Then explain Denmark

Local ML translation was pretty cool

Similar concepts have been developed before, Microsoft and Southampton University were working on glass cubes with 3D laser etchings in the centre around 2015-16

Did you really just mix a fraction and a percentage in the same statistic? You monster.

Unfortunately their bias is being served by what appear to be very credible accusations of warcrimes by British special forces.

No, this was an illegal, unofficial policy enacted by the special forces themselves and covered up by their superiors. The reason that we’re hearing about it now is because of a BBC investigative report which has led to an official inquiry.

Linux market share is still very small, so it makes perfect sense that devs make their games for Windows: they get Linux compatibility for free. Developing a native Linux build requires extra investment for next to no return. There are lots of bad Linux ports that run much worse than the Windows build running through Proton.

Larian released a Steam Deck optimised build of Baldur’s Gate 3, but only because one of their devs really wanted to make it happen and most companies don’t work like Larian.

If Windows market share was <30% then maybe the economic incentives would be the other way around, but there would need to be a project like Proton that lets Linux games work on Windows.

When you turn it on it boots to a controller friendly UI that shows you all your steam games. No setup, no hunting for drivers, no bloat.

you’d be surprised how cheap a politician can be

I was arguing with someone else and you came in with a tangent so fair enough. Also, nice spot, clearly spelling is too much of a burden.

1. Films that no-one has seen aren’t going to be influencing peoples knowledge. I notice you haven’t named any either. For more information please see: Burden of Proof
2. This discussion is about jol’s claim that hollywood is responsible for covering up slavery in Brazil. Those are the goalposts. The fact that hollywood collaborates with the US military to promote their interests is only relevant if you can show a link to slavery in Brazil.

The point is that hollywood isn’t making films that deny or refute slavery in Brazil, which was the original claim.

That’s the first valid point in this thread!

Have there been any hollywood films denying slavery in Brazil? Hollywood propaganda on other topics isn’t relevant here.

I’m not sure that’s fair. Hollywood isn’t the history channel, its job isn’t to educate the world and they certainly aren’t conspiring to suppress knowledge of the slave trade in Brazil. They just haven’t made many films that feature it.

edit: If you’re getting all your world knowledge from films, that’s a problem.

That’s a great point, instead of bombing Donbas Zelensky should have followed through on his campaign promises to end the war with them instead of escalating it. You do realize that Ukraine attacked a region that seceded from it because of a Nazi-style putsch backed by western imperialists?

You’re not actually responding to anything I’ve said here.

When the shoe is on the other foot refers to a situation which Europeans cannot imagine, one without a USA able to project enough power to permit them political impunity - which is what you are describing, with scarcely even a veneer of faux moral outrage. Europe currently gets to act as a larger than life diplomatic and financial entity.

That’s not what ‘the shoe is on the other foot’ means. This is pure projection as only Russia was trying to project military power here.

You’re going to need to do something other than cycle through the same Atlantic Council bullet points to phase me, Kyle.

These are basic facts about the reality of the conflict: 1. Russia started it. 2. It is illegal. 3. Putin can end it at any time. 4. It is progressing an an unsustainable pace for Russia. 5. Russia is now importing oil from other nations due to Ukrainian strikes on refineries.

Not invading your neighbours is actually how you show that you’re not Hitler. Putin can end this war any time he likes, no diplomacy with Trump or Starmer required.

Also, ‘when the shoe is on the other foot’? you mean, ‘when the UK invades its neighbours and ends up in an unwinnable stalemate with no real allies and international sanctions that leaves it begging for diplomacy while refusing to back down from a pointless, illegal war’?

Grow up Ivan, (and stay away from tall buildings if you’re going to claim you’re smarter than Putin)

“Please you can’t keep ignoring us like this! We have so much of value to discuss and can be taken seriously!”

In reality the UK and Russia have nothing to discuss while the illegal invasion of Ukraine continues. Talks with Putin are futile (and Starmer isn’t going to go behind Zelenski’s back unlike certain other politicians). It also wouldn’t be good for Starmer’s image back home; red carpets look best when rolled out by friendly nations in the spirit of cooperation, not by KGB thugs with delusions of grandeur.

Not if you are being compensated for your labour. The actual crime that describes stolen labour is “slavery”

This isn’t a secret plot by systemd, this is gnome making dependency choices and a distro that explicitly doesn’t support the new dependency being left in the cold. That’s just how dependencies work.
