I don’t think that’s the game being played now, the new meta is forcing your enemy to be so busy tearing themselves apart that you are free to act anywhere in the world.

If Russia wins in Ukraine, then the Sino-Russian axis can start taking a more active stance in the middle-east, and Israel has to deal with Iran without a blank cheque from the US, and even Saudi Arabia has to make compromises.

It’s in all their interests that the US fall to utter chaos, and Trump is the Lord of Chaos incarnate.

The argument against that is that Iran actually had a chance under Obama to rejoin parts of the global order, and was open to that.

I think one mistake we all make in geopolitics is to see countries as monolithic, I suspect Iran has political factions that want to bury the hatchet, and factions violently opposed to the same, much like every country has different opinions among themselves.

… Why?

I get that Trump was a worse person to deal with, but they were probably still better off with him, he was so erratic the rest of the world edged away from us.

2 things:

1. It’s more the determinacy, a GC randomly fires up and your systems stops for some long amount of time. There are pauseless GCs but that’s a different nightmare.

2. The kernel has things similar to GCs. They’re used for more specialized tasks, and some (like rcu) are absolute nightmares that have take decades to get working.

Trump’s coin dropped already.

They’re not obscenely high, they’re obscenely high for our lifetimes, I grew up in the 80s and these are adorable.

But I actually agree with you, our economy has a lot of really f-d up things because we lived on free money so long, we needed to wean slower because otherwise really, REALLY bad things were going to happen (SVB was the tip of the iceberg).

That is an epic dick fucking move.

Fire them all, publish their names, and Linda Wilson needs to spend some time in a cage.

Listen, China is going to start a war, their overall situation basically demands it, and we’ll win.

But if they decide not to, that’s fine too.

I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m just not remotely afraid of it, countries like Russia and China need to learn: “Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’.”

And BTW, they’re never, ever, EVER getting Taiwan back.

Yes, how dare we ram a ship in their own territorial waters without provocation.

Having worked in China, oh my god it’s somewhere between hell on earth and an open air prison, I’ll take the US any day.

We should get involved.

The Chinese people deserve better than their occupying CCP regime.

It used to be really outdated and missing new applications, with a kernel 1 major version behind.

All that is fixed, they even have good support for new architectures like riscv on par with Ubuntu.

God that’s painfully me.

Except I moved to lxc and zfs with homebrew scripts for most now, pass containers around the network like candy, including an arch lutris one.

Wow, this escalated quickly.

Or gentoo.

Make a script to extract it to /opt/local and make a symlink.

You’ll end up using it so much and it’s an easier upgrade on your terms.

Try debian, they improved so much over the past decade, they’re a better Ubuntu than Ubuntu now without any bullshit.

They are windows, but the linux version of dll-hell across distros and distro versions makes windows dll hell look quaint.

If someone had addressed that better it would be one thing, but binary interoperability is infinitely broken, so app image is actually an improvement.

I think he means ctrl-r.

Damn, I conflated the two numbers. I am shame.

It’s not as bad as it looks, especially if you aren’t hardcore, but for long-term linux users it’s not great.

Debian has become what Ubuntu wanted to be: An easy, clean distribution that basically just works, which is a major reversal.

Also consider fedora.

But don’t be worried about Ubuntu, it’s still completely usable.
