The way I read about it they were merely talking about out gamma correction. Or HDR—>SDR mapping - I wouldn’t say the article is super clear.

No. I’m implying that in general, international trade works by shared openness or shared closeness. If one country or economic region puts an import tax on something, the reciprocal thing is likely to be taxed by the opposite partner.

I was responding to someone saying “oh this just creates a monopoly for Zucks” when in fact the Chinese social companies have a monopoly in China (an ENORMOUS market) because our products are blocked over there.

So what we are doing is in line with the norm in international trade.

I actually don’t really understand how they would do this. Isn’t WhatsApp end to end by protocol? They’d have to share messages at the client side. What a mess.

I couldn’t agree more. But the pace of disconnection is obviously the variable here.

It’s realpolitik in a country governed by FPTP.

Fix our broken election system and we’ll have center rigir/center-left governments like every other European country.

Europe is DEEPLY dependent on the US though. That would be suicide and economic ruin.

This article underplays the international games being played on this right now.

The very ship that’s being accused of the sabotage has been stopped by Swedish and Danish coast guard vessels and is currently being gently prevented from moving on. It’s a bit of a stand-off at the minute. Turns out their anchor looks all mangled up, so something has definitely happened.
