Coming from my perspective a little. Iran is a part of BRICS now and Lula has defended Iran in latest interviews. Let’s see how things develop and if Iran representatives will come to Rio (for the BRICS Summit). This is troubling.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but maybe the Executive has too much power. Power needs to be more decentralized. Will policies that make sense come out of this? I’m no political scientist, but this amount of power isn’t good.

I personally find weird the read on web mechanism.

I’ve just finished reading “A Hacker Manifesto” by McKenzie Wark. I recommend that as well.

Because it deepens the rift. Donald Trump as president also helps Putin a lot, as the russian president have said before, since Trump also wants to shake things up. As could be seen by his tariff policies.

Russia has been cut out from the West, it couldn’t even participate in the Olympics. So it got closer to China. Its economy is resilient despite the war. Russia has also been the leading country in the BRICS in regard to finding an alternative to the dollar together with Brazil. And it is working to ditch SWIFT (the banking system). So I’d say Russia is pretty interested into getting away from the West, at least economically and politically.

If I had to guess (my knowledge is a couple of geopolitics books), I’d say Russia wants to create a rift between East and West that is beneficial to China as well. China helped Russia build a quantum computer recently and there are more clues that they’re getting even closer together. I think Russia wants to shake the current world order.

The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

I completely get that someone used to monopolies can’t understand Mastodon. I don’t think it has anything to do with understanding technology, though.

Are people negative and rude or not expressed passion towards anything?

Also, I think there is a good passion for tech surrounding this community. I like that.

#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.
