China has been strategically preparing to do it for years now. It's not just talk from a crazy leader of a democratic country that will be gone in a few years, but is on the official roadmap of a dictatorship for at least a decade.

Germany is also pumping a lot of money into Military. Nobody in Europe seems to mind.

Pretty sure China is unhappy not for history reason, but because of the current situation, which is that China tries to establish military dominance in the region and wants to invade Taiwan.

Germany does not have public shrines to the perpetrators of genocide which heads of state pay respects at.

There was no Kniefall von Warschau for Japan.

It's maybe not part of the public discourse so much, but I regularly hear ordinary people express their concern about this

It's not about demonstrating, it's about results and this is only training.

The problem is relatively easy to solve: make the people in charge personally accountable. If jail time or really just justice would be a real possibility, they would figure out a solution quite fast.

It's only a fantasy, of course, powerful people are not held accountable, see the dozens of arrests regarding Epstein we are still waiting for. We got something to play with, but accountability for the powerful? Gosh no.

But when FIFA was inclined to give the world cup to Russia, even such corruption somehow became a pressing issue, including FBI search warrants.

From my 20 years in corporate culture, I have concluded that most adults never really develop past high school.

And sportsball was the priority in high school. It's no wonder that the public always opt to pay for big stadiums for teams owned by billionaires.

Let alone they get deactivated whenever we feel like it and changed without consent.

The framing is used to shield companies from taking responsibility and being held accountable for what their software does. It's not them, it's the AI, we are all victims here, including them, they underestimated how smart the AI is yadayadayada.

Not all traffic, but any.

I agree it doesn't matter for most smaller entities, but it's relevant for larger entities and as the US does not anymore intend to be allied with Europe, the Western world, or anybody really, there's now actual incentive to move away from such systemic risks.

Economics are becoming less and less important when it comes to switch to Linux. The risk of relying on US companies has gone through the roof lately.

No, the risk is that Microsoft loses its de facto monopoly on Enterprise ecosystems. It's pretty hard to switch to Linux, some have tried, bigger entities never stuck to it. So far. Now with the political landscape shifting, the priority to achieve that has gone much higher.

I assumed you would link the actual articles, but instead you linked articles about his articles. One should start with the original sources at least.

You got a good point, it's not always clear what people try to imply, on the other hand however I have experienced many times that interpretations were not really based on what was actually said/written.

I like the first article in that regard as it is based on quoted sections. It does quite hard framing on what's actually written, but at least it's easier to judge the merit of the argument when it's side by side with the original quote it's based on.

I did cite the source. That blog is doing a Lot of"reading between the lines."
