I feel like this is a self perpetuating problem: Cops experience bad shit, become cynic and corrupt, which leads to a general attitude that increases bad shit. Repeat a few rounds, and you end up with cops viewing citizens (especially of stereotypical minority groups) as enemies.

100%. Same reasoning I have for mandatory civil service (instead of military). Even just a shared memory of how doing it sucked balls could do wonders for social cohesion.

I would suggest lying. Like when an employer asks you about your position on unions.

Really? It looks quite alive to me, I would assume that pose and expression take some muscle tension to hold. But tbh, if there were wolves that big around me, I would carry a gun as well. You know, just in case, I’d rather look stupid than become the statistic anomaly.

Jokes aside, I think it is more that they want to attract the really good people. There already is a complete power imbalance in many science fields, and in applied fields, they will still have to compete with industry jobs.

Signal integrity will probably be fine, you can always go with optical signalling for the long routes. What would be more of an issue is absurd complexity, latency from one end to the other, that kind of stuff. At some point, just breaking it down into a lot of semi-autonomous nodes in a cluster makes more sense. We kind of already started this with multi-core CPUs (and GPUs are essentially a lot of pretty dumb cores). The currently biggest CPUs all have a lot of cores, for a reason.

As someone thinking of doing a PhD, I want those dirty foreigners and their ivy league diplomas out! They are stealing my jobs!

What does left and right mean for you?

Going by its historic origins, progressives on the left, reactionaries and monarchists on the right, the Nazis were absolutely reactionary and thus far-right. They were only progressive where it suited them, like having women in factories freeing up men for the military.

Speaking purely of economic policy, left would be a collectivist economy and right an individualist one. In that regard, the Nazis were not quite far-right, as they favoured government intervention and influence, again, because of war efforts. They did a few token campaigns to appease workers, but didn’t limit or abolish privately held companies (as they wanted the rich and powerful on their side for the war). And you’d only get disowned if you happened to have the wrong ancestors, not because you were explotliting your employees.

Was?! Still is, and sadly will be.

It runs just fine for me, huh. Certainly not because of lack of google services.

Maybe graphene is doing some firewall things? KDE Connect needs some ports open (to the local lan) to talk

If you have a phone with custom ROM support, pretty easy. I’ve been running LineageOS without GAPPS for like 5 years now. Most stuff just works, but to be fair, I am not using any of the cool kids apps like google pay or android auto.

Emotionally, I want to agree with you, but lynching is almost always going to hit the wrong people, too. The well connected teacher/coach/advisor who likes to prey on girls is not going to be hit, but the black guy who happens to be at the wrong spot at the wrong time, and triggers all the “we must protect our women!1!” ?

It’s not a new term, it has been around for a few centuries now. People who want to revert change, go back to the perceived good old times. Fascist is overused these days, and I’d argue reactionary hits a nice descriptive middle ground between conservative (which they are not, any more) and fascist (which many of them aren’t yet). Hit them where they are, not where they move to

The correct term is reactionary.

Not too many, with today’s stupid websites. Plus a bunch of large tools, IDEs, Ghidra, a few containers… it adds up :(

Good for you, I have 32g and if I do too many things at once, the oom killer will stalk my tabs

Honestly? Cool that you are asking, but I just want a coffee, not a conversation.

Yes, I’m German, how could you tell?

One difference is that Egypt and Turkey have a lot of tourism, so they tend to be quite tolerant towards tourists. You don’t want to scare off potential customers. The US seems to forget that.

It is more about being able to constantly spy on everyone. Funny how this exact sentence would have labeled one as a conspiracy nut not too long ago.

Constantly online means constant (more or less) analytics, means constant data to throw in the big computer to make you buy more shit or vote for the shit party.

I am outside of the US, and I do care. Biggest army and economy and so on. Even if not, I would not want to be associated with, idk, Australian wannabe tyrants either.
