I'm interested in why people think this is wrong, in case this is the reason for the downvotes.

And coincidentally, Venezuela has heaps of oil.

Do you trust the banking app installed from Aurora enough to do your online banking? I don't, and I really wish there would be a decent way to verify that the installed/provided apps are legit. For me this is the biggest downside of using GrapheneOS, which I'm otherwise extremely happy with.

(for me, the whole point of using GrapheneOS is privacy and not sending data to Google, so using the PlayStore is not an option)

The article reminds me on smart and competent people, that in addition to being smart lack the feeling for social norms and empathy. Yes, they tend to unnecessarily run into arguments and fights. Not because they are right, but because they are really insisting on being right. They are pushing the "enemy" into a corner where they would have to declare defeat in public and take the shame. Like animals, their opponents get very uneasy and aggressive in such a situation. People who watch this hate the "clever" person for not handling this more gracefully, and are afraid of being themselves caught in the corner the next time. You lost. Without knowing the author personally its hard to tell, so this is just my hypothesis/thought.

I disagree on one point though: You don't have to stop arguing, you just should do it differently. You will really "win" when the other person thinks it was actually their own idea, or that you came to this conclusion together. You can do so by staying kind, humble and polite and guide the other person towards this revelation, and offer small thoughts and hints. If you have charisma you can be more direct, but such people are in a different league anyways.

The most important thing is staying friendly and kind. You will never convince or win people with an offensive "YOU ARE WRONG!" attitude.

It was very obvious that Trump is a highly corrupt and incompetent person at the second term election. His voters do not disappear when he is in prison, neither would the US reputation suddenly be way better. Who will these people elect next, why should anyone trust the US anymore?

Imprisonment would be a good starting point though. Together with education, regulation and reforming the political system. But this takes decades.

He isn't really hitting an opponent though, he is mainly hitting the U.S.

I wonder whether frogs have a tale about how humans behave on a warming up planet.

As bank I'd look into these 4.x % of loans where the machine learning disagrees. This headline feels like 20 years old though, except for calling it "AI".

When receiving the vaccination in Austria, I was told to avoid physical activity or sports for three days. The nurse told that a befriended doctor was treating a couple of patients, all of them young males, with myocarditis after the vaccination. Does anybody else have a source for that? The article unfortunately doesn't mention this. But maybe in the US military, and among young fit males in general, such an exercise pause isn't taken.

Sure, none of them native though.

Thank you, this comes in handy and was really missing! It's sad that the newest phone supporting lineage 17.1 and a swappable battery is from 2015. Another nice feature would be to list the phones that unofficial lineage images exist for - like my moto G5 which works very well.
