Is Trump Sabotaging Europe's Rearmament?
Jump
Buffalox @lemmy.world 2h ago
Which is why Germany also cancelled American missiles in favor of Ukrainian Flamingo missiles.Germany works closely with Ukraine on development and production of military equipment.
It is also why EU has the SAFE program, for coordinating procurement and development and research and production to make member countries less dependent on USA while building stronger defense. Canada and Japan are also members of the EU SAFE program.
The preparation for USA not playing ball anymore started already more than a year ago, shortly after Trump became President, and almost immediately showed where he stands on Defense and cooperation in general. Only to soon even threaten allies with invasion!

True, but empathy is also an intelligence, and lack of it is also lack of a crucial form of intelligence.

You are not centrist if you voted Trump. You are not centrist if you were even considering it.

how much money is there in total?

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 17h ago

In my opinion, money is not just debt.

Money is literally an "I owe you" note. It is issued by a central bank, and has no intrinsic value. The entire value of money is based on trust, that this "I owe You" note will good when you need to spend the value of whatever you did to earn the note.

Jump

Linux can easily be run on your 500 MB HDD, it can also be run from an USB stick or even a DVD.

Linux can even run on the original Raspberry Pi, a single board computer with only 512 MB RAM!

You should probably look for a distro that is made for older systems, but if you do that, it should work very well. There are obviously limitations with only 2GB RAM. So I wouldn't use a resource heavy desktop like KDE/Plasma.

The End of Trans Rights in the UK Is the Start of Democratic Collapse

Jump

As far as I can tell, Then Prince Charles expressed "personal" political opinions, and even this is getting close to the line of what is accepted. Pretty much proving exactly what I wrote earlier. There is AFAIK no evidence that any of these opinions had any actual influence.

These opinions were allegedly expressed as personal, and not in the function of being royalty. Even if they were, he had absolutely zero power of governance at the time.Was this wrong? Maybe probably yes, because the King/Queen is supposed to be apolitical.Was this in any way a threat to UK democracy? Hell no.

It’s not a Monarchy problem, it’s a British Society problem.

Yes this I agree on, British society has a problem, which this may be part of, and that is the British exceptionalism. Categorizing the king to be the highest, the lords to be second, the people third, and all foreigners fourth.

This is a sick attitude, that may stem from when UK was a world leading Empire?But the parts about the king functioning as part of the democracy, that you see as problems are not.Your perception of the problem is skewed. And without the King or Queen to fulfill certain elements of democracy, you would need another way to handle those functions, and the evidence shows us that they are not better in practice, even if they should be in theory.

China's new homegrown gaming GPU flops in performance and price — flagship $485 LX 7G100 can't keep pace with Nvidia's older RTX 4060

The King in Britain has the power to stop laws.

Yes and the second the king tries to use that power, the king will be replaced by a sorts of president. That power today is nothing but a formality.

There is no such thing in most other Monarchies in Europe.

Bullshit, this is perfectly normal for a kingdom, we have the exact same rule here in Denmark, it is a formality that the king must "stadfæste" (kind of confirm) a law before it is legally a law.

This was used actively by the king during WW2 when the Germans occupied Denmark and dictated new laws. In this way the King was able to soften German demands, because they knew that threatening the king would make the Danes angry, and make problems worse for the German occupation.

Don’t confuse

You're the one who is confused, you very clearly fail to understand how these things work in reality, but has built a conspiracy theory that is completely disconnected from reality.

The power of the King is not in any formalities, because those can be changed by the parliament in an instant.The power of a king is exclusively in his popularity, and can never in reality be used against a publicly elected government and parliament.

A king or Queen may be popular, but they are also only "tolerated" as long as they do their job well. They are not allowed to disrupt the governance of the people.

Again the problem in UK is FFP voting and the house of lords, that actually have power to stop laws from getting passed without being democratically elected!

OK, I'm guessing you mean that 40xx series should be better than 30xx because 40xx is newer.And that is true, but a card ending on xx80 is 2 levels higher than a card ending on xx60. And about twice as expensive.Typically 70 and 80 have higher RAM bandwidth, which is the reason it is so much faster at higher resolutions.But comparing a 3060 to a 4060, the 4060 is indeed faster.Still even an RTX 3060 Ti would be faster than the Chinese card.

PS: The Ti on Nvidia cards signify a faster card than the base model.

‘There is profound disappointment in him’: mood in Russia turns against Putin

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 1d ago

You would think, but the 2 were actually not that tightly connected.While the people protested, Nicolae Ceaușescu was judged by a military tribunal by people high up who had power in the old system, led by a general. Ceaușescu was allowed no defense. And he was executed immediately after together with his wife.

It was very much an assassination. An assassination by his own, who used to follow his orders, and who were guilty themselves.
