Hopefully Firefox won't follow.

I've been in a lot of anxiety because of politics and what's going to happen and now after today I'm just scared. I guess I'll have to figure out how to live once this is over. Do I just hope to continue as before with things just being worse off or are things going to change a lot?

I've been just trying to rationalize that most of this is outside my control and have to accept the world for what it's becoming. I've already given up, I don't want dreams I just want peace.

The single launch also cost more than all of Starship to date.

I made it to see Postal Service. I tend to have a lot of anxiety and went alone. It's the small things to keep going.

I thought I read there was an agreement with accessory manufacturers about keeping the same port for 10 years. Because they didn't want to run into previous issue of the iPod pin port being discontinued quickly.

Surely all those do have FOSS alternatives?

Didn't Trump do the more important job of ensuring the conservative domination of the court to overturn it? People who didn't vote because she wasn't left enough are more to blame from my perspective. Voting for Hillary would have preserved it.

Sync is by far my favorite app, it was "reddit" for me. Now that it points at Beehaw it's even better. It has very good customization and fits right into Android's themeing and standards very well. It's basically the quality of Apollo, but for Android.

It does keep Russia from invading NATO countries.

I honestly thought it was already over $1T annually.

However, I still remained pretty worried about shipbuilding capacity, at least until the situation over Taiwan can be resolved. If there ever is a large conflict that causes loss in any significant amount in ships it will be very, very difficult to replace. The current shipyards have orders beyond what they can produce, but even more significantly there is a severe shortage in labor that can even build ships.

Also the comparisons he makes I strongly feel are quite poor. There is a large difference in the budgets of various countries in defense spending. Its really hard to argue that the US and France should spend in similar amounts due to size, population, and commitments. And the cost for manufacturing and paying salaries in the US is quite different than what China can do. So the US will always have to spend the more, though we do still in other measures such as a per capita basis its not as extreme as its made out to be.
