fandom on Sunday September 24, 2023 @02:50PM (#37636019)
The WoW wiki is also leaving Fandom.

In my experience the Fandom wiki will stay always above the new wiki in google, making this move pointless.

Re:EU fines Intel $400M for blocking AMD's market access on Sunday September 24, 2023 @06:30AM (#37631824)
CPUs: thermal issues, sometimes performance.

GPUs: terrible, awful drivers and compatibility.

Re:EU fines Intel $400M for blocking AMD's market access on Sunday September 24, 2023 @04:26AM (#37631156)
Or it is consumer choice.

For decades, AMD/ATI have been sold to me as "like Intel/nVidia, but cheaper". I've fallen for that trick several times and I have always regretted my purchase.

AMD will never get any money from me ever again. Perhaps I'm not the only one.

Not even for web apps. You should see how much CPU time a python web app spends doing simple things like filling an html template.

That's not true. An icloud-locked iphone is a paperweight. Only the components are worth something. Well, were ;)

Re:Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) on Friday September 22, 2023 @01:08PM (#37614622)
Thanks Apple for pairing more and more components thus making my phone a less desirable target for thieves. One of the reasons I will keep buying iphone.
I must be missing something because I've been seeing ads in Prime Video for quite some time.
Re:Volvo to cease production of diesel cars in a few months on Thursday September 21, 2023 @08:13PM (#37606222)
Not to mention all the restrictions on diesel cars driving through city centres. People used to choose diesel because it was cheaper, so this disproportionately affected poor people - EU's war on personal transportation continues.
