Interesting. In the latest Amp Hour Podcast Episode about RPi, Chris Gammell asked about the ARM-Connection and if there are any ideas about going the RISC way one day. James Adams and Liam Fraser answered very diplomatic (like "good Architecture, exciting, but we know arm and their benefits too well"). I guess there is now no open path anymore for RPi ever going down that road.

What is my proposed solution to the nuclear bomb threat? The middle east conflict? The inequality of rich vs. poor? What do you expect from me? That I write a 5 liner about NK being a proxy of china and then also in 5 additional lines solve that problem? You know, things are complex and I am sure if you give me 10.000 pages, 24 Month and 30 experts with each 10 connections to three letter agencies of 10 different countries, there might be some ways to get something that could be defined as a "way" or "solution" but we are talking about global politics. To just define the player and their positions in this game is too complex for a simple Lemmy post. Let alone the 20 year plan for a "solution". I advice you to read on this topic of publications from the last 30 years. Then you can skip the part about the positions of players in the game and might find that its a equation of a conflict between democratic vs. authoritarian that will play out in the next 30-60 years. The last try by the west to open up china to more democracy by opening the markets did not worked out. Chinese citizen were allowed to open companies and bring goods to western markets while westerns were not able to own companies in china. China pulled up the great firewall, increased surveillance, exporting that surveillance tech to other despots and dictators, tracking citizens even in other countries to suppress their words against that regime in china and is cracking down on freedoms in general even more since Xi got into power. So now the west is looking for another "solution" for the authoritarian threat looming over the world.

I agree only half way. Of course they still have shells from the soviet times that they now gladly provide back to russia. Point taken. But NK is also building "modern" military equipment à la carte. The Documentary "The Mole" showed very well how they do it and what they sell. I do not think that russia only gonna buy the oldest shell that NK has in their depots, but also will equip themself with a bit more modern technology that NK builds in 3rd world countries under the disguise of front operations. The assumption that russia is only going to buy their oldest stock and not a single modern weapon that NK has to build (and use tech from china) is just absurd.

And where is NK getting that material/technology from? NK is building rockets and military equipment since decades in numbers and quality that there is no doubt that chinas hand is in there and using it as a proxy to militarize authorian regimes at will, without getting their own hands dirty. China itself can not send weapons to ukraine without mudding their global stance. But that one weird uncle in the north is perfect as an outlet for military equipment to arm the scum of the earth.

It is funny that the Apple Presentation in the teaser image is following the color scheme of Fortnite Weapons with Uncommon (Green), Rare(Blue), Epic (Purple) leaving out the last category Legendary (Gold)

I got tired just thinking about a response to people like that.

I use Manjaro and based on the downvotes I received when mentioning it around here, I can assure that you are excused and you can give me this crown.

While true it was their actual flash, based on install basis and history, silverlight was a blimp on MS history. While flash died slowly off after 2008 as html5 gained ground and plugins fell out of favor (anyone remember java applets?), MS decided to launch their own Plugin into a world that already turned away from this technologies. Classic MS.

The comparison that VBS is like MS JS is a bit wonky, as JS is breathing and alive, while VBS is not. You also never encounter VBS on a website.

It is their own Adobe Flash and it’s good that it is faded out. Too obscure in modern times, too many security flaws. Only warm nostalgic memories will remain in 10 years.

You can use a seedbox and are fine without VPN

This is such an underreported topic. The wealthy are able to get organs in a very short time and do not ask where they come from. They are getting told that there are ways to get up the donor list by giving money, while the reality is that people getting organ harvested too bypass the donor list. I’m China a organ transplant can be done in 3 weeks while in the west it can take 3-6 month to find a donor. Meanwhile china does not have a voluntarily good-will donor system and the acceptance in the society to freely donate organs after the death is much lower (near zero) than in the west, yet they still seem to have a endless supply of quickly available organs at will for anyone that can afford it. This is extremely suspicious and already raised alarms in the UN:

Ah, thats good to know. I also saw a blog post for a way to use it without the App by using a modded App APK on Android were you can extract the auth-Key... but that was way to complicated. I wish there were an open standard for digital watches to enable sync of data with the OS of choice without going through a proprietary app. I will look into the RPI Solution. Thanks.
