I have heard of Rosetta not implementing the entire instruction set, and games being one of the most affected kinds of software, most of them crashing due to illegal instructions.

That won’t fix the fact that the macOS kernel can’t run 32-bit binaries.

How can you run old 32-bit, directx 9 games on apple silicon? Is there any solution that is flawless? One of the things that stops me from buying a modern Mac.

All countries should govern themselves, based on their cultural needs.

Right? There are globalists in mass media everywhere. But, for them to be so openly like that, they must have a lot of contempt for the human race.

Thanks Mr. Spanfeller!!

You don't have to embed a github gist to show 5 lines of console output that are not even highlighted. You can use the HTML <code> tag.

When you say the White House’s contempt do you mean when they decided to stop spending money on Ukraine or…?

I’m European and I couldn’t care less about blue checkmarks and I don’t want social networks censoring people. After all, every time the commission has publicly clashed with Musk it has been because the commission wanted more censorship and Musk doesn’t care. On what side should I be?

If they actually were issuing this fine because of violations of the DSA they wouldn't be afraid of retaliation from the US. Just read that bullshit quote about what a blue checkbox on a profile means or not means...

Given that the glaciers should’ve all melted by now, and that we can’t even predict with certainty whether it will rain tomorrow, I wouldn’t pay much attention to predictions.

I don’t remember saying that or anything that remotely resembled that.

>Additionally, the left is not in charge almost anywhere in the EU.

Basically an overwhelming majority of the countries + the commission?

The article talks about manipulation from the US, but the examples are: Cambridge Analytica (which was British, not American), Querdenkers (who were German), and Éric Zemmour (who is French). I mean is this seriously advocating for the censorship of protests coming from the German public?

What these people want is censorship that only allows progressive arguments to flourish. They already have all the laws that make non-progressive speech forbidden, but they are struggling to apply them to companies that are the other side of the pond. Having social networks here would allow them do to so easily. To that I have to say no thanks.

Why would they pay better wages if they can choose not to? It’s simple supply and demand.
I didn’t blame mass immigration for the fall of wages of educated people. Maybe you misunderstood what I said. It’s uneducated young people who suffer from that. I have clarified my other comment.

From last year. There is a version in English.

Regarding renting, it’s legally almost impossible to kick out a squatter, which means most people choose to leave their empty homes closed instead of renting them, which, added to mass immigration, has led to a surge in rent prices.

Bottom of the barrel wages for the uneducated natives are the result of uncontrolled mass migration - we have received millions of immigrants in the last decade, which has basically destroyed wages, and has made the poorest suffer.

On the other hand real estate is held by wealthy old natives and laws are enacted to make sure that real estate increases in price forever, the young be damned - no one cares about them since our population pyramid means they’ll always be a minority.

As a Spanish person I can’t even imagine what would make someone come here to live - I suppose you’re already exceedingly wealthy?

Almost all of my friends with higher educations have left for northern countries, as the situation here is untenable for young people. Of course if you have money that’s not an issue… and evidently the kind of money that makes that non an issue can only obtained in places like the US.

> Losers don't get to define what is Right

I mean, is this wrong? Is the literal reason we have elections, so the losers can’t tell us what to do.

That’s not true. They have the same amount of calories roughly. It’s physically impossible for animal fat to have that many calories. Tallow has 900 calories per 100 grams while olive oil has 884. They are almost pure fat and pure fat has 9 calories per gram.
This is completely wrong. For example, you can increase the amount of oil or butter in a recipe, doubling or tripling its calorie count, and you would never be able to tell from a picture.

It’s like when they call abortion “healthcare” as if we couldn’t tell the difference. It’s all semantics. But human lives are at stake so we shouldn’t compromise.
That this would happen is evident to everybody with a minimum knowledge of economics. It’s the same reason UBI won’t work because it would make prices skyrocket.
