nuclear power isn’t relevant anymore.

that’s not true. you just don’t want developing countries to have nuclear power.

Stallman warned us, we didn’t listen.

I’m glad to see BadVista still up https://badvista.fsf.org/blog/view/?set_language=en

At what point does this all just become sinophobia?

“Nuclear for me but not for thee”.

The optimal temperature for solar panels to operate efficiently is typically around 25°C (77°F).

It is 34°C (93°F) at night.

Agreed. Developing countries need clean and affordable energy

Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.

We agree on the essence. I am not going to argue over semantics and definitions. People have a right to self determination but not settler colonialism, we agree on that but disagree on the definition of Zionism. I go with the writings of Jabotinsky and Herzl.

Nothing excuses Zionism even if some opposes the actions of their government

A lot of progress needs to be made and laws and regulations are slow to catch up, but at least things are trending in the right direction:

Qatar takes action to protect workers from extreme heat

UAE’s midday break for outdoor workers begins on June 15

As opposed to regressing:

Florida joins Texas in banning local heat protections for outdoor workers

“Arabs bad. must have nefarious motive”

Summer started earlier than usual this year. The Saudi government needs to install more shades and outdoor cooling, as well as perhaps reduce the number of pilgrims allowed. 1.83 million at once, not counting those without permits, is a lot at once to take care of.

So they are forcing their own interpretation of Christianity on everyone? I guess that the US doesn’t have separate courts for other religions… So no one’s allowed divorce even if allowed in their religion? this can’t be legal.

To think that the caliphate at least allowed Jews and Christians to have their own religious courts.

They can’t prohibit it for other faiths though. Jews, Muslims, and so on can still divorce… right?

At least the Fediverse exists.

Maybe shouldn’t try to create a country on someone else’s land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.

In the UAE they steal from hotels

More countries should do the same.

Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.

*Mauritius and Singapore aren’t Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.

Under the law in Texas, doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison, fines of up to $100,000 and revocation of their state medical licenses.

This is excessive. Way too much. Cruel and unusual punishment is against the US constitution.

Seriously, just consider the following from bad evil theocratic authoritarian Saudi Arabia:

Expat doctor, nurse arrested in Saudi Arabia over unsafe abortions

The Ministry of Health in Riyadh referred the two medical professionals to the public prosecutor, and they face imprisonment for up to six months and a fine of up to $26,000 (100,000 riyals).
