If you live in the US probably not.

Because they have nuclear weapons. Imagine the disaster of the Vietnam war, but with a couple of USA cities obliterated by nuclear warheads.

From the moment China was banned I knew without a doubt that we will get very cheap CPU and GPU chips in the near future.

That graph is too old or has the wrong information. Apple is more than 2 trillion today and Bitcoin is about 500+ billion right now.

Please! We can’t predict the weather for tomorrow with enough certainty and you want me to believe that we know how it will behave for the next 250 million years?!

I heard the same argument from IBM and HP when they started producing Servers, desktop computers and laptops, amongst many industries. With the new laws affecting the procurement of high end chips for China the motivation is very big to develop their own high end chip manufacturing machines.

You are wrong about that, if anyone is a prison it is the US, the country with the largest prison population in the world.

Well, I can, at least, choose who will spy on me. It’s either the US or the Chinese, everyone should try and find out which one is the lesser evil in their particular country and position.

The silver lining is that sooner or later China will develop their own machines and we will all have 50 bucks Ryzen 9 chips on AliExpress.

Has anybody thought about making flying a good experience? I used to travel a lot before 9/11, after that it was once or twice a year and mostly one or two weeks, then COVID hit and everything stopped. After COVID, every trip has been a nightmare where absolutely no one is responsible for anything. Traveling is not for me anymore. Maybe in the not so distant future it will get better.

Making the bomb was a good decision, dropping two over civilians after the war finished was genocide.

Americans in general hate to acknowledge the war crimes they commit. I think it was more about a business decision than anything else.

The US is in complete denial of the genocide they did dropping two nuclear bombs in two different cities with mostly just civilians. Everybody else in the world see the pictures of the Japanese aftermath when we study the second world war.

Dig never died. We still moved to Reddit. What calls my attention is that most of us left Reddit when they changed the site UI combined with their insistance on banning people posting the Blue ray decoding key. Reddit has been way worst recently so my guess is that Lemmy is maturing enough to lure all those not happy with Reddit.
