Most people confuse the actions of a head of state and that country itself.

“America is self centered and capitalist”, no that’s just Trump.

“Russia is bloodthirsty and imperialistic”, no that’s just Putin.

“China is totalitarian and hostile”, no that’s just Xi Jinping.

Obviously you can blame democratic countries for electing their heads of state, but it’s unfortunately too common that people generalize about entire countries.

I think the habit of attributing state actions to their capital makes more sense. eg “Washington denounces Moscow’s recent escalation”, etc.

today’s kids have the wildest headcanons smh

I still ship mary and god tho

Anon is foreign and exotic

Yeah I used to play so much AssaultCube! Over 14 years ago now 😅

LVM is a good way to do raid on linux

Why does this have the domain todaycnn. com?

lmao they made the cans from fallout real

Wasn’t that company owned by his parents or something? I think John Oliver or somebody did a story on all the shell companies he’s been embezzling money into to scam the sandy hook victims.

Såklart

Ah, OK. They seemed to know the streets well and the ongoing political process, at least.

Here’s a video from Oh The Urbanity!, a resident of Toronto, on the stupidity of removing these specific bike lanes, and the insanity of Ontario making expensive, self-destructive traffic decisions for Toronto’s residents.

Darkness, alcohol, and a lack of oil

We are at the end of the automobile era. The automobile has been a core part of the past 70 years, but its significance to the economy and to transportation is waning.

So we are both describing social democracy

There needs to be due process. We can’t ban a website because 10k people said it has disinformation. The DSA is the process for combatting disinformation on major platforms, and we should follow it. Twitter is already being sued under the DSA, and they will be banned in the next few months if they do not fulfill their obligations to fight disinformation.

I’m looking at the future and what might be good replacement that offers a blend of power-efficiency, flexibility, and storage cost.

Any modern CPU will improve energy efficiency. AMD AM4 platform and Intel N100 are very cheap. AMD SP3 platform is also very cheap and has a ton of PCIe lanes and memory expandability for gpus, NVMe, and running lots of VMs.

For storage cost, used hdds are currently $8/TB, generic NVMe is currently $45, and used enterprise SSDs are $50/TB, decide which you want to invest in depending on your needs. Used enterprise drives will be the fastest and most durable for databases and RAID.

SSD prices are expected to decrease faster than HDD prices, and will probably overtake HDDs for value in ~5 years.

About dGPUs, Intel A310 is the best transcoding Gpu out there. Used Nvidia datacenter gpus probably have the best vram/$ and pytorch compatibility for AI

change.org isn’t going to do much, and the EU already has an ongoing lawsuit with Twitter regarding its disinformation promotion.

It could be argued that the EU prosecutors should speed things up, though.

please press tab 🥲

The halo community kinda hates the remastered graphics for halo CE lol

None of that is relevant to the idea of affordable housing for college students because 18 year olds going to college haven’t had the chance to start working yet.

I don’t think I was particularly lazy as a student just because I got free college and $1k a month student loans from the Swedish welfare state, and a free apartment from my parents, all without working a single hour for pay.

I remember some of my strongest drivers in college were my social life, the opportunity to enter an exchange program, passing 75% of my classes to keep my student loans, and my personal interest in the things I studied. So some monetary/quasi-monetary, but also many social. And none of them based on wage labor.

Also, while social democracy like what I’ve described doesn’t reject your ideology, there are also people who work for other reasons besides money, and there are more forms of unpaid work than there are for paid work.

Isn’t Bluesky federated?
