vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•The destruction of Palestine is breaking the worldEnglish416·7 days agoIf we consider UN as being the main arbitrator on who gets to launch a war, then to mention a few instances…

vga@sopuli.xyzto Linux@programming.dev•Unprecedented Linux Growth in Europe Amid Windows 10 End-of-Life19·9 days agoLiving in Finland is doubly humiliating. The country where Linux started, and IT chiefs almost in every company are going “oh yeah? I’m gonna use Microsoft products even harder”
I don’t like to say this about people I don’t know but fucking idiots, man.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran issues fatwa against Donald Trump: "Enemy of God"English31·10 days agoWould it be better if he was, though?
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran issues fatwa against Donald Trump: "Enemy of God"English373·10 days agoIt’s weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
Possible, I guess, although I have 32GB RAM + 8GB swap and I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary at the time.
Both the hardware and software (fedora 42 running cosmic desktop) are kinda cutting edge, so I think an honest crashing bug is more likely.
Fun coincidence, when I was about to write a supporting comment to this thread, my Fedora 42 running on X1 Carbon hard froze without any apparent reason and I had to hard reboot it.
For me Linux surpassed the Windows desktop experience in 1996 and even though Windows 2000 was a pretty good upgrade, I don’t think it has surpassed desktop Linux yet. Windows 10 was not bad either, but now that has gone mostly downhill whereas Linux has merely plateaud at worst or has been improving slowly at best.
If you’re not humblebragging, perhaps you oughta get a Linux-preinstalled laptop like System76.
If you were humblebragging, check out https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/ and get the Plasma edition.
vga@sopuli.xyzto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Carbrain. Carbrain is why. They practically live in the damn things.English11·16 days agoBecause it’s dangerous to be outside without being inside.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•US to withdraw from NATO under Republican billEnglish221·16 days agoWell, in a democracy it’s important that people who want this can try to make it happen via official procedure, which this is.
That said, the people who want this are assholes and probably in bed with Russia.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sitesEnglish11·21 days agoI suppose the hit on Bin Laden couldn’t have been launched without significant presence in Afghanistan. Why you stayed there after that though was weird. That seems to have been Obama’s mistake.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sitesEnglish7·21 days agoMore than many people did, though. Including you.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sitesEnglish63·21 days agoThat would practically guarantee boots on the ground in Iran and a regime change in 3 months.
Iran’s leaders are dumb, but I don’t think they’re that dumb.
edit hate to repeat a standard antisemitic trope, but Israel would have a big reason to fake that
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sitesEnglish24·21 days agoYeah, citizens and nuclear weapon research are perfectly equivalent targets.
vga@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sitesEnglish41·22 days agoThe USA responded by attacking the wrong country
Not just one! They got Osama bin Laden eventually though so amazing success
There’s some reason to believe this one. For instance, the sudden rise of Epstein’s List on top of every feed seems to suggest that someone doesn’t like what Trump is doing or is about to do.
Second, I’ll just allow myself to hope that somehow a piece of sanity reached Trump.
