My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards “Made in China” since January 19.

Pocket money in this context. They should add at least two zeros to that number or it won’t even show up in the weekly report.

Actually, what we probably want is something like openSUSE MicroOS with containers based on Nix or Guix.

Best would be if openSUSE simply adopted Nix/Guix for container configuration.

Don’t forget about Nix and Guix.

I think it makes great sense to use Nix (or better Guix). The users are not expected to do any configurations. They basically need a browser and maybe a text editor if it’s the public sector.

Also, you can run Nix or Guix on basically any other dist. Which is very helpful for reproducible deployments.

Ubuntu doesn’t make any sense. Better use Debian in that case. We don’t need to give yet another eccentric South African billionaire more power.

SUSE is owned by the Swedish venture capital firm EQT. For better or worse. All software has “ties” to the US. Remember there are lots of good people in the US as well. Everything isn’t MAGA or tech feudalism.

I agree. Most Linux distributions have their base within the EU. Just dumb to bring a new Fedora based dist to the table. Debian is also very connected to the EU and France, even though the SPI is registered within the US.

One could push for The Linux Foundation to to move their HQ to the EU. If that changes anything. I guess it depends on if Linus resigns or wants to move back to Finland.

Alpac Capital’s CEO Pedro Vargas David, is well established in the government of Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán and is the son of Mario David, one of Orbán’s advisers. In April 2016, Orban called Mario David a “true friend” and gave him the middle cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit. Due to Orbán’s repeated media violations, where he influences media regulators to punish any and all journalists who negatively reports on his or his government’s actions, Alpac Capital’s purchase of Euronews from Naguib Sawiris was put under increased scrutiny as an attempt by Orbán to influence wider European politics.

On April 18, 2024, the International Federation of Journalists called for a European parliamentary inquiry into the Hungarian government’s influence over Euronews via Alpac Capital due to Euronews attempting to influence the 2024 European Parliament election.

Sensor fusion is something that any 4.5 gen fighter is capable of. Cool HUDs and XR is just marketing bling. It doesn’t really matter. Scale, sensors, ew, range, load and cost benefit matter.

F-35 is good if you need first strike tactical nuke capabilities today. Or small carrier capabilities. However, modern sensors can probably catch your F-35s quite early on anyway. The extra stealth might be good if you’re fighting goat herders with Soviet AA and radars from the 50s. But hey, then you can just go for an upgraded F-16 with some fancy EW.

Any rational state actor should skip 5th gen, push their 4.5s to the limit and go for unmanned gen 6+.

This just doesn’t have a any connection with reality. You know what you suggest is what has been done for 20 years and it has massively failed? In basically all western countries? Learn from your mistakes or be an idiot.

Make sure that you understand materialism and solidarity grounded in self interest if you want to win the working class. Get rid of idealists and identity politics (unless they’re working class or populist identity politics). Get your head around consequential ethics and how to set political priorities.

I recommend studying the 1930s strategy of the Swedish SAP.

This is the number one thing. The US collapsed because of inequality. Liberals are out.

And it can be summarised in one word: materialism.

They are evil.

There are many private alternatives, but that is missing the point. An ECB backed digital coin takes away the private bank monopoly on printing digital money. It will be a great contribution to the commons and will decrease the power of private banks. It will also contribute to increased economic resilience.

I recommend reading the publications from positive money on this subject.

This is really really good news.

That contract can’t possibly still be valid.

A right-libertarian nightmare. AKA tech feudalism. Congratulations to Greenland!

Yes.

What languages and patterns will be considered woke?

For sure memory safety and dependent types. C++ will probably be shoved down our throats.

Maybe a more reasonable question: Is there anyone here self-hosting on non-shit hardware? 😅
