  • Omarchy is so funny. There’s nothing interesting there (it’s just Arch with some questionable configs). It doesn’t solve any existing problem that wasn’t solved before, because it’s still Arch.

    And yet the technofascists can’t stop supporting it. It must be virtue-signaling.

    Wowie, you’ve credited another Arch fork derivative with a shitload of usage credit for your fourth-grade AI model. Surely this will have an impact on technology.

    Then again, it’s a match made in heaven. Nobody cares about Omarchy, and about the same number of people would care about Grok if they couldn’t get pornography out of it.




  • Yeah, it was. I just don’t like putting “/s” or something on posts because what good is sarcasm if you’re not upsetting anyone?

    If someone thinks getting substantial aspects, like the side of a car door a mirror is on, wrong, are “smallest details” (which my post implies), they’re dumb. Simple as

    I was kind of expecting people to misunderstand it (no offense to anyone, I kept my stance somewhat vague on purpose) but I was hoping that it was so absurd the majority would get it :D









  • He’s right in my opinion.

    The issue is that under the nuclear sharing agreement, Germany has to provide the bomber jets.

    As part of nuclear sharing, the participating countries carry out consultations and make common decisions on nuclear-weapons policy, training, and deployment, and maintain technical equipment (notably nuclear-capable aircraft) that is required for the delivery of nuclear weapons.

    To be nuclear-capable, an aircraft needs to be certified by the US in this case since they provide the nuclear weapons. In the past, this was done for the Tornado; that one however is being phased out due to age.

    So the options are:

    1. get out of the nuclear sharing agreement. I don’t think that’s currently a feasible option for Germany.
    2. Certify a European aircraft. There’s no guarantee that a verification will be successful, but what will be guaranteed is that all design documents are to be provided to the certification body. I don’t think Europe is currently willing to reveal all their know-how in that domain to the US. Apart from that, I’m not aware of a current generation bomber jet, only fighters, but I don’t really care about that topic so maybe one exists.
    3. Buy a certified US aircraft

    So yeah he’s correct in that this doesn’t increase dependence on the US, the dependence stems from the nuclear sharing agreement itself, not this purchase.
