looks like grape juice (grape juice™ is not grapejuice juice®)

No, it’s like banning e.g. Quicken from an accounting competition. Or banning calculators from the AMC. Allowing AI would make the contest meaningless.

I tried MacPorts once and felt Homebrew was less confusing

The only source I would trust here that you linked is the famous 1998 CJR article. It just points out the misnomer caused by what we call the incident to point out that mass killings happened elsewhere while students were peacefully evacuated from the square itself. Of course I also trust the photos you linked are real. But just like the aforementioned myth (also explored by the CJR article), you perpetuate the myth of the crackdown being on primarily student protests when far far more of the dead were of the inspired workers’ protest, especially those killed as the army was heading into Tiananmen. Such violent crackdowns made it so Deng could not recover his influence until 1992.

Yes, students did stone and kill soldiers and Molotov APCs, including the lynching of (just) one soldier as depicted in the photos. But that does not justify the hundreds of protestors killed with live ammunition. Yes, there was no carnage in the square during the Tiananmen square massacres. Misnomers abound. But as a person I try to get others to understand me in communication. Yes, the “Tiananmen square” part is a misnomer. But who’s gonna understand me if I go about every day saying “June Fourth Incident”? Not to mention a lot of the killings were also committed around 11 PM the previous day.

I also did a bit of a misnomer: It’s dubious whether you could define the mass killings as massacres. My point was that China ordered the army to do what they did. It sounds to me like Kirp was characterizing the other regions’ hatred to blame for what happened around Tiananmen, which hopefully we can agree was not what happened.

China gave orders to massacre, so it’s no surprise they got a massacre.

Since that’s organized under each state they probably feel good about their own states.

sorry buddy but it’s “me” not “mi”…

WIN10 ACRYLIC MENTIONED

…used before they frankensteined in the fluent around win11’s rollout 😔

I wouldn’t say it’s to enter the games industry. It seems to just integrate into Apple the flagship game of their existing Apple Arcade distribution service and guarantee the indie devs some stability.

RAC7 is a two-person studio whose previous credits include indie titles Dark Echo and Splitter Critters. In 2019, the team released Sneaky Sasquatch as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The adventure game was a breakout hit among the service’s 71 launch titles, according to Apple, and it has received regular updates since launch. Now, the team will continue its partnership with Apple as an internal studio.

hey bikes are orderly!

The leader who stayed until the end (and one of the three founders, arguably the most important one a bit more important than Dugin, far-right nationalist who later went to Kremlin and got his daughter allegedly carbombed by Ukraine), Limonov, was actually a disillusioned punk who was exiled from the USSR: https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fblogs%2Fadamcurtis%2Fentries%2F20c22534-f722-3d7a-b7ba-0506fcc00063

Limonov took the punk vision (best expressed, he said, in Richard Hell’s song Blank Generation) and fused it with with Soviet disillusion. Limonov argued that that the West was in many ways just a more sophisticated version of the Soviet Union, with more sophisticated propaganda - plus a similar intolerance of real dissent.

kremlin absorbed the non-liberal half and then banned it

What’s the news? I don’t trust this guy if he thought it wasn’t known that AI is overdriven pattern matching.

If you redirect it all, it’s not a tiny portion.

The argument is that ICE can always find some rich BlackRock-esque real estate holder that doesn’t give af to host the camp instead if the asker terminates the lease, thus from a utilitarian perspective it’s probably more useful to hold the lease and use the money to lobby against ICE.
