It’s not that easy to “just move” for most people, particularly if they’re not working in a professional field where they can get relocation with a new job, or save up enough funds to move. I say this as an American who moved to Europe, by the way.

I looked out of curiosity, they’re actually not doing well, revenue shrinking quarterly. Seems like other players are eating their lunch. Makes sense really, 10-15 years ago Dropbox was innovative but now? There’s like 25 other cloud drive providers. Dropbox isn’t really offering anything unique now, they’re just a commodity, and they can’t meet the package deal pricing of competitors (like Google drive being included with Google Apps, or iCloud Drive being included with Apple One).

Not arguing with you, but I think Gaza is even worse.

What’s happening in Ukraine is terrible - but it’s a war between two countries, that each have an army.

What’s happening in Gaza is something else. It’s a country sending an army on a civilian population. Palestine has no army to defend itself.

And if, for the sake of argument, you accept Israel’s claim that it owns the Palestinian Territories, then it means Israel is turning its army against its own land and its own citizens.

AI may be a useless meme but evidently it’s also a forcing function for reasonable RAM minimums.

Given the corresponding elections it would be helpful if publications would state “Georgia, USA” or “Country or Georgia”, or something. “Georgia (Atlanta)” vs “Georgia (Tbilisi)”. Something to that effect.

To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow.

Seems a bit suspect.

This is what I keep thinking. If we drew a Venn diagram of hardcore republicans and EV buyers, they would be two distant, non-intersecting circles.
