I know my Gandalf like your average LOTR fan, but boy do I wish death upon these people...

Don't give them ideas. Next they'll cut the blood stream to your brain.

I feel sorry for your 1 brain cell.

I don’t think the US military complex consider that “less undesirable” than basically any other possible outcome.

Either I disagree about the preferences of those murder-weapons-vendors, or you misunderstood my intentional double-negative, whose purpose it was to emphasize that it is absolutely not desirable that budgets have to be increased for mass-murder weapons.

I am saying the military industrial complex over in the divided states of fuck all and everyone, would absolutely prefer if people bought from them, less so as a cash-out but preferably as a permanent source of income. A privatized murder-weapons industry in the billions is the best way of ensuring we will never get lasting peace on this planet.

that is the less undesirable outcome, but still it is depressing how primitive and fucking dumb humans are to still be bashing each others skulls in in the year 2025.

Never underestimate the corruption and stupidity of European politicians. "Divide and conquer" works like a charm on most of our corrupt assholes. See the stupid opportunist fuck that the Germans elected chancellor. His (our :'( ) government is pushing for the use of the Palantir(!) software from fucking uber-Nazi-piece-of-shit Thiel in German administrations.

Probably because they want those 5% GDP spent for contracts with the 'murican military industrial complex.

Oops. I thought that weird approximated constant was somewhere in the doom sources... Thanks I guess for correcting me.

Doom absolutely counts!

My apologies - somehow my brain replaced "evil neocon fuck Miller" with "evil neocon fuck Thiel". Understandable glitch in hindsight...

Fairphone has really gone off the deep end. 6 phone models in what? less than 12 years? That's what they call dedication to sustainability? Really? They used to say the most sustainable phone is your old phone, assuming you can continue to use it. Yet - my Fairphone 1, still in good working order hardware-wise, I had to "scrap" because no more SW updates. When my FP2 hardware (charging port) eventually failed, they no longer sold the relevant spare parts.

What good are exchangeable parts, if they are removed from the shop around the time that a well-treated phone might need them?

Yes, that's what I said, reduced to the relevance of this headline.
