So can you answer the question? Has there been a threat or Russian aggression into Western Europe that was averted due to US involvement? I am yet to see that.

Finland joined NATO because of fearmongering. I am yet to see a real threat. Now can you answer my question? If not, then it says enough.

This is true but we should keep in mind:

When we say military spending, what it really means is: how much is the US government granting the military industrial complex for them to accept powering its military

When we say Medicaid (and others) spending, it is: how much is the US gov giving to medical insurance companies to allow a sunset of poor people to have some healthcare?

Those companies are intentionally setting outrageous prices and the US is happy to pay them.

our military protects European countries

Please give me a list of enough threats the US protected Europe from to back your statement. I doubt there are enough to justify those differences, and hence your statement must be doubted until you prove otherwise.

Are they not expensive?

It is not privacy minded unfortunately. No major smartphone brand has privacy.

Wouldn't that be a less sustainable use of land?

I guess maybe not if we are talking tall building, where the roof surface area may not be sufficient for the entire building. But it would be a waste not to make use of all the unused rooftops

Thanks a lot! What does DTS mean?

They seem to be the only product that occupies negligible space and is relatively affordable.

The other options are either more expensive or significantly larger.

I'm a middle essterner and I couldn't continue reading your post but it's nothing I've ever heard of.

A nation founded on settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing and mass murder should probably not exist imo.

While true, apple remains the bigger hurdle here. They don't seem even willing to cooperate.

I love Raku (formerly perl 6) for this purpose as well.

I use podman, even when I started out. But I am a tinkerer. I think for the average beginner, docker will be easier as so much out there assumes you are using Docker only, and hard codes it. Unless you wanna deal with that, use Docker.

It works even if steam is installed through my system package manager rather than flatpak, which I find even more puzzling.

I suppose steam is installing something alongside it that bottles is using. Can't figure out what it is.

I don't think this should have to do with it, as I run the game outside of steam in bottles. I am running a GOG copy.

I studied chemical engineering in university, but I realized it wasn't what I hoped.

What I hoped: sitting at a desk, drawing schematics, crunching numbers, designing chemical plants, coming up with smart ideas, etc.

What it actually was: walking around a chemical plant or factory and managing plant operators (they knew way more than I did).

It turns out programming is exactly what I hoped from chemical engineering. I love solving problems from the comfort of a desk.

Math was always my favorite subject in school, and it seems programming is a type of applied maths.

That's a good idea. Is there a way to make that as easy to use as Chromecast? Currently I operate Chromecast using its remote and just play something. I can use the remote or my phone to pause or rewind. Can I do something similar using my PC, without having to reach for the keyboard?

Some package managers do have differences that justify a separate project (nix, gentoo's portage, etc).

For others, sometimes package managers are very similar feature-wise. But some developers would rather remake the thing because they would understand their code a lot better than someone else's. Or because it would be far easier for them to customize rather than extend another project.

Imo it is developer laziness. Being able to use other people's work is a valuable skill. But then again, this is open source, and people are free to develop the software they want the way they want.

Unfortunately Muslim Americans are a negligible population.
