He won't and they factored that in the decision. If you apply Pascal's Wager to state institutions, fascists always win if they manage to weaken the democratic safe guards, exactly because no one will go after them, but the minute they get the power they will go after everyone else.
But the US prides itself on being the poster child of capitalist dystopias, China likes to pretend it's a socialist country.
The US government spends more on healthcare in terms of GPD than any other OECD country and has nothing to show for it. That's how ridiculous it is.

Are you really comparing the use of freedom of association with state censorship backed by literal violence?

An unspecified technical problem forced the Rio-bound Boeing aircraft to turn back shortly after takeoff from Amsterdam. A spokesperson for Dutch air traffic control said the plane requested to land as a precaution and turned around over Belgium some 40 minutes after takeoff.
There's a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let's be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it's a good vehicle for any purpose.
Well gridiron players already stop every 15 seconds for commercial breaks so they don't need to do anything to avoid playing.
If you read it out loud it sounds like "yes, we see ya"
Do you understand what "comparing" means?
In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that's only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth's inner core.
That's the current status quo. New legislation can always override old legislation. The only way to fully prevent these proposals would be to enshrine the right to encryption in a new EU treaty (which requires unanimity) and since the national governments are the ones pushing for this while the European Parliament keeps telling to fuck off, it's not going to happen.
It's not the first time it happens. Everyone has reporters writing and updating old celebrities' obituaries on their down time because then they can publish a more complete and higher quality article when the inevitable happens. The problem is when someone fires the pre-written obituary because of some rumour or bad source and then everyone else does the same because no one wants to be the last one to report the news.
And there's also the part where none of their candidates were vetted by anyone because they outsourced the process.
Like everyone using an advertisement company's browser engine?
The performance sounds kind of low for a laptop. Tied with the normal issues of a less popular architecture, I doubt this is anywhere near being able to be a daily driver.
Let's ask the Czechs what they think about the idea that giving away part of your territories to an aggressive imperialistic power is a road to peace and independence.
BS. Type F/Schuko is the USB-C of power sockets/plugs.
In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.

SpaceX's Starlink satellites are emanating low-frequency waves from their onboard electronics, messing with astronomical equipment.
![SpaceX Satellites Are Ruining Observations With "Unintended" Radiation](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/PyZbedvyNP.jpg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting "unintended" radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.
These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That's because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush reportedly used expired carbon fiber that was "past its shelf life" to build the doomed Titan submersible.
![OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub](https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/a2a2f8e4-dedd-49dc-8931-75637420f5ef.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate's submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible's tragic demise.
