Otherwise you start getting pushed around by other superpowers
This is more a coincidence of the status quo rather than a consequence of an inherent correlation between economic output and geopolitical power.

Sometimes it gets racist and victim-blaming.
A strange confession to put in a game review.
Pretty sure this was described exactly in Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson, 1992).
I think you forgot to post the article.
If you think that international diplomacy between nation states is like handling kids then you’re not a veteran diplomat either.
I’m no “veteran diplomat” but in my experience it is only the people without real power who make threats. When you have power, you don’t need to make threats. You just respond to events with whatever proportionate response is necessary and within your capability. You don’t need to provide a preview of what those responses will be.
Setting “red lines” looks to me like weakness because it is essentially a plea to the other side not to do those things that you don’t want them to do, and it invites them to push up to those red lines, do anything but, and test their boundaries to test your commitment to them.
Then what you bought is not a mouse, it’s a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but railing against “forced diversity” is just a dog-whistle for rejecting actual diversity.
Normal people don’t actually care about it. If something is shit because it’s badly written with bad character design then we say “it’s shit because it’s badly written and has bad character design,” not “it’s bad because it has women and minorities.”
You clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I’m not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile they’re showing banner ads on the page.
It worked using the ismap
attribute on the image which tells the browser to add the x,y coordinates of the user’s click to the link when fetching the result.
Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:
I’m all in favor of going back to the old internet, but… not this.
Please down your use of “up” as a verb. It ups my blood pressure and downs my tolerance of reading newspaper headlines.
Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
Sorry, there’s no way Qualcomm is buying Intel as is
At the end of its third quarter of its fiscal 2024, […] Qualcomm had $7.8 billion in cash and […] just over $23 billion in total assets. That means Qualcomm, […] is almost certainly looking at a stock-for-stock transaction. As of writing, Qualcomm’s market cap is $188 billion, just more than double that of Intel’s at $93 billion.
In fact, Chipzilla may not be worth much to Qualcomm unless it can renegotiate the x86/x86-64 cross-licensing patent agreement between Intel and AMD, which dates back to 2009. That agreement is terminated if a change in control happens at either Intel or AMD.
While a number of the patents expired in 2021, it’s our understanding that agreement is still in force and Qualcomm would be subject to change of control rules. In other words, Qualcomm wouldn’t be able to produce Intel-designed x86-64 chips unless AMD gave the green light.
is there any ARM chipset out there that can deliver performance on par with the Steam Deck’s CPU
Yes, but they’re made by Apple.
spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months
what? what kind of orbit is that?
they can’t be jammed the way radio can.
I wonder how well these satellite laser links do with various types of cloud cover.
By repeating their rhetoric, even as a joke, it’s just giving oxygen to people who don’t deserve any form of publicity whatsoever. It would be better not to reference these batshit-insane conspiracy theories and then perhaps they would die more quickly.
This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap, so there’s no reason to even bring it up here. Maybe leave these jokes to the American politics threads.
(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.
The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.
That’s an unfair dismissal lawsuit: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/smith-oxford-b2616638.html
