China?
ahh, okay, maybe actually makes sense, but one needs much more context and knowledge to understand than I have of australian(?) politics.
looking further into the website there was this cartoon, which confuses me:
The Graph go down, its labeled as being a projection of future deficits. which means the losses will be lower. Avoidance of a loss is equatable with gaining of a win. but the guys are drawn as stupid and are obviously for nuclear power, which statistically speaking isn't quite profitable.
So are they just stupid for wanting to make profits off of nuclear power and investing into the economy? Or did someone make such a basic mistake that it is questionable whether they should be trusted in their judgement of other issues?
That was a very funny refference when they set it up back when.
yes the tomato-shaped egg timers existed first. but the pomodoro technique is quite helpful.
As far as I've watched across the world, when China gets angry or antsy they shoot down a canadian Fighterjet or two and then everything is "alright" again.
Because they cant really provoke the big, fat second-grader, so they bully the teeny-weeny 3rd grader to the north.
Following that, Canada would do hell before joining hands with the Chinese of all...
You have infinite Energy? enough wood?
Pay your workers! let people have houses!
let them take breaks, give them affordances!
Interestingly Adam Smith mellowed out in his later years and got even to a somewhat "leftist" view of the world and wrote against his early works with the "invisible hand of the market".
your comparison to Finland - Germany confuses me.
Is it as large as both together? that would be +
Is it somewhere in between? then there would be a more apt comparison and a better wording.
is it (Finland) minus (Germany)? well thats negative. weird.
I have Uninstalled R from my Ubuntu laptop and then i got signed out from ALL of my apps.
Western or eastern are just labels of affiliation, such as in team sports. But in the world of security Teams are irrelevant. Something is either good enough or it isn't. And that measurement is liable to change over time as you gain knowledge and the proverbial landscape changes.
In tech it is best to not trust anyone, zero trust as it is. But that seems imposible so we all make our own compromises. my recommendation would be
a) try to change something in your own (government) structures
b) lay low when using anything where you have to trust someone, be that any google, facebook, microsoft etc. service, yandex, duckduckgo, telegram, threema, any e-mail service (even proton mail, tutanota...), most cheap and easy VPN services, malware services, AI-Services...
c) look for connections in spaces where trust is mininal, such as open-source-software, self-hosted-services, I2P and Tor, torrenting.
lemmy is a special case, where anyone can launch a server and communicate with other servers on a completely tdifferent level as in other places, as such it allows for higher security standarts and will less quickly fall to big-moneyd interests and singular government overview and control.
