  • To the people saying this will be like Vietnam: that was a conflict between the rising mightiest superpower the world has ever seen and an agrarian economy that has undergone colonial occupation that had brought it to its knees, the superpower still lost. The current US may be stronger militarily on paper but on every other respect it is in decline (there is a possibility the US military is in decline as well but we cannot see it). I don’t think an attack on Venezuela will go well for the US, in fact a full blown war could be the catalyst that shows the superpower’s weaknesses more than anything else.






  • Yeah, it is extremely difficult to troubleshoot the notifications on android since the settings are so convoluted. One never knows exactly where the problem is. I hope linux phones becomes a viable alternative soon because enshitification is rapidly making mobile devices unworkable.

The difference between fossify and the ugly bloated bullshit google is pushing nowadays is stark. The only problem I have had was with calendar not sending notifications properly but I suspect that was android derping and not a problem with the app itself.
