Win-win, really.

Sure, but the US was still part of the anti-bribery pact until now.

Its also exceedingly hard for CBN to exit a contract quickly. Procurement cycles for things like printing money and DLID systems are years in length, generally two. CBN would need to wait for the next RFC cycle, and then simply not put in an offer.

They can’t just exit a contract for these types of systems, it’s not juice exports.

And if they kept doing business with a country taking bribes, they would lose their contracts in Canada, NZ, Australia and others. But those three are huge contract holders. It would kill CBNs business.

Well, it’s a bit more complex than that. As a company that prints money, they are required to audit and vet countries before doing business with them, and terminating business with countries that accept bribes, because they print money.

They also do drivers licenses, passports, and border control systems.

Doing business with one nation that accepts bribes could cause the anullment of contracts from every nation they deal with.

If the US starts taking bribes officially via moves like this, CBN will have to exit the country.

Apparently Waterfox can be installed through Obsidian, which I was unaware of.

I had only checked the FDroid repositories. I do not use Play Store.

TIL, thanks.

Are they only pushing to play store? I’ve never seen them on FDroid

Given this is mobile, Waterfox is not an option.

Fennec and IronFox are

Wonder if this means Canadian Bank Note will cease business with US State governments as there is a strong policy against doing business with countries that take bribes.

Yep, I just wanted to be specific about which AI named ADA I was talking about.

Strange. I never see that on Lineage, didn’t see it on e/OS either.

I do recall that behaviour on Graphene, but its been a couple of years since I had a pixel. Figured that was just an old version of the app.

All I can say is, https://droidify.app/

Once I installed it, I never used the official Fdroid store on any device again.

“Congratulations, you live in a society.”

Still one of the best quotes from the Satisfactory AI.

I hate to admit this, but it is about money. Canada at least will not allow Americans to immigrate unless they have enough savings to live for two years with no supports.

I mean, you bought an AI fridge. That’s on you.

Grab two large USB hard drives, have an rsync job to them, switch them out weekly and store the one that is not in use offsite. If you don’t have someone that’s a trustworthy a reasonable distance away, you can just use a storage locker.

Trump should stop breathing

This.

Please consider supporting anyone but Microsoft. Theres Luanti, but I would also highly recommend Vintage Story, its made by ex Minecraft modders who decided to build a better engine.

In many countries it is legal to promise a tax rebate when you are in office. Many cons (oops, I mean conservatives) use this as voting bait for people with no critical thinking skills, and then turn around and give their corporate masters and billionaires huge tax cuts that make those same voters loose critical services that makw them pay out of pocket.

In other words, “Heres $200 to vote for me so i can make your life way more expensive on a yearly basis through medical care, less regulation, less infrastructure repair”.

This is the same grift, but more blatant and obviously something that would never get fulfilled, which is why the number is so big. Bigger numbers make critical thinking fail harder, especially when times are economically tough. It tends to get cons reelected even when they are not doing well in polls, speaking from the Canadian experience in this.
