But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.

Hmm

They were exceptionally difficult to find to install the app. That alone will keep them from being successful. Add to that that the app is not particularly impressive… I’m not sure if their chances.

Touché

Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.

Nice work Dell.

Porque no los dos?

You’re right. ITT I complained about lost nuance LOL.

I found on the internet it helps to be explicit because nuance is difficult for some.

What an interesting thing to say. Why would you think that I’m not?

Yeah. It’s pretty rad. I’ve been playing with it all day.

If I set my watch and airplane mode it also immediately locks the phone, but it also does that when it goes out of range. It looks like the app should work with any Bluetooth device so any wearable should work just fine or even earphones if you really wanted.

100% I hate the fact that we’re funneling money I’m anti-war but the alternative is definitely much worse. If we don’t support Ukraine, Russia gains power and a free pass to invade whoever the hell they want. If we don’t support Israel we leave a power vacuum and The power influence of the US gets replaced by either Russia or China. No good options anyehere.

Obviously, supporting Israel is also supporting genocide. It’s a classic catch-22.

I’m so glad I’m not the president! He gets to choose between eating a shit sandwich, and eating shit gumbo.

At least Ukraine has a pretty righteous cause. So there’s that…

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you trying to say that it being pro-war is a necessary evil? Are you assuming that the world would be less better off without powerful and breathtakingly enriched entities that thrive on war?

I’m not saying I have all the answers but I don’t think I have to have all the answers to be against war or to be against the military industrial complex. Maybe that’s just me. 😁

It makes me sad that they’re having to conscript the youth of Ukraine. What if it was my kid? What if it was me?

I hope they can end this fast!

What I’m saying is even the victors suffer the loss of many deaths thus the only winners are the military industrial complex supplying the arms and becoming enriched. Does that make more sense?

Слава Україні!

Because the only one who wins in a war is the military industrial complex, and they have fantastic lobbyists!

I found this app that helps to mitigate this issue. It disables fingerprint if your phone gets too far away from a Bluetooth wearable or in several other conditions. It’s worth looking into for sure though it is only in preview for now.

I think it’s an excellent choice for anybody that’s got to wearable. You could probably do all this with past or two if you had the free time, which I do not.

Neat! I wonder what the learning curve is like on that.

Unfortunately that time has long passed. Have you ever heard of plenary indulgences?

I think we’re really gets me is that they’re trying to play both sides right? They’re willing to have priests bless gay marriages but that’s as far as it’ll go. They stand up for human rights… until it comes to abortion, surrogacy, and bodily autonomy.

They’re just hell-bent on being on the wrong side of history.

What I’ve observed is that inside the Catholic Church it’s seen as something quite similar to American politics where you have the left and the right and they’re both pushing separate agendas within the organization and it truly is just as political and it truly is just as divided but the problem is what they’re doing here is making a statement that represents the entire organization and that statement is gut-wrenchingly bigoted.

After a certain point regardless of where you stand if an organizations doctrine is in disagreement with your own values You’ve got to just leave and the problem is a lot of the progressives just won’t leave Catholicism.

Hopefully this statement changes that and they see a mass exodus. Pun intended.
