EU elites are in general just preparing to hunker down, again. it won’t be just climate change that will suffer(not like they were doing much anyway). They will have wait for democrats or some transatlantists republican to take power. Not like Europe has politically, economically or militarily anywhere else to run even if Trumps-US told the whole continent to bend over and take it if they just decide to have their way with us.

Yay for the American oligarchs

Yay, for Europeans banking everything from security, economy, foreign policy to continuation of transatlantism and therefore making every US problem and shakeup our problem. Not to even speak of the many occasions when US tries to use it’s power over Europe to shank Europe for US’s own gain.

Saying that there were even a debate going on tells a lot about the state of Wikipedia and it’s editorial makeup.

“Never again” was just never again directed towards jews. With others it’s just kindah, meh. If people calling themselves Jews are doing it, then it’s it’s to be supported.

If the government is in control of anything, capitalists will claim authoritarianism.

It’s more like international capital wants unfetter access to resources and labour power in China. A country doing economic or resource nationalism is the problem, not the government doing stuff. All western governments are heavily interventionists in their economies, but they do it mainly for the capitalists and especially the international capitalists, what they do for the people is for keeping social stability so that they may keep their position.

Not very freedomy or very cash money democracy of them 😠

What pisses me off the most about NAFOids is the absolute and constant pettiness.

Are they legally bound to follow any sanction list in their dealings? If so Linux foundation should consider move out of the US jurisdiction, because the santion load is just going to increase and more countries will be included.

If they are just doing this because of a political fad and partaking “the current thing” then they are just voluntarily digging their own and the linux foundation’s grave.

That’s one way to kill off the remaining American foundry business, since if US can’t compete now and Korean and Chinese workers are as good, then there is no reason to shift production off in the long term.

Wasn’t there that Gazan hospital that they occupied and destroyed and claimed it was legitimate target, because they found box cutters and binoculars? Tools that were totally used by Hamas soldiers hiding under the Hospital…

What the hell is an ActivityPub platform?

As if any institution, org or group that has an agenda to push doesn’t have battalions of bots guiding the discussion of forums to whichever way they want and not just fake followers and likes. As if people would need permission or would ask for it even if they had to. You just cant have any real sense of the public opinion on the internet, if there ever was such a time.

It’s all because of the US chip monopoly, if it were so they would not be so bold to hardware backdoor half of the PCs on the planet. I think as consumers we should have the right to choose if we want to have an American, EU, Chinese or Russian Backdoor in our computers, thank you very much.

nice, that’ll tech them.

They won’t do shit. It’s election year. Israel might, but US is not willing to follow.

I really do wonder why they ended up in this. It can’ be that hard to make even a hacky DIY system to do it automatically. The navigation system just had to have some digital or even analog output, then it would be just the problem of interpreting the signal with some script and writing it into a file.

When Wilby recommended the company use standard software to process ping data and plot the sub’s telemetry automatically, the response was that the company wanted to develop an in-house system, but didn’t have enough time.

Investors want it, because they want to ride the wave towards profit. It doesn’t matter if it’s good, sustainable or not. That is what matters.

How secure something is an spectrum. Sure self hosted matrix is a lot safer than sending your messages through meta servers for example. It’s about what is the threat levels of what one is doing. Total tinfoiling like writing your own quantum proof multi encryption ciphers and sending that over an tamper proof usb stick with self destruct mechanism by a carrier pridgeon is not necessary or practical for average people who just want privacy, but for critical government applications and especially the military it might be. That is what we are talking about here.

be that as it may, my point still stands. Nobody is realistically getting into that market.

What makes you think that consolidation of markets isn’t how the free market operates as it matures? As if the X86 market was any way competitive and healthy before when there are literally two companies sharing critical patents with each other and gatekeeping the competition out.
