Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn’t some abstract entity you have no power over, and it’s not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.

Might be the American way, but it’s mainly Europe that will take the heat in an all out war against Russia.

Also, how does it end? Anyone really thinks Putin will surrender after 3-4 missiles hit Moscow? Come on.

Aaaaand why would CloudFlare want to teach the computers to mimic mouse movements?

Wait till you see it’ll take 1 year to from 27 to 40

Oddly specific

Well, some people might see things different than you do, and it’s always possible to learn something new by listening to them. But you seem to think you’ve got it all figured out and you have nothing to learn from others. So yeah, a part of your dating problems might come from that.

That being said, it’s crazy that some people give so much importance to money in looking for a romantic partner. I mean, past 30 you should be somehow financially independent… going on a date with the expectation of meeting someone who could raise your standard of living sounds like something from the 19th century.

Exactly what I was thinking. With the he US growing more unstable every day, while already helping Ukraine and Israel, the timing looks good for China.

I wouldn’t say “before September” cause China might want to wait until after the 2024 election. But before the end of 2025 for sure.

There’s a special place in hell for you

Can’t say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.

Linux distros are maintained by people that want to create the best OS possible. Windows is maintained by a company that wants to sell you something.

In the last years I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, crunchbang and PopOS. A few months ago I asked IT if I could change the os on my company laptop from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. It means I have to stay outside the AD domain, but since almost everything (email, teams, OneDrive…) is available on the web, the only downside is not being able to use the wifi projectors. I can live with that. Mint is simple to use, easy on the eyes and stable as hell. And windows games run really well with proton, except maybe Starfield but I can wait :)

Maybe it would be a good thing for the digital world to be free from the concept of ownership.

Doesn’t have to be connected to the cloud for that, except if you do your laundry when you’re not home.

They just had more time to practice than Nazi Germany did.

Russia is just much more powerful than them even with full NATO support.

Not so sure about that: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293174/nato-russia-military-comparison/

Anyway it’s been a while since a war has been won in the traditional sense. I find the conditions of victory hard to define for Ukraine or Russia.

I’m really curious on what made him change his mind.

Well well. A pity that the people making the strongest claims earlier lost interest in the discussion.

Am old, can confirm: past a certain age you never see yourself as old as you really are.

For edibles to kick in you have to say the magic formula, which is: “This shit don’t work”.
