Someone has to know because scientists and engineers are educated in universities and not in military boot camps. Universities are the origin of all scientific expertise in a nation, including the nation’s military.

Where did you get that from? Why should Lemmy be hostile to that? We often get posts about donating to valuable projects and such.

It’s not allowed with books

Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called “libraries”? IA does not “republish” anything, it is an archive.

Why? It is finally time to cripple the Iranian regime. Iran has a horrible government that does not treat its citizens (especially women) much better than slaves. Those abhorrent people of Iran’s leadership cannot get access to nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

Hezbollah are actual terrorists and proxies of Iran. There is no way any sane person can side with them. Their followers will gladly terrorise Europe and Israel as a “punishment”. The world will be a better place without Hezbollah, and it may finally mean freedom for the Lebanese and peaceful sleep for the Israelis.

Zurabishvili vetoed that bill, but the ruling party overrode her opposition and promulgated it

I don’t know anything about Georgia’s political system. How can the parliament speaker sign the bill into law without the president? How can the government override her opposition? With a super strong majority?

Nah 4K is wonderful. The higher the pixel density, the better the display (for me at least)

Definitely not in the world lol, I don’t think most Europeans care for or have any idea of the geography of New York

Thank you for the strong counterargument <3 /s

In what world are you living where 10 A is on the low side for general-purpose electronics?

Yep, for better or worse, Intel is pretty much the only remaining Western “bleeding-edge” CPU designer manufacturing its products in its own fabs. I find it weird that so many people seem to root for Intel to fail.

Hmmm I love Rogue, it’s such an emotional journey and to me the most compelling and interesting story-wise, seeing an Assassin turn into a Templar and underlining the hubris of the Order of Assassins

Yep, gun culture is really big in Switzerland

Unix is literally the most important operating system (specification) family on the planet. Even bigger than M$ Windows. You’ve got all the Android phones, all the Apple iPhones, macOS, FreeBSD and all the GNU/Linux distributions. Unix-like installed base is by far the largest of any on the planet.

Yep. They tried desperately to build up an IT economy and for that wanted to appease all the tech companies.

But that is not the comparison they drew, and you know that.

Dumbed down hardware? No, the hardware of smartphones is very impressive. It is the software that is dumbed down in the sense that it takes control away from the user or operator.

How did any generation not grow up with the technology as it evolved? Gen X did not invent computers, nor did the Boomers, but every generation made valuable contributions, just as Gen Z will. Again, it is the actions and ideas of gifted individuals that count.

Not a very enlightened take. As @[email protected] correctly put it, tech savviness is the property of an individual and not of a generation. There are non-savvy Zoomers, just as there are non-savvy people from your generation.

Whoa the disrespect. The way she threw away C++ haha

Also, the whole thing was next-level cringe
