Does it really matter if the delivery system is inferior? Google says they have five thousand warheads. Even if 4900 get intercepted (98% success rate), 100 nukes will connect.

Also, besides the launch silos, there’s the bombers and the nuclear subs, which are enough to end the world by themselves

So you’re a communist that denounces every communist project atop an ivory tower, instead of understanding the realities of actually building a socialist society (no magical button that will make us overcome hierarchies overnight, I’m afraid). Sounds like you’re just larping about being a communist

I get were you’re coming from, but on the other hand most women put no effort to their profiles whatsoever. In my experience with Tinder 90-95% of profiles don’t even have a bio, so how am I supposed to filter people based on some pictures and three tagged hobbies (which are usually bland like movies, travel, nights out)?

Are you implying that you don’t remember that experience, or that salvia caused you memory issues?

Going by the same logic Iran is also a winner because they got a live test for their drones and missiles

How is that, in any way, answering the question?! You could mention some of those features…

Do you also consider remembering to take your wallet and phone with you a hassle? You’re creating an issue where there isn’t one.

But OK, have a smartphone and use it to take photo-notes, I do that too. But I also try to use libre alternatives for software even if they are not as good as their proprietary counterparts, because that’s the right thing to do for a lot of reasons.

Also funny that you’re mentioning lawnmowers, because tractors have a huge issue with proprietary software, with farmers having to resort to hacking their (bought!) vehicles in order to repair them, to avoid paying thousands of dollars to John Deere for “authorized” (read: extorted) repairs.

You agree that the corpos are “evil” and yet you do nothing to avoid using their software, you’re not willing to be discomforted in the slightest for a good cause. That’s worse than Stallman’s approach, in my book.

Why didn’t you bring a small notepad, easily fitted in a pocket or small bag to take notes of things to remember, instead of a camera? Dumb phones may have had note functionalities too, I’m not sure.

Stallman gives plenty of alternatives instead of just forbidding technology, but you’re gonna brand them ‘non-viable’ so there’s no reason to give you a list.

What’s your point? Monopoly does not imply innovation.

I use the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” extension for Firefox. I’d post a link to it on mozilla’s add-on store, but I found out they had to take it down.

You can still install it manually by downloading the extension file.

You can also achieve the same thing with ublock filters, instructions here (in the “How to bypass paywalled articles using uBlock Origin” section)
