Even if every book had copies readily available, trashing millions of books is immensely wasteful.

People decry mass book burnings, but when tech bros do the same shit, they don’t even blink.

Despite what publishers would like you to think, it’s not illegal to sell or donate used books.

They also chose to simply trash the loose pages after they were done with them.

Since 1931, technology has evolved from big rock, to big retractable pole.

Well, there were no deaths reported from this strike.

You could try armbian, they recently added official support for R6S.

USA has the Espionage Act. A violation of this law can be punishable by death, and whistleblowers and journalists have been targeted under this law in the past.

Do you not think that deciding to commit a war crime by intentionally targeting and murdering over 200,000 civilians, was perhaps a bad call?

Or perhaps intentionally targeting journalists, doctors, first responders, schools, hospitals, entire apartment buildings, is actually acceptable because the conflict will supposedly end sooner?

That type of flawed logic is exactly what led to atomic bombs being used to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, and is Israel’s supposed justification for their barbaric campaign against Palestinians.
