Thank you, that makes everything more clear. Please lead with that next time.

At this point, IDK if you’re just trolling. But in case you’re not:

The post shows a map, on which countries that shipped mines to IKEA are colored in red, specifically Poland. But the map is cropped, and as the result New Zealand (it’s a country that is too the east of Australia) cropped out and not visible.

The joke implies that New Zealand could also have shipped mines to IKEA. Since it’s hypothetically possible that New Zealand is also colored red (like Poland), due to it being cropped out (not visible on the map), we can’t be sure that it didn’t ship mines to IKEA.

New Zealand could also be in red, but since it’s cropped out we can’t know for sure.

DuckDuckGo has a browser? Or did they mean “search engine”?

I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”

To be fair, I have already failed to properly recycle an item or two, as well.

Ok, so you confirm that I’m not mistaken and you can’t currently have a single module 16TB SSD? AFAIK, even 8TB is pushing it.

And I treat it as a single module in the comic because it says “16TB SSD” singular, as opposed to something like “16TB worth of SSDs”.

And if you think that is going to stop me from nitpicking, you’re sorely mistaken! 😤

It stood out to me because the rest of the specs are realistic-ish (if we consider that to be 32GB of RAM).

I don’t think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.

It’s not about strictly “owning”, it’s about controlling. Control can be achieved in many different ways, including, but not limited to regulations. Socialism is an economic system, of which you can implements certain parts.
I didn’t say “social policies”. Socialist policies are a more specific subset of social policies, so all socialist policies are social policies, but not all social policies are socialist.
Regarding the European countries’ degree of being socialist, it of course depends on the country. But on average, you might be right, and perhaps using “equally” was an exaggeration.

Lots of people on Lemmy forget that the choice between Capitalism and Socialism isn’t binary. Country picks individual policies that are capitalist or socialist in nature. All of the modern countries are a combination of both. Even USA has certain socialist policies. Most of Europe is roughly equally capitalist and socialist.
It’s just making a character build and picking perks. Capitalist policies aren’t bad (for the general public) by default. Depending on how and which ones are implemented, they can be beneficial to everybody.

Yeah, with exception of Polish, which used Latin from the start, Czech and Slovak briefly used Glagolitic alphabet, which is much closer to Greek alphabet and basically the precursor to Cyrillic. I should’ve been more specific.
Some Slavic languages did switch directly from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet though. And some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic to this day (although in process of switching to Latin).

Not all, some have switched to Latin, like Polish, Czech, Slovak, to name a few.

And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don’t really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.

It still might be, don’t give up hope!

Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

Dang, that labtop is so old it has a dialup modem built-in.

He never said that asking nicely is out of the question.
