Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship.

This has no bearing on what I said, I'll repeat myself:

a centrist will not actually address the underlying issues that make actors like AfD, and the Trump-wing of the Republican party, get bigger and bigger.

Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren't equal in talent

Nobody is talking about completely eliminating inequality

We are where we are because we've allowed inequality to increase every year since the mid-'70s. Allowing that to continue - especially without establishing an actually leftist alternative (New Deal Democrat or democratic socialist at the least) - will just make the populist right bigger and more extreme.

Maybe, but a centrist will not actually address the underlying issues that make actors like AfD, and the Trump-wing of the Republican party, get bigger and bigger.

To put it differently: a Bill Clinton-type might manage to get elected and be popular, but he wouldn't do anything to keep inequality from rising even more.

Why on earth would anyone ask Jensen Huang about whether he thinks people should use AI?

Got to say, you lost me at centrist. Why?

Yeah, going into a negotiation with a very public message of KISS THE BOOT OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES will generally have people going pretty far to keep it from looking like you're getting your way. It's a matter of dignity, and a lot of people take that quite seriously.

people will be able to buy devices, but only devices that are so crappy they can't run AI (or games) locally

will it be counted as such by osint nerds pouring over photos, though?

That makes more sense, I mean, the guy volunteered to fight in the Spanish civil war

Asian countries import the most oil through the strait of Hormuz (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=65504), makes sense that they'd get hit hardest first.

Isn't the rule that every other windows since windows 98 sucks?

So win 12 should be better than 11
