That’s probably the point.

I don’t know why we’re suddenly talking about Austria - a country I’ve never mentioned, because I’ve never been there and know little about it.
Judging solely based on your description, it does sound similar to the European Comission. I wouldn’t say either is particularly democratic. Both seem quite similar to the Chinese democracy, which is rarely referred to as democracy at all in the West.
The EU commission is elected by the directly elected European Parliament based on suggestions by the Council/member states.
This is wrong. The European Parliament does not elect anybody. The president of the European Comission is chosen by the European Council, while the rest of the comissioners are chosen by the Council of the European Union.
The Parliament only gets to vote on the final result, as usual. Theoretically, it can vote against the proposed Comission, or put a motion of no confidence in the Comission. Both of these only have limited realistic use, because the Parliament still cannot put forward its own nominations.

Nobody said anything about governments or even democracy itself being good.
‘Leading democracy’ just means it’s the best out of all available democracies, regardless of how bad they all are or how flawed the system of democracy is. It’s relative.

She has repeatedly made decisions that cost the EU and benefitted the US. Putting foreign powers’ interests before the European Union’s sounds like a clear case of treason to me.
- Comment on European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames 2 days ago:
My country’s government has been democratically elected. If it makes terrible decisions, the people have the choice of electing a different one. In theory at least.
The European Comission is not democratically elected, and regardless of how batshit insane its decisions are - we have no legal pathway of changing it.
The European Comission is not ‘the political system’ of the European Union. It’s one part of it. A part that is undemocratic and needs reforms as soon as possible.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO: Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now 3 days ago:
That’s the dream, but both Intel and AMD will spend all of their money on ensuring it doesn’t happen.
In this regard Nvidia is actually the least bad of the three. It’s already manufacturing ARM SOCs, and isn’t opposed to RISC-V either, since it’d be theoretically more profitable than ARM. No ARM royalties => more money for Jensen.
Especially with the recent RTX Spark announcement. Nvidia is perfectly willing to invest a lot of resources into ARM, while Intel and AMD are both investing resources into sabotaging it.
ARM isn’t RISC-V of course, but close enough. Many companies investing into ARM invest into RISC-V as well, including ARM giants like Qualcomm, because it only makes sense.
If it wasn’t for the AI bubble, I could consider Nvidia to be better than Intel or AMD overall. I’d still probably buy AMD’s desktop GPUs over Nvidia’s though.

Is he being pro-AI or anti-car?

AMD is just as bad. It only looks better, because it doesn’t have the resources to pull of all the crazy shit that Nvidia does.
And so is Intel. There’s no good choice when it comes to dekstop CPUs and GPUs, unfortunately.

I’m a little confused here.
We know for a fact they’re predominantly evil sociopaths, war criminals, child predators, liars, thieves, rapists, and murderers, among other, equally horrifying crimes.
But we’re still not shooting them on sight. How come?
- Comment on European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames 3 days ago:
The European Comission being corrupt as fuck really doesn’t help with growing anti-EU sentiments. This is why people lose faith in the EU.
Prosecute Ursula von der Leyen for treason and crimes against the European Union. Dissolve the European Comission and/or give more power to the European Parliament.
How are we supposed to be the leading democracy if only the arbitrarily-appointed commissioners can introduce new legislation?
How is it a functional democracy if one of the most successful citizens’ initiative is essentially being ignored, because it doesn’t align with corporate interests?
President von der Leyen, along with the rest of the European Comission, are digging the entire European Union’s grave. And they’re doing a very good job, unfortunately.

- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
Heavily depends on what makes Skyrim special for you.
The most obvious similar games are other Bethesda titles, especially Oblivion and Morrowind. Install some QoL and graphical mods, and you should now have 3 Skyrims.

100% exact same people who defend corporations and politicians. Brains completely ground from all the propaganda. Sad to see.

- Comment on GTA 6 Developers Announce Rockstar Games Union 3 weeks ago:
I unironically hope the game never launches. I don’t think it’s gonna be an interesting game. Absolutely not worth all the trouble it’ll put on other studios. Also, fuck Rockstar and fuck Take-Two.
- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 weeks ago:
I love my original 512GB LCD Deck and I’ve been encouraging a lot of people to get one every since it came out.
However… at the current price point it just doesn’t make sense. Right now you can buy Snapdragon 8 Elite handhelds for less than half of a Steam Deck’s price. Or an Ayaneo Konkr Fit with much better specs and almost 2x larger battery for $999.
Everything is getting more expensive, but at this price I couldn’t recommend anyone a Steam Deck with a clear conscience.

Hold on… Okay, so what you’re saying is… Locking games behind one platform, especially a dying one, leads to significantly fewer copies sold? I’m speechless. How is that even possible? If only we could figure out a way to foresee such events…
- Comment on Please the overlords 5 weeks ago:
True, they are quite durable. And it makes perfect sense. Otherwise the companies would have to spend considerably more on repairs or replacements, and potentially go out of business. Though sometimes people overestimate this sturdiness (or more likely just don’t care). In Romania, or at least in Bucharest, it’s quite common to find rental scooters thrown in the river. Not sure if they’re able to survive it.
- Comment on Please the overlords 5 weeks ago:
I live in Europe. I once completely crashed one, along with myself, due to a huge pothole. Even though it’s totally obvious what happened based on speed data alone, they never reached out to me about it.
Should be noted it was fully functional, just probably scratched, maybe the handlebar slightly misaligned.
