  • Let’s add some depth here though. Taiwan/ROC (the country with the demcratic government) produces a majority f the high complexity computer chips, but China/PRC (the Unitary Communist country) produces the majority of low complexity chips, and does not produce any sgnficant quantity oh high complexity chips.

    That said, as the Americans trued to squeeze the PRC on the chips topc, they have moved to being much more self-sustained on chips, and im the near future will not be iverly impacted if ROC chip production goes haywire. The PRC have made it their strategc goal to no longer be bullied on Petroleum, nor Technology, and are dumping money into operations to support that strategy.

    When the PRC sees the right circumstances they will assume control of the ROC islands, regardless of TSMC self-destructs.




  • It’s not lemmy.ml as a source, but rather a symptom.

    I see two things going on:

    1. A general fall in trust in democratic institutions, as those institutions fail to represent people adequately;
    2. A clear realization of global injustice perpetuated by democratc countries against the will of people.

    There aren’t many that that think that Iran’s goverment is good for Iranian people, but they do see that they are defending their civilization. This umderstanding requires that the observer is able to maintain two observations at the same time, instead of requoring complete black & white intepretations.








  • We should note that it is super easy to extend a bootc release, and use dnf to install additional packages. It is a docker/podman contanerfile of a few lines.

    I have a github repo that adds virtmanager and ghostty to the excellent zirconium release, rebuilds ever day - and then uupd pulls the update every day.

    The atomics are not meant to limit you, they are meant to free you to get what you want, usng simple oci tools.

    Another great thing is being able to swap distros with simple commands. I installed bluefin, then swapped to zircnium to get niri and dms.
