Apologies. It was not my intention to discredit Americans individually

When one says “The US” it is often implicit that they mean “The American government”.

I also said “pressuring Italy”. Of course it means the Italian government, it’s not like each single individual is being pressured

The US is pressuring my country, Italy, to expel hundreds of medics from Cuba who hold together the entire healthcare system. Without them hospitals would collapse. The US wants people to die.

Why?

Books are made like this because it’s impossible to make them any other way, but a digital device can have just one “page” since you read one page at time like Kindles and Kobos

I don’t like the fact that it has two displays. It’s unnecessary and makes it thicker and heavier.

Russia is capitalist, fascist and an aggressor state, yet it’s loved by some communists. It makes no sense.

Not only that, but these two users post with the same pattern: 4-5 posts in a burst and then staying quiet.

I’m afraid that not using Gecko or Blink may expose me to any sort of malware while visiting the web tbh

They surely can. But if both Mozilla and Google are shit companies, one can just choose to use a browser based on the open source Chromium. As far as I know it performs better than Firefox

Mozilla is completely detached from its user base. They think their average user is a Microsoft enthusiast when in reality it’s a Debian enjoyer.

I don’t mind systemd

Thank you for your clarification, very informative

I understand but inflation is actually good for the debt of governments since there’s a surplus of money (they pay on the nominal value) so it’s unlikely they’d have to scrap personal gold in order to function.

Anyway that’s just my two cents and I may be totally wrong. I’m not an economist

I’m glad I’m not this guy

ETFs may be useless in case of a calamity (in that case I’d stash bullets and canned food, not gold) but they’re useful for hyperinflation scenarios because the financial system keeps working. See Turkey and Argentina

You can have liquid, premium-free gold by buying an ETF/ETC. Whether you hold it or not is irrelevant in case of hyperinflation. Stashing it away may be useful only if you like to touch it I guess

We really need FLOSS ebook readers

Palantir is an evil company.

My homelab made of scrap electronics from the previous decade has officially had less downtime ratio than AWS this year
