But if this does happen it will be in my opinion the start of a slow death of the democratization of tech.
At best it means we're going to be relegated to last tech if even that, as this isn't a case of SAS vs s-ata or u.2 vs m.2, but the very raw tech (chips).
>It is irrelevant who invented Rust. The relevant fact is that it can be used as a tool to divide the community because of its very opinionated design.
Compared to C where it has the opinion of no fixed data types making you deal with it.
>Systemd was equally opinionated and also caused huge division. Who is paying the bills of Poettering these days: Microsoft.
Systemd was only opinionated in how it should break posix, because it's meant to be Linux only.
And you're then saying that there is credible evidence that Poettering was a Microsoft mole almost 15 years ago with instructions to create systemd to "disrupt" the Linux ecosystem?
Boy did Microsoft fail there, more distros than ever adopted it and it's these days almost entirely pain free.
>The Halloween documents show that Microsoft is playing these games for a long time now. Who knows in which way they have advanced their psyops. Just because we can't read their E-mails anymore doesn't mean they stopped doing it.
If you have actually read the docs you would know that their strategy is not to divide and conquer as they say FUD does not work, but to instead compete with OSS.
So you can't, and if a "dumbass" like me can understand the importance of empirical evidence but you can't, maybe read up on rational thinking instead of lashing out emotionally.
>The other path would be to switch to Chromium, which would free all the Gecko developers to work on differentiating a Chromium-based Firefox from Chrome, and guarantee that Firefox is always better than Chrome
No they would get fired, unless Firefox found a new big project to earn money from, which at the moment is not very likely.
Nukes are always the absolute last resort. Do you think the EU wants to kickstart the global nuclear holocaust just because Russia keeps flying drones in their airspace?
If nukes were such an obvious cheat code to victory, Moscow would have just nuked Kiev instead of struggling in embarrassment for 4 years.
Do you think that Russia wants to Kickstart a nuclear war considering they would start the war?
The reason why Russia hasn't used nukes against Ukraine is simple: it would cause Russia to be isolated completely from China and even seen as a unhinged potential enemy and it would most likely be seen as an attack on nato and if nothing else would normalize nuke proliferation as now countries who don't have nukes sees that a new precedent.
>I don't, with or without further integration. Not everyone or everything is meant to survive. Everything has a shelf life. The Roman empire also collapsed. Rearranging the deckchairs of the titanic doesn't change the outcome.
Why have strong opinions if you're really just a doomer?
Yugoslavia broke up mainly due to ethnic not cultural differences, it wasn't Croatian Serbs against Bosnian Serbs.
And the entire point of a healthy relationship is to compromise and try to understand the other side, which is the point of the EU.
So Spain contributes to the east as a compromise for getting heavy subsidies themselves.
>Why have strong opinions if you're really just a doomer?
Are you the opinion police?
>the entire point of a healthy relationship is to compromise and try to understand the other side, which is the point of the EU
The problem with compromise is that everyone becomes equally unhappy. And when everyone is unhappy strange results come at elections.
EU member states are so different, that you can't have regulations that benefits an economy like Denmark and also simultaneously one like Romania. Which is how places like Romania now have German energy and grocery prices but Romanian wages and pensions. Not exactly a great compromise for a lot of Romanians.
>So Spain contributes to the east as a compromise for getting heavy subsidies themselves.
It doesn't matter how it is in reality, what matters is how Spanish voters perceive it come election times. Elections are always won on vibes and feels rather than facts and arguments.
>The problem with compromise is that everyone becomes equally unhappy. And when everyone is unhappy strange results come at elections.
And the alternative is exactly what?
Compromise is not a negative or a positive otherwise healthy relationships wouldn't be defined by those who find compromises.
>EU member states are so different, that you can't have regulations that benefits an economy like Denmark and also simultaneously one like Romania. Which is how places like Romania now have German energy and grocery prices but Romanian wages and pensions. Not exactly a great compromise for a lot of Romanians
What specific regulation is causing tremendous benefit to Denmark but is causing harm to Romania?
And if Romania pays a lot for energy spot price then that is on Romania, similar to Germany, on top of this grocery prices are not regulated by the EU.
>It doesn't matter how it is in reality, what matters is how Spanish voters perceive it come election times. Elections are always won on vibes and feels rather than facts and arguments.
Then the fault is at those who do understand facts for not approaching vibes with better vibes, I can agree with you that neo politics has been the biggest catastrophe for Europe.
But the only reason why people follow vibes is because of the lack of social, political and cultural issues being part of what it means to be political and instead politics is portrayed as at best as a numbers game and at worst technocratic (just look at chat control, sounds wonderful when your experts are the police and lobbyists but sounds awful if politicians were invested in social perspectives).
>>Why have strong opinions if you're really just a doomer?
>>Are you the opinion police?
>For asking a question?
Calling someone a doomer then pretending you were just asking a question is bad faith argumentation so I'll have to end the conversation with you.
>What specific regulation is causing tremendous benefit to Denmark but is causing harm to Romania?
That was only a though exercise for an example. But to answer your question with something concrete it would be auto industry regulations for example. If China would destroy Eu's auto industry, Denmark wouldn't care since they don't have one, they'll reap the benefits of cheap Chinese import but it would wreck auto making countries like Slovakia or Romania.
>And if Romania pays a lot for energy spot price then that is on Romania, similar to Germany, on top of this grocery prices are not regulated by the EU.
No, that's on the EU, since the EU forced everyone to tie electricity to gas energy prices in the name of environmentalism which disproportionately affects poorer countries.
> On top of this grocery prices are not regulated by the EU
Doesn't matter that the EU doesn't regulate the food prices, but it's the outcome of the EU free market it led to for poorer nations like Romania and obviously Romanians aren't happy.
A lot of EU market regulations have negativity affected the poorer people of the poorer member States. And they still have a right to vote.
And the EU was always meant to be political, even the EEC was political since I have no clue how you form economic ties without passing legislation.
If anything the EU was built to respect sovereignty of a member state than a union considering they have to evoke emergency power to avoid violating that sovereignty.
FYI “cope” is closer to “delusion used to help you cope with reality” rather than “superficial fix”
Also, I think that some strategies, such as “comfort asking a parent for help navigating a situation” are timeless defenses against strategies like blackmail. There are probably some street smarts that change and some that stay the same.
But if this does happen it will be in my opinion the start of a slow death of the democratization of tech.
At best it means we're going to be relegated to last tech if even that, as this isn't a case of SAS vs s-ata or u.2 vs m.2, but the very raw tech (chips).
