Good point, but unless the ustashe independently invented it, I’d consider it a Nazi salute.

Maybe they’re only a Nazi if they’re a card-carrying member of the NSDAP, otherwise they’re only a sparkling fascist.
How is a “pro-Nazi salute” different from a “Nazi salute”?
There’s a Files desktop app, which will sync photo folders as regular folders.
I guess we have different definitions of cross-platform but I think it’s unfair to leave Nextcloud out of the diagram when it has a memories app as well as one for facial recognition. it meets all criteria except an iOS app.
Ha, yes there’s some truth to that. Moral relativism has twisted the left in knots and many then struggle to reconcile viewpoints that are completely incompatible.
Oh, you feel the white man’s burden because the brown people are too simple to govern themselves? They need your guiding hand to help them along the road to civilisation?
Clearly the soda company and the rich still have water, so I’d hardly say it’s a “secondary cause”, but anyway, even taking all you’ve said as true, that still doesn’t explain why the west should get involved here. What would we even do? Occupy the soda factory and give free bottles to everyone?
I’d suggest reading the article. Climate change certainly plays a part, but overextraction (in particular by their homegrown Nestlé equivalent) is a major driver of this. I fail to see how that is the west’s fault.
Reading the article, it seems capitalism is the cause rather than imperialism past or present. Especially considering the Taliban were in charge in 2000 as they are today, could you explain how the situation would be meaningfully different without the (admittedly stupid) western military escapade? Would Talib like money less than they do today?
Can you expand on why they are suffering? What led to this current situation?
OK, then why is the first reflex to suggest that the west “step up”? Is this Schroedinger’s intervention, both desirable and not?
Please step up, Europe.
How is this Europe’s fault? The people of Afghanistan soundly rejected western assistance when they kicked us out and reinstalled the Taliban. Afghanistan has a government, the one its people supported and wanted. Let them take care of their own rather than turn to the “imperialists” they were so glad to be rid of.
I’m reminded of that Talib who was interviewed after the US pulled out; he missed the revolution and his new office job was sucking all the fun out of life. Who’d have thought those guys would make terrible administrators.
This roughly aligns with my xperience, although if they really get to know you some will be more forthright about their politics. Many look longingly to what we have in the west.
Not really startling. No big player other than Russia has ever been on China’s side RE Taiwan.
I wish Canada were doing more of that. We’re in such a natural place to poach the “good ones” but there doesn’t seem to be any concerted effort.
Can these samples be transported to another facility in a stable democracy?
Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.
That’s a weird element for the headline to focus on. From the article:
