nivenkos,

Sweden has devalued the currency massively (over 20% since 2020) - so it makes for cheap foreign investment.

nivenkos,

Spotify Connect usually works really well, I can use it on Linux, it’s relatively cheap.

I don’t see any reason to switch tbh.

nivenkos,

Have used maybe 2 cheques, bought a condo share but a house is a whole other matter. That said I don’t think it’s impossible, the main issue is just stability, if I had a partner who earnt as much then it would still be tough but not impossible.

But you can absolutely own your residence OP - just look for smaller places, in cheaper areas, and jobs that would offer a good salary : cost of living ratio. You’ll probably have to start with a condo in a HOA, etc. but that’s better than renting.

nivenkos,

This is the new luddite movement.

It really is. Degrowth is destitution and death - just look at Germany.

We need to decouple electricity production from environmental damage - build renewable power and nuclear power station en masse and invest heavily in nuclear fusion.

nivenkos,

But how would they know? It’s like Blade Runner.

nivenkos,

But the lump of labour fallacy is wrong - in the end automation makes us all wealthier as goods become cheaper, and people can do more productive work (and be better educated for it too).

nivenkos,

The real issue there is that electricity should be carbon-free with nuclear and renewable power.

nivenkos,

This is incredible, it feels like parts of the USA are so advanced.

Here in Sweden we’re going backwards, they even took out self-scanning at a lot of supermarkets due to theft.

nivenkos,

Kerbal Space Program, Shadow Empire and Baldur’s Gate 3.

nivenkos,

I remember being like that with Morrowind.

nivenkos,

Wtf is a “professional communicator”? How do you think you get there?

They just needed someone who wasn’t really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch’s interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.

nivenkos,

The whole thing reeked of propaganda intended to make the left look stupid

Got some bad news for you…

nivenkos,

It’s sad, this could eventually be automated.

Now people have to waste their lives just manning checkouts.

nivenkos,

They should be able to get free education and training.

But more automation is always a good thing - more productivity and freedom.

nivenkos,

What were they being arrested for though?

nivenkos,

Same, I thought it was an April Fools’ joke at first.

nivenkos,

may have targeted the brains of US diplomats with “directed energy” weapons

Some evidence would be nice… extraordinary claims.

nivenkos,

How many refugees are you currently putting up in your home?

Polish PM Donald Tusk warns that "literally any scenario is possible" and that Europe entered the pre-war era when Russia invaded Ukraine (www.dw.com)

“War is no longer a concept from the past. It is real, and it started over two years ago. The most worrying thing at the moment is that literally any scenario is possible. We haven’t seen a situation like this since 1945,” Tusk said in an interview with the European media grouping LENA on Friday....

nivenkos, (edited )

Europe has donated around ~$150 billion USD (including from member states). That’s almost an entire year’s EU budget, over 20x the ESA’s annual budget (wtf), and over 20x the EU’s 6-year contribution to ITER (double wtf).

The money comes from somewhere and Europe is broke.

The US needs to stop shirking their duty, and send the military in. They are making an absolute fortune off LNG and weapons exports, they should take the responsibility to help.

EDIT: Also rich for Poland to complain about this when they are the biggest leech of EU funds in the Union. It’s absurd that there are only ~9 net contributors to begin with.

nivenkos,

That 19 trillion isn’t spendable money at all though. Learn the difference between GDP and a budget.

We’re already at high inflation, high interest rates and little to no growth - the situation is extremely precarious in Europe. We could easily end up like Argentina or Turkey.

nivenkos,

GDP isn’t state-owned - we aren’t a Communist state (thankfully) - and any attempt to get close to that would destroy the GDP.

nivenkos,

The issue is the physics. 60Hz doesn’t give you much time to do everything that needs to be calculated in the interval. All the objects can interact with one another so it’s not easily independent and parallelisable.

There’s still optimisations that can be made - disable physics and have only certain actions enable them for nearby objects, smaller physics range, fewer physics-enabled objects, etc. - but those all have drawbacks for the gameplay and realism too.

nivenkos,

Your first article just shows the EU growing at 1% and the US growing above 2%

This means that the gap between our economies is growing. And a lot of countries are in recession (or bouncing in and out) - like Sweden, Germany and the UK.

Median wealth and income are arguably worse:

Income: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_average_w…

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)…

Wealth inequality: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_sovereign_states_by_we…

Sweden is far worse than the US for example - with much higher wealth inequality and much lower median purchasing power.

I don’t think you can find a single area where the EU is performing better economically.

nivenkos,

A 33% difference isn’t exactly “very close”.
