The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.
That rice was heinous though.

News@lemmy.world•Carney says he expects U.S. to 'respect Canadian sovereignty' after Alberta separatists meet with Trump team
61·3 days agoI think he probably believes this too, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t say otherwise as that would cause a huge panic.
A headline that reads to the effect of “Mark Carney believes that Canadian sovereignty is at risk from the US” would cause nothing but problems for us.

The party seems to be a venn diagram.
On one side, you have racists, and on the other side you have rich people who want to plunder the state
Then in the middle you have rich people that compromised to kill brown people for as long as it’s profitable

113·15 days agoI get what you’re saying, but it’s not really true.
If the only program you run is a web browser, then you’re probably right, but only because Linux expects you to know how to use your computer and install updates yourself.
Linux has achieved a very stable OS that offers a very granular experience, which is great if you know what you’re doing, but if you don’t, it’s pretty arcane. The ability to configure everything on your system exactly how you want it to run is a double edged sword.
If you want anything beyond what is offered out of the box, you’ll need to interact with the terminal at some point, which is a pretty steep learning curve for the average user.

37·16 days agoI’m not so sure
Assuming she is appointed as the leader of the country, she can use that position to save people from callous deaths that would otherwise happen with a full US occupation.
It’s a harm reduction measure, rather than a path to victory

politics @lemmy.world•Trump accepts Nobel medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Machado
195·16 days agoI’m sure this was a difficult choice.
It’s basically this, and hope that it buys enough goodwill with Trump to let you take over the government there, or you keep it and let the US operate the government as a puppet state.
Ultimately, if this pays off, the medal is a pretty cheap price to pay all things considered

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that the pink Nintendo character is named Kirby after lawyer John Kirby who helped Nintedo with their lawsuit against Universal about the usage of the name "KONG"English
70·20 days agoThis case was absolutely wild too.
Universal was arguing that Nintendo infringed on their brand, as they have done with a bunch of companies in the past.
Those companies typically just adhered to C&D rather than fight it, but Kirby was sure he could win it.
Kirby spent the first part of the case arguing all the ways that Donkey Kong was different from King Kong, and then closed his argument by citing a case between Universal and RKO pictures(The studio that made King Kong), where they themselves had successfully argued that King Kong was in the public domain.

Valve got to where they are by simply being the option that offered the most convenience to end users.
All the things this lawsuit is challenging are true. Valve does have a defacto monopoly on PC games distribution, they do not let you buy DLC on other platforms for games you own on steam, and they do take a 30% cut of sales.
Having these be limited by government regulation is a good thing. It would increase interoperability and increase competition in the space.
If those things get changed, people will still continue to use Steam because they continue to offer a service that “just works”. Every other storefront that has attempted to compete seems to either trip over itself by trying some anti-consumer behavior to increase short term profit(EGS, Uplay), lack discoverability features(itch), or not offer enough benefit to endure cost of change(GoG)
