Security? From who? Russia?

Godspeed remindme, hope you’re still up in 2028.

1548 RPM should be slow for a small GPU fan, no? My Nvidia 3090 behaves exactly the same, switching the fan on and off as it hovers around 60C or so.

Looks like it’s working fine to me.

Also, take linux GPU monitors with a grain of salt. It’s possible the GPU fan RPM measurement is totally borked, and it basically represents “on” or “off.” Check it with your eyes and ears instead, see if the fan is screaming or not. It shouldn’t be below 76C (as modern GPUs are configured to operate above 80C or so).

If you are talking about Europe, I’d check your own house and the growing far right parties.

And in social media comments, people are cheering Trump on, like we finally get to see the “real” Zelensky.

…I am so ashamed of my country. Even if it’s a minority, we’ve platformed this kind of thing and swallowed the hook.

Tesla is currently four times as big as Toyota by market capitalization.

…But that number is total BS, just gambler’s hype, it doesn’t actually represent how “big” a company is. Like, I’m more “pro investment” than most of Lemmy and subscribe to the Buffet ideology that stocks aren’t a total gamble, but Tesla’s stock price has been untethered from reality for years. The idea that they would somehow take over the entire auto market (as the price suggests) makes zero sense.

And people wonder why they sign up for Hamas…

Isn’t Trump’s whole stance anti immigration/emigration?

Fair.

Ukraine as a state is probably “gone” in a shitty deal though. One half is too restricted, indebted, and small to ever recover, the other half either a devastated vassal or (honestly more ideally) part of Russia. At least Afghanistan would ostensibly stay a state after whoever invaded it.

You’re right, I probably should be!

There’s just so much else going on! Are Trump/Musk like actually subverting the government and triggering a constitutional crisis? Is he actually gonna follow through with the crazier plans like strongarming Canada or colonizing Gaza? Are we getting pulled into a war? Will there be an economic crisis from some huge dysfunction? I am worried because Trump genuinely doesn’t seem to grasp a lot of things, especially foreign policy or technical matters, and worst case scenarios are pretty bad.

Like, if you told me, with certainty, there was a high probability of another 9/11 this month, I would freak out… But it wouldn’t even snuff out all those other stuff going on! It wouldn’t be like a Bush moment that defines his presidency and the era, it would just turn into a big controversial mess.

If it’s more like a unabomber attack or a smaller scale thing, honestly, it would blend into the stream of shock news. Trump would probably blame it on Democrats and politicize it, and everyone would take the bait. That sounds horrible, but it’s plausible.

Again, I’m an American, so don’t trust me, but…

I dunno? I could see Iran funding another assassination attempt (and I can hardly blame them if Trump goes through with the Gaza idea), and obviously there will be some holes in security agencies from firings, maybe a few local people who get pushed over the edge… but a terrorist attack seems low on our list of upcoming problems? Anti-terrorism efforts are still functioning, as far as I know.

What you might’ve seen in a lot of media is that pulling USAID and some other stuff will destabilize regions and turn some into terrorist breeding grounds, which could be true. The consquences of that may take some time to manifest though, maybe even past Trump’s term.

Americans, on average, are totally ignorant. Don’t believe what we say lol.

Europe could… come to the Fediverse!

And help host/contribute to it.

What ever happened to Bannon’s feud with Musk? He fell in line, I guess? Or just fell out of Trump’s sphere?

You have to understand, most Americans have no idea this is going on, or at least the extent. We live in an information dystopia.

Does that make us idiots? Yeah. But I think “disloyal” is the wrong word, and in fact many Americans are just overly loyal to the feeds and influencers warping their heads.

The bigger issue is most of the population isn’t aware of this.

This is one example of many, but people are still largely OK with Trump. America is stuck in filter bubbles like you wouldn’t believe, and it’s getting worse.

I… Don’t know how to fix that. I’d fuck up Facebook, Twitter, or cable news at any opportunity, but they rule people’s minds now.

I like how there’s not a horde of American’s definding America on Lemmy.

Even elsewhere, in more conservative forums, it seems more like trolling, not kool-aid drinking, gaslighting, or being an “American Tankie.” There’s little whaaaboutism, is what they wanted.

So, yeah, Canada, come at us. Please.

As far as I’m informed people there don’t like and don’t trust Russia and Putin.

Not anymore. Much of America is stuck in an information space that sees Russia/Putin as oppressed by liberal propaganda, like they supposedly are.

Much of America doesn’t care, or will see warped versions of this news.

Look at poll exit interviews of Americans, or more recent focus groups. We don’t “see” the same realities anymore, and it’s getting worse.

Wherever you are, friend, beg your country to block or regulate Twitter/Facebook/Tiktok and point to us as what happens when you don’t.

I think you are confusing Zelensky with Putin? The later’s enigmatic but substantial personal wealth is well reported.
