That’s the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.

To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows… you just need to update to the last version.

But won’t you think of the poor insurance company ceo’s? How will they afford their next yatch if you cut them out of the system?!?!

Health insurance premiums are going to cost $28000 from now on.

What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.

It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

Timmy, if even charging a lower fee, devs prefer steam over your shithole, I’m gonna go ahead and say that maybe there is a reason: your store sucks. Big time.

2026 took away from us the wrong star from Home Alone 2…

As the great Pratchett wrote: All mushrooms are edible. Some just once.

I guess Gemini used that as base for its answer.

Look, you don’t need to demand answers to the turd:

It’s a bribe. That’s it. Your prez took a bribe to cut tariffs to a country.

You’ll have to define what do you mean “white male”. I am pretty sure I’m not, given that my skin is not pale-white and my hair is black. And like me, so many south europeans are probably much less white than they think.

I’m seriously expecting these ICE assholes will kill at least one or two riders (most of them are less than “pure-white”) with italian nationality to, soon after, see the assholes in charge justify it somehow.

Imagine being a fucking fascist who loves the taste of trump’s ass.

That’s more like it.

I want to see him try that. The moment he puts his filthy hands on someone else’s gold, the dollar will collapse. No ifs, no buts, the moment he tries to steal part of the gold he has stored there, everyone will want their gold back and, while at it, they’ll cash any bonds they have.

If you can’t trust that country to mantain such important agreements, you can’t trust it with anything. He’ll bankrupt the country in no time.

On the brink? Mate, you are falling off the cliff. You just don’t know yet because your brains are still trying to process that a fascist pushed you off that cliff.

But don’t worry, you’ll notice sooner or later. After all, you’ll have to hit the ground after the fall.

Only the turd? I feel we’d be underplaying them. Why don’t we offer them the whole US government, scotus, senate and congress and call it even?

I don’t think the second option is viable.

You have whole states loving the pedo unconditionally. And they would need to sign a constitution that specifically bars them to try and summon a new trump.

They simply won’t sign it. So you better start thinking as separate states that join to stay relevant and hope the red union that will shortly after form doesn’t have imperialist aspirations. Otherwise you’ll be in for a second civil war.

He owes us money because a paper says so. If we decide that paper has no value, we can simply act as if the money he owes us is ours again, since it’s just a contability annotation.

You don’t even need to add them. After all, that money doesn’t physically exist. It’s just an annotation on a contability book. Just erase it and the debt is no more. If the world decides to “erase” those debt annotations on their contability books, the US debt stops existing.

Yes, because until not long ago, the US were a country with shit stuff but somewhat reliable.

If you remove the reliability from the equation, one of the parties will most probably stop lending money to the other.

High doubt. Musk and other billionaires don’t have that money. They have shares of companies that are worth a lot… today.

They are rich, they do have money, a lot. But most of it comes from those shares. Is tesla’s shares drop to near 0 value, musk will have shit.

Also, the us can’t make any primary goods on their own. Whose iron are they gonna buy? Whose aluminium? Rare earths? Hell, even the oil will be a problem. Not to talk about electronics; do you think china won’t take taiwan if all this happens?

At a certain level, economics are just about good will.

If the whole world sees that the US don’t want to pay, on mutual accord, we can decide that they don’t owe anything to anyone, effectively cancelling the debt.

After that, the US will remain out of the rest of the world without the possibility of borrowing any money at all.
