People outside the US, do you still consider America a democracy?
  • For a long while I thought America was a democracy but that the population was rather uneducated. Their media and culture seemed to glorify ignorance and shame intellectualism.

    I now consider America a fascist state, early stages. I've seen too many simulations to know that the level of organized resistance required to prevent the descent into fascism is either too morally grey or too risky to be worth it. It must get much worse before resistance is meaningful.

    At best an American is a victim, at worst they are a fascist.

  • Asahi Lina: For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.
  • Ah thanks for the summary.

    Still, very odd to buy expensive hardware that is required for running macOS due to their use license just to run Linux on it. Maybe if you bought it first and then wanted to move away from it, but that seems like a big headache.

    Another reason to be wary of Apple then.

  • Is 33 cents a small amount of money?
  • If you ever wanted proof that a population that doesn't understand math allows the billionaires to take advantage of them here it is. This is why education systems are under attack, because if you understood how taxes work you'd more likely support higher tax rates for the rich.

  • Is it "rude" to eat while walking?
  • It's generally considered rude partly because of the possibly of food falling onto the ground, and also because it would incentivise the person to just drop the garbage after they're done eating whatever as is often the case in America and Canada.

    When food carts are set up they generally have garbage collection nearby of some sort. That said staying in one place and eating is approved of more. If you're a foreigner you will get looks but a free pass in the sense of "ah we can't expect a foreigner to ever understand our culture and expectations" which is a pitying position from what I've experienced here.
