communist nations have been defeated by capitalist hegemony multiple times throughout history, mainly during the Cold War
You are aware of the many attempts in different countries to leave the USSR, right?
All of them were violently shut down, that’s why the system was able to keep going, but without violence against their own population the USSR would’ve collapsed much earlier.
Wait they’re supposed to be pronounced with J? Except JS obviously I pronounced them all with G
S24:
UI not confusing at all imo, just your typical Samsung Android. And obviously not slow since it’s a flagship phone
No ads
Not really bloated (comes with Samsung’s own apps + Google’s apps but you can uninstall most of them)
Decently fast updates
7 years software support (not only security updates but also 7 years of new Android updates)
Wouldn’t say 4000 mAh 50 MP sounds that fancy, but it works very well (lots of optimisation for the battery and good software for the camera)
Downside: expensive (~600€ new currently)
Chess (on Lichess, either browser or app)
Got time? Practice openings or play online.
No time? Play 1 minute games online.
Inconsistent time (have to go any moment) or just casual? Practice puzzles.
Hey that’s pretty good, 2000 series really isn’t that new.
Can’t wait for my 3060 laptop to get those drivers
That’s just crazy… When I’m sick I’m getting paid leave - when coming to work and they notice I’m sick they’ll send me home. This even makes sense from a 100% capitalist perspective, because it costs less to pay one person to stay at home and recover as quickly as possible than to have them spread their infection, making everyone less productive, but at the same time keeping everyone at work, greatly slowing down the recovery.
Vacation also is known to be net positive since even just one week or just a few days off every ~2 months greatly increases productivity and prevents burnouts. It’s like weekends but more extreme. You wouldn’t want someone who probably already is stressed because they have to catch up after being sick to also lose their vacation.
Those US-american laws don’t even make sense from the USA’s system’s 100% money focused view.
You don’t have mandatory paid sick leave but have to use your vacation instead?
That first wish is coming true with EV <3
I wish I could buy an electric motorcycle already, but they’re soo overpriced. Anyway, I expect them to become available at affordable prices within 10 years.
The only thing that used to be better was more physical buttons. And it looks like the EU will be pushing for that to return (requiring more physical buttons for the highest security rating).

Because of the cosmic microwave background.
Here, this covers it quite well on a very basic level https://www.space.com/33892-cosmic-microwave-background.html
I’m atheist but that’s not one of the reasons for it since you can explain it logically. The usual case here is that there can’t be good without evil (either there are both or everything is the same).
Example experience from my life: You eat great food at a restaurant every now and then. Then you join the military and eat bad food every day. After a while the bad food becomes normal, and when you’re at home and just cook something that was normal before it’s great.
If everything just is great, nothing is great anymore. If everything is good, nothing is good.
Well we know nowadays that the universe isn’t infinite, but is expanding, and the speed of expanding is accelerating. We don’t know if that will keep accelerating, if the universe will keep expanding forever.
Why?
US-only:
Call screening
Hold for me
Direct my call
Wait times
Call transcription
Answering calls with text to speech
Emergency calls on crash
English-only:
Speaker labels for Google recorder transcripts
Google recorder transcripts generally don’t work well in other languages, but at least the option to get a subpar transcript exists
Probably missed some
Yes, but Persen’s point still stands.
(And Pixels also have way less features here, the only advantage they give is access to GrapheneOS, great camera and AI photo editing)
How did you come to the conclusion that Ukraine is affiliated with national socialism?
I thought this was in the shitposting sublemmy
Cars should not be street legal. If I can get a ticket for not wearing my helmet, why do cars get a pass?
