  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Most big distros are old enough to drink though. Ubuntu is 20yo, Fedora 21yo, openSUSE 18yo, Arch 23yo, Gentoo 23yo. (I got curious and a bit carried away…)

    But sure, Debian does have them beat by roughly 10 years (31yo).

  • EU OS

    Jump

  • This OS isn't made by the EU, but it's goal is to become sponsored by them:

    Is EU OS a project of the European Union?

    Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.

    The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.

    Personally I don't see why EU wouldn't just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it's a good system as far as I know and it's home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).

  • Sorry, I realise this is half-joking and not at all the point of your post, but I find it interesting...

    Otoh, I really don't want to learn chinese, meh

    It's unlikely to become the lingua franca over night, especially since Chinese already speak English (well, the ones you're likely to come in contact with). Maybe your grand-children will learn it in school though.

    Apart from the characters and pronunciation, the latter of which is probably quite easy if taught at an early age, Chinese is quite straightforward. There's no regular vs irregular verbs because there are no inflections at all - no cases, no tenses, no plural forms. Just plop the words down in the right order and you're done. And as a second language, I guess we would only use pinyin until quite late in school.

  • Finland votes: Social Democrats take the win as Finns Party (far-right) support collapses

    Jump

  • My impression as an outsider (some, but limited, exposure to Finnish politics) is that the Finns have the right way of dealing with these far right, maybe. What they always do it seems like is to create a coalition government of the largest parties, including the far right. This keeps them from riding the underdog wave of support for years, and exposes their incompetence in real political issues (usually these parties only have one well-formulated stance, and that is anti immigration - that's the solution to every single other issue).

    I'm welcome to criticism if my outsider perspective is misinformed. (-:

  • TIL about 1 million liters of urine is spilled onto the bathroom floor every day in the U.S.

  • I used to be in this camp, but will now avoid public toilets whenever possible. Not having to sit on others pee and butt sweat is pretty awesome.

  • Chinese chip giants say they don't care about U.S. tariffs — many don't sell to the U.S. anyway due to existing sanctions

    Jump

  • If a tariff falls on a product category but no one is around to hear it, did it even make a sound?

    so I guess 165 tomorrow?

  • Automating this system with some kind of algorithm is not right, but a nearly blind 70-year-old can still do damage? The angle here is weird.

  • Over 160 Chinese nationals fight for Russia in Ukraine and "Beijing knows about this," Zelensky says

    Jump

  • 160 people is a very tiny force, feels unlikely that this is China's official (official between Russia and China) contribution. China is a country with twice the population of Europe, and 160 guys is all they send to help?

    This explanation feels more likely:

    One of the captured soldiers claimed he paid 300,000 rubles (roughly $3,000) to a middleman in China to join the Russian military in exchange for the promise of citizenship, Ukraine's Luhansk military unit press service told Ukrainian Pravda earlier in the day.

  • US stocks soar as Donald Trump backs down in global trade war

    Jump

  • I think this but it's just the people seeing his tweet immediately before he lifted the restrictions.

    Market doesn't know if the tariffs are even coming back, and are taking the chance to buy back low.

  • is my PR big enough ?

    Jump

  • If you're organisation is small/flexible enough, maybe look into using some kind of stacked diff system. We used graphite at my previous company and it's amazing for working with these kinds of things where you have a million little things to fix and they're all kind of dependent on each other.

  • Those windmill blades are all pointing the same direction!

    Jump

  • You certainly have to account for it, but surely some consideration must be paid to the fact that most of these images are quite useless. I've probably generated 100s of midjounrey pictures myself, to very little benefit except seeing what it was capable of. If we treat these usages as equal to cover image for a blog, I don't think it's quite fair. Not to mention the actively harmful usages (CP, deep fakes etc).

    Live Updates on the Global Market: China raises its retaliatory tariff on the US to 84% effective April 10

    Jump

  • Aight so, we have two huge economic powers in the world and one that's lesser but still very big. The two huge powers are fighting each other to the death, destroying each others economies as well as their own. Lets go EU Century? 🙏

  • I don't really have a horse in this race eitherway, but what about finding a person who can draw a decent looking thumbnail in 15 minutes? Probably that's gonna be using various webservices such as fiverr or something along the way?

    But the whole idea of comparing them is kinda funny. As if that human would just be turned off and not consuming any energy if they weren't making a thumbnail for your blog. Though maybe they'll make a cup of coffee they wouldn't have otherwise before getting to work. You never know!

  • Is this a rhetoric question? Because if you have the answer I'm interested to know.

    If not, I don't know. At 2:18 this video references a previous attempt to re-arm Europe, and that one of the reasons it never got through was because the US didn't like it. It seems to be referencing the Saint-Malo declaration, but I've yet to be able to confirm US role in this.
