I mean, that’s not the CCP, that’s just the Chinese people working like dogs to profit the corrupt party members.
The CCP gets very little credit for modern China, it was Mao dying and Deng choosing a looser rein that lead to China’s shocking rise, the people themselves are great, the party is merely a horrible parasite that killed 50m of its own people from its pride.
Not even a drop whatsoever.
Taiwan brought the same people with fewer resources far more forward and did it with respect for freedom and human dignity.
While Mao basically murdered or caused the death of 50m of his own people from his own stupidity.
I’d prefer the Chinese put their CCP against the wall before they invent fusion, I guarantee this will be a true golden age for China, but I think the CCP would try to take down China itself before it let itself lose control.
Good luck to them!
I think the only major contribution to humanity the CCP I would respect would be fusion research.
It’s not complicated, just stupid expensive and politically impossible, but if they can figure it out, they have truly provided a transformative humanity.
Brother laser printers.
Was shocked when it randomly showed ip everywhere automatically, it showed up and worked on my fresh freebsd install, I thought shit was haunted.
Kernel, compiler and WebKit back in the day, taking the hat trick.
In the middle now.
Wife is already Swedish so I’m doing it on easy mode, plus job is remote.
Politeness, wow, that’s tough to get used to. Trying to fix my silicon valley manners and I’m still coming off as the biggest asshole.
Government is more involved in your life, but it’s not too bad, just something you get used to, ups and downs, they mostly try to help.
Amazon is shit, thats a thing for me, but you manage.
They have a food culture.
No, you may have misunderstood me, I did not say they have food in their culture, I mean a significant part of their societal culture revolves around food.
Did not understand this, used to Door dashing and eating to get by, they don’t do that, food matters to them, spending half a day cooking is just a thing you do, it’s not work to them anymore than watching YouTube is.
Otherwise you’ll get by, just try to tone down your socialization reflexes, they’re more reserved and our outgoing nature can scare them shitless if they’re not ready for it.
No recommendations, just want to say: Thank you!
Your argument is: “America isn’t giving Ukraine enough weapons to win the war”, “Wait, American can’t give them real weapons because then they’d win the war!”
We should give Ukraine back their nukes, but if we aren’t we should give Ukraine so many drones the lifetime of vatniks is measured in milliseconds.
The only way to end a war with Russia is to pull an inverse Branigan: Keep encouraging them to throw waves and waves of their men against your rampaging killbots till they run out of men.
As I said, 10 million sounds like a good start.
Russia won’t nuke unless they start losing serious Russian territory, remember Priggy made it really far and they only fled in their private jets.
Keep drawing their kids in to their deaths, make sure it’s drones killing them while Ukrainians themselves are safe behind the lines, eventually they’ll run out of their r-word strength.
Yeah, that was my bad, I’m not used to checking the user instance.
Merkel made a catastrophic mistake in treating Russia like an rational actor, they’re not, they’re basically wh40k orks who see weakness and work themselves up into a grievance rage about how the west and everyone else is conspiring to keep Russia from its destined role as world leaders, until they finally reach a threshold and go on a Wauggh.
Like orks, they don’t stop until their bloodlust is beaten by their fear.
As an American, we need to give them all our weapons, free of charge, the thought of my taxes going to their rightful purpose of butchering Russians by the hundreds of thousands warms my heart.
We need give them f35s, Ai drone swarms, everything, we need to help them exterminate every vatnik in ukrainian borders within a month.
Alternatively, we admit we will not satisfy the Budapest memorandum and leave Ukraine to their fate.
I’m fine with either path honestly.
For the second path, we would be honor bound to restore the nuclear weapons Ukraine surrendered, or equivalent, I suppose a single Ohio ssbn fully loaded with tridents should suffice.
At that point Ukraine and Russia could begin negotiations for peace.
Personally I don’t think any of this will end until 10-20m Russians have died, it’s the only language they understand, and they’re slow there as well.
Russia started this war to look strong to their partner China, they look far weaker than imaginable, the end game is to partition Russia, the west goes to the European sphere, the east goes to China giving them the resources and land they are so desperate for, and both sides get 50-100 years of peace.
Your second link agrees with me, it was Ukraine. The mad fuckers pulled it off, we might have helped but even that is more than I’d imagine, our administration is timid AF when it comes to Ukraine and any kind of direct or even covert action.
I get why you’d be furious, but they were defending their homeland, and let’s be honest, yours too, if Ukraine had fallen Putin and Xi would have felt they could ask for a lot and we know how that road goes.
We did not blow up nordstream.
If we had 1/10th of those balls the world wouldn’t be in this shape, I wish to God we had.
Germany is in for 2 lost decades, shutting down nuclear was a mistake, but energy isn’t the only issue, Germany needs more workers or they need to fully commit to automation, which they haven’t quite yet.
China is now crippled with Russia as an ally. That’s about the best strategic success you can expect in IR, take the win.
They have a hardcore micro kernel though, windows and Linux are a long way off from that Valhalla, gnu Mach notwithstanding.
They’re integrate a low level security framework in c#. Net that needs it and it will be on by default.
Riscv qemu, it’s great and surprisingly fast nowadays.
If you get good you can adjust the hardware as you go too.
Disney is an absolute must if you have a kid, and a great value besides.
Otherwise it makes 0 sense except for maybe star wars sometimes.
Fascinating, I assumed roughly this behavior but I don’t think there’s much information about the futility of marketing because it threatens the jobs of marketers, any good sources?
Yup, TC was weakened, and so far not powerful enough to hurt, but it’s still a threat.
DRM is everywhere in some form or another, again usually not strong enough to stop determined attackers but enough to create a barrier that, one that can be raised as needed in an “emergency”.
That helps, but how deep is the personality change? Is it kde settings, or is it like ~/.config level, or do applications even not see each other?
Your explanation makes Firefox awareness 1000x more interesting, I used to run multiple profiles in parallel before Firefox containers but this would be nice to have contained work profiles, at the moment I just use chromium for work and Firefox for literally everything else.
Efficiency? Worse. Power? Way more.
Big thing is going from usb 3.0 or really weak microsd to sata ssd or especially m.2 nvme.
Pi4 has a72s which are weak, like clock for clock on par with sandylake or even nehalem, and they aren’t clocked near as high.
Pi5 is closer to broadwell, maybe Sky-lake, which is starting to hit tolerable performance.
