Hey, what's the difference between male and female pokemon :think:

The polarization of the world, or what the Chinese hairy bear calls the "bipolar world", is absurd. A product of the mind of an imperialist with an obsolete mindset stuck in the XIX and the XX centuries.

Simply put, the west and Asia are bound to coexist together. It's a fact that countries like Russia or China depend on the West just as much as the West (US, Europe) depends on Asia. China has a shit lot of trade deals with the west and the west has a lot of factories in China. Same with Rusia. Countries like India or Thailand also have a lot of trades with both the BRICS and the Western countries, specially the EU.

And let's not forget Africa and the middle orient countries. For example, Spain imports a lot of gas from Argelia after the Russian sanctions and has trades with Morocco as well.

I understand if these countries don't want to develop a dependency on the west, but the reality is that every country depends on the other countries just as much. Polarizing and dividing the world is an error that is going to cost the world a lot and it's going to cause a severe recession. And it's all because people prefers to play "conquerors" instead of doing an actual analysis on the situation they are in. This isn't the XX century, nor the medieval era anymore.

And I can rant for hours on how the West is doing the exact same thing as well. Removing Russian people from the Linux kernel because of their stupid war? Also stopping any collaboration with Russia in the ISS and other research areas? More like trying to bring back the cold war, isn't it? The West is pushing the same agenda. And of course it's going to cost us.

Don't get me wrong. I'm pissed at Russia right now because of their stupid war. And I'm more pissed at the fact that a lot of people in Russia endorses that stupid war and nobody does much to stop their government. You could argue that they are scared, but the reality is that if it was a majority, there would have been a strong revolt. It's not like it didn't happen in the past, but from the opposite part.

But removing people who actually contribute for the common good is simply wrong. We should actually allow that to show the world that together, we are much stronger than divided into a "bipolar world". Which is exactly what the dinosaurs that govern us fear the most. That's the only way to stop all wars, if people understands once and for all that the only way we are going to advance as a civilization is if we stop endorsing flags and political ideals and embrace common good.

I'm so tired of American centrism. Like yesterday every news channel in Europe was talking about the presidential debate, as if it concerned us. I told my dad "it looks like we're living in America", and my dad was "at this rate they are going to make us vote for them".

@yakumo_izuru@misskey.m544.net I said I wish I could. Not that I can.

It took a while but I think I got wine 9.14 working on Mint. For some reason some of the packages in the repositories are stuck in the jurassic so it has Wine version 6 from 2021.

Building it was a nightmare. Well, not building it but rather getting all the dependencies for it. Aptitude is a bitch though. I fucking hate aptitude. I wish I could get zypper to work on Mint.

You know why people doesn't have fun with videogames anymore? It's because they spend more time bitching about FPSs and performance and raytracing, than playing actual games. That and because everything is competitive nowadays. And ultramonetized and engineered to make you waste money.

Videogames 20-30 years earlier weren't better. It's just that we weren't whiny about minor details like we are now. "Oh noes! I lost 2 FPS in my ultracompetitive first person shooter! Now I'm not going to be able to reach top 10 on the leaderboard!" Bruh... we played Goldeneye at 20 FPS and still got good at it. Y'all just pussies.

Why worrying about CrowdStrike when 13th and 14th gen Intel chips, which is what the majority of the consumer market uses, are failing at a concerning rate?

The general feeling I get is that people actually doesn't care about AI, doesn't care about privacy, and will make a Microsoft account if required. They want something that works and they don't want to have to worry about technical stuff at all. In fact if I have to guess, they use a computer because they are forced to and not because they want to. If they want to browse the internet or do anything, they'll use their phone.

Microsoft knows this and they are taking actions knowing that no matter what they do, they will win. And yes, you see a lot of people now making videos and rising awareness in social media, but the reality is this people represents only a 1 or 2% of the market share, at most. The rest don't care.

Also from that 1 or 2%, some will try to switch to Linux, but the majority will go back to Windows as soon as they face any technical issue that can't be solved within 5 minutes at best.

No, it's not the year of the Linux desktop. And it will never be. But you know what? That's ok. We don't need Linux to rule the average consumer market.

There is a Chaotic-AUR???

@iro_miya While it's true that you can implement sums using a for loop, it can be optimized using basic summation identities. More specifically

\displaystyle{\sum^k_{n=0}3n = 3\sum^k_{n=0}n = 3\left(\sum^{k-1}_{n=0}n + k\right) = 3\left(\frac{k(k-1)}{2}+k\right)}

Where k \in \mathbb{Z}⁺, k > 0. So you can simply use this generic formula and save yourself a for loop.

The same can be applied to the multiplication as well, although in this case how much computational cost you save will depend on how the machine calculates the factorial.

\displaystyle{\prod^k_{n=1}2n = 2\prod^k_{n=1}n = 2(k!)}
