I mean... having a chokehold on cloud computing is still very much a source of the dominance US and Chinese companies have to shape world markets these days...

Nah, some people just have other priorities... and you don't just have to sheeple through life like it's a checklist driven by peer pressure to move onto the next stage... you're fine.

Beluga whale pair move from Ukraine's war-torn Kharkiv to Spain's Valencia ( www.reuters.com )

MADRID, June 20 (Reuters) - Marine biologists have moved a pair of beluga whales from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv - the target of daily shelling by Russian forces - to the eastern Spanish city of Valencia, in what they described as a long and risky international rescue operation....

Even in petrostates? But most petrostates are not run by the people or for their people, so petrostates will keep being petrostates until demand for oil in EU/China/India dries up. https://www.worldstopexports.com/crude-oil-imports-by-country/

Yea, but who builds infrastructure? Where I live, 50% of the workforce in construction is immigrants.

PS: I'm not saying what you say isn't true, it's just weird to see countries that were built by wave after wave of immigrants now say it's not working anymore. What changed from then to now?

PS2: https://www.vox.com/politics/351535/3-theories-for-americas-anti-immigrant-shift probably it's inequality making the majority of people feel like if they don't have enough for themselves, how can new people move in?

also: I was wrong, there's always been some pushback against the wrong kind of immigrants e.g.:

Fell down a rabbit hole, sorry for the linkdump, this stuff really puts into perspective the stuff happening in american politics today.

Wasn't there a new infrastructure bill recently?

Democracy, rule of law...none of these are the norm in human history, they are not even intuitive concepts. It takes effort to keep alive against human and historical forces that keep pulling us back into becoming authoritarian shitholes. The great delusion is that since Fukuyama many thought liberal democracy was the inevitable final state whatever stupid shit we do with it...it's not.

It's almost like an emotional state. What is complex for dogs is smell, the way they read the local bulletins pissted by all the locals, their health, their fertility, what they have been eating, their emotional state. And then they can leave their own peemail for others to smell and get all the latest community news :)

It's not a trap, because they were warned beforehand about what would happen if you did it. It's a dare, like in "Jackass!".

Feb. 12 – After another unfruitful phone call between Biden and Putin, U.S. officials warned that a Russian attack on Ukraine could come at any time. A Kremlin aide accused the West of creating “hysteria.” “The Americans are artificially inflating the hysteria around the so-called planned Russian invasion,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters after the call between Biden and Putin. “The preconditions for possible provocative actions of the Ukrainian armed forces are being created alongside these allegations.”

Probably, yes. Imagine how superhuman you'd feel skydiving without a parachute outside the day of your death knowing you couldn't die. (plot twist: you spend 10 years in a coma afterwards and still die from doing it :/)

How to make an old USB brother laser printer wireless?

I have an old Brother laser printer that's been doing fine and doesn't need to be replaced, but it only supports USB. Is there a device besides an old computer/laptop that would make it a shared wireless printer that supports windows machines well? I'm pretty sure i could come up with something myself, but i would prefer an...

what is the point of having a community dedicated to climate change if you're gonna spam it with the same spam of every other sub? How is this related to climate?

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal ( truthout.org )

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

Guys, this war is not going to end before the US election, stop pretending: bibi and his fascist buddies want to get trump into the presidency so they can do whatever they want. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905

hamas thinks that more victims means more support for them and they are never going to surrender or hand over the hostages. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/gaza-chiefs-brutal-calculation-civilian-bloodshed-will-help-hamas-626720e7

PS: The disagreement in the negotiation is the ambiguity on the permanence of the cease fire: hamas wants guarantees that the war will not continue in the future. Biden is not in a position to give or force that guarantee if he loses. Israel does not want such a guarantee, because they think they can eventually exterminate hamas faster than the suffering of palestinians radicalizes new militants.

Depends on income. With more income, I'd travel a lot and do things. With no income, I'd try to make some things, be online and read pirated books :)
