okay I will only torrent .txt ascii-encoded files then and open them in nano, this will make me totally secure.

… And open all other files I download in a sandboxed-environment

I think it is okay, when otherwise this would be just a bland text-only post, and the image is small/ not attention grabbing.

movies, music and pdfs/ebooks should be “okay” to pirate though, since they are more read than executable programs, right …

I call it Sauron3 …

he looks taunting, angry and cute at the same time 🖤

sorting for “old” reveals this 6 years old gem in this community

it looks … glossy

Complex shading, looks somehow photorealistic … I like your artstyle

Say you are a oil producer, and frack gas and oil in Texas, an industry that supported trump. Now imagine what tariffs on oil-imports from Canada means for your business: rising prices, since gas from Canada would be less competitive. Same with logging and wood products.

Who bought this debt (US treasury bonds)? Mostly China, Japan, North Americans and Europeans … So they depend on the system, the circle closes. The US is the biggest importer in the world, and the years since 1945 where used for exporter nations to optimize and streamline for the American costumer. Breaking away from that system would be painful.

And who will remove him from office if deemed incapable? Would he be replaced by his vice president JD Vance who supports his policies?

AI is the perfect tool to generate propaganda and fake-news on a massive scale for government and secret services. Humans may live in bubbles divorced from reality because of it. It also is the perfect technology for censorship, sentiment analysis/monitoring and thought-control automation.

Myanmar borders China in to its north and India to its west and is currently in a civil war. This would be the perfect battlespace for a proxy war between India, US vs China.

Demographics will play a major role in this: Younger median age countries will have more war and conflict, while the older countries can maintain some semblance of stability. South Sudan is a great example of this mechanism: This is why I also think this war will last 30 years, like the 30 years war in Germany 1618 that killed 50%+ of its populaiton.

During the first cold war conflicts happened outside of the super-powers:

• Vietnam 🇻🇳 and North-Korea 🇰🇵💥🇰🇷

This time conflicts will happen in Siberia, Africa and Middle east. I also think Indonesia and Pakistan will be center of major conflicts between China, India and the USA. These conflicts will costs some millions of lives, but not touch the empires heartlands, so it will not get nuclear again imo.

this is a silly drawing request https://sopuli.xyz/c/sillydrawingrequests

anyway here goes your duck, drawn in Krita:

Why?

In his mind size of territory is a measurement for the success of a civilization. And he views the U.S. as the greates civilization. He stated that in his inauguration speech. Access to the arctic circle controls trade routes, or this is what his advisors told him.

You can imagine different dystopian scenarios:

• Elon builds a colony on mars. Once one million people get there, it starves to death by technical accidents and is left to its fate.
• Chinese hyper empire emerges, from Tibetan Plateu and conquers a weakened Russia. Trump is okay with it, since he is focused on “domestic issues” like removing gay rights. Later China buys Trumps advisors.
• Trump conquest of Greenland, Canada and the arctic create a new American Hyper-Empire that expands into the weakened Russian heartland and Europe.

Or to keep the status quo:

• Europe conquers Russia, and shows Trump and Xi their place.

And Canada?

The 51st state

In his inaugeration trump literally mentioned he wants the US to grow in territory.

But the US has the most powerful military on the planet under president Trump? Power is useless if it is not used and guided well.

what would be a better name?

• lemming
• lemorian?

lemmy is okay
