Even if this ends the riots, it will likely not be for long. Maybe 6 months maybe a year. It’s impossible to know.
But what is almost certain is that next time, the rioters will know the stakes, and they will riot with a lot more violence against the regime and any authorities that stand with the regime.
For many conditions are now unlivable in Iran, and unless the regime can solve that, people will riot even when risking to get killed.
Oh no the Chinese economy is crashing to grow only 4.8%. 😱
/s
To those who constantly claim the Chinese economy is crashing.
so that Trump has an excuse to cancel midterm elections. They know that if the elections happen,
Goddam the debates I have had, where people claim that is impossible, because the elections are run by the states.
I suspect we may see if it’s possible or not, because Trump and the administration are completely unhinged.
A civil war here wouldn’t be a war at all. More like a slaughter.
Unless enough of the people that voted for Trump switch sides or stay at home because they can see things have gone to far.
Nazi Germany only fell because they were defeated from the outside, that is not possible with USA. So it’s 100% up to the American people.
I hope you will have more political allies soon. At least the popularity of Trump has declined a lot since the election.
Even taking Maduro didn’t help on that, and such things traditionally gains the administration and president a lot of support at least for a while. But for Trump it failed completely to gain him any popularity.
OK I honestly didn’t think of that.
Ah well jokes on them, we don’t use the TV for porn.
There is no way less than 100 pm can make sense.
In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.
So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.
But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.
AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.
So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?
What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it’s kind of insane. But it’s not actually 2nm.
Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.
We use a Linux media computer for all our watching, the TV is used as nothing more than a simple monitor. So if our TV does that, jokes on them, because all the metrics they can get is when we turn it on and off and that we watch through HDMI at the TV max resolution. 🤣🤣🤣
I stopped watching traditional TV 25 years ago, 2nd best decision I ever made, after marrying my wife. 😀
I hope Iran will make a 2nd attempt at democracy, and that they will succeed this time.
Apple didn’t do shit except maybe increase the TSMC bottom line.
TSMC continuously made the best most reliable independent process at scale since the iPhone came out, and Apple paid to get the combination of reliability and performance.
In about 2016 TSMC surpassed even Intel because Intel stumbled on their 10nm process. But at the time TSMC passed Intel, Apple was only about 10-15% of TSMC revenue.
At the same Time AMD became a major customer, and Nvidia has also mainly used TSMC apart from a short period where they used Samsung.
The success of TSMC is because of TSMC skill and business tenacity, not because of Apple or any other customer.
Apple basically had 3 places to go, after they asked Intel and Intel said no.
Global foundries, a company already struggling, and tied to supply AMD.
Samsung A company with wearying quality and output in the highest end of their capability.
TSMC A company with years of showing high stability at volume, and the leader on performance for independent production, and with high trustworthiness.
The idea of Apple making their own foundry at the time would have been insane. They simply chose the best as most other high performance high volume chip customers did.
Now TSMC is the undisputed leader, with Samsung and Intel playing catch-up as TSMC now leads in performance, yield and volume production.
Yes smartphones helped TSMC achieve the revenue required, but it wasn’t Apple as a customer that made TSMC into what they are today, TSMC was getting there even before Apple became a major customer.
What really helped TSMC though, was that Intel initially discarded the idea of making the chip for Apple, because Intel saw it as a low profit margin market, which they had no interest in.
So TSMC was helped by the arrogance of the only chip manufacturer that was better than TSMC.
It is the case, they are just not generally saying it out loud.
Germany is participating in all EU programs to curb dependence on USA, and are as active as everybody else in EU.
There’s a lot of holding back regarding saying what they mean, because it’s better for this ugly divorce to happen gradually, and prevent it from getting uglier than it has to be, because EU is not ready to cut ties with USA yet.
But Europe is preparing to not having to take shit from USA anymore. And these preparations are made easier by Trump undermining USA’s economy and political influence globally.
AFAIK after WW2 the US economy was almost a third of the global economy, and now it is only about a fifth. The economic dominance of USA is declining, and with it, the political dominance will decline too, and with declining economy, their military will also decline.
We just have to stop propping the US economy up with continued investments in it. And by we I mean all other countries and especially democracies.
Yes, absolutely uncompromisingly ruthless.
it doesn’t help that Zionist propaganda is literally conflating the two.
Absolutely.
I’m really doubting the existence of independent unbiased sources that measure the actual effect.
I’m not sure the actual effect of what? Antisemitism? Because I think that polled pr4etty regularly.
This one is about Israel:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/03/most-people-across-24-surveyed-countries-have-negative-views-of-israel-and-netanyahu/
This is from UK:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/study-finds-that-one-in-five-british-people-now-holds-antisemitic-views/
I bet that UK piece is reasonably representative of EU too. And the study claims that antisemitism has doubled since 2021!!
That would probably make them more unpopular here.
I can only say that from what I hear on the news, and what I see here on Lemmy, and what I hear from people I know and meet. The picture is the same, Israel is pretty universally hated for their war crimes in Gaza, and to some degree that carries over to non Israeli Jews. I think most people at least here in Europe are beginning to understand that the terrorist attack on Israel, that made this blow up ,was an act of desperation.
I obviously and very specifically was talking about Jews of Israel about those leaving, and not Israelis in general.
The latter part about Arabs hating Jews, that is Jews in general.
I would think the context made that reasonably clear. My comment has nothing to do with any other demographic of Israel.
74% of the Israeli population are Jews.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel
This is also at a time where they must know that many places they are not as welcome as they used to be.
Personally I have no issues with Jews outside Israel, because the vast majority of them are clearly against how Israel is handling things in Gaza. But I know people that have great difficulty making that distinction. Especially among Arabs, they almost universally hate the Jews.
USA 🤣 🤣 😜 🤡 👎
Nice to see a robot that doesn’t walk like it has shit its pants. 👍
It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.
This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.
Zuckerberg finally got tired of the METAverse being useless and going nowhere.
But he still thinks he is some sort of visionary tech genius. And he wants to capture the next big thing before anybody else.
If he were smart he would have realized the metaverse was a stupid idea years ago. But unfortunately for him he is not very smart, he was just lucky and ruthless with facebook, and now he has become a megalomaniac drunk with the power of his billions.
It is only months ago he thought he could create strong AI by building a massive LLM thinking strong AI would be an emerging property of massively concentrated stupidity. I think he at least has realized that is not the case.
