It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.
Also all the CO2, clearly we should be banning these flying machines from spreading mass quantities of weather changing chemicals in our atmosphere.
I feel like one thing Russia did right that the west has fucked up is stockpiles, even with huge amounts of their reserves being unuseable they’ve still been able to expend more ammunition than all of NATO currently makes in the same duration. So not just drones but standardized rifle rounds and artillery shells too.
It is visionary, just they’re the kind of visions associated with huffing fumes in a back alley.
I tried Linux on my current build with a 9070XT and ended up on windows instead (still got linux on my laptop) Based on what I’ve been told you’re generally going to have issues with very new hardware unless you either get very lucky or go through a ton of troubleshooting. So Linux might work in a couple of months but for now it could be a headache.
Weirdly its plugged directly into the GPU in both cases but neither system info, nor blender can actually detect it. (despite the PC clearly posting) and the Terminal detects a power colour GPU but can’t connect to it.
Ahhh so Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS might be a bit behind?
Direct GPU connection, which makes the fact that it even posts weird now tha you mention it.
So on a utilitarian level I’m all for this, Ukraine is the defender, this is not a warcrime, do it.
On an emotional level holy shit we are now in the being chased through a forest by killer drones timeline.
Completely true but I would still appreciate a bit less blatant cronyism, like when X company is paid for product, delivers crap, then is paid again to dispose of the crap they just delivered.
I mean we don’t, my government can spend tens of billions on literally nothing and then spend millions more investigating where all that money went. We certainly have democracies but part of what we vote for is who’s raiding the public purse.
Even then ChatGPT would just give you an answer based on the wording of how you asked the question to try and agree with you.
Wasn’t the fairness doctrine right wing propoganda already? iirc the point was to give 1 anti-vaxer the same voice as every single pro-vaxination researcher on earth combined.
I thought he was a used tesla salesman?
Aren’t like half of those bullet points positives? Also in addition to what you said once you got a tree you got a tree, those tanks need constant maintenence and cycling which I doubt anyone is going to bother with for more than a year after installing them.
It’s honestly a win for Ukraine under the circumstances, ideally they wouldn’t have been strongarmed but at the very least they either get assistance or get to keep their minerals.
According to CNN the rough terms actually agreed are:
“future American military assistance to Ukraine will count as part of the US investment into a joint reconstruction investment fund that will be used to pour money into Ukraine’s natural resources.”
So if Trump flakes out then no investment is ever made.
Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.
iirc Europe was already the majority supplier of arms at this point but the US is/was vital in a few key areas where Europe just doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity yet (They’re working on it but it takes time to build a whole new MIC)
