I don’t think he’s being naive, he knows Trump is going to hang him out to dry, and he can’t win without ongoing US support. So if he’s come to the conclusion that defeat is inevitable, or at least that victory is impossible, then it makes sense to start posturing to that effect, to try to get the best outcome possible later at the negotiating table.

Mr Netanyahu, please stop dropping bombs on Gaza, ok? Anyway, here are some more bombs. All the bombs you want in fact, at our expense!

My dude, you’re posting on a social comments platform. If you don’t want other people to comment, then why post here?

Not that I in any way support Israel’s campaign of violence, but I’m not sure these kinds of headlines and questionable news sources are doing anyone any favours. For those of us who already oppose the Israeli campaign, there’s nothing new here. For those who do, these kinds of sensationalist posts just push them farther back into their views. The best case scenario is to open peoples’ eyes to the harm Israel is doing and convince them to change their opinion, and I feel a neutral and objective tone on the trail of destruction they’re doing speaks for itself.

Why do all the Polynesian countries support Israel so strongly?

I say this as a Swift developer (and Obj-C before that), who’s built apps on Apple platforms for 20 years. I love the language and I love developing for Mac and iOS. But why would you reach for Swift for a cross platform browser? The support on Windows and Android is in its infancy, and it’s not a widely known or used language in the context of system programming. I’d never write a mobile app in any other language, but I’d never write a browser engine in this one.

Does this just mean they want to be only fans and basically paywall all the porn subreddits?

Well, that depends. If it’s a board of puppets to continue Israeli rule, then no. If it’s a decently representative cross section of Palestinians who have a mandate to transition to independent statehood and democratic rule, then yes. But I really doubt it’ll be the second one.

Will he be allowed to enact any reform? I was under the impression that the supreme leader is effectively dictator and able to overrule any policy, and the president is more a logistical administrator.

I dunno. It may have been on the table at one point had they continued to work towards improving infrastructure and combating corruption. But once Erdogan turned autocrat, that door was closed.

They are practically the same thing.

Technically not really, I just said WebKit to avoid breaking down the whole fork situation in my comment. Blink isn’t that different in reality so, WebKit for simplicity. Safari and Chrome are much closer to one another than Firefox is to either, so 🤷‍♂️

I mean… yes? If you’re saying that Chrome sucks now, then why would you want to switch on some platforms but not others?

There are a ton of other WebKit/Blink based browsers to choose from! Safari, Vivaldi, Brave… not to mention good old Firefox and Gecko!

It is excellent by global standards, but has suffered in recent years from setbacks. So while it’s better than almost anywhere else (besides maybe Switzerland, Austria and Japan), from the perspective of someone living in Germany, it’s declined of late. I think this explains why you often hear negative comments from Germans but positive from others.

Are we assuming we’re allowed to use defines and templates? 😏

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this one…

Articles like this are so disingenuous. UK news has been reporting things like this for several years now, always trying to make it sound like it’s us mean old continental Europeans who are forcing our evil rules on the poor blameless Britons. As opposed to being the exact thing they themselves voted for. Hello and fuck you from sunny Portugal, dear Brexit voters!
