ARM has much better efficiency and price than x86

AMD would need to license it though, Apple pays the lowest licensing fees, about half of the other licensees. Meanwhile, they have a full x86 license in a practical duopoly.

ARM has become less attractive ever since SoftBank bought them in my opinion, if I was AMD or Intel, I'd rather invest into RISC-V than put money into a company that has gotten more restrictive with licensing over the years.

All the immigrants were driving him mad /s

Maybe ZeroSSL

Were you banned or shadow banned?

I was only shadow banned once, however never banned normally.

CLOBBER!

Dang I haven't played Noita in like a week

Thinking about it, it's weird that it has no native Linux version

Better than me getting shadow banned from reddit for using one, I appealed back then

Exactly. They're all regulated. But gambling (addiction) is not an official "public health issue". As the linked paper states:

First, gambling is a public health issue. In setting policy, governments should give priority to protecting health and wellbeing over competing economic motivations.

It's not a call to start regulating gambling, but to change the way to look at it and act accordingly.

I agree. The issue is not the fact that a police exists. The issue is that often, there's no body in charge of investigating it proper, sure you have Internal Affairs (it you don't, as here in Germany), but it can't be part of the police itself. It needs to be an autonomous body that isn't part of police itself and does nothing but investigate them.

Ukraine was under the Russian orbit since the 1700s. It was a fifth of the economic output of the USSR. In the Russian nation-state mythology Kiev is the mother city of all Russians. They share one of the largest borders in the world of mostly plains.

There’s a lot of reasons. Russia views Ukraine as theirs. Neither Finland or Alaska hold a fraction of the ideological, historic, and strategic importance to the Russians

Right, what I was getting at was that all the other claims are bullshit, this is a war because winning it would grant Russia strategic advantages, and they thought they'd win the conflict, probably not even expecting a full war; just a three day special operation.

go and re-read the 1994 agreement. it does not promise any help at all beyond promising to “seek immediate [UN] Security Council action”.

That's why I wrote "granted", I know this is more of a political intentions paper, my point was that nobody can act surprised when a signatory actually follows through later.

One could ask the question why states are choosing to align with countries other than Russia. The answer is that most of Russia's allies get screwed. Look at Armenia's situation with the CSTO.

Russia and Ukraine may have agreed on a tentative deal to end the war in April, according to a recent piece in Foreign Affairs.

“Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement,” wrote Fiona Hill and Angela Stent. “Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and instead receive security guarantees from a number of countries.”

Calls it peace plan, then I'm the next paragraph refers to it as "negotiated interim settlement" where Russia gets to hold all of Crimea and the Donbas... and the word peace doesn't even appear in the linked article. Nor any reference to an end of the conflict, and even the word "deal" only about the grain export.

The "Zelensky is a badass" narrative in 2024 is hilarious.

And yet, you're the only one calling it that. I was just stating that was offered and that Ukraine's government declined, asking if you're saying that this wasn't their own decision - which you dodged answering.
