Given that Trump-Putin talks are counter to the interest of Ukrainian sovereignty, and thus a mockery of the sacrifices made by millions of Ukrainians thus far, implying that forgoing them is the cause for continued Ukrainian suffering only plays into the narrative Russia is trying to spin.

Are you trying to replace the words 'community' and 'instance' with 'channel' and 'server'? Using non-standard terms makes it harder to understand what you're asking for.

In terms of searching for communities, no app allows for searching for communities on an instance-by-instance basis, unfortunately. As someone else noted, you could try submitting such a feature as a feature request for your preferred client.

Humanity absolutely was and continues to be the main 'CO2 contributor'; coal, oil, and natural gas didn't just dig themselves out of the ground and spew themselves into the atmosphere. The immediate halting of worldwide pollution is necessary, but unfortunately unlikely to occur in a manner keeping to the Paris Agreement's goals, particularly while Big Oil has such a strong influence over American politics and countries worldwide continue to rely on and expand fossil fuel production.

He's not scrambling to do anything, the headline is deliberately misleading.

Next to ElementaryOS, similar is misspelled 'simillar'. I'll bookmark this since I plan on switching to Linux rather than to Windows 11. Out of curiosity, if SteamOS is ultimately just an immutable version of Arch Linux, is the immutability of SteamOS what classifies it as 'beginner-friendly'? In terms of usability, in my efforts to customize SteamOS on the Steam Deck, I found the immutability to be a severe detriment to the user's ability to install system packages to install basic functionality to replicate Windows features, such as Mint Stick (the only simple, GUI-based USB formatting tool I could find for Linux).

Privacy and security isn't an all-or-nothing matter though. While a Pixel running GrapheneOS would indeed be more secure privacy-wise than an iPhone, not only would one have to be willing to do without a digital wallet, among other features that unfortunately have telemetry injected into them, but would still depend on the user not installing any of the common apps that would harvest data, even on a de-Googled phone.

RT is a Russian propaganda outlet, full stop.

Why do you think the U.S. decided to withdraw

Trump was elected.

what role did concerns about economic burdens play in that decision?

Those were the only concerns taken into account.

Do you agree with the argument that the agreement was unfair to the U.S.

No.

do you think it was a necessary commitment to addressing climate change?

Yes.

How do you think the withdrawal impacted global efforts and international relations

It'll discourage other countries from living up to the targets of the agreement, whether they continue participating on paper or not.

It makes China's environmental efforts look good in comparison, so the logical thing to do (if lobbyist bribes weren't holding us back) would have been for the US to outcompete China in that field too, since being a market leader in renewable energy is getting more and more valuable with each passing year.

did it weaken the collective fight against climate change or influence other nations’ decisions

Undoubtedly.

Should economic concerns ever take precedence over environmental responsibilities in agreements like this?

For long term economic success, those environmental responsibilities must be fulfilled to account for the negative externalities of any industry that pollutes the environment. Ignoring them offsets those costs onto others, artificially increasing short-term profits.

Although a boycott effectively rendered the 2021 referendum on independence meaningless, referendums on the issue in 2018 and 2020 in contrast had over 80% turnout, voting against independence by 56% and 53% majorities. As voter registration for those referendums excluded residents who had moved to the island after 1994, the issue of independence among long-term residents is, at the very least, a divisive issue.

In any case, suppressing the voices of those promoting independence, aside from being clearly undemocratic, will only worsen France's optics among New Caledonians. If the French government wants to convince locals that staying part of France is the best outcome for them, it needs to invest in the island's tourism and service industries to ensure its residents, particularly the disproportionately lower-income Kanaks, have an economy that will outlast the limited nickel deposits of New Caledonia.

Rapidgator is a file hosting website often used by DDL sites. It makes money by slowing downloads down to a crawl unless you have a premium subscription, as well as only allowing one download at a time for free users. As this is problematic for downloading multiple movies at a time, let alone TV shows, debrid services serve as a middleman by downloading files from file hosts such as Rapidgator to their own servers and caching them for their own subscribers to download for a set amount of time.

I can imagine the phone-to-roku streaming method working well, particularly given the simplicity of Roku OS, though in terms of USB drive usage, past testing on a dedicated Roku TV has been mixed in terms of codec compatibility, unfortunately.
