the state doesn't care anymore

America has gone full nazi at this point,

  • you have the SS, i mean ICE police
  • you have Auschwitz camp in another country, I mean el Salvador
  • courts have no power anymore, supreme court works for trump
  • congress is in on it
  • the richest guy in the world is making nazi salutes

what else is there ? They will even make a deal with russia to divide ukraine, just like stalin and hitler did with poland.

Tesla Stock Price Reaches 'Death Cross' Status

Reply in thread

it's just a moving average cross. 50 day MA moves below 200 MA, that's it. Can be a bearish sign but I've seen it bounce in this moment a bunch of times.

But technical analsyis is just drawing imaginary lines on a chart, they know nothing about how stupid Trump and Musk are so it might very well be bearish. At least I hope so. I want to see him get margin called at 114$ or so they say.

To make America great, Donald Trump is undoing its greatness as global stock markets fall

Reply in thread

Hot damn, i am also not an economist, I had to read that article 3 times just to grasps what Yanis is trying to say.

So in essence, when Trump and Musk said, brace for recession, it will have to be bad before it gets good, this article confirms it.

Trump wants to devalue the dollar to boost exports and thus strengthen the domestic production?

This i don't understand though:

This is what his critics do not understand. They mistakenly think that he thinks that his tariffs will reduce America’s trade deficit on their own. He knows they will not. Their utility comes from their capacity to shock foreign central bankers into reducing domestic interest rates. Consequently, the euro, the yen and the renminbi will soften relative to the dollar. This will cancel out the price hikes of goods imported into the US, and leave the prices American consumers pay unaffected. The tariffed countries will be in effect paying for Trump’s tariffs.

So foreign currencies will also soften relative to the dollar? How can all currencies devalue at the same time? Is he trying to create world wide recession ?

If someone could ELI5 for us, that'd be great.

Another thing I'd like to mention, I respect Yanis a lot but Trump has never given us any indication he indeed thinks and understands economics on this level. Maybe he treats us all as dumbasses and dumbs it down for us but the truth is, he has never spoken in terms that would indicate he understands economy at this level. So he's either getting muppetered by others or Yanis is giving him too much credit.

Top post of Reddit. We are gonna see large influx of users.

Facts, it's already happening when most of the perfectly fine comments are collapsed in any interesting topic. Like yesterday when twitter was down. Every comment under the top level memes were collapsed so you have to click the + in front of it and get bored quickly and just give up. Same today with Musk post about being all weird about his empire.

nothing to see here move along type of thing

6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Reply in thread

that's also my excuse, but then again, i don't even game that much. and i'm on rtx 3070 which will be getting too old soon for new games and new GPUs are just too expensive.

And god i hate w11. i mean it's not that different than w10 but things just don't work!

my logitech mouse stutters for no fucking reason, 10 year old games lag for no fucking reason. the whole windows lags after being waken up from sleep after a few days, i could go on and on. none of these problems existed on w10.

how is pixel with graphene os ? does it completely remove all google spyware shit? or do they have some sort of hardware backdoor?

the reason I ask is because i have a motorola right now and it pisses me off immensely ... there is this notification they keep pushing, "Activate Live Lock screen" which i don't even know what it is, some background pictures crap. I uninstalled this app, but the notification remains. Like it's not there always but keeps coming back every few days. this has been going on for months and i got so pissed i decided to contact support and complain there. they said, something along the lines of, we can connect remotely and do it for you. ( like disable, but they can't disable because i went through every option on the phone, it cannot be disabled, it's just bloatware) but their "we can do it for you remotely" got me thinking, backdoors, backdoors everywhere.

now i want a new phone lol and one that can support a custom firmware but installing custom firmwares on pretty much all phones is a nightmare.

but i also hate buying anything google, hence my question.

thanks, this sounds great. i've installed a few custom firmwares but like a decade ago and i wanted to install one on my motorola recently and was just perplexed at the complexity of it all, i might be getting old. i mean i can follow instructions, but just so many things can go wrong, don't do this, softbrick, don't do that, hardbrick ... honestly, the instructions were well written but unorganized a bit, just put me off.

i think i might like GOS tho, sounds great and 2nd hand pixel 8 or so are cheap enough so i'll probably give it a go.
