ANY minor, upon coming of age, should be able to demand the removal of ALL social media posts made about them by ANYONE. That includes posts which they themselves made.

I don't know in which country you live, but here I live, there is the freedom of speech as recorded in an apparently little-known law called ... The First Amendment.

As long as you're not libelous/slanderous/violating secret clearances or gag orders, you can post anything the F you want.

Meanwhile Canada has stopped purchasing US military equipment

I'm sure that they'll enjoy their Russian made gear.

EU is now moving a way from purchasing US military equipment.

They never bought anything to start with. The U.S. is stil the largest, financial contributor to NATO.

In 2024, the U.S. spent $2,239 per capita. Spain $366. Portugal $360. Source.

So who do we sell to now?

Don't worry, they'll come back after finding out that they are not able to build their own.

Much ignorance? Typical American attitude. Remember that every CPU in every product in Apple's current range, iPads, iPhones, Apple TV, Macbooks are all now using CPUs that use ARM architecture that was developed in the UK. The target acquisition system in the F35 Stealth Fighter is European. EutelSat has OpenWeb, a Starlink equivalent. I can go on and on and on.

Oh come one.

Apple can change that on a whim. But, let's say for argument's sake that all of a sudden, Apple would be somehow prohibited from using ARM. Do you have any idea what it will mean to the European economy if U.S. tech exports to the EU are stopped?

Intel, AMD, Microsoft. Facebook, Instagram, Google, Youtube. All those companies that they EU likes to tax (oh, I'm sorry, "fine" for some sort of made up violation) but are highly dependent on.

And let's not even try to get started on "but but but but the EU has smart people to". Yes, you do. And the smartest ones are all moving to the U.S. because they're taxed to death in Europe. I know hundreds, if not thousands.

Our network operations room has a debian 12 box with a pair of radeon cards that drives six 4k tv's and an ancient old 1080p monitor to display network graphs and video surveillance feeds. We run a different DPI on the 1080p one.

I don't recall it being hard to get running. The worst thing for us was figuring out the wacky KDE system of each permutation of monitors having it's own physical layout config. Drove us crazy as we got each additional TV connected.

There's always been a section of borderline mentally ill crazies on slashdot.

I wonder sometimes what sort of lives those guys ended up living from the mid 2000s that were posting the netcraft copypasta, enraged rants about open sores and Lunix etc.

Perhaps trolling a technical community was the least harmful thing they could have been doing with their unreleased anger.
