American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology’s goal becomes the “greater cause” worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

Hamas is still holding innocent Israelis hostage and sexually assaulting them.
If Morocco sent gangs over the Spanish border to rape and murder (even babies) and took hundreds of hostages, no-one would ask Spain to negotiate a ceasefire while the hostages are still suffering.
Hamas must be destroyed. It’s disgusting that the EU and UN have been funding them directly.
It’s just hilarious that the US will bomb Nordstream and push Europe into crisis, whilst resisting any action that might raise their oil prices in the election year.
Just so one-sided it’s incredible.
Don’t people always carry passports anyway? A lot of airlines refuse ID card only travel so it’s always too risky IMO.
He’s winning against the gangs though - every Salvadorean I know supports him.
Yeah, and they would use them if they had foreign armies pushing into their territory.
But no efforts were made to really democratise and modernise Russia - they let oligarchs rise up from criminal gangs, etc., it’d have been better to have a more controlled process like Glasnost.
That isn’t realistic, and Russia has nuclear weapons too.
The best bet is that the regime will be toppled in Russia with time, just like the USSR was.
It’s better to lead by example with free institutions and free markets - the people of Russia will want freedom too.
Honestly it feels like the only reasonable outcome is a division like Korea, and focus on modernising and liberalising West Ukraine.
Protectionism makes us all poorer in the long run.
Free markets make free people.
There’s a lot of protectionism though.
Like this will drive higher inflation.
I can’t vote anyway, because I never voted back in my passport home country. Despite holding EU citizenship and living in the EU.
It sucks that voting rights aren’t just tied to paying taxes - the EU should really sort that out, so it functions more like a whole citizenship wherever you live, like the USA is.
No-one cares about the European elections, the Parliament doesn’t even have the power to propose new laws.
On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono
But if you can afford it I’d recommend paying for Proton’s services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don’t ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.
The regulators are on their side… government is not your friend.
It makes a bit of sense for physical inventions where the process is the most important part. Whereas for software the actual code is really that process (and covered by copyright), rather than just the idea.
Software patents shouldn’t exist. You can’t patent the idea of doing something.
therefore making them harder to intercept.
You mean far, far easier to intercept? You used to be able to just stick a coil around the wires.
The main issue is just a lot of countries governments’ don’t trust computers still. In Germany they insist on fax and post as it’s the only thing they can use as proof of signature in court, etc.
But it’s government laws and regulation that is behind. It’s not so much of a technical problem (although E2EE email standard would be nice!).
The CPU becomes the real issue though - which then means changing motherboard, which means changing RAM, etc. and then you might as well get an NVMe too etc.
Do that many people upgrade every generation?
I still use a 1070, so the GPU comparisons here aren’t relevant.
The main issue I hit was deciding between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM since we’re in an awkward transition phase - and that affects motherboard and so CPU choices too.
No port forwarding really kills the utility though - I mainly use the VPN to do port forwarding (e.g. for video games, Plex, etc.) as my ISP is shit.
Like I’m not worried about state-level de-anonymisation, I just want to be able to share services remotely and have a minimum level of anonymity.
