How can a president in a democratic country order a dam opening, and this is left unchallenged by knowledgeable experts affected by the dam and stake holders? There seems a deep flaw in the system when it comes to the singular power of the US-president?

To quote the article:

a Type-B that seems to have a proprietary connector and a Type-C that is compatible with the USB-C standard.

So its half proprietary. No thanks!

okay. So please. Stop using X. Use Mastodon or other Fediverse alternatives, even if your reach is smaller there?

noo we need yet another standard!

can we acknowledge how insane these things are in combination:

• the worlds richest man
• buys a large social media platform X, where most political conversations take place
• supports a presidential candidate with millions of dollars
• candidate gets elected
• starts doing a Hitler salute
• starts posting Nazi Names in a joking/meme manner

This is Keyne West story all over again, but with more money and more power & influence.

for those who do not get it, this is a reference to the ideal gas law pV = nRT the fact that at constant pressure and temperature the same number of gas molecules (ideal gas) will take the same Volume.

it is a honey pot

I think France is in the best position to lead in these new tariff times, as they retained more economic and strategic independence compared to for example Germany. Time to learn french.

tensions flare over new US tariffs, French President Emmanuel Macron has urged companies to freeze US investments

the "urge" is just the first step I guess?

• use smaller instances besides lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, this will increase decentralization
• donate to your instance hosts and important devs in the field
• be active and post high value content

We are witnessing history in the making, people! Keep documenting and writing it down, like the ancient greek historians. The US has radically changed under the new president Trump 2024 -> 2025 and we will need to study the effects on our world and global economy closely. Historic times indeed.

easy to be neutral when you are surrounded by only NATO countries haha

They leech from original fediverse content without credit. Time for meta to donate to non-profit fediverse instances.

Scraped instances include

• lemmy.ca
• lemmy.ml
• lemmy.world

As safeguards age, they should have become harder to remove. But these are pretty young.

Tariffs on Canada are still up, I assume? On steel, aluminum, and car factories? A war with Canada becomes more likely as the nations attempt to decouple. Meanwhile Canada attempts to strengthen its pipeline infrastructure to export oil to its coasts, and not to its land borders in the south.

Expectation: 🐯

Reality: 🥴

Delete it

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

This is the cycle of live 🔁. New instances are born, while old shut down. Goodbye lemm.ee 🫡

Which instances are referenced in this image btw?

Duel of the fates: \//\

I can construct a weird true statement from this: All continents besides Antarctica are located North of the South-Pole.

somone needs to replace gnome with windows 11 in that meme lmao.
