Of course it is not a perfect comparison, I don’t know of that many ethnoreligious groups with strong ties to one nation state, a strong and historically significant minority presence across much of the world and global recognition on the internet. I hope I still got the main point across though, that the main neo-nazi position is completely insane, and not really related to the atrocities committed by the israeli state at all.

Not a zionist, but you thankfully don’t have to. It is a proven fact now that the israeli state does a lot of messed up objectively evil stuff, but that was never the point of the nazis where I live at least. What I have heard from that crowd, is that all semitic people groups, especially the Jews, should be killed off. There is thankfully nothing in the news to back up that idea, and it is as insane as arguing for global persecution of all baptists in retaliation for American wars in the middle east. The neonazis I have met have simply hopped on this latest war to spread their hate opportunistically.

I guess the previous war didn’t last until the elections, so time for another. On the bright side, it seems like most of our politicians here in Europe are done with joining these pointless tragedies.

In that case, it seems our views on reality and sources are too far apart to find agreement in a comment thread. If you get the chance, I would highly recommend visiting the ex-soviet republics in eastern Europe and speaking with the locals, including the Russian diaspora there. That has been eye opening for me.

So is Ukraine not in Europe or not being invaded? How about Georgia and Moldova? I guess the constant threats against Svalbard and Baltikum, as well as the funding and bribery of alt-right groups all over the west can be seen as technically not an invasion, but it does paint a scary picture. It might be true that Putin don’t want to invade western and northern Europe, but he is actively trying to reconquer what he sees as lost western colonies.

I unfortunately know a bit too many eastern europeans who experienced this aid to see the kremlin with rose tinted glasses. Of course “a random person on the internet said NATO is good actually” won’t change anyones mind, but I would generally recommend everyone to broaden which media they read. It is possible for several things to be true at the same time, for example both that the endless wars in the middle east and Africa are imperialist, and that there is a valid need for military defense against Russia, even if it is flawed.

I take it you don’t share a border with Russia or the USSR before that? We are not fond of imperialists here either, and our government has certainly contributed to some unjust wars over the years, but we have little choice seeing how the kremlin waged wars against its neighbors and own people. I hope for the day when we can live in peace and quiet together with our Russian neighbors, the vast majority of them seem like nice people, but as long as the current regimes over there persist we need some sort of oversized defense alliance.

Now the last weeks miss-targeted adds make more sense. I have seen the weirdest AI-slop adds condemning “the greens” and pushing great replacement conspiracy stuff here in Norway, so I guess someone in the campaign had way too much money and way too little marketing know how. (Add block unfortunately only removes 99% of what websites try to show me.)

Maybe a crop top for people who like extra pp?

Lucky you. Though the weather here on average matches you meme, it has been switching back and forth between 25 C sunny and 10 C snowing all day. This is not uncommon for April here.

Same, except that I think I’ll make a cake for said friends to eat after drinks. Saturdays are the best.

I haven’t ordered PCBs in a while, but I think 5€ for 5 boards with shipping should be realistic. Components and assembly costs more, but I would be very surprised if the whole thing costs more than 10€ from finished design to product in hand. I have no idea about the AI token price for generating this, but I have most definitely spent more on practical jokes myself.

The Marshall plan was a good deal for many of us here way back.

Yes, the only differences are the urls you use when cloning, and the website UI for merge requests and similar. Git is an open source program, github, forgejoe, gitlab, gogs and similar are only managementsoftware for hosting git repositories online.

Probably, so I would guess the core audience to be businesses or schools who need a few hundred a year, but had no need for the computational power of more expensive models.

I would sugest debian, it has the same “just works”-feel to it, and the gnome desktop environment shares some design philosophy with macos. The main downside is that it is often a couple of years behind on software updates. Is this is a dealbreaker, I recommend mint for all, fedora when you need redhat-only software and debian-sid if you feel adventurous.

All that said, if you have a good mac currently, it has the same UNIX-benefits as linux. Using “homebrew” as a package manager and “better touch tool” for the desktop tweaks solves most problems, this is what I do. You may of course want to run linux only software, if this is you then double check if you also need an x86-64 cpu (as opposed to arm) before reinstalling.

I think this will be required to get full score on the safety test in Europe soon, so hopefully it can bleed into the global car market in a few years.
