From the sound of it, this was a commercial Filipino fishing vessel that likely rammed the Chinese ship by accident because the Chinese navy damaged that ship with powerful water cannons.

I have windows 11 because it came with a new pc. The damn thing crashed so much it reminded me of bad windows from the old days. Don’t get it YET if you don’t have to.

It’s stupidly written like AI.

Sorry Guardian. It’s been long known around the world about these scam centers. Only the Guardian and its reporters may have been the ignorant ones. There are also massive centers in Cambodia. Chinese crime syndicates have been setting these up in other parts of South East Asia and Africa as well.

China is also building coal power at an unprecedented rate. https://www.carbonbrief.org/chinas-construction-of-new-coal-power-plants-reached-10-year-high-in-2024/

Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August.

Someone explain to me how I am to see this “rate” as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it’s declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?

Barbaric. Uncivilized.

US has snuck these mobile missile systems into the Philippines. At first they said missiles were there temporarily as part of joint military exercises, but delayed removing them. It’s now been a few years since and these missiles have become a fixture over there. Chinese are going to come out with a warning about this “provocation” by the US and Philippines soon.

Oh look at this. Trump is making friends out of enemies! He surely deserves the Nobel Peas Prize! (sarcasm, intentional misspelling)

Honestly, someone hurry up and launch an alternative! Chinese are setting up one but I wouldn’t trust them either.

It is strategic necessity for China for energy security and for their own environment. Their predominant source of electricity has been coal which they have abundant of but is polluting the air they breathe. Does anyone recall the issues they had at Beijing Olympics? They have insufficient sources of oil and gas domestically. Alternative energy sources are their best domestic source of energy.

So let me give you an update. It’s not been the Rohingyas they’ve been murdering. They’ve been murdering everybody else in the last 4 years. The state Rohingyas live in have fallen into the hands of Arakan Army who are comprised primarily of the natives of the state, called Arakans. Ironically, Junta has been attempting to revive Rohingya guerillas, arming Rohingya militants and fighting along side them against Arakan Army in Arakan State.

“The ban was brief, as the vice president’s account was reinstated just minutes later,” the report says. “It does not appear that the vice president’s post ran afoul of any of Bluesky’s community guidelines.”

For most things. I’m sure there’ll be carve-outs for his bribers. We’ll have to wait for details.

This is still too high IMO. What are the carve-outs? EVs? iphones? laptops?

What do you mean TACO aren’t they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?

According to world directory of modern aircraft, this comprises 33% of Russian bomber fleet of 120: https://www.wdmma.org/russian-air-force.php. Not the entire fleet, but a significant loss for Russia.

You can’t generalize the entire race like that though. That’s why they banned you. There are Jews and Israelis who dissent from what the current Israeli government is doing.

Nor is it possible to ignore what has been happening in some Israeli military units, including special forces, where the best and most daring soldiers serve. There have been too many incidents of cruel shooting at civilians, of destruction of property and homes, even when this should not happen. There is too much looting and theft from homes, about which in many cases Israeli soldiers have boasted. Some have gone as far as posting about their antics online. Israelis are committing war crimes.
