I strongly disagree. They are actually very dumb and there is no grand strategy at play here. While everyone tries to understand the sense behind the erratic decisions, there really is not much to understand at all. It’s as simple as “we don’t want to spend money on European defense anymore”, so all activities related to that are stopped, without any regard to the consequences.
I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.
I root for bazzite. It’s so easy to setup and update all while providing superb support for gaming. I actually run it as a desktop os and I love it.
Doing this research transparently is a good idea, it will only be a matter of time before other actors will try and use LLMs to influence lemmy. Like spam, bots and farms, this is a reality the fediverse will have to deal with eventually. Better start preparing now.
The lifting of all sanctions against Russia, I guess.
I expected this and yet I am shocked. The ultimate betrayal. This will have irreversible consequences for the US and the world order.
I’ve been comparing PieFed to lemmy and it’s not even a close call. Accessing lemmy with an app like Thunder or Voyager is far more comfortable and efficient. Insurance choice is great, discovery is easy and the overall experience feels very polished.
The perfiditdy of naming this invasive piece of tech “SafetyCore” is chilling.
The “find out” phase of the Trump presidency will be something to behold.
China fully aligning with Russia is a stretch. That would be an incredibly fragile alliance.
I can empathize, but leave the throwing of explosives to professionals.
Looking back we will thank the Trump administration for their blunt honesty. Finally, European politicians are waking up to the reality that the US were never really our friends in the first place. Took them long enough.
Tell me about it. Windows by day, Linux by night. Starting my work pc with windows 11 feels like entering a third world dictatorship where everything is exploitative yet completely shit at the same time. And yet, it prevails.
Just for anyone who still holds out hope: NATO as we have known it is over. The US won’t come to the defense of the other members if they are attacked. It’s time to move on.
