ONN letsgo

Took their time. Finally.

its literally a former superpower, it fell off but measuring it in dollar terms is ridiculous

India can’t do manufacturing so they come up with this shit.

I think it’s at best negligible. People like to point to Russia funding Tim Pool or whatever. But how does that bring undecided voters to vote for Trump?

The Tim Pool audience was going to vote for Trump anyways. Maybe to change some of their minds on Russia (some cons do think Russia is an evil communist country).

But it doesn’t change the election outcome.

I don’t think even Israel has that much influence over Presidential elections, much more than Russia, sure but Israel is not the one preventing Harris from advocating for Palestine, it’s her own choice.

Israel however has another way of influencing US elections. Not through media campaign or the lobby but with its own actions, escalating in Lebanon

Shining Path

I don’t think the current anti-mask “back to normal” sentiment is in any way “western”. It’s very much global outside Japan (and maybe a few other countries). Not many ppl worry about covid anymore and unless there is state willingness and proper enforcement of masks that isn’t going to change.

France’s public-sector deficit is projected to reach around 5.6% of GDP this year and go over 6% in 2025. The EU has a 3% limit on deficits.

oh no, not even Germany follows that deficit limit, its literally a number they pulled out of their asses to fuck up welfare systems. fucking BBC

Chat is this real

Oh no not the Putler. Will US sanction Israel then?

Gyatted up

Wasn’t there a party which split from Die Linke due to Ukraine and Palestine.

Edit: ah that’s BSW. Wikipedia calling them “Russophiles” because they oppose war in Ukraine. I don’t think they are in any way corporatists.

a. okay you can argue that it’s better utilisation of resources not having your pc idle. There is an argument against office computers to be made there.

b makes no sense. The servers serve thousands of people at a time, it is not idling.

I do not have data for this but I’ve noticed that much of the speed I get on torrents come from like top 10 peers all of which are dedicated servers

C. Sure.

My preference has always been for a centralised state owned streaming service. One which allow users to download shit without drm.

It allows routes to be short, minimising hops, also reduces connections made.

Probably because all the servers are powered with fossil fuels.

I don’t think pirating would be better, you are connecting to many different countries…

I love crime.

Besides, I don’t like phone motherboards turning into ewaste.

All the s complaining about how its a security risk. Who tf would want to bomb US Navy ships? Russia won’t do it, China won’t do it; there is no reason for them to. Even if they wanted to there are other ways of tracking ships.

Maybe Houthis? Even then I don’t think they are tracking Starlink before they attack.

L tbh, if the thieves steal my phone I would rather them be able to have someone else use it than throw it away. hopefully they find a way around.

atleast they can still break it down for parts.

wtf
