As a European I say: Let's go bitch!

We've been way too dependant on Russia. It's time we acknowledge the actual cost for cheap gas and oil from Russia.

If you want to promote your position - and it may not please someone and that is normal in a democratic society - take responsibility. What are you afraid to say who you are?

While I understand the problems the propaganda machines of Russia and China (among other) causes, this here is some stupid shit

Try to criticize Putin openly while living in Russia, speak up for the freedom to love and have sex with whoever you want in Uganda or publish pictures of Muhammad as a dog and sign all of it with your name and see what will happen.

Anonymity is a double edged sword. While being "nice to have" in a democracy it's a "must have" in a dictatorship.

How do you get new furniture into your house?

Our way, since I'm a Windows and Linux user, of adding applications is a remnant from the old times. We have left the age where computers are maintained by men in white coats and powerful computers took up while buildings.

Apples way is more intuitive since it mimics how it most often works in the real world.

Computers should adapt to humans, not the other way around.

I don't think this is the right way to go. Mandatory "compare prices" to be displayed with the same, or better, viability as the price is much better. That way the consumer immediately sees that the price went up since last week. What it also brings is the opportunity to compare which one of two sizes of the same product is a better deal.

It's so funny that you use the word "unintuitive" and the describe the most intuitive way of adding a program to your computer. 😁

And as long as the world has the attention set on the shit show in Palestine, less attention is set on Russia raping, torturing and murdering civilians in Ukraine.

Funny thing: an awful lot of countries that increased their business with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine are the ones rushing to condemn Israel.

A grown up person knows that targeting civilians with rape, murder and torture is something that should be condemned regardless of level. In the case of Ukraine a lot of Russian friends were happy just "hoping that there will be peace soon" even with Bucha fresh in their memory.

At least now we know that India, South Africa and parts of South America are totally fine with colonization. So now we can leave that part of the history behind and know what to say the next time any of those countries bring it up.

That's exactly the opposite of how religion works and the reason why I firmly believe that there should be a clear separation between state and church.

People can believe in whatever delusions they want as long as they don't force them on me.

It depends on what you define as the endgame.

If Kiev is the end game, then Russia haven't succeeded. If Kiev isn't the endgame, the Russian 64km long column on its way to Kiev just becomes more than the pathetic failure of Russian military strategy it was at the time.

If WWIII is knocking on the door it started with Russia trying to invade Ukraine.

No.

That was easy.

That's not how you spell "Tibet"....

Care to elaborate?

Well, what a pickle Iran had put themselves in.

First they promised to punish Israel with "brave men", only to try to use the Palestinian suffering as a shield to get out of threats they didn't think through before making them. Now Israel responds, as expected, that they are not backing down an inch.

One might wonder that if Iran was so keen on helping the Palestinians and having all those "brave men", why not attack Israel to help the Palestinians instead of hiding behind their suffering like a coward?

Yo, Iran... Maybe not sponsor terrorism and maybe not escalate the situation further? Maybe actually let your love for the Palestinians, and not your hate for Israel, guide you?

Let's call it for what it is:

Planned obsolescence.

Israels actions can be considered disproportionate and really really bad and Hamas can at the same time be considered to be a terrorist organisation that execute terrorist attacks against civilians. One bad thing doesn't automatically cancel out another bad thing.

Grown-ups knows that two things can be considered bad at the same time.

There's a lot of toddlers on Lemmy....

Shortly as in?

Microsoft has no choice.

Arm has been dominating the biggest growing market mobile (everything from phones to tablets and now). Intel is fighting a three front war now. While one battlefront is the mobile market where ARM essentially is the only choice, another battlefront is dominated by Nvidia with the processors for graphics and ML/AI. If that wasn't bad enough, AMD is attacking hard on Intel's home arena: PC CPUs.

When Apple dropped Intel for M1 they showed that Arm wasn't just some niche processor technology for less powerful devices, such as mobile devices.

So not only is AMD taking market shares in the PC market, ARM is on the rise and doesn't look very good for Intel right now.

Is Intel really capable of innovating their way out of their current path to extinction?

Yo Finland. How did it go the last time the Russians attacked you?

Ok, you avoided my question so let me ask again: What is the leverage Iran has that you speak of?

The issue is about Iran promising retaliation, something Israel had in their calculations long before executing the strike on Iran in Damascus.

Israel has historically shown that they are more than capable of striking targets inside Iran. Iran knows exactly this and this is the reason for them using the Palestinians as a shield to avoid an escalation.

Ask yourself, was the offer time limited? If not, then there is actually nothing stopping the suffering of the Palestinian people in the "offer" from Iran.

So, what aces up the sleeve does Iran have here? What leverage do you speak of?
