Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.

You can, or could, in Venezuela and Iran. Europe trades in oil all the time, but the petrodollar reigns supreme for international trade with oil producing nations. That’s not in question. The point is how much that will impact on international trade relations, now and in the future.
As currencies diversify, as power needs diversify and as stability and increased trade between all nations increases, the majority of trade may still remain in dollars, but that provides less power for America than historically. Oil is less important and the traded currency is also less important. This also improves with improved digital process of payments and faster shipping routes. It’s assumed that is part of the reason Russia values the arctic, for shipping routes.
There may be limited appetite for more ruoee trades now, but a trial balloon is always the first step and there may be more on an ad hoc basis. India may start to trade with Iran or Russia in increasing volume but wish to have rupee trade. A large customer like that may find that one supplier plays ball.
If the euro doesn’t really threaten US as a reserve currency, a BRICS one certainly won’t. As economies diversify and become more intersectional, as has happened since ww2, the currency fluctuations are less, with increased trade. Then currency used matters less and risk is lower for both sides when non us currency is used. So, I think dollar as a currency reserve will naturally reduce over time but it’s not disappearing any time soon.
Her taxes directly support the war. It’s not as easy as people are good and bad. Good people can be in bad situations. Sanctions are supposed to hurt all people. That’s how they work. It’s seen as a lesser evil, rather than a good. They are damaging for both sides.
I still miss the fingerprint reader on the back of the Nexus 5x. And CyanogenMod added the ability to swipe it to see notification shade which was great.
The position is just a natural place to place your finger when holding a phone so the unlock was more automatic rather than a deliberate action being required.
Yes, if you know about that community. However, by browsing the all feeds of multiple instances, you come across communities you weren’t aware of and can subscribe to on any of the instances you have an account on. Assuming, of course, they all federate.
It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.
It still can be. However, it’s often just a demonstration rather than a protest.
The king doesn’t reset the government and him interfering with our politics would probably lead to more support for us to be a republic.
There is a balance between authoritarianism and sensible regulation. China is too far one way, the USA is too far the other way. Freedom comes from the abilitiy for more people to live their lives as they please.
Protesting is important. Protecting civil rights is important. Australia goes too far on quashing disriptive protest, but is tolerant of peaceful organised protest. Disruptive protest is more effective.
Lol, no. That’s a very USA and guns culture centred view. Australia has weapons. We just don’t allow everyone to have them willy nilly. You need a licence and to properly store them. We see it as sensible and lament the deaths of all the USA children who die for so called freedom. It’s much more free here.
However this is a worrying sign of overreach. Luckily the USA has no such laws, like the patriot Act or the current proposal to register your address against online accounts. You know, to protect the children you’re all so fond of killing.
I don’t use mastodon. Do users need to reciprocate? So if I followed you and you moved server would I still get a notification, or only if you follow me?
Can anyone follow you, so does the notification let you know that it’s a change, rather than a new follower.
Perhaps a notification when it occurs, so you could unsubscribe if you wish.
Yes, but look at bud light. Boycotts can be hugely damaging. If people start boycotting Intel, Dell HP and other suppliers will happily offer amd instead. Similarly, companies with policies of not buying from suppliers with slave labour or supporting genocide may decide Intel falls in that category now. They do it as a PR exercise but ultimately it’s consumer sentiment that drives it.
Intel will need to decide if the sweetener is worth the risk. From war interrupting supply. From boycotts. From brand damage.
