ive only ever seen it called a game of telephone idk where the racial part came from

Honestly it probably would be way less safe because the network of pumps and fans and whatnot that would be needed to keep that tunnel both DRY and oxygenated would be insane. I’m also pretty sure the trains would need to be built like submarines to prevent the atmosphereic pressure from crushing them? Or maybe the tunnel? It honestly seems like an engineering nightmare.

I mean at that point just have the supreme court be elected. Split the country up into 9 regional districts and have each one elect a judge. Every 2 years have 3 of them up for re-election and every 6 years you get a full reset.

It depends what you mean. Will open source software be less safe comparatively to closed source because of AI? No. Will it be less safe? yes. All software is less safe because of AI. Has nothing to do with open source.

Personally I don’t think the issue is just your leadership. It’s all of them. The democrats are all just playing you guys for fools. Even the ones who talk about medicare for all and stuff don’t intend to actually do it save for very few of them, and once they get in a few months later they’ll be voting for Defence Budget expansions, and all that other stuff just like anyone else. Unless Americans get in the street and start burning shit down nothings going to happen. Be French.

As someone who has absolutely 0 belief in Bourgoise Democracy I’ll tell you what I think will happen: They’ll put up some sacrificial lambs like that lady who was the greek ambassador and Lauren Bobert and a few other mid level crooks. They’ll bring them into congress and grill them and then maybe they get 10 years in prison max. More likely some fines and stuff. Trump will probably pardon anyone who is going to see real consequences. They’ll then take their money and run. Dems will control the White House and both chambers of congress after 2028, but they won’t pass public healthcare, or anything else like that. They’ll do some minor reforms and maybe a public option that will become a permanent battle every single budget hearing. By 2030 midterms there will be a snapback and “Red Wave”.

As for the foreign policy stuff I didn’t mention it because to quote Biden, “Nothing will fundamentally change.”

I hope I’m proven wrong. I really do.

Yeah like I said your in your phase of socialist development where you’ve accepted that the west is evil, but you have yet to deprogram yourself from the propaganda about its adversaries. So you see both the west, and its enemies, as the problem. Which is incoherent. I do not think anyone exists who thinks a government is perfect, but China is very clearly much better in many ways than any western government, and that is the very reason most of the global south looks to China in friendship.

It’s a common mindset to go through. I hope you can get through it in a productive way.

Edit: Read your other comments nevermind. I realize you are like in some sort of weird transitionary phase where you don’t like anyone. Try it out in a few years when you realize the axis of resistance is the only way forward.

so they can sell a 2nd cab to the other 2 people

Idk about Obscura VPN personally. Made a post about it here: https://lemmy.ml/post/53749507

Edit: I also find it weird that you include Obscura when you didn’t include Mullvad because Obscura is built on Mullvad lol. It uses Mullvad servers.

it does yeah but I’ve got one personally and intend to keep using it regardless.

Well you realize there are two sides to a partnership right? Motorola is a for profit company. They want to make money. They’re not gonna subsidize our security. Graphene likely will support their cheaper phones in the future, but part of the deal was this phone being first I’m sure.

You can get Pixel 6 for 195$ refurbished on Amazon.

Pixel 8 renewed is lik 260$ and runs Graphene and has software support thru like 2030 fyi

Well I don’t think Graphene OS devs chose the price of the phone lol. This is just the Motorola phone that has the hardware Graphene requires. Like a security chip. Give it a few years and this phone will be on the used market for 400$.

Do you say the same of Microsoft? Or Apple? They both have their own OS. Huawei has 114,000 employees in Research and Development. Microsoft has 77,000. Apple has 166,000 in TOTAL and do not disclose how many are in R&D.

Huawei used AOSP, and Linux as a foundation for earlier versions of Harmony OS, but have since switched over to an entirely bespoke HongMeng kernel.

I’d personally rather it be FOSS but I’m still glad to have any sort of competition in the OS space. It should be normalized that all programs should just have to compile themselves into different versions for all OSes. The more OSes other than Windows we have the more companies will want this. I think Unity game engine already does this where it gives you a Linux, Mac, and Windows executable by default.

But it being closed source makes sense for its usecase too. The Chinese Government want this to be used in government there, just like Windows is in the US, and so they want the code locked down.

If I had to choose what OS to use my order of which ones I’d prefer probably goes:

GNU/Linux

FreeBSD

HarmonyOS

MacOS

Windows

I think the most important thing is that people realize Huawei is not making some Linux distro. They’re not a small or medium sized company. They’re a peer to Apple and Microsoft. An absolute behemoth that can support their own entirely in house software stack+ hardware ecosystem. That’s the real story here.

Probably. I dont feel the need for a word for it tho. It’s not something I think about much. I just do whatever I feel like doing. I hear people talk about things like dysphoria and it just doesn’t compute to me. I’ve never been shot but I can imagine what being shot would be like, right? I can’t imagine what dysphoria would be like. If I imagine myself as the opposite biological sex its just like a logistical challenge. How do I use the bathroom. I need different hygeine products. Stuff like that. It doesn’t bother me.

Honestly i’d just get a renewed pixel 8

On the bright side they were already looking for a new job. Since they definitely don’t have that old one anymore lol.

You could get a framework 13 mainboard for this much and use it for the same fucking purpose but it would have way more functionality.
