China and Russia are not imperialist, they are closer to global south countries in their position with respect to imperialism as a global phenomenon. In order to fight the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, capital either seeks new markets, ie new inventions to flood with capital or geographically new markets, or it seeks to establish monopoly. The former allows for greater profits in absolute terms, the latter temporarily raises the rate of profit. The natural consequence is imperialism, where this is combined by having financial capital dominate the global south, super-exploiting labor for super-profits, and via unequal exchange, where technology and tech development is kept in the global north and thus monopoly prices are charged.
This is also why south-south trade is the path to escape underdevelopment, and is why China in particular has been a progressive force for the global south, as they don't withold tech knowledge but instead share it through cooperation and trade. China also doesn't charge the same monopoly prices for tech, which is why global south countries are seeing huge electrification, expansions in EVs, etc.
The west used to have a monopoly on cutting edge tech, they witheld the technology used for creating firearms from African countries for hundreds of years while selectively trading firearms in limited quantities for huge amounts of slaves, as an example. The west forces the global south to rely on them, and forces them into remaining at lower levels of industrial development and refinement. It's also why countries like the Sahel States are working towards cutting unrefined gold exports and upping refined gold exports, ie moving from unfinished raw materials into more finished goods or ancillary materials, and why porkie is terrified of them.
It isn't that goods further along in the commodity production process have more valuable labor time at the higher end, it's that the upper end of the production chain is easier to keep a tech and skill monopoly on. This is what liberals mean by "higher value add" industries, made more naked through Marxist analysis.
Russia wants the four oblasts, which they have been accelerating their advance in in the last few months. Cheap and deadly FPV drones force slow movement in general, but in the last few months strings of Kiev-held strongholds are falling left and right. Ukraine can't field the war much longer either, and the war is becoming increasingly unpopular. What's likely is that the four oblasts go to Russia, Kiev is forced into NATO neutrality, and their millitary is severely crippled. That's absolutely a Russian victory.
Which of these do you think Russia will have to compromise on, and why would you consider the compromise to be a loss?

didn't another german state already try this and fail pretty spectacularly?? cost them WAY more money and then they ended up rolling back to m$??
given that, this is fantastic news! it's good to see people learn from past failed implementations, hopefully learn from their mistakes, and try again instead of just blaming it on bad software
I’ve been trying to find a source but from what I remember the transition was in maybe Munich and it was going fine.
Microsoft opened a new sales or operation center there and got cozy with the government there as quickly as possible to turn them back into a customer.
EDIT: Here is the LiMux endeavor.
Microsoft had announced in 2013 its willingness to move its German headquarters to Munich in 2016, which according to Reiter though, is unrelated to the criticism they've presented against the LiMux project.

hi, the bots for link preview are called "www" in the list at deltachat-bot.github.io/public…
also notice that the right place to ask such questions is support.delta.chat/ if you want the developers and more DC users to see your questions
Do you mean InstantView Bot?
It is included in the list of public Delta Chat bots as "www". There are 3 bots with the same name. At least, www2delta@chatmail.woodpeckersnest.space works well.

Mamdani Walks Back Prior Call To Boycott Cornell Tech
New York City Mayoral elect Zohran Mamdani previously called for the boycott of Cornell Tech over its public-private partnership with Technion — Israel Institute of Technology not long after he won a seat in the New York State Assembly in 2020.
“If you were to look at the lens of [the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement] and how it applies here in New York City, you would say that Cornell-Technion is something you would be talking about,” Mamdani reportedly said on the podcast, according the The New York Post.
As Mayor-elect, Mamdani was asked by the Roosevelt Islander at a press conference whether he “currently support[s] a boycott of Cornell Tech [or if] has he ever supported a boycott [of Cornell Tech].” While Mamdani did not explicitly say he would no longer boycott Cornell Tech, he did not think the partnership was out of compliance with international law.
“Wherever the [Eric] Adams administration and previous administrations have taken us out of compliance with international law, we’ll return the city back into that compliance,” Mamdani said. Upon further questioning from the reporter, Mamdani elaborated that he does not “think that [Cornell Tech] applies to what the Adam’s administration’s done,” appearing to say that he does not support a boycott of Cornell Tech
When asked if Cornell has communicated with Mamdani or if they plan to engage with the Mamdani administration, a University spokesperson did not respond to the question. Instead, the spokesperson wrote that “the enormous success of this academic collaboration [between Cornell University and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology] proves that universities can be powerful economic engines as well and preserve New York City’s status as a global technology leader.”
The spokesperson also did not directly respond to questions about whether Cornell Tech is directly involved with the IDF, given its partnership with Technion — Israel Institute of Technology, which is tied to the organization via the Advanced Defense Research Institute and the Center for Security Science & Technology.

The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment
The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit.

So the "experimental" tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust for Linux team.

In other news, ”Yeah, this is probably not a good thing”.
[Pluribus Spoilers] A distressing thought about Koumba and the hive...
The hive exist, or desire to please the survivors. However they want. Koumba has used this more than anyone else to his own advantage to live the life of a decadent, hedonistic and shallow playboy - roleplaying as James Bond and surrounding himself and having sex with women. Now, to me - this is very much - at the minimum - taking advantage of them. The women he's having sexual relations with are not who they were, and it is unlikely - even if the hive came to him and suggested it (as I suspect they did) - that the women before the joining would be remotely interested in doing this. They are not them. Who they were has been lobotomised, malformed and disappeared into the hive - segmented up into billions of bodies.
I've seen some people (not here, but elsewhere) suggest that this behaviour is okay because the hive is consenting. The women he's picking show enthusiastic and active consent. This to me is disgraceful, not just in the context of that - but also what could be the case if Koumba had different, darker interests.
Now the show will not address this (and rightfully so) - but it still seems true to me regardless of that. If Koumba was a pedophile, they would provide him with children he requested - and the children would provide active consent. Just like the women he picks now, they wouldn't be who they were. There is no concept of childhood or child innocence anymore. The hive literally can't say no unless it contradicts their survival or asks them to hurt others.
So to anyone who thinks the hive is a good thing (and some people actually do), or that Koumba is doing no wrong with what he's doing. This should be a point to consider.
In theory they aren't individuals anymore, they are appendages. So there would be no issue with consent the same way you decide consent for your hand or mouth. In a sense your mouth consents because it is part of the you making that decision.
Except... If there were any chance your hand could separate from you and become an individual in the future it'd be immoral to use it for sex now. And Carol is already very confident that it's possible to reverse the Joining. But even if she wasn't it was always a possibility. So having sex with any of them is incredibly wrong, which should be obvious to anybody on a gut level.
