It's absolutely hilarious how European political mainstream created an echo chamber where the possibility of Trump winning was completely inconceivable. They bet everything on being able to hide behind America's skirts and are now left grappling with the fact that they have no friends left.
It might've been if Europe actually was independent. In practice, Europe is entirely dependent on the US militarily, which allows the US to dictate terms to Europe.
To do what, exactly? Defend them against the hypothetical Russian invasion? That was hardly in the books. Exercise force in defence of colonial interests? France been doing that by themselves just fine (until recently). If anything, US military presence in Europe seems to be for the benefit of USA and USA alone
That's precisely what, it doesn't matter that the invasion is a fantastical idea as long as Europeans believe in it. You're completely correct that US military presence in Europe benefits the US a lot more than it does Europe. NATO is a protection racket the US set up after WW2 to ensure that Europe didn't fall into Soviet sphere of influence. Today, it's ensuring that Europe doesn't get too cozy with Russia and China which would degrade US political influence there.
Current European mainstream is atlanticist to the core, so unless there's major political change in Europe I don't see how it's going to break free.
EDMONTON – The president of Alberta’s largest worker organization, the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL), has sent a scathing letter to the CEO of the company…
Unfortunately because of email services being monopolized by Microsoft and Google I wouldn't be shocked to see them block X Mail and make it basically worthless.
For as much as the Joe Biden administration seems bent of increasing customer convenience with its dying breath, I wish they'd do something to keep Microsoft and Google from blocking personal/custom email servers.

We've just updated the Steam page for Sid Meier's Civilization® VII with minimum and recommended specs for Mac & Linux! Check out the requirements here to make sure your rig is ready for Civilization VII on February 11: MAC SPECS MINIMUM: OS: Sequoia…
The previous Civilization games are playable on Linux, so its not really locking out Linux users. But I guess the online part does not work? I never played in online modes, so didn't lookup or knew this.
Yeah previous ones ran fine, however there was a post on here maybe 4 months urging everyone to fill in a survey to convince firaxis not to cut off linux by using a particular anticheat that locks linux out in the new Civ7. I just assumed you were the same guy.
I'd hold off pre-ordering and wait for release as while there are Steam specs like you posted I also found a blurb about a denuvo DRM.
Having said that Steam are pretty good for refunds if stuff doesnt work
No, I'm not that guy. I also didn't know about what the guy did, before you telling me here. Officially there was no plans on adding Kernel level anticheat to the game, right? So what the guy did was not based on real information. Or did I miss an official statement?
I have looked at the Steam discussion board for the game and people seem to be unhappy (based on the official streaming to showcase): a) Denuvo is planned to be integrated (not sure if plans have changed), and b) game looks and plays much different than any Civ so far. So Denuvo might still be integrated, but game can be perfectly playable on Linux. Denuvo is not an anti cheat system, its an anti theft system against piracy.
I wouldnt buy it until after release given the Denuvo probability. I'd hold off until it's proven to work and doesn't break for Linux users. Civ6 currently works as both native linux and priton/windows version on my machine, but I know others have had troubles with the native version. If Denuvo prevents proton running the windows version then many linux gamers may have an issue.
I definitely counsel a wait and see approach.
I have bought civ3 through 6, I'm interested but def not committed to 7 and Denuvo and its personal datagathering is a redline no for me.
I would totally ignore these specs for the moment. It's not telling much.
System specs are meaningless without knowing what the terms refer to; the context is missing. Like what resolution and fps we are talking about here? What level of settings (graphics and such) are used for "minimum" or "recommended"? The problem why the devs do not a "proper" specs sheet is, because they could be liable for it. I mean the more detailed the list is, the more people get angry if it does not work as expected on their machine. Also nowadays we have handheld PCs like the Steam Deck, which is pretty standardized hardware. They could provide detailed information how well it runs on a device like this or if its not playable / supported.
I guess this was being sarcastic, but just in case it wasn't:
If you launch the game through Steam that probably won't matter, because Steam brings along its own libraries for games to use. That collection of libraries is called "Steam Runtime", and if the game only uses libraries from the Steam Runtime, it will run on any distribution that the Steam Runtime is compatible with (what afaik means basically all distributions).
There are some exceptions though. Graphics drivers for instance are not bundled in the Steam Runtime.
And last, but not least: Even if you don't run the game through Steam, it's probably just a bunch of libraries that need to be installed. They only need to be the same or a newer version than those used on the developers' build server.
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 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.
I do think a lot of them realize this and would rather rule over a diminished empire than suffer that.
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
... show more

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.
