The text of the draft contract offered by US President Donald Trump to Kyiv would turn Ukraine into an economic colony for Washington

  • That’s because there’s no actual intention to protect Ukraine.

  • Giving 50% of all future profits is quite harsh but the first 50% until 750bn+ and NATO membership actually quite a good deal for both sides.

  • For context I’m a Brit.

    I would support a king, if I had a good one. I would hold a man not as equal but as above me, and have him experience and control the country. I would fight and die for that person.

    But only if I got something back as an equal. My King should work tirelessly to improve the lives of their subjects.

    Their majesty should humble capitalists and oppressors and keep them in check.

    King Charles does cut some tape, do some humanitarian PR but frankly it’s clear that people like Bezos run rough shot over him and that’s essentially why I lose my respect.

    • Systemd (apparently this issue is still so hot that a D or a d makes a difference, whatever)

    Jump

  • Systemd has more features than old SysV init scripts. Particularly around detecting events and taking actions such as starting firewalls when joining networks, turning on battery tools when unplugged from a charger, starting new services when connected to a dock etc.

    The other things it does, it does more reliably than sysV init scripts. It starts services concurrently, provides a profiler to improve start up time, contains much less code, provides better security to tapping into the container features of Linux.

    • Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

    Jump

  • In what way does VAT hurt the poor more than the rich? Considering it’s on each item you buy it clearly impacts the rich more than the poor.

    Jump

  • Here in the Uk we have tax for services (council tax), tax for health care (national insurance), tax for all your income (income tax) and almost everything you buy includes a small tax called VAT (value added tax) which is about 20%. There’s also a few taxes on cigs, alcohol and petrol.

    VAT not on food, books but it on basically everything else. The more things you buy, the more tax you’ve paid. You more yoy spend on items the more you pay.

    I don’t know why people are calling it a tax on the poor. It’s obviously a tax on the biggest consumers.

    • So apparently you can just, type the word eject into bash and it will pop open your disk drive

    Jump

  • I used to play with Linux at college back in 2002 and install the distros on the front of magazines. Eject opens the cd drive but did you know it hangs unless you umount the mount point first? Back in those days everything had to be painfully mounted and unmounted.

    • I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones.

    Jump

  • You’d have paid more for basic services like insurance as you couldn’t compare the market. You’d have to trust that clever guy in the pub since you couldn’t Google anything. You’d get lost driving to a new place and have to ask for directions, of course getting the village idiot.

    I desperately hate how my I’m addicted to my phone and I’m praying that when the next generation of Garmin watches come out it will be able to talk to ChatGPT and make phone calls from it, so I could ditch my iPhone forever!
