Honestly the US as a strategic partner is just a joke. its nothing but sigint.

Lets not even start on AUKUS.

>If you're walking home from work and some person tries to mug you, even if they are unsuccessful, that will permanently change your behavior as if they had successfully robbed you anyway. Maybe you'll change your route. Maybe you won't walk and drive instead.

In global politics, this tends to make you want to increase your defenses so it doesn't happen again, and find local partners for that defense. This usually comes at the cost of US influence, not its increase.

Like Iran is looking at its current situation and going "The literal only deterrence we could have to prevent this is to develop a nuclear capability. The US cannot be trusted to deal with, and it is pointless to try."

A nuclear Iran can now only be avoided by scorched earth. Scorched earth will now just cause an already partly US hating population to hate them more and create matyrs. Theres no possible upside to this conflict.

They very nearly gave Elon Musk a controlling interest in the company. Their justification for not doing so was entirely vibes based. "Stupid" is a broad categorization, someone can be smart in some areas and do dumb things. You shouldn't let your personal appraisal for someones talent color the actual results they produce.

The bay of communism needs to be regularly watered with the blood of pigs or something.

Its a great way to diminish what lingering shreds of trust the (hopefully) former allies of the US may still have had.

The US has better ways to decrease oil prices internally that commit to losing boats in the strait.

What a weird country.

If no, then why does their disposition matter?

Found the assumption that caused the issue.

I read somewhere that Thinking, Writing and Speaking engage different parts of your brain. Whatever the mechanism, I often resolve issues midway while writing a report on them.

Nah I still rate "Windows App" the Windows App that lets you remotely access Windows Apps. I hate it to death, its like a black hole that sucks all meaning from conversations about it.

The cost in modern polity is worn entirely by those trying to prevent new laws. Civil liberty groups will run out of funding before they run out of legislation. Its a systemic issue that requires change.

And before someone wanders in here and suggests a bill of rights, they dont tend to bind legislators, they just force your civil liberty groups to test the legislation in court.

>No, Windows Start isn’t built on React. No part of the start menu actually uses React.

But then

>This is the Windows 11 start menu. See that Recommended section at the bottom of it? That is built with React Native for Windows.

Its not just the headline its the content of the article.

What it should have done is focused on this claim:

>Microsoft is also vowing to use its native Windows UI framework, WinUI, in more areas of the system

Because like they said, React Native is calling WinUI.

But trying to split the React/Native hair is honestly just tiring. Its like saying you dont drink Coke, and then downing a full glass of Coke zero. "Oh but what I meant is that it doesn't call any sugar dependencies at all" is just weird. Just say you don't drink Sugar.

Ok

>This is the part of the Windows Start that uses React.

Ok
