Many countries share information they have about imminent terrorist attacks with each other even when they don't have good relations. Russia and the US have done this before.

So there's no proper agreement, just a verbal one, something those that came after could easily ignore, assuming they were even aware about it. And we have to take their word for it because there's no proof. Very smart! I can poin

It's not hard and I understand your point, but you have no control over what happens after you die. You know that your wishes may or may not be respected, so destroy/encrypt what you don't want to be seen by others while you

The goal posts keep moving. Let's get back to what you wrote above. Are you able to find that agreement about NATO expansion or not? Can you explain why countries want to join NATO so bad?

by luuurker 3y ago
Please show me the document of the agreement not to expand NATO. While you try to find that, it would be great if you could explain why countries want to give away some of their military freedom and risk being dragged to other wars and join

You expect everyone to bend over because Putin/Russia decided to go down the "I'm a mad man, give me what I want or I'll nuke you" route... that's just not how the world works. I hope you don't use this ta

Good luck to those launching Sarmats too as they'll have to stop the Tridents, Minutemen, M51, etc. It's important to remember that while they don't make weekly threats, there are three NATO countries with land/sea based

You have Putin making claims about borders based on his own and very selective version of history, high ranking politicians (and their media) making threats about invading or nuking other countries, and of course there's their invasion

It's important to remember that NATO wasn't involved in the invasion of Iraq. That was a US/UK invasion, with a small contribution from Poland and Australia.

NATO is obsolete for whom? And have you seen the numbers of visually confirmed destroyed equipment and the drone shots of dead Russians, because that makes Afghanistan look good in comparison.
164.
by luuurker 3y ago
Probably because the US isn't making threats to invade or nuke European/NATO countries and Russia is? Just a guess.

It goes to the EU budget. They don't specify where the money goes to when issuing the fine for the same reason a cop doesn't tell you where the money from your speeding ticket is going to be spent on.

Apple typically makes good decisions, but they don't always do that or act in your best interest. And that's the problem with supporting all their decisions without checking if they're good or not for you. In this case, iOS i

The comment I replied to wasn't advocating for either of that. It was essentially an excuse to support Apple's decision to remove/break a feature because their OS isn't capable of handling a different rendering engine. F

I think we all know that a company doesn't have to improve their OS. What I'm trying to understand is why are they defending/coming up with an excuse for something that doesn't really benefit them.

To "hide" the notch, try Top Notch: https://topnotch.app/

by luuurker 3y ago
Top Notch is working well here with 14.3.1. This app only makes the menu bar black though, so it's not really a fix for what the article complains about.

I've been using Bartender since before the notch because often the space isn't enough. This is something macOS needs to handle better. The notch itself only removed some space, but the problem was already there.
