News@lemmy.world•The Hidden Cost of the U.S. Military: The Real Budget is Far Larger Than ReportedEnglish
8·6 days ago“A major significant issue is debt financing. Since the wars launched after 11 September 2001, the United States has relied heavily on borrowing rather than taxation to finance military operations. For this reason, some refer to the post-2001 wars as ‘credit card wars’”.
Imagine conducting wars against other countries by borrowing money from other countries to conduct them. Its gonna be fun when the debt comes due…

0·3 months agoAs a European,
It will take a lot more than these, along with plenty of time and pain, to regain the trust of the rest if the world.
Mostly it will require a turn, in behalf of the USA, to a functioning democracy, with checks and balances, a functioning senate and house of representatives, a functioning justice, a functioning administration, a working economy, fair trade and so on.
I m not very optimistic that the USA will do it in my lifetime if ever.

Technology@lemmy.world•How AI broke the smart home in 2025English
57·6 months agoIf anyone wants privacy while maintaing a smart home, then Home Assistant is the solution. Its not adopted widely because it has a learning curve and it needs a bit (or a lot) poking around to make it work. It also has a voice assistant that is not AI powered ( but it could be supplemented by a local LLM if you really want to). A big rabit hole if anyone is interested to go to.
