Well it's not black and white. Sometimes doing the right thing even if you have ulterior motives is better than doing nothing. Africa is tricky due to historical reasons, though. Any western power that would intervene there without the

That's very hard to answer considering Iraq spent most of the 80s in a very costly and extremely brutal (and even more pointless) war with Iraq.

So there are no circumstances where armed rebellion is justifiable and the only legitimate type of resistance to state violence is literally trying to drown the state forces in bodies of non-violent protestors? At a certain point there ceas

It can but I don't think it is. I can't find direct stats (I mean I can find nominal but not equivalized/ social transfer adjusted figures) to compare but e.g. 1st quantile income cut-off in Sweden is 64% of the median while

You mean legally mandating all electronics stores to stock computers with Linux installed regardless if there is demand for that or not? Because how else exactly could this work?

by Wytwwww 2y ago
Perhaps. But I don't think that's the public consensus. So it's hard to accept such arguments without any evidence. AFAIK in Europe most food safety regulation is coming from the EU directly and not the national governments.

At least the Scots and Welsh still exist (e.g. unlike the Occitan people or the Bretons) and were actually allowed to have a referendum (unlike the Catalans).

IMHO it might be the complete opposite. Margins are low and and off the shelf ARM designs are very cheap so what's the point of making very risky investments when you can already get good enough off the shelf designs from ARM? If the l

Who actually has fast core (>=50% of Apple M series) that they could just slap RISC-V on, though? ARM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm? IIRC the Switch 2 chip is going to use Cortex so even Nvidia can't be bothered to design their own CPU core
