“Trump approved the bombing campaign in early 2024”

Biden was secretly Trump in a skinsuit? I knew it!

Taiwan trying to compete with Britain for “island that licks the most American boots” award.

That’s if you get anything at all. A lot of my searches return no results on Google or derivatives, so I have to use Bing, Yandex, or others instead.

They do return a large number of results on all of those.

It’s entirely possible to mitigate both drought and flood, both hot and cold. It just takes more effort so most governments (and even individuals) don’t bother.

I actually do think Putin would assassinate Zelensky if that would accomplish anything for him, and that he doesn’t want the war to end before he’s secured everything of relevance in the Ukraine. However, he doesn’t actually stand to gain anything from Zelensky’s death, as the man is a replaceable figurehead and has gotten in the way (of fascist factions) more than his potential replacements might.

i only skimmed and didn’t really take this seriously because it seems full of buzzwords with no substance

It would make sense if the more densely populated areas of U.S.A. had good infrastructure but even those mostly don’t.

China is actually slightly bigger than America as far as land area. America is only bigger (and even then only slightly) if you include claimed bodies of water.

It’s the paradox of wanting Linux to be widely supported but not wanting it to become a walled garden experience. The average consumer is not keen on “different” and “complex” and designing all of Linux around the preferences of those average consumers would mean sacrificing the advanced features and customisation power users enjoy.

Arch is not dumb shit and recommending it to beginners is fine if they are curious and want to learn about stuff.

Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

But if you want a simple “it just works” distro you should probably be using Mint or Pop! or similar, and avoiding trying to do anything unnecessarily advanced unless you are cool with reading manuals and so on.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough that the U.S. fail to penetrate it.

And I’d instead argue that hoping for a perfect defense is more reasonable than hoping for Americans to do the right, or even sonsible, thing.

I’m aware that that is the realistic concern, but if we’re talking about hopes I’d prefer the less realistic, no-casualty scenario that would prove a point.

Bro literally using far-right thinktanks as sources, so probably.

So I take it the aging population and low birth rate in Japan is hard proof that the United States is genociding them?

Serial murderer-rapists tend to be staunch American allies.

Found the nvidia shill, I guess.

I’m hoping they do resort to nukes and China show incredible missile defence and nuclear containment capabilities making the entire American nuclear arsenal irrelevant.

It’s one of those things that would cleanly and immediately make the U.S. look irrelevant on the world stage.

Playing high quality 4k videos on old hardware, it seems to make a noticeable difference.

Any website that blocks users with JS disabled doesn’t deserve to be used. Terrible software.
