Crypto makes financial surveillance close to impossible. That is why governments hate it. Just because some opportunists are running scams it does not mean all of crypto is a scam.

Probably yes. Vulkan is everywhere now. For example I use a lot of Gamescope to play (upscale) older games and it uses Vulkan.

Governments don’t like it when there is something they can’t control. That is why they hate crypto.

China’s life expectancy also surpassed the US:

This is hilarious and exactly what I would expect from Microsoft.

It’s funny because it’s true

Someone in Washington is probably triggered by this.

It’s funny because it’s true.

Just yesterday Greek coast guard fired on a civilian Turkish container carrier. Greece is behaving like a textbook rogue state.

It’s not just Habeck, but a Germany-wide problem. Our politicians are career politicians with very little practical or useful knowledge. For example our health minister during most of the pandemic studied political science and law, not medicine or anything healthcare related.

The German economics minister Robert Habeck has a degree in Philosophy. No wonder he doesn’t understand the complex world of energy and natural resources.

The West doesn’t want this war to end.

What’s the cause of the drop?

It’s a free market only if they are winning.

Javascript in a nutshell

American nationalists are going to have a field day with this one.

Does it matter? Are we ok with this because we disagree with what she is reporting? She is not a combatant.

This is basically Philly for you. It’s that kind of a place.

They are also more likely to get sick.

The scientists that created that AI are the real artists.

Automated scanning of online content will generate lots of false positives like this.

Our (German) decision to phase out nuclear energy was a huge crime.

I was expecting parallel imports from India or Turkey to replace them, but the Chinese are really fast.

I think Ukraine has plenty of manpower. They mobilized their entire population and have around 700,000 fighters.

What Ukraine doesn’t have is air and artillery support. There is no way an offensive will succeed if you are attacking someone with superiour firepower. Guys with rifles & javelins can defend cities against Russians, but this won’t help them retake cities.

Did anyone expect anything else?

It’s exactly this. Gas, oil and wheat are essential things. Russia sells them to Europe. What Europe or the US sells to Russia can be replaced.

This is just pathetic.

Nice. If trade doesn’t cross borders, missiles will.

This is hilarious.

UK Cabinet getting yelled at by their US overlords is an accurate representation of UK’s position on the global stage.

Bonus points for getting yelled at by the deputy. UK is not important enough to get the actual NS advisor.

Cool! Where do I get one?

Moral of the story: embargoes against your most important trading partner are a bad idea.

I wonder why anyone downvotes this story.

US troops do this all the time. I remember a similar story from Turkey not that long ago.

Yes please! I have nothing against Lemmygrad, but I also don’t want them to overwhelm everything else from my All feed. Please let us block entire instances, not just communities.

The article pretty much says that Nexus Mods is losing users because of this ban.
