I believe they believe they will have "market share". They are fighting over who will get their letters in the next generation faang acronym.
I believe it says a lot about the concentration of wealth in today's world economy, that this financial arms race is even possible.

It's a figurative land grab. The train track boom and bust in the late 1800s was quite literally a land grab. Just find the parallels to be very grounding.

Also they don't want to be included in the actual physical fighting. Much rather suffer a few drone incursions than actually have to fight. So long as they increase their support to Ukraine after incursions, I'd say we're on net on a winning path. Sucks to be Ukraine, but that's true either way.

Everyone says they have refined taste and then they go out and gorge on slop. Everyone is blind to their own vices. "Nono it's other people who are trashy..."

I've tried two Arch based distros. Endeavour and Cachy. Both KDE flavored. Both great. Cachy had the edge for me though. Just felt a tad bit more polished.
Omarchy is a bit too keyboard first and minimal ui for my tastes. As a dev I feel very at home in KDE.

Germans need to learn from the Danish Social Democrats. Mette Frederiksen has been able to keep the far right out of power by being tough on immigration. It really is that simple.

He made a killing speaking hate and he died of hate. He went to jurassic park and got eaten by a t-rex. And how we're all living in the jurassic park doomsday scenario with far wing extremist t-rexes roaming the streets. Thank you Charlie Kirk!

I did a year and a half of a political science bachelor before realising that that meant I would have to work with that nonsense and changed to CS instead XD
Learning about the down stream effects of fptp was a real eye opener I remember. It kills consensus building and replaces with a race to 50%.

I know why. Everyone knows why. It's because of First Past The Post. Everything that's broken about the US compared to all other rich countries is because everything is black and white in America.

In Denmark homelessness is straight up illegal. You get put in jail if you sleep on the street. You then get put on a program to get you out of the situation and given housing.
The US has this strange ability to make every issue an either or. You cannot ever just solve each issue independently.

I understand the place is cursed. Your proposed solution is to shut people out of it. I propose you fix it with better public funding. I know, it's the silly Northern European solution to everything, and I'm not in ✨America✨.

I have no problem saying this out loud. Criminals tend to be poor, live in moms basement, and not afford cars. Why on earth would this be a weird thing to say?
