Chinese GDP will be more than double that of the US in under a decade, if recent growth rates persist. Economic activity in China is almost certainly already approximately 33% larger than in the USA.
i'm 100% sure that we're going to fight dirty to prevent something like this from happening and some small perverse part of me hopes they succeed because my government is clearly conditioning everyone around me to accept war and that will happen if fighting dirty doesn't succeed.
I really don't see what the US can do to stop this. China is already the biggest trade partner for most countries, it cannot be isolated. China has industry that absolutely dwarfs the US, and a huge well educated population. Now that the war pushed China and Russia close together, China has access to critical resources like food and energy that can't be cut off. I'm also worried that the US would rather end the world in a nuclear holocaust than lose primacy. I guess we'll see if the oligarchs want to spend the rest of their lives in bunkers.

i bet that's why they stopped bothering with hawaii and have switched to new zealand; the southern hemisphere will recover from a nuclear winter more quickly than everywhere else and they're using it as "proof" that it's possible to maintain their control after everyone exchanges their ICBM's.
some other perverse part of me hopes that the russians or chinese very publicly points an ICBM or 2 at their bunkers to help push them away from this kind of thinking.
We saw how people handled the pandemic lockdowns, and living in a bunker would be far worse than that. Imagine the most narcissistic people in the world who are used to their every whim being catered to having to live in a box like a rat. They will go mad in weeks even if it's a gilded box. I do think a lot of them realize this and would rather rule over a diminished empire than suffer that. My expectation is what we'll see happening is that the US will cannibalize Europe and Canada to prop itself up.

the clueless ones among them never got to experience nor learn about the affects of the lockdowns because they fled to places like texas that didn't enforce ANY covid related precautions; i lived there during that time and, if it weren't for the news, i would not have known that covid was a thing since absolutely nothing changed if you weren't afflicted by it and even then there were plenty of posts of social media of people who nearly died; recovered; and still didn't believe that covid was dangerous.
I'm learning it little by little too, but I'm still at the very beginning. I agree It is known for its complexity. And It's quite different at least from European languages. But it's more interesting to study something unusual for you. :)
For sure, it's an enjoyable kind of challenge. I also find some aspects of the language are actually easier than other languages I've learned. Not having conjugation is really nice since you just learn the word once, and the grammar is generally pretty straight forward. I got flustered about the tones at the start, but then just learned not to worry about it. People will understand you from the context even if you screw the tones up. Writing is the hardest part, but it's just a matter of repetition in the end.
Rappare skjuten i centrala Norrköping. Polisen fick ett larm om ett misstänkt grovt brott i centrala Norrköping kvart över 8 på torsdagskvällen. En man i 20-årsåldern påträffades skottskadad på platsen och fördes till sjukhus med ambulans där han senare dock avled av sina skador. Han ska ha träffats av många skott.
Yes. I do this. You'll want to look up X forwarding.
Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.
One year ago I developed the first (and from what I know, still only) real-time CSAM detection tool for the fediverse. This has been in use by this instance and recently the real-time version was put in use by lemmy.world. Unfortunately the false-positive rate was a tad too high as this was still using my original implementation in horde-safety. But through our demands in the AI Horde, we've had to constantly tweak and improve it over the past year and thereofre we've had an improved checker for a while, but not used in fedi-safety.
Unfortunately I haven't had the time/motivation to update into it recently so lemmy.world pinged me about its false positive rate being a tad too high, I felt it was a good time to do so.
So now horde-safety has been updated and it should already be more accurate. The admins

So now horde-safety has been updated and it should already be more accurate. The admins of lemmy.world already put it into production and they have the most demand, so they'll report back with their findings in a week. If this is not sufficient for lemmy's purpose, I have some other ideas for tweaking it.
And yes, memes and pressure on the admins is what caused me to look into it, but remember we're all just volunteers here. I would have looked into it if y'all had asked nicely as well ;)
Speaking of volunteers, if you want to support my work in providing tooling for lemmy and the Fediverse, feel free to send some support my way which covers all of my FOSS project work.
Scientists conducting a biodiversity survey in Peru's Alto Mayo region discovered 27 new species, including a blob-headed fish, amphibious mouse, and arboreal salamander. The 38-day expedition recorded over 2,000 species.
Findings include a rare semi-aquatic mouse found in a threatened swamp forest and seven new fish species. Indigenous knowledge played a key role in identifying many species.
Scientists also documented 49 threatened species, underscoring the region’s ecological significance and supporting efforts to bolster local conservation initiatives.
That mouse is adorable! I just wish they showed pictures of all of the cool new/rare animals, I want to see the spiny mouse and the squirrel! At least they had the salamander though.
Great article, but I'm surprised it didn't end with them saying they planned to follow up with the indigenous people and use their knowledge to help fill in the gaps...
Yet another example of western science thinking we have to reinvent the wheel - the person they interviewed said that all these "new" species were already known to the locals. Obviously we just needed to ask.

So we've got a President, a billionaire, and now a closely allied nation that are all out of control loose cannons, who are all willing to ignore any law, moral code, or ethical detail, and to destroy any person or entity who stands in their way, and the entire world seems powerless to do anything meaningful about any of them.

After years of telling the public that the United States has about 900 troops in Syria, the Pentagon has revealed there are approximately 2,000 soldiers there — double the previous estimate.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said the additional US forces have been in Syria since before the ouster of former President Bashar al-Assad this month, though he did not specify a timeframe.
“We have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 US troops deployed to Syria. In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest, we recently learned that those numbers were higher,” Ryder said.

Tried calibre for the first time this week. Geez how simple it was to get it up and place my first eBook on my reader. It was all done in a matter of some few minutes, very intuitively. I didn't even need to get any documentation open. Great tool!
Framgångsrikt arbete mot sprängningar i kriminella miljöer menar polisen. Allt fler sprängdåd förhindras hävdar de. En av anledningarna enligt dem är att tillgången till sprängmedel från den civila marknaden har minskat kraftigt. Men det är nog inte hela förklaringen för allt annat våld i kriminella miljöer har också minskat sen förra året.
Fem män åtalade för mord i gångtunnel i Skärholmen. De har åtalats vid Södertörns tingsrätt som misstänkta för inblandning i ett mord på en 39-årig man i en gångtunnel i Skärholmen i södra Stockholm den 10 april 2024.
I was turning on IPV6 in my router settings, and in order to do so, my router had to reboot, and without thinking, I went ahead. I then realised, my server is connected to said router, so after the router rebooted, I checked and saw that most of the docker containers were fine, except for the Piped container.
When I go to the Piped instance that's hosted on my domain, it just brings up a Cloudflare Code 522 Error (I use Cloudflare)I tried restarting the containers over and over again but no luck. Any advice? I will provide more information if needed.
No fewer than 614,937 Nigerians were killed and 2,235,954 others kidnapped across the country between May 2023 and April 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has revealed.
