  • Well, that depends on whether the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation stops working or not as that's what, for example, means that Lisbon which is roughly at the same latitude as New York has a temperature which is about 5 - 10C higher.

    One of the weirdest effect of Global Warming might very well be that the westernmost parts of Europe get colder (though who knows what other side effects the stopping of the AMOC will bring beyond reducing the temperature moderating effects of the Atlantic along the Westernmost coasts of Europe).

  • I had the exact same experience: been doing Linux since the 90s, both for fun and professionaly - the latter mainly in pure server configurations - finaly got around to moving my home PC (which is mainly for gaming) to Linux (using Pop!OS, since I have a Nvidia graphics card and it just supports it out of the box) and it just worked.

    Only problem I have with it is that on startup of X I usually get a blank screen and have to switch my monitor OFF and back ON again.

    Oh, and startup times are a fraction of Windows startup times (my Windows 10 work machine literally takes longer to wake up from hybernation than my home Linux PC takes to cold boot, and they have equivalent SSDs.

    I think I got more hassle with Windows than I do with Linux.

  • Only a rabid racist would - through claiming that anything critical said about that nation is anti-semitism - imply that a nation station state whose actions approach those of the Nazis in their depravity represents all the Jewish People.

    It's hard to be more anti-semite than conflation a nation mass murdering children with the Jewish People as a whole.

  • Rich people just love Fascism and here's an ethno-Fascist nation for some of them, claiming that their ethnicity makes them superior to everybody else, so of course they'll tend to support them.

    It's not at all surprising that the moneyed elites amongst the Jewish People would side with a regime that says they're inherently superior, same as the German elites sided with the Nazis. I mean, back in early Nazi times even the British moneyed elites were very drawn to Nazism and its ideas of racial superiority (there's even a photo of young princess Elizabeth being taught by her uncle - the then King - how to do a Nazi salute) up until the point Germany actually invaded Poland.

    You see the very wealthy supporting supremacists of their ethnicity all throughout History, no "conspiracy" necessary.

    Historically, quite independently of ethnicity you'll find it's the well educated middle classes that most resist the pull of chauvinism, and that seems to be exactly what we're seeing amongst the Jewish People now that the self-proclaimed representative of them all as full revealed itself as a Genocidal project.

  • Lemmy world is thoroughly subverted by state actors.

    I had an account there and left because my registration e-mail address for that account was leaked to Israel and I started getting e-mails in my native language from a Tel-Aviv base entity inviting me to attend one of their "Get to know Israel" online courses.

    Not even a Moderator has access to the database with the user's e-mails, only a server Administrator.

    The use of "moderation" in trying to shape perceptions in any large Lemmy forums hosted in Lemmy.world is to be expected.

  • Ah, good old New Labour, siding with the modern day Nazis committing their very own Holocaust in Gaza.

    The UK is almost as fucked up as the US.

    (Though, judging by the march of 600k people against the Genocide, most Brits are not, and it's the power and money elites that, as usual, can't stop themselves from loving the most violent Fascism and Fascists same as when a young princess Elizabeth was being taught by her uncle and then King how to do a Nazi salute - the whole ubermenschen vs untermenshen view of the World seems to have massive appeal amongst British elites).

  • That's a perfect example of a typical interaction between a Technology Management Consultant and somebody from a STEM area.

    Techies with an Engineering background who are in Tech and Tech-adjacent companies are often in the receiving end of similar techno-bollocks which makes no sense from such "Technology" Management Consultants, but it's seldom quite as public as this one.

  • Zionism is the same kind of Fascism as Nazism - ethno-Fascism - which is based on ethnicity rather than nationality, thus rabidly racist and hence far, far, more depraved than traditional Fascism.

    Just compare the actions of Russia in Ukraine and those of Israel in Gaza to see the difference between traditional Fascism and ethno-Fascism: Russians don't think Ukranians are sub-humans, whilst Israeli definitelly think Palestinians are (specifically "human animals" and even "vermin"), hence the scale of the crimes being commited by Israelis is many times larger and more extreme than that of those being commited by Russians - when for a whole military even the toddlers of a different ethnicity are "vermin" there are no boundaries for them when it comes to murdering people from that ethnicity.

  • Indeed.

    Israel was created by amongst others Jewish terrorist groups, who at one point even tried to ally with the Nazis.

    They're the very opposite of Holocaust Survivors (which is probably why in present day Israel, Holocaust survivors are stigmatized and seen as "weak").

    One needs to believe that there's some kind of Jewish Hive-mind (one of the anti-semitic notions imaginable) to think that Israeli Zionists, who share nothing other than etnicity with the survivors of the Holocaust, would have felt the trauma that Holocaust survivors felt.

  • They probably have a ton of blackmail material on German politicians.

    Remember the various ex top German politicians getting money from Russian states companies that came to light after Russia invaded Ukraine and the foot dragging of the German government on everything from disconnecting from Russia gas to helping Ukraine and sanctioning Russia.

    My bet is that Germany is massively riddled with corruption and Israel has for decades invested a lot of time and money in making sure they have dirt on as many German politicians as possible and is now using that information.

  • If we want to be realistic, then if there was a nuclear explosion that big on planet Earth all the nations around it would be nuclear wastelands from the shockwave and fallout and the rest of the planet would probably be covered in ice from the nuclear winter.

    Most nation states on that side of the planet would be gone and the ones on the other side of the planet would at the very least be collapsing from the fall in agricultural production and subsequent wars of desperation.

  • The reaction of the rest of Europe to Trump's attack would lead Iran to expect that the usual suspects in Europe would attack Iran either way, same as they did back when America invaded "WMD" Iraq.

    Certainly were I am (Portugal, which by the way also sent troops to Iraq) there are already people from America and Israel-aligned far-right think-tanks being invited to news segments on public TV about the American attack, where they're complimenting Trump on his action, calling it a "massive victory to Netanyahu" and scaremongering against Iran with exactly the same kind of "arguments" as were used for Iraq (Iran has WMDs, Iran is developing missiles which can reach European cities and so on), so the Manufacturing Consensus machinery is already running.

  • In the US, specifically, higher oil prices feed into higher prices for the fertilizer used in raising corn, which in turn feeds into higher corn prices, which then feeds into almost all food because in the US corn is used directly or indirectly in food to truly insane levels (for example, cattle is fed corn even though it's not natural and causes health problems hence the overused of antibiotics for cattle in the US and sugar is mainly chemically processed corn).

    In other countries it's a bit easier to isolate oneself from the indirect effects of oil price rises if you don't drive ICE vehicles and eat locally grown food because this pathway from "oil" to "almost all food" is either not present or far weaker.

    Mind you, I agreed that you can never isolate yourself totally from it unless you're some kind of hermit living in your own cave disconnected from everything else and growing your own food using 100% natural agriculture.
