Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defenseEnglish2·3 days agoChina has been playing a long game with rare earth metals. You asked a specific question, the answer of which wouldn’t really explain anything. I gave you a longer answer that gives a fuller picture.
Trump and company were fools to trigger China like this.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defenseEnglish2·4 days agoFrom 2011:
That’s because China now controls over 95% of the world’s supplies of rare earth metals, and has placed curbs on rare earth exports, creating a resource stranglehold. China slashed export quotas by 72% in the second half of last year, and imposed a further 35% cut in the first half of 2011 from the year-ago level. As a result prices for some rare earths have jumped more than 1,000%.

And yet, you still replied.
I’ve been seeing the US slide into fascism for the past 20 years. As long as I’ve been politically aware. Bush Jr set the stage of this problem and while none of the Democrats have been actively fascist, they also haven’t done anyway thing to reverse course either.
People aren’t rolling their eyes. They’re turning their head because they don’t want to face reality.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•the state doesn't care anymoreEnglish102·5 days agoThe end goal in orange mind is deport anyone whos against the regime.
It’s not. The math doesn’t work out. There are far more undocumented people alone in the US to fill up foreign prisons. What is more likely to happen is is that at a certain point, the US will start building their own concentration camps, then when all the businesses that relied on those people are struggling to fill positions, the camps will start leasing their prisoners to those businesses. It will be billed as some “Work sets you free” or “Service Guarantees Citizenship” Program.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?161·6 days ago- Search Amazon for product you want.
- Check reviews
- Throw out reviews because a) they’re for the wrong product or b) they’re bot written.
- Use the product numbers to search for the the same product elsewhere, preferably from the company’s own website or brick and mortar.
- If it’s something you actually need and can’t find it elsewhere, it’s ok to buy Amazon, just don’t pay for a Prime account. No one needs shit that quickly.

Yes, that also works in Windows and Mac. When I still dual booted Windows, I gave up on anti-viruses and just didn’t download suspicious things and used Firefox with all the regular blockers. Never had a problem.
