All the great war crimes you love, now with half the calories!
I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/
I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.
If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?
That’s what I thought!
Okay troll, what do YOU think masculinity should look like?
I think the author is saying more like: “A positive, specific masculinity may not exist at all”
Both are enthusiastic slavers…
Rebecca Watson is a longtime Poster going back to the blog days. Her feminism and sardonic wit has sent many a “nice guy” into fits of rage
Stay shanty, Lemmy
“Performance talent doesn’t exist, also: Ayn Rand”
Who is “we” and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?
Well probably because:
You can tell this comm prioritizes high quality by the word “shit” in the name
I thought the same thing for what it’s worth
True but homicide / suicide yes
It looks like this is the closest thing to what you are looking for.
This is the way. All your threads are belong.
I did a little research. It doesn’t look like the scale of these efforts are large enough to show up in the graphs yet.
In other words, I think we are in the “hype” part of the adoption cycle of “dedolarization” - announcements and partnerships and symbolic gestures, but the hard work of actually accomplishing the change still lies ahead.
So…the US dollar is the world’s “reserve currency”. Most international trade is actually conducted in USD, and central banks have to hold billions of USD in reserve as part of their basic operations.
This gives the US two massive geopolitical advantages:
Because central banks like to hold their reserves in US Treasury bonds (which are considered safe but also pay interest) it artificially lowers the interest rate on those bonds. It’s estimated this saves the US hundreds of billions of dollars annually in borrowing costs.
Unless you want to use literal truckloads of cash, the only way to obtain and hold USD is through the global dollar-denominated banking system, which itself MUST comply with US sanctions. In practice this means that the US can “sanction” individuals, companies and countries - and thus nearly freeze them out of global trade and finance.
I think it’s best to see BRICS as a direct response to that reality. The more these countries trade with each other in their own currencies, the more they weaken “dollar supremacy”.
Over time, (20 years?) I personally would predict that the effectiveness of the US sanctions will degrade to the point of irrelevance. You can already see this (IMO) in the “chip wars” and Huawei’s “escape”. I think the proportion of global trade denominated in dollars will steadily decline, and borrowing costs will start to normalize to the rest of the world, and possibly spike.
I think this has everything to do with the “Kenya-led intervention” US imperialists are trying to create in Hati
