  • What an incredibly deep ignorance about the modern world.

    If you’re curious about how countries militaries actually stack up these days I’d suggest looking into the results of some of the recent NATO joint exercises. The French military is actually quite formidable with a lot of recent heavy intervention in old colonies and anti terrorism strike force actions lately… now, nothing can really compare to the insane US military budget but France is pretty fucking serious.

    The UK is a joke, though.

    The real sleeping bears are the Baltics though. Those fucks are scared shitless of Russia and have heavily invested in widespread training in an effort to present Russia with an occupational nightmare due to partisan resistance if they ever invade.

    As a contrast while China has a shit load of stuff there was a massive amount of military supply corruption leading to a really high practical failure rate. They’ve got infantry for days of course, and their navy is quite serious… but there’s a strong suspicion that China’s airforce is much weaker than numbers would suggest.









  • Windows actually does have a decentish ssh program built in these days… it’s not great but like… it works. And while I used to use PuTTY myself, I’ve just switched over to using git bash - so it amuses me that they’re using ancient tooling even though the oldest is like 25?

    As a thirty eight year old I feel confident in saying that these clowns need to get with the times.

    Also, don’t forget that Musk is a huge fucking idiot. He recently claimed the US government doesn’t use SQL which is laughably ignorant.
