X11 has a global DPI.

You say it works just fine, but how it actually works is like shit.
You've got the DPI set to something reasonable for your small screen, and you need a microscope to read it on your 4K screen.
And that's ok- people have a right to like the pile of shit they're daily driving.

Ah yes, the good ol' vilify your political opponents. Accuse them of treason and espionage.

Study this map.
When you're done, ask me what the blue parts are.

The KMT being pro-peace with the mainland isn't treason- and the majority of the population don't think so.
Perhaps people who think like you can take a page out of the KMT's book and kill all of the people who disagree with them.... for treason, of course.

I don't think it should change your position either.
That is, again, a projection you placed on me, presupposing my position.

I think one of the best things that could happen in the world for its stability, is Russia collapsing into a failed fucking state and giving Glasnost another shot.
I also think white washing the ill deeds of those we support because everything has to be fucking black and white is exactly the kind of stupid shit that leads to shit like the Putlers of the world.

Do you care to explain how I'm wrong?

lol. You really are just the most pathetic fucking thing.

See for example Jordan Waddy who was charged for the injuries to bystanders shot by the police.

The article clearly demonstrates that he was not.
He was never charged for any harm that came to the bystanders.
He was charged with 4th degree assault for an assault the police witnessed before they approached, and being a felon in possession of a weapon.

As I said, compare those charges, with teh charges against the officer:

One of the three officers who fired, Brandon Ramos, was indicted by a Denver grand jury on 14 counts in January of 2023. The indictments included two counts of reckless second-degree assault, three counts of third-degree knowing or reckless assault, three counts of third-degree assault with negligence using a deadly weapon, one count of prohibited use of a weapon and five counts of reckless endangerment.

Seriously, go crawl back under your fucking rock.

Comment Re:Trade Imbalance never makes sense. (Score 1) 36

They are buying up property IN CHINA, which is again just numerical garbage. They pretend their homes are worth $2 trillion instead of $1 trillon. Trade imbalance still exists.

To buy property out of China, that would be undoing the trade imbalance. But China hates when their citizens buy property out of China. They call it corruption.

Comment Re:Now do USPS (Score -1, Flamebait) 45

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

You don't think there's a geopolitical difference between the destruction of a non-operating pipeline in the middle of the ocean and a worldwide famous site of the worst nuclear accident in history, which threatened the entire region and planet in worldwide scandal?

Oh, there's a difference.

One is an act of war, one is an act in a war. Both bad. The geopolitical consequences of the Nordstream destruction though... Impressive.
What do you think would have happened to them if they had halted the flow of oil to the US when the US was more dependent on foreign oil?
How fucking naive can you be?

One that's on land within hundreds of miles of several EU nations and others? One that's a two hour drive from their nations largest city and capital and the site where there is a "Monument to Those Who Saved the World"?

Chernobyl may as well be 1000 kilometers from Kyiv. If you blew the dome today, the radiation would not spread that far. It would just further contaminate the local environment.
To the contrary, the destruction of Nordstream put the energy security of a nation paying their bills at risk.

Lets put on our detective hats. Nordstream there's a motive; destroying it denies future oil revenue to Russia.

Undoubtedly. And yet they gaslit the world for 4 years accusing Russia of doing it ;)
But that's such an elementary analysis anyway- there's always a dual motive for any false flag attack- to blame the enemy for an atrocity.

The motive to throw a bomb onto the shelter of Chernobyl?

See above.
The same applies- what incentive does Russia have?
Nobody gains from damage to Chernobyl, except perhaps as a false flag- Russia false-flagging it as Ukraine to demonstrate that Ukraine is insane, Ukraine false-flagging it as Russia to demonstrate that Russia is insane.
This is why I said, given that both parties are demonstrably full of shit, there's simply no way to tell.

Because Europe just isn't motivated enough, they need the threat of nuclear disaster?

Do you imagine that cracking the dome at Chernobyl is going to restart the reactor or some shit?
Sure, if you drop enough big enough bombs on the fucking thing, you can throw up a good amount of radioactive dust- but that's it.
It has a huge amount of potential to turn the Exclusion Zone into something far worse than it is today, but it's not like you'd have to evacuate Kyiv or Berlin.

I'm happy to admit that Russia is by far the more evil party, here.
All you have to do is admit that Nordstream was a page right out of their fucking playbook.

Agreed, entirely.
Ukrine, after funding and supporting them for several years, kicked them to the curb when it became apparent to them that they were going to need a lot of outside help, and Amnesty International was accusing them of war crimes.

Ukraine, at least superficially, corrected their mistake. Russia continues to do it.
Nobody cast doubt upon that.

However, when setting the criteria for "the bad guy", it's important to select a criteria that you yourself didn't set first at the beginning of the conflict.

No, it's fucking not. Good lord, you are tedious.

Yes, it fucking is, you dim-witted shit-for-brains:

I love Russian trolls. If you are attacking another country and your mercenaries are literally imitating SS uniforms, you don't have to ask if you are the baddies.

I can see it now: Headline: Russia attacked the United States. You: Yeah, but there are neo-nazis in the United States too.

I can see it now- person on the internet with an IQ of 40 creates straw man in lack of an argument.

We weren't discussing neo-nazis in Ukraine. We were discussing mercenaries in the employ of the government, who were neo-nazis, in both Ukraine, and in Russia, which the link I provided clearly demonstrates.
