That’s very relatable, those weird Linux users always try to recommend operating systems to me, and Windows users never do because Windows isn’t a good operating system, so that’s why they wouldn’t.

Anyway, on the topic of operating systems, I find that FreeBSD works the best for my computing habits. I recommend you give it a try if you use a different operating system today.

Gets called a racist, immediately starts using slurs.

Out of the 11 countries that recognise Taiwan, 4 appear in this list. Paraguay, Palau, Nauru and Tuvalu. I think it’s fairly plausible that some of these 14 countries did not willingly vote against.

It sucks how Trump used his president-powers to do this.

From the article

according to Voice of America.

For all the communism understanders reading this thread: communists still want unequal pay for unequal jobs. The experts and hardest workers collectively owning twice as much as the average workers is acceptable to all of us and desired by some of us.

Our only demand is that you earn the money you generate, everyone earning the same is completely orthogonal and something anti-communists use to steer the conversation and misinform. It would be nice if we were more equal, but it’s not what we plan to further with our economic policy. We want everyone to own the means of production, and then you actually gotta do the production to turn that into money.

Stringent purity test being someone not actively furthering genocide.

Wasn’t mBridge meant to satisfy that?

I don’t know. The article quotes the Russian ambassador saying it needs to integrate with the banks and whatever systems are in place currently for each country, but that doesn’t necessarily mean SWIFT as well. But even if it’s a direct competitor, the possibility of future SWIFT integration has to be considered. I’d be surprised if they blanket never wanted it to happen.

The article doesn’t make it clear if they’re talking about something for people or just institutions.

You say that, but they have to get it right first go, and it’s also the question of how it’ll interact with SWIFT.

A complete excision of all overlap with USA culture.

Why did you name your instance .world?! 😭

Okay so you created a meme where you made someone say a popular opinion you disagree with. Then you made someone rebuttal with “You aren’t human” and the subject replying with “You got me”. What is the joke exactly? How should that be interpreted? Because I interpret it as “People who disagree with me aren’t humans”. Do you not see how that is both unfunny and offensive?

Democracy is when you can decide what your country does right? Like while the government is currently in power and stuff?

Israel was never a victim of fascism.

Why and how?

Perhaps there’s a benefit to letting Israel lie so the lies can be documented.

They signed a treaty so are beholdent to the terms of the treaty.
