Bye reddit, you were ok, 10 years ago.

India isn't going to do well in 3+°C, not sure about their enthusiasm against carbon taxes. Besides, the EU has a duty to promote low-carbon products.

Yea, what I wanted was battle bots: the drone cage fight reboot.

Was it because of this guy?

their mother's what?

yeah...ok...but no thanks...the idea is to use youtube less, not youtube++ more...but I guess a hosting alternative is good. Just not for anything even remotely critical of China.

Well, they are to the west of the west...so...😁

🤦 "bad slave, the truth makes me look bad"

eg I used to watch those blokes, serpentza and laowhy86, for a non-china-sponsored-influencer view of China.

This is something you learn the hard way about neoliberal meritocracy..."They only hire the best and you fight to get there, you're the best until you inevitably aren't at your best...and once you aren't at your best even for a moment of weakness, then you are not the best...and you never were".

Every day his stupidity surprises me more than the last.

Antitrust comes in waves in the US. First, it's a free for all to let the tech develop freely...then you see the horrors and a time of antitrust kicks in. This would be the 4th wave since the Sherman Act. Let's hope it's a good one.

huh, we wasn't cynically posturing for election purposes, he really wants to die on this hill :/

Is there a historical precedent for punishing the defender for daring to successfully resist invasion by a third country?

Good science is boring, good politics is boring, good espionage is boring, good journalism is boring, good history is boring, good banking is boring, good business is boring. Entertainment serves us this pop view of the world...

But wikipedia is more valuable than all the LLM slop machines combined.

That's one of the things I love in lemmy. Moderation transparency.

Hm, playing devil's advocate, I think it is because the minus has not been defined as a string operation (e.g. it could pop the last char), so it defaults to the mathematical operation and converts both inputs into ints.

The first is assumed to be a concat because one of the parcels is a string...

It's just doing a lot of stuff for you that it shouldn't be in first place 🤭
