if the US gives them a nuke ya
So i want this to be the US backing off cuz of their losses but i fear this is them cleaning their hands of it so they can just have the Saudis go ham in their place using the stuff they give them.
Is it using Wayland or x11? Try switching to X11 if on wayland. Theres a scaling issue on wayland in certain versions where it thinks your screen is a MUCH higher resolution than it actually is. Its meant to help with high dpi displays by using digital pixels but on lower dpi displays it can mess up stuff especially in certain software like games.
Tuxedo OS as far as i know is an optional distro they give preinstalled. You can buy them with no OS and install one yourself via usb it takes like 15 mins. This is true of any laptop with an unlocked bootloader (something like a mac can be done but its harder.)
Considering its an island and he probably doesn't care about anything except them not being able to escape it will probably work well for his needs. It's not like they'll be imprisoning actual criminals It'll be a concentration camp and all those need are a few guard towers and the water to keep people in. They'd just shoot anyone who tried to swim.
Most of them already did. My own laptop is a latitude 7400 i got after a business replaced it for cheap. They update their lineups regularly anyway usually. So most will be windows 11 ready. I think this laptop would be able to run windows 11 too altho idk cuz i use debian and have never tried it.
Everyday that this goes on the people who work at ports importing this stuff find new jobs. Once these tariffs are lifted it wont be like going back to normal. The damage is already done. Amerikkka is fucked.
Are people going to throw them out? With tarrifs especially i think a lot of people will just use unsecure hardware.
An independent California and Cascadia wouldnt be any less settler states than the US is. The issue with the US is that the actual native peoples have been so thoroughly eradicated that to remove the settlers entirely would depopulate the nation.
What i would do personally is once the US govt thats in place now is overthrown get all the tribal leaders and representatives of other native communities together and work with them to find a good solution.
I personally would think a good system could be one where each native tribe has a garunteed seat in any governing body and has a heavily weighted representation. Like how some states now have more say per person in the senate.
You could pair that with higher autonomy for tribal lands and giving them more land, access to seaports, things like that. And on the individual level offering support to native peoples. Especially ones who want to have kids because there are literally less native americans today then there were before colonization. Like a lot less.
Another big thing is just listening to native peoples about land usage. California wouldnt have the wildfires it has now for instance if it had listened to native peoples advice on how to manage the land.
As for balkanization itll probably be inevitable but it will make doing these things harder. I imagine the US will have a similar path as China. Where it fractures then communists gain a foothold somewhere and slowly reunite the country.
Lots of these laws are not written the idea to be enforced on every single person but to be something they can easily slap someone with that they want in prison for whatever other reason. Are you a leftist in general? Well were gonna charge you with this and since you cant prove you never participated in BDS you go to prison. Guilty til proven innocent and all.
I used to run a raspberry pi off a external phone battery via usb so i could carry it around while testing stuff lol
Drawing on multiple research efforts, including studies by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 was likely circulating in the U.S. well before the first known
Lol USA LAB LEAK!
Made me think of "I dont care for Gob"
Go outside and get some dirt on you. Seriously. Not saying it to be like "touch grass" dirt is a literal anti-depressant. Theyve done studies on it.
Also being the first generation to break out of that opressor mindset is tough. Like your family, lots of friends, etc are all evil. And you have to rebuild your social life from scratch or just put up with being surrounded by evil assholes.
Ive never used fedora. I have heard some bad things about red hat. I use plain old Debian.
Im really happy i dont understand any of whats going on in this post.
Ive been doing this for a long time. The key is to use open source and community projects for some things and just not use certain other things.
And yes that means youd have to use Linux.
Itll also be a nice juxtaposition that Chinas sharing their moon base with so many nations while the US is scrapping the ISS.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday said China is willing to work with Brazil to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries and jointly address common challenges.He made the remarks while meeting with Celso Amorim,
Chinese space agency says American scientists will be among the international researchers allowed to study lunar samples.
Breaking | European Parliament in ‘final stages’ of talks with China to remove sanctions
‘It has always been the EP’s intention to have sanctions lifted and resume relations with China,’ spokesperson says.
China, and by extension Communism, is winning. I think i know how they did it. (Tl;Dr Deng was a genius.)
So i have been thinking more and more about how stupid it was for the west to willingly deindustrialize. And ive had a realization about why they did it.
If you go back to when capitalism began to really take off a lot of the time different companies and capitalists acted very violently towards eachother. We can see how things like stocks and financial markets were used as a way to reduce inter-ruling class violence by providing an outlet for them to compete inside a legal framework they controlled. The gamification of it.
This seems to have worked for them for awhile. Allowing them to accumulate wealth at an insane rate without much risk of just being assassinated by some rival industrialist.
I think though this has ultimately poisoned their world views and will be what destroys them. In the current era rather than capitalists wealth being based on actual capital, factories, industrial output of their companies, etc. Its more and more based on market speculation. Even the ones w
Tips for a secure LAN with cellular connection?
So i am moving soon, and will be setting up a new LAN. A bit of an unorthodox one. Internet in the city im going to school in is pretty expensive so I've got an old thinkpad running OPNsense and will use that as my router and just tether my phone to it to provide cellular WAN. Both my PC and Laptop use Linux, Mint on PC, Debian on Laptop. I'm wondering what steps i should be taking security-wise on a setup like this? All my traffic will be going over the open air, and i know highjacking cellular connections is something thats done. Other than just using a VPN all the time which im doing are there any other steps i should take, maybe in my computer, or router firewall, that could help prevent MITM attacks? I'm not super familiar with how router level firewall especially works. Is much tweaking even required?
technically OPNsense is FreeBSD based not Linux but hopefully people still know a bit about it
So... what do we do in WW3?
