This sounds batshit insane, and it is, but it is also true. In the USA, anyway. What is even the job of the government under capitalism if not to fix this kind of shit.

Isn’t the French national debt wildly out of control? I guess they could raise taxes instead.

Maybe not the lions? Unless you think men fighting over harems of women is cooperation.

You can move freely in the EU, but all the non-legal barriers are the same as everywhere else.

I see you want to live in the US after all. Valid thing to do. But don’t complain about the consequences.

As an individual: Definitely leave. Generally I think some people ought to shut up and get the hell out instead of impotently complaining online.

I think what these posters are asking about, though, is how it is possible that the American people in aggregate support this system? And they do. Just like how about half of Israelis support Netanyahu. Sure sure. Electoral college, voting system, bla bla. Trump won the popular vote against Harris. How? This is clearly an electorate that itself is the problem. The people of the US doesn’t suffer under its government. The people of the US suffers because it chooses to.

Hmmm… Not a fan. Any new box should have at least ML upscaling, ML ray reconstruction, and support for cooperative vectors. RDNA3 is PS5-level tech. Hope Valve picks either RDNA4 or UDNA for the gpu of whatever comes next

Apparently the arm doesn’t work that well.

Dunno, but the airlines object to the same thing because they want to sell add-ons, insurance, car rentals, and bonus programs. Maybe there’s something similar going on?

Roborock seems to be the nvidia of robot vacuums. They’re not always the best, but are seen as a safe choice, and they have the best app. I gave up on reading tests since apparently models are refreshed every monday, and just got a roborock.

The best vacuum is apparently the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, and you can actually find it in stores still, but it costs like 1200 euros or something insane like that.

Tldr it’s a market for lemons, sadly. Everyone copes by getting Roborock. The one known good one costs as much as a 5080.

The average Swede emits less CO2 than the average Thai. If Sweden wants to halt reforms while waiting for the USA, China, and the rest of the world to catch up that seems fine to me.

Ok, macht auch Sinn.

Wohnste in Nordrhein-Westfalen?

That’s fair, honestly. Fuck Orban and everyone voting for him.

It’s not all the same. A key thing you want is to get the latest graphics drivers (mesa or proprietary) as soon as possible after release. Same day or at least week. For that you probably want a rolling release like Tumbleweed, or something based on Arch, like CachyOS. I’m running Pop OS, and I still don’t have the drivers needed for Doom: The Dark Ages. Seems to take like a month or so for Pop OS to update Mesa. Seriously considering trying CachyOS for this reason.

To be fair, there’s a lot of “art” in video games that no other industry would recognize as such. Brick textures. That kind of thing. I’m perfectly okay with using AI for these necessary but unimportant tasks. Same with using stock assets. These assets just have to be good enough for nobody to notice they’re there.

Nicht unbedingt falsch: Wenn unproduktive leuten Wohnungen in der nähe von Arbeitsplätzen vom Markt hält, schädet dass der Produktivität. Ob dass so wichtig ist, dass wir Leuten rauswerfen sollte, ist einer andere Frage.

There’s a good joke I heard from a friend about Communism:

What kind of communism do you support? The kind that’s purely theoretical, or the kind that always fail?

So eine art Sozialismus, aber National. Deutschland zuerst, aber mit Sozialleistungen für echte Deutsche… Ah, uhm, es riecht ein bisschen… Kacke.

Die Alternativen zu Atomkraft sind nicht wind un PV, sondern Gas und Kohle.
