That’s cool but is also a rather useless description of the situation. If you add up the contributions from the top 15 military spenders in NATO (excluding the US) you get about half of what the US spends. The US dominates military spending in Europe no matter how you slice it.

If you want to reduce military reliance on the US, which you unequivocally should do, it will require either significant investments in defense or the acceptance of a significant reduction in military assets and preparedness for the EU as a whole.

Europe is welcome to try. In fact, I don’t think it is controversial to say it is preferable that they work towards that goal. However, that doesn’t mean he and Trump are incorrect about the EU’s reliance on the US military for defense. It was a decent plan for a long time but now we’re seeing the pitfalls of allowing a single foreign entity to handle most of the continents security. The fact that Trump is a huge piece of shit doesn’t change how much the EU has historically invested in defense.

What are you referring to when you say basic brute force protection?

It really is insane to me that in all the world there’s only been one guy (Luigi, allegedly) bold enough to do something about this absurd level of inequality. Think about how many people get murdered for such petty reasons every day, and yet we all look at a few dozen people sitting on literal mountains of cash while thousands of people starve to death and all we do is shrug or wag a finger. Statistically you would expect at least a handful of people to have the right combination of fury and lack of self preservation instincts to take a shot at them and yet here we are. What a wild place to live this planet is.

Wake the fuck up people. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Nothing meaningful will change until that statement is more true than it is now. The reality is that most of us are still comfortable enough to not want to risk what we’ve got.

It should be clear by now no one will hold him accountable for anything he’s done

You’re not wrong but that message needs to come from the leaders of the EU. The fact that it isn’t says as much about your leaders as what you’re saying does about the US.

But will they?

I’m not an expert but I have a decent set up going. If you think it would be helpful shoot me a DM and I’ll find a way to show you what I’ve got set up and give any tips I can. It sounds like I started in a similar position to you and I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned so far.

Edit: anyone else reading this is welcome to do the same.

Sure, but my point was that someone new to Linux can only answer that question with “what the fuck are those”

I appreciate the effort put into this but if answering yes to “are you new to Linux?” leads to the follow up question “apt or rpm?” then there’s a problem.

What does lower top 10% mean?

I really like that the link at the bottom of the page says “check out more stuff you should be using” but that URL takes you to a page where the curl article is the only link.

“more coming soon. Or not. I don’t owe you shit”

A majestic site indeed. Bravo sir.

I get what you’re saying but it’s not actually that kind of all or nothing situation. I’ve never met a person that would only do FB or nothing at all. Everyone is browsing FB on their phone anyway so skip the middleman and start a group message thread. Easy solution that takes almost no effort or adjustment. Nothing will ever improve if people like you and I refuse to change our habits even slightly.

Sadly I have to stay on it for friends and music reasons

No you don’t

Ah, yeah I don’t do that. Haven’t had much of a reason to so far. Only have a few minor convenience type services opened up

Maybe you guys are hosting more than me but I’ve got a few ports forwarded and don’t see any unusual activity. I guess I’m just lucky.

Isn’t cloudflare a pretty common part of remotely accessing your server? I don’t use it but I’ve seen lots of people talk about it and recommend using them.

Like the absolutely easiest, most accurate way to tell if someone is trans is to just ask the person in question.

So, are you one of them Trans gingers or what?

Like that?
