Only to certain extent, though, we didn’t do real steps (excluding Eurovision boycott) - i.e. our universities are still cooperating with Israeli counterparts (even those involved in war industry), Israelis representatives were never summoned etc., but we were always very concerned 🤷. But you are right, it’s more surprising that they caved, even based on this stance. So a lot of people wonders what was the real reason behind it. It was certainly something at government, not party, level.

This is merely a speculation, the real reason is not known as the “we are so much against genocide” central left won’t tell. Ironically, far right, which is very much pro genocide (and almost won the elections), is accusing them for caving to Israel because assumingly Israel blackmailed them with something.

As an EU citizen I’d say this should be a wakeup call to push for an alternative and open OS.

They should also port it to RISC-V and ARM to test cross platform aspect.

Yep, it’s just wishful thinking. One day, one day…

They are welcome on federated social media.

TBH that happens when there is enough RAM available. I’d be surprised if the usage didn’t get go down under memory pressure.

Not in absolute terms :)

Not so smart afterall, eh?

Stupid Chinese instead of going with Hyperloop. /s

Yeah, but they tend to simply copy macOS/iOS. Just a note that there are plenty more of OS out there and windows managers, starting with Linux.

Asia is really into macOS GUI in general.

But still, China is going full power on renewables, eventually they will pull ahead there as well, unless west or others start investing in renewables seriously.

Indeed that paints a different picture as suggested.

Data should be per capita or another relative measure.

Sure, there is also Podman.

Quickly, delete your free docker installation before they sue you.

*If that happens and public knows it

Pushing even *more

Western tanks are built to protect the crew, while Soviet/Russian are built to advance regardless of anything without much consideration about crew safety (typical Soviet mentality). The turret throw is due to the shells being stored right under the crew, beneath the turret, and when those detonate (which is quite easy with modern anti tank weapons), everything is thrown magnificently into the air. Crew has no way to survive. It’s different with western tanks, where shells are stored more safely and such a hit usually doesn’t evaporate the crew.

They also throw their turrets much better when hit.

Let’s see, it’ll certainly be an interesting development in any scenario.

Interesting, but for the time being lets call it vaporware. It’ll be really interesting if they actually make it work.

In terms of cutting edge chip production they’re well behind - think lithography.

They have a looooong way ahead.

I think the ramifications of what Israel did will go far far beyond fear in non west countries. We entered the stage when you can’t trust your device anymore to not explode when some state (or non-state) actor would deem you disposable. Everybody should be concerned when they receive a phone call. If nothing else, it should change the way we fly - now security will annoy you with prohibiting bringing even water on airplane. What now? We should travel without any electronic device? Heck, even China didn’t go that far (west is banning their devices mostly for economic purposes even though they mimic them as ‘security’).

Just from outside you say?

Seems like Qualcomm is getting there. Latest generation is not bad, though battery usage seems still a not-so-brilliant (according to early reviews).

On the bright side, ARM is getting there, plus there is RISC-V that is rising as well, but it still has some road ahead.
