Can highly recommend GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9. Everything just works, much easier to set up and keep up to date than LineageOS as well.

Seems to me that Gates wouldn’t have had this problem if he wasn’t a dirty pedo.

The thing to keep in mind here is that the UK is just playing musical chairs on the titanic. The major parties just want to keep doing business as usual, and the living standards continue collapsing as a result. Since they’re incapable of making any substantive changes that would improve the situation, there’s instead theatre of PMs getting shuffled in and out.

I see no issue with locally run models like Z-Image Turbo. They take very little resources to run, so there’s no real issue with energy use here. They produce good results when prompted properly.

The whole theft of artist work applies to commercial models where companies are profiting of other people’s work. However, I simply don’t see the argument when it comes to open models that anybody can use freely, and especially in cases where you’re not producing images for profit.

I can tell why you didn’t want to link to the whole site because it completely undermines your narrative of cherry picked short term data which is not indicative of long term trends. Meanwhile, Russian oil revenue has shot up significantly thanks to the global oil shortages, and it represents a smaller percentage of economy as well. So, what we’re actually seeing is that there isn’t any significant shift compared to previous years, while revenue has shot up. https://energyandcleanair.org/may-2026-monthly-analysis-of-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/

Right, you’re talking about panic buying, but that’s not an indication of actual structural problem. And yeah given the bad media coverage close to election, I can’t imagine that’s gonna get addressed quickly.

The only place where there appear to be any actual shortages is Crimea where delivering fuel was always been a logistics problem. These stories about Ukrainian drones affecting Russian oil production have been running for over a year now, but when you look at the actual production numbers it’s very clear there is zero visible effect. The whole context for this thread is a Bloomberg article saying that Russia is shipping out oil at record pace now.

Sort of, if they did this unprovoked that would’ve really hurt their geopolitical standing and would’ve caused further isolation. But now that burger reich attacked them, everybody sees that it was a reasonable response. And now that it’s been done, Iran can leverage it going forward by setting up some environmental protection fee or whatever, definitely not a toll though.

Pinprick attacks on refineries don’t actually have a big impact. They get a lot of media, but they don’t actually cause major disruptions for more than a few days. If you look at the size of oil refineries you’ll quickly realize that a single drone isn’t going to do much to them. This sort of propaganda is aimed at people who have no clue how this stuff actually works, and just look at pictures of smoke and think Russian oil production has completely stalled while in reality it’s largely unaffected.

If this turns out to be true, it might actually be a sign that Iran won the war and the US is settling on their terms.

So, now it’s now been proven in court: this US puppet tried to restart the Korean War with covert acts of aggression against the DPRK.

Really highlights how the west is no longer economically relevant.

Except it’s not just Trump. Everybody in the chain of command is culpable and directly complicit. Every single one.

Yup, attacking water systems is a violation of the Geneva conventions and a clear unlawful order of which members of the military are compelled to not follow as they are bound by the Geneva Conventions and trained on it.

Protocol I (Article 54) and Protocol II (Article 15) of the Geneva Conventions prohibit attacking, destroying, or rendering useless objects indispensable to civilian survival, such as drinking water installations, dams, and dykes.

Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits collective penalties and all measures of intimidation or terrorism. Threatening to cut off electricity and water to an entire population as a means of coercing political compliance clearly constitutes collective punishment.

Destroying Iran’s electric and water supply is a war crime

That’s obviously a war crime, but we shouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Yet, Iranian officials have also been posting this

They didn’t even bother coming up with pretext when they attacked Iran initially, I don’t see why they would now. Iran is also openly saying they shot that piece of shit down.

we can’t rule out a laundry fire

I very much underestimated how irrational the west would be here. At this point I’m not going to be surprised if Europe joins the war directly and we end up in a nuclear holocaust.
