Building fighters in the age of drones feels like deciding we need a domestic battleship program.

Been using this for years. Best thing is to get your own domain, that way if you later switch providers, you keep your email.

Position sensors exist - I had a Roland organ module years ago that had what they called a DBeam one. Basically a position based effect pedal.

Russia can be right, the EU is not left. Both are capitalist.

You’ll be greeted as liberators?

Well, not YOU personally . . . Chickenhawks saying this crap never seem to make it to the front lines.

Ukraine is already not a democracy.

I think it will be sooner than people expect. For at least 9 years now the US has not only been crumbling, but flailing as it does so. The ability of BRICs to shrug off the US actions is new and will have massive impacts soon.

BTC won’t be used as a currency IMHO. Blockchain likely will, but EVM is much more compelling. BTC might remain as a historical backing, but its trade will move to the ETH chains as well.

OpenStack with Kubernetes on top probably. Openstack gets you the IAAS, but not PAAS, if I understand Openstack correctly.

I think #kubernetes might actually be that - they’ve got a start with the Kubernetes jobs, etc.

That was what Chromebooks did as well, isn’t it?

It’s not just Trump - there’s a reason that Russia, Cuba, China, and North Korea have made moves to adopt Linux. The US has been seeking to weaponize their tech standards for a while, especially as their empire crumbles.

Bingo. Even just a small amount of what they were previously paying the US tech firms would mean huge advancements.

President Xi, do you not hear my people cry for liberation?

Feeder?

And as the US deteriorates, these programs will likely be the first to be curtailed.

I have people who have been refugees in my family - they’ll tell you being early is much better than being late.

Not really. While there’s a concerning swing to nationalism, that also ignores just how much of an outlier the US is in both nationalism and economics.

Yeah, we do both numbers here, ones AND zeros

Yeah, there was a whole Chris Farley bit with them. So you can figure where the end point of that is.

Like most stuff with Mike Meyers, by the time he included it, it was kind of cringe.

The EU should begin pouring large amounts of money into open source solutions then.

Talk is cheap, but developed code is a dagger straight at one of the few American industries that still make things.

Enlightenment -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> Pop
