Since you are a South Korean, perhaps you can give some insights on how factual is the claim that the recent attempted coup in South Korea was related to tensions (and the possibility of starting or p…

India (attacked by China, Pakistan in the recent past) and Israel (I actually don't believe Israel has nuclear weapons but still mentioning it as that is what is popularly accepted today). Nuclea…

Yes, and I see the 8 year Iraq-Iran war as a sign of poor leadership on both sides. Just as I now consider Zelensky allowing the Ukraine-Russia war to drag on for 4+ years now as a foolish endeavour u…
comment
Yes, but I guess it was a poor example. I was thinking that technically, they aren't at war all the time. Every decade or two, they declare a war and fight each other, and then settle. In between…
comment
I can think of some: 1. North Korea doesn't really need a nuke. That the western allies of South Korea haven't attacked North Korea because it has nukes is overstated. The reason nobody has …
comment
> Iran has effectively defeated militarily the US, who threw everything at them ... Let's not lose track of the truth in the hubris. The Iranian strategy to immediately target all the allian…

NK doesn't have to abandon the nukes to have peace with South Korea. As it has abandoned re-unification, and now recognises South Korea as an independent state, they could move on to a hot and co…

It's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, named after Homi Bhabha.

It's been many years since Firefox dropped support for XUL extensions and XUL itself. It even lead to Firefox being forked, and Palemoon browser (amongst other forks of it) now carry the legacy o…
comment
How realistic is this? While North Korea has apparently recognised South Korea, the hostilities will not cease or end from the North Koreans unless South Korea stops hosting American military on its s…

Wow, have you really been maintaining that site for 20+ years now?

There is no real support for uBlock Origin on Orion - it's still very buggy and doesn't work. They do have their own adblocking built-in though.
comment
Both the Brave browser, and Vivaldi browser have some kind of built-in adblocking API. The makers of Brave browser even pay some of the adblocking list curators.
comment
Can you share your source for this?
comment
I am cynical about this move - this could be used by them to cripple support for uBlock Origin eventually, to keep Google happy.
comment
> What flaws exactly? It's not modular, for example. You can't just use the Gecko engine in your project. To do so, you have to deal and hack through the whole codebase of the Firefox b…
comment
That's his own personal style of "distractionary" politics. It's really no different from the commonplace adversarial politicking of other American politicians (that all seem have …
comment
You never know - when India elected a Prime Minister, from a new and inexperienced party, in 1977, he blurted out to his Pakistani counterparts on how India had obtained intel on Pakistan's cover…

Why do you think it is depression? My first thought was that they spoiled it by giving into its tantrums (I experienced the same with a pet in the past).

Don't forget the politics too behind it: - Facebook and Genocide: How Facebook contributed to genocide in Myanmar and why it will not be held accountable - https://systemicjustice.or…
comment
Netanyahu is a shrewd politician who is really good at manipulating American politicians. That said, the US (especially under Trump) doesn't go on to support Netanyahu's adventurism until it…
comment
Unless the US has turned from a superpower to a SuperIdiot, why wouldn't it? And note that all these repeated distant deliberately engineered conflicts are specifically meant to try out new weapo…
comment
As a foreigner to the US and its politics, it is both refreshing and depressing to see Trump as a President. It is refreshing because Trump is straight-forward and transparent that America has always …

Love your commitment to this. You are doing excellent work to keep Wirth's computing spirit alive. Oberon's philosophy ( https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Oberon/Obe…

It's not for you or me - it's for the AI companies so that they can have "human" content (good luck with that).

True. Australia is part of the Five Eyes alliance. Fastmail is an Australian company. Australia also has the Assistance and Access Act - https://havenmessenger.com/blog/posts&#x…
