You could install Batocera and use it as a home theatre PC and retro gaming station.
BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•The civil war breaking out in Gaza with executions in the streetEnglish19·7 hours agoThey’re talking about the Popular Forces here, an ISIS-linked drug trafficking gang that collaborated with Israel during the genocide. Their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, recently wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post, despite being illiterate. When the ceasefire was announced, Israel said they would not give give them any support or amnesty lol. Now they’re stuck in Gaza with Hamas hunting them down. Moral of the story is never become a collaborator, especially with western-backed regimes. You always end up being left hanging onto the last airplane as it takes off from Kabul.

BCBoy911@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene open to healthcare deal with Democrats amid shutdown2·5 days agoYeah this pivot she’s making is actually quite predictable. She’s a populist and a good room reader. She’s also a racist, transphobic, QAnon freak, but she has her finger on the pulse better than the GOP establishment and is trying to get out of the room before the discontent explodes in their faces.
BCBoy911@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.world•Egypt is pivoting away from the U.S. and toward ChinaEnglish3·5 days agoCorrect, but you’re missing the key point that all of those governments are US-backed puppet dictatorships that recieve billions in American aid to prop up their regimes. They’re being paid off for their silence on the genocide with guns, bombs and spyware they can use to suppress the people who want freedom for themselves and Palestine.
BCBoy911@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.world•Egypt is pivoting away from the U.S. and toward ChinaEnglish124·6 days agoCompare the actual genocide that’s unfolding in Gaza to Xinjiang. See the difference? That’s why.
Additionally, the level of repression in Xinjiang is baseline reality for anybody living in any of the American-backed monarchies and dictatorships of the MENA region, so it’s not even considered unusual to them.

Curious that all of these “democratic freedom fighters” never stay around in their own country for long.
BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Trump reportedly ends remaining diplomatic channels with Venezuela, frustrated with Maduro’s reluctance to relinquish powerEnglish5·6 days agoVenezuela’s petroleum deposits are oil sands, very deep underground under old growth rainforest. Oil sands are mined, not pumped like conventional oil, so it would require ripping up all that old growth rainforest so that they can start digging. For that reason Venezuela’s oil patch is one of the last on earth that’s mostly untapped, and you know the American government is drooling at the idea of getting their hands on it.
Here’s what mining oil sands looks like in Alberta (Canada) as a visualizer:

BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outrightEnglish2·7 days agoHave you paid attention to whats coming out of western countries? They’ve doubled and tripled down on oil in America and Europe still has its pathetic addiction to Russian gas. Oil still rules west of the Urals, green energy transition is nowhere to be found. I’ve been hearing “Europe will wean itself off Russian gas this year” for over 3 years now, likely will not happen as long as Arab countries keep the price of oil at basement prices, at Israel’s gunpoint.

It had been hemorrhaging for at least a decade, but the Gaza genocide was the last blow. Even my boomer mom is sick of American broadcast TV news and calls it propaganda.
BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outrightEnglish2·7 days agoIn short, it’s just because of oil. And American interests, which is a longer way of saying oil. Israel is an American outpost in an oil-rich region and serves its purpose of keeping the other Arab countries weak, divided and corrupt by constantly dishing out violence, bribes and blackmail in every direction.
And yes, the UK is doing this in America’s interests and not their own, because the UK is not a sovereign country. It is a colonized puppet state of the Americans and has been since at least Tony Blair.

If the choice is the government bankrolling Marineland, the whales being killed or the whales being sent to China isn’t selling them to China the obviously best choice? Are they worried that the big bad Chinese will steal our Whale IP?

They’ve been ruled by one party for over half a century, and definitely not b/c they’re good at their jobs.
BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outrightEnglish574·8 days agoLiberals will ALWAYS end up siding with the Fascists to try to suppress the Left. Happened in Germany in the 1930s, and the dumbass liberals eventually ended up lined up against the same walls the communists and socialists were lined up against. If you’re a liberal today and defending this fascist suppression against Palestine Action: you’re next.
BCBoy911@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outrightEnglish491·8 days agoSo? I support Palestine Action and all actions they’ve taken to stop the UK’s complicity in genocide. It’s illegal to say this in the UK.
Better yet, look into the arrest of Tom Alexandrovich. He’s a pedophile who was arrested in Las Vegas last August for soliciting a 15 year old and DHS let him escape the country because he’s an Israeli with ties to Netanyahu.