I think its pretty obvious America wants to destroy China and will start WW3 to do it if need be. Tf are we supposed to do. Just try to survive and hope the Chinese win? I wish everyday America had some sort of vanguard party that could lead us through this.
Breaking | Trump threatens China with added 50% tariffs if Beijing does not drop levies
As US president aims at China for responding with tariffs of its own and dismisses global market jitters, some on Wall Street voice concern.
So hes just determined to destroy the American economy i guess loool

I am assuming Stalin would approve of this since he literally robbed trains. Also he's so handsome. So thats why hes my thumbnail.
Recently I have kind of realized that the way I use the internet isnt as common as I thought. I don’t watch ads ever, and I pirate a lot. I thought id share some methods and hopefully help others get a better online experience.
So I know theres a few piracy communities around that might work for some of this stuff, but its not all piracy and I want more people to see it so here we areI wanted to make this because I think a lot of people don’t realize just how easy it is to save money, and time online. Even if you know some of these methods hopefully a few will be new to you.
Time to learn how to look like this IRL 
Trump’s threats to Tehran are alarming. Here’s what they mean.
I said a little bit ago that i had a feeling a nuke would be used within the next few years... i really hope i wasnt right.
A Treatise On Proper Revolutionary Thought In The Current Time by Me
Westerners and people heavily influenced by western culture tend to get really lost in "Idea" arguments. They worry about things like what are someones motivations, or what very specific "freedoms" does a certain AES state have. I think this is a remnant of anti-materialist, and self-defeatist thinking created by liberalism and injected into society as a whole.
Let us first define dialectical materialism. To look it up you’ll get,
“The Marxian interpretation of reality that views matter as the sole subject of change and all change as the product of a constant conflict between opposites arising from the internal contradictions inherent in all events, ideas, and movements.”
This isn’t wrong, but I’d like to expand on it. To be a materialist you must also be pragmatic. You must observe the way things physically are, and not concern yourself with idealist concerns, but rather tangible things. This arises specifically when considering how to achieve the goals of the socialist movement
Places to watch Chinese media with english subtitles?
Im in the process of learning chinese. Was wondering if anyone knows good places to watch chinese content (for free hopefully) in the west with english subtitles. BilliBilli is slow where i am and i cant make an account so not ideal, but ive used it some. The piracy sites i use dont seem to have much chinese content sadly either.
Research path ‘born out of necessity’ leads Peking University scientists to develop faster, more efficient transistor.
A team of researchers at Peking University claims to have shattered chip performance limits and proven that China can use new materials to “change lanes” in the semiconductor race by circumventing silicon-based roadblocks entirely.The researchers, led by physical chemistry professor Peng Hailin, said their self-engineered 2D transistor could operate 40 per cent faster than Intel and TSMC’s cutting-edge 3-nanometre silicon chips , while consuming 10 per cent less energy.“It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” according to an official statement published last week on the PKU website.“If chip innovations based on existing materials are considered a ‘short cut’, then our development of 2D material-based transistors is akin to ‘changing lanes’,” Peng said in the statement.“While this path is born out of necessity due to current sanctions, it also forces researchers to find solutions from fresh perspectives,” he added.According to Peng and his team, their bismuth-based transisto
Voting with your wallet?
Liberals always tell me to vote with my wallet. So i make sure i always buy chinese made products when available. Apparently this is not what they meant, and they don't like it. 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
Got some Chinese tea today and it came in a cool af container.
Red and yellow metal tin that says "made in the peoples republic of china" im definitely gonna keep this container once the tea is gone lol only thing that could make it better is a hammer and sickle.
A socialist perspective on simulation theory.
I was thinking about human development and how as we get further into a socialist society we may find it hard to get children to fully grasp what past systems were like.
There are people who theorize we are a simulation and they give various ideas for why this might be. One most of them wouldnt consider as they are libs is we could just be in a full immersion learning environment. Imagine we are all students in some future school who have been sent into a simulated past to live the lives our ancestored lived and see first hand the horrors of capitalism. Start taking notes youre probably gonna have to write a paper on all this shit once you wake up.
Xi Jinping will be in the Russian capital for war anniversary but no confirmation from US president.
The top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) vowed on Saturday to bolster war response posture to cope with any security situation during his visit to the Ministry of National Defense marking Day of Army Founding, state media said
The DPRK is ramping up defensive measures. They tend to have pretty good Intel so they must have caught wind of something worrisome.
I've really gotten a kick in the ass from Chinese comrades on 小红书Xiaohongshu.
So, like many of you I'm sure, i have been on Xiaohongshu lately. It was like a breath of fresh air. I always knew that China was there with its 1.3 billion strong population a majority of whom are extremely based. To see it first hand though? To actually talk to them? It reignited a flame of hope inside me that was getting pretty weak lately. It's easy to get lost in the horrible shit going on. Especially in the west. Where youre surrounded by fascists and radlibs constantly. Part of why i use lemmy is to get that experience of being around sane people. Who arent existing in some alternate reality created by US propaganda.
Now despite my username I'm not one of those people who thinks China does no wrong, and is a perfect utopia. It's still very much in the early stages of socialism and admits as much. One thing i heard from a Chinese comrade though was- paraphrased: "China is preparing to bring the next international socialist movement by 2050. Things are going well, and we are con
