I for one feel like we need to shift away from the US. Cut our losses on the AUKUS and position more closely with Canada, UK and New Zealand. Most of our trade is Japan, South Korea and Chine so makes sense if we even move closer to them as well. I would not be fussed either way as long as it was away from the US.
- Definitely time to think about a nuclear program as well.

As an American, i believe everyone should shift away from us. We've shown that we can't be trusted. Hopefully this will pass, but until then we need to be put into time out.

I wish the EU gave us viable alternatives to nvidia, Intel, AMD and Microsoft Windows.
Anyone know if any of the above is actively being worked on?
And don't suggest Ubuntu. I've wasted enough time trying to get it running with a decent graphical UI. I'll try that again as soon as it it user friendly to install and boot and comes as an comprehensive package of drivers and all.
