  • With regards to the Global South I expect the effects are going to be fairly immediate because China is the country that’s helping Global South develop and build out infrastructure

    This is actually why I say those effects will take a while for the global south. Construction projects usually take years before their utility is realized. In the meantime, there is no alternative to the dollar for the global south. They cannot oppose unilateral sanctions yet, nor can they organize against US imperialism.

    I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the rate of progression in recent years, but I’m not getting my hopes up for an early miracle. I’ll pray for the collapse of the dollar, but my bet is on 10-20 years before the US cannot wield their economic posture as a weapon against most of the world.


















  • Sounds good in theory.

    But I’ve had so many issues with D-Bus fucking shit up on my systems that I’d be very reluctant to hinge my only way of recovering from failures upon something so brittle.

    Granted, D-Bus hasn’t given me any trouble since moving to NixOS. The hell of trying to recover my arch systems from a perpetually failing D-Bus would make me very apprehensive to adopt this. I could see myself using run0 by default, but keeping sudo-rs or doas around with a much stricter configuration as a failsafe until the run0 + D-Bus + PolKit is absolutely stable and bulletproof.
