What happened with China bad, US good? Can we now both agree that both countries suck?

I guess the next four years will be “interesting” and divisive. This world is going from bad to worse.

What are you going to use this GPU for. Simply for playing and you don’t care about ray tracing AMD is king. Or if you find a deal on Intel.

Self hosting LLMs and hobby AI/ML projects, NVIDIA.

Blender - NVIDIA

Internet Streaming - NVIDIA

Video editing - NVIDIA

Plex/Jellyfin - Intel

Unfortunately in most cases NVIDIA is still the king.

You are really underestimating the complexity of the task of building a web engine.

Another problem is that Chrome is already ubiquitous and most of the web sites are simply ignoring the Gecko and only optimise against Chromium.

Don’t get me wrong, I truly wish we had more completion and I hope those projects take off and with time become a viable alternative of Chromium but I am somehow doubtful.

Yes, these trifold phones look amazing. I am upgrading my phone every 4-5 years, and usually try not to overspend on it, so most likely I will skip buying trifold the next upgrade cycle so I guess 2030 the technology would be mature enough and more affordable.

I guess that the Belts and Roads initiative really paid out for them. With it they got access to a lot of mines in Africa and now have access to rare minerals, which are needed for their industry.

First of all, we are not talking here about ash but the cigarette filters, 4.5 trillions of it are littered every year, that contain all the toxins, are made of plastic fibers and it is not bio degradable.

Have you ever been to Europe? Because I have been traveling all over the world including the US, and spent a couple of months there, and I can tell you that even though there are some really great people in the US, the amount of self entitled people there is astonishing compared to any other country I have been to.

I am not saying there aren’t any racist or self entitled people in Europe too, of course there are, but in my opinion much less compared to the US. Simply the fact that half of your population votes for Trump and Republican policies is quite telling.

You know the Earth doesn’t revolve around you.

On the other hand, I think cigarette butts are also quite polluting the environment too. So I am not sure what’s worse.

And let’s not fool ourselves. It is all about controlling the masses.

Right now politics and religion is one dividing factor that fuels enormously the racist views of the population. It simply divides us more than it unites us.

In most developed countries you don’t even need a gun. Why would you need a gun if you are living in Paris, or Rome for example, or New York.

You are missing the point that the girl who accused the teacher completely made it up, she was not even having a class with this teacher this day and she lied to her father because she was expelled that particular day for bad behaviour.

One day in the future, our kids or grand kids will read about it and will be in disbelief how selfish and ignorant their predecessors were. But, as usual, it would be already too late to change anything.

The famous 996, they have this work culture from 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week. Good luck having any power left after such a week.

Actually it is quite the opposite. But just look where the birth rate is growing. Usually it is poor, underdeveloped countries.

The more developed the nation, the more expensive the life is. Like in Munich, good luck having kids, where a 3-room apartment costs almost like the average salary. Then think for a second or third kid. No way.

Plus, we now have entertainment in our hands, 24/7, called mobile phones, be it Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook. Who wants a sloppy sex, when you can spend the time binge watching the latest TV series or having dopamine kicks from your favourite social media.

They are practicing this in India if I am not wrong, but it is done by the parents. They are collecting CVs of prospective partners and sharing them with their kids. So it is like Tinder for parents kind of.

I also have a Pakistani colleague and he told me that they have a dating app, but for marriages. You see the profile of the girl/boy, where they share how many kids they want to have, etc.

Nah, there is simply too much money involved. And sadly money influences absolutely everything from politics, moral decisions, war warfare, etc.

I was astonished that one of my colleagues is actually a fan of Andrew Tate. Mind you he is also based in Europe, where people tend to be more self aware.

He actually is also into Trump and is a global warming denier, so I guess he fits the profile and still I think this is the first person I personally know who sympathizes with them.

The far right is really on the rise and we as humanity seems to have learned absolutely nothing from history.

I really feel sorry for those guys, they are recruited to fight someone else’s war in a foreign country and are literally exchanged for food, money and space technology like a cattle.

This shows how much the NK government values the lives of their citizens. Grim!
