Iran: Can I speak to Qatar?
Qatar: What is it this time—missiles or melodrama?
Iran: Little bit of both. Need you to catch some rockets so we look big and scary, but no one gets mad.
Qatar: So… you want us to catch your temper tantrum?
Iran: It’s called “projecting strength,” and yes, please.
@Powerfromspace1 #TLDR: NEVER EVER use any "#AI"!
@tagesschau #TLDR: Nichts!
- Hört auf mit "#CounterSpeech" entsprechende #Schwurbler-Argumente zu widerlegen.
Ich diskutiert ja auch nicht mit #Flacherdler*innen und #Holocaustleugnern über wissenschaftliche Tatsachen!

#TLDR This man does not speak for us.
...wrote that she "spent the weekend thinking about Friday's visit -- the actions taken, the words spoken, & how it must have affected each of you."
"I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base," Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com

#TLDR: @Pando rightfully complained that the school decided to just make #Microsoft365 accounts for their kid, which is in elementary school, without written consent, which no matter how one turns it around is pretty much a no-no as Under-12's even by U.S. law cannot consent to that!
@mpjgregoire @pluralistic yeah, ask #Anguilla about their #WTO suit against the #USA where they won a #retaliation re: #IntellectualProperty.
- #TLDR: Good luck with that!
IMHO #DRM should be outlawed as a matter of principle and #IP be subject to #FRAND licensing and cease to exist the moment it's not available for pirchase new by individuals and/or businesses!

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]
#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:
Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:
DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKING PHONE CALLS?
Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?
You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!
Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.
Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.
- Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!
So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???
- Bonus points if you have lazy fucks like #HMD (aka. #Nokia) who literally copy the #Safety & #Useage information for all #Smartphones and #Tablets and don't even bother to change "Mobile Phone" for "Tablet".
NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...
- I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!
Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...
- Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...
A more accessible alternative to #Unix (or #Linux or #MacOS also) #man_pages for figuring out how to do things #tldr #TldrPages https://www.howtogeek.com/man-pages-too-complex-try-tldr/
@FibroJedi still, that aay way beyond your question.
