Nah patriotism is fine, its the ‘I want to make my country better’ attitude, nationalism is the ‘my country is already the best’ one.

TLDR?, The US is bankrupt or nearly bankrupt and Trump is trying to convince the rest of the world to foot the bill?

And now globalism is generally more good than bad, isolationism isn’t going to fix anything. Seems perfectly rational for left wing people to change their view when circumstances change.

Unfortunately only 48% of us ;-;

I’m not sure how it works in Switzerland but in the UK I believe the government is required to provide some legal settlement sites as a form of cultural preservation, many municipalities don’t of course which results in illegal settlements. I know a lot of people dislike travellers but the issue always seemed to be an artifical one and classic example of creating an issue in order to take advantage of the outrage.

The new owners recently shut down the old website and won’t accept my proof of purchase so I don’t even own the first game anymore :(

Also most british products kind of suck… (British person here)
That said I’m still up for avoiding american brands because its hard to talk about animal rights when you’re being mauled by a bear.

Its a shit system, really it just means the rails are privatly operated but they get to send a huge chunk of the maintenance bill to the taxpayer.

Honestly I think that isn’t an issue with any one platform so much as it is one of the biggest successes of the extreme right. By being obnoxiously loud, openly self contradictory and everywhere in the media the extreme right has succesfully portrayed themselves as being representative of the entire right wing. This leaves the moderate right isolated, less likely to co-operate with the centre or left on issues where they might agree, and more likely to embrace the extreme right.

TLDR: Firehose of falsehood works even better when it splashes on the guy next to you.

Japan has been gradually easing off on that for a while now and had a fairly substantial self defense force.

People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

Jumped to linux for a test on an old laptop, currently on windows on my main PC but got parts on the way for a new build that’s going to be Linux.

So a tariff is like punching the other guy but also punching yourself, only the US is doing that to a lot of people so all the other countries get hit a few times sure but the US is beating itself black and blue.

And the same person.

I mean I did complain on lemmy about how annoying it was a few times, its a shame too because this problem turned out to be super simple and potentially super common, it would just take a couple of lines being changed on the official setup guide to resolve it… actually come to think of it since its just renaming a file all it would take is having 2 copies of that file in the image with both names since only one is ever going to be used at a time anyway.

Mint Cinnamon. It turned out just to be switching the name of a file on the boot media but it took a long time to work through other issues to get there.

I finally switched to Linux, while Linux itself is just as easy to use as Windows, actually installing Linux can be a nightmare. When setup works properly its no harder than windows, the other 95% of the time its about chasing down an easily solved problem but you have to figure out which easily solved problem it is.

Iirc the dirty secret of rare earth metals is that every country has them in at least some capacity even if there’s variability in how easy to access those deposits are. The dirty part is that the countries that produce them less so have a particular abundance and more so have a lack of environmental regulations.

It can be under certain circumstances, its generally desireable for a country to be able to feed itself for example, and being able to produce products yourself is useful when negotiating trade agreements. The problem is when autarky becomes conflated with isolationism.

Doesn’t this scenario essentially cut off the US from advanced chip manufacturing? The chips are made in taiwan and the machines for making the chips are made in europe.
