I don’t think you understand what imperialist means.

NATO is a pact you optionally join.

NATO is an extremely good thing, it’s a cooperative defence pact amongst members who don’t wish to be invaded. It’s been very successful.

There’s a reason more countries are seeking to join it.

Objectively incorrect.

I have experience in KDE being a bit buggy too. It’s kinda crazy how powerful it is, but I guess more “moving parts” means more breakage.

After a while, I moved away from KDE.

In fairness, it’s been more stable for me than Windows.

I haven’t used KDE Plasma since Plasma 6 came out, though. I’ve heard people say it’s a lot less janky, so maybe my experience is no longer the case. Nowadays the only interaction I have with KDE is the 0.1% of the time my steam deck spends in desktop mode while I’m updating stardew valley mods.

And some watches cost far more than both.

Price isn’t always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷‍♀️

FINALLY

I’ve been looking forward to having a phone that’s more fragile and has a smaller battery, now I’ve found my guy. Thanks, Samsung.

You literally said you nearly burned the school down multiple times.

Correction: they’ve been doing it since Windows 8.

Windows 8 came out 13 years ago.

They literally do not lol

In game purchases in steam games don’t have to pay Valve, nor does Valve prevent you from uploading your game to other stores, which is what this ruling was about.

People frequently act like Lemmy users are different to Reddit users, but that really isn’t the case. People act the same here as they did/do there.

We’ve been there for a long time.

Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we’re used to it.

Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux’s generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.

People can put their energy wherever they damn well please. You can work on Linux phones if you want to.

This is the question that should’ve been asked before it was built and shipped.

Now that it has been, though, any effort to keep it out of landfill and find a use for the hardware is good.

Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.

My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.

Jaguar Land Rover may be owned by Tata, an Indian financial holding company, but they’re still based in the UK, designed in the UK, built in the UK.

That was broadly the same for Mini too until the most recent generation, where the EV version is actually a Chinese car.

Please don’t make stuff up.

Other stuff isn’t banned and the law already has allowances for emerging standards.

They had already agreed to share information with the Kremlin years ago. Have people been living under a rock?

I’m sorry my lord, but you did say to add the white wizard… How was I to know there were two of them now??

This source backs me up, not you.

Under the terms of the contract, the Chinese group has the possibility of converting its obligations within two years in order to become a minority shareholder in the French group - in the order of 5 to 7.5% of the capital, according to the documents obtained by Politico. But such a scenario, which would allow Huawei to influence Qwant’s strategy, can only be achieved if the Chinese group obtains prior among other conditions. According to Politico, this mechanism reassured the Deposit Fund. Qwant, on the other hand, assures that Huawei is not trying to get into its capital.

So, a 2021 source says Huawei, in accordance with agreements, could possibly take a 5 to 7.5% stake as long as they did it within two years. It then states that this isn’t something Huawei actually intends to go ahead with.

It’s been well over two years, Huawei indeed didn’t take a stake in Qwant, and Qwant is still entirely French-German.

With that above information, you went online and lied, saying Huawei owns Qwant. They do not. You lied. And now you’re doubling down on it.

Bit suspicious, by the way, that you’re a new account with only 3 comments, all of which spreading misinformation.

Qwant is owned by Huawei.

No it isn’t.

Why are you lying like this? What’s the goal?

Qwant is based in Paris and its owners are:

• Jean-Manuel Rozan

• Éric Léandri

• Patrick Constant

• Caisse des dépôts et consignations (basically a public investment institution owned by the French government)

• Groupe Axel Springer (an online media company based in Germany)

So again: why did you lie? What’s the goal here?
