Yes it was, that’s why they kept the patents when they sold Motorola.

That would go into Natural Rights theory, which the US Declaration of Independence supports, but the US Constitution explicitly denies by legitimising slavery.

Sometimes classics are classics for a reason. And by classics I mean crabs 🦀.

Congratulations, your noob user is now using JPEG-XL. It’s not working on old devices, or any mainstream browser besides Safari. The less mature library also has a bug that allows for RCE and now everyone is running a cryptominer.

Now you say, but webp is supported everywhere, so let’s go with that. Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he’s wasting more disk space than before.

So I repeat, if you need one size fits all, PNG is better, it works everywhere, and it’s even more efficient in cases where lossless graphics matter the most.

The title is hyperbole. PNG is lagging behind modern lossless formats in terms of new features.
This doesn’t mean it’s a bad format or that it shouldn’t be used. In fact, it should still be the default unless you need something it doesn’t support or really need to reduce file size.

And don’t forget Iran will have F-4s until 2958.

Of the SI system. The metric system started with cgs (centimeter, gram, second) and evolved from there.

They were all done by scientists or engineers.

The meter was defined based on what they calculated as 1 millionth of the length of Paris’ meridian.

The second was 1/86400 of a day, which makes sense with the angle/circle nomenclature on the clock.

The gram was initially set to be the mass of 1cm³ of water at 4°C - which is why 1l of water ≈ 1kg.

There’s nothing in the SI system that says ratios have to be between base units. Units that involve mass are defined against the kilogram not the gram.

What kind of dumb fuck still goes to the US for tourism?

Everyone is betting Tonga will not get itself into a war.

But if it hypothetically happened, I assume they would be pressured to use an alternative war flag by the international community.

On a more serious note, applying international laws against sovereign states is always more complicated than to enforce them against individuals and organizations operating inside of signatory states.

The red cross sign has a very specific meaning and protection under international law. They don’t want the symbol to be used outside of the agreed uses because they don’t want that meaning, and consequently the protection it affords, to get muddled.

They also don’t like when a red cross is used on a random first aid kit in the real world.

Is it so surprising that the mindset that makes people unable to face changes in one area of their lives also makes them unable to face changes in other areas?

And everyone with a group of friends can do it, because the ICEstapo doesn’t identify itself when kidnapping people.

So weak, stupid, and with a rigid mindset?

Because neural networks aren’t known to suffer from model collapse when using their output as training data. /s

Most billionaires are mediocre sociopaths but Elon Musk takes it to the “Emperors New Clothes” levels of intellectual destitution.

Declarations of war are bad, but they were made hard to do in modern states. Almost every single countries have rules and procedures in place to make sure a hot head can’t do it over the weekend.

“Special Military Operations” undid all those efforts by putting all the powers back in the hands of a single person.

To be fair to the US Congress (AFAIK) no one as been formally at war since 1945 - and unless I’m forgetting anything it would actually make the US Congress the last ones to declare war on anyone.

Since WW2 everything is framed as a peacekeeping mission (when approved even if only implicitly by the UN Security Council), a civil war, helping the legitimate government in a civil war (US in Vietnam or Soviet Union in Afghanistan for example), or when every other excuse fails a pre-emptive special military operation (US in Iraq, Russia in Ukraine, Israel in all of their neighbours + Iran).

That ship has sailed decades ago. The US hasn’t been officially at war since 1945, and the congress has for all intents and purposes gave up on that power.
