Ramping up production didn’t reduce demand. Demand reduced due to a softening Chinese economy, mainly due to debt and housing.

I agree, it’s not excess supply when you can sell it overseas. However, its also not central planning when you wanted to Ramp up supply for domestic consumption but end up using capitalism to keep efficiencies.

Companies ramp down production all the time. What do you think redundancies and factory closures are for? They react to market conditions or seek new markets (as happened in this case).

I thinknyouve got it backwards. Central planning can efficiently produce anything. As in, it can make as much of a product at the cheapest price as possible. The problem is central planning is less efficient at deciding how much is needed. It will often over or undershoot. Thats what happened here. Tonsaybthey can still sell overseas, so its still central planning being efficient is incorrect. Central planning didn’t work to produce the needed amount so trade through capitalism is being used to improve efficiency of the capital used.

Yep, but with consent. I’m already happy they don’t his. OP is not. FOSS should aim for ideal behaviour to show non Foss software how its done right.

This shoudlnt come at the expense of user experience, so its always a balance.

Possibly only English language stuff found. Depends on your tracker search engines. Some not very obscure shows in english are hard to get. Popular or current shows though, should be easy.

No, no. Shes an incredible job builder and businesswoman. The odds of such a business mastermind being born to a mining magnate were very low, but she beat those odds. Nothing to do with the fortune of her birth.

Didn’t know that was a thing. Glad to find out. Gives purpose.

Yes but joker made moneybas it was pretty good and was different to expectations.

This sounds like it wasnt. Although, it does sound a little different to what I expected.

They tend to be more efficient. However central planning in China which ramped up production yet has reduced demand, means an excess supply.

So, selling to Europe or USA makes sense to offload that supply. In a capitalist, closed system, they would have ramped down production, but also wouldn’t have had the capital to ramp up production so quickly.

If they weren’t seen as a strategic asset, then Europe and USA wouldn’t care that China is subsidizing cheaper products. They dont want their car industries dead as then they are dependent on China.

Its a booked frog strategy. Chrome used to be great and was quite open. The internet has ramped up advertising in general, tracking in general. So, ad blockers became more commonly used. So it started to hurt them much more. Its a self perpetuating problem of cat and mouse. Chrome being the platform while owned by the largest advertising company was never going to end well.

However, there’s not much between browsers these days in terms of technical ability. So, hopefully the trickle of movers becomes a wave. Open standards and competition are better for everyone.

As with everything, it also matters where it hits.

Katrina and New Orleans’s levees was a big deal. Helene flooding areas many moles from the coast in high altitude areas.

There have been bigger hurricanes that do less damage and likely there will be future weaker ones that do more.

It would be cheaper to buy an iPhone than make a realistic fake. The issue is that apple can’t tell the difference and can be scammed over offering new replacements for duds.

Oh, I always thought it was mother load, not lode, so til for me today.

Usually with the arrs, downloads are not triggered by setting changes. If it sees a movie OE show that you have monitored, which matches better, it will download it. However, you can trigger a manual search.

So over time you may get them gradually depending on how popular they are. For anything you want now, you’d need to search. Depending on your library size, you can trigger a search for all, but that risks huge amounts of data and space usage immediately.

Men. Who uses cash?

I’d prefer free, unneeded and slightly less availalable than everywhere, necessary and rip off.

Yes but thats the point. You could offer the option. This site is trying to block open standards. We can apply a fix to correct it. Would you like to Tell site to fix it/Apply fix/Leave unsafe site

Then you have all options.

Lol, you do realise that chrome does many more. They were recently discovered to allow extra access to google meet over competitors. So not just creepy, but anticompetitive.

I think a more aggressive approach would be better for sites that dont offer compatibility with Firefox.

Do a pop up that asks the user to help make chsnge. First few users to encounter the site could be asked to see if they could find the contact details to let the site know about the problem. Once that is correct, following users could be asked to message them to let them know its a problem.

Keep upping the volume with bad publicity about their website not following standards and bekgn deficient and they will change.

Yes, but countries are starting to implement carbon taxes on trade with each other. So countries that don’t reduce would be tarriffed higher, to counteract this problem.

It is also why most agreements are multinational with targets to be met.

Just be aware that LW has delays due to size. My instance, it sometimes takes a week or more to get replies.

I completely agree. However, if its acceptable for a comedian it’s much less serioisnthan his many other faults.

This is one to add to the pile, but not a big issue.

Isn’t that just a rip off of Joan Rivers joke after 9/11? Crass and inappropriate, yes but its more a joke about the divorce rate than directed at the tragedy itself.

I mean, this joke is at least coherent. This is a nothing burger. If anyone is allowed to make jokes about an assassination attempt, would it not be the person they were trying to kill? I donfeel bad for the wife that its been released, as she likely wants no more attention.

No, its gay. Oedicoc
