Would you look at that, a wild genocide connoisseur appeared!

Go fucking extinct with your comparisons of human suffering. The only thing you prove is your own lack of morals. The only thing you achieve is total disrespect to those suffering.

And if there’s a bug in that code, you’re fucked.

Safety features should work if everything else fails. Their failure mode can’t be “fuck it, it didn’t work”. Which is directly opposite to the failure mode of a subscription based service.

Ten and a half. And that’s only if we discount Tuzla island dispute and continuous attempts to take control of politics and economy.

First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

“We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.

Oh, they just didn’t realize that they are easy targets themselves. Early days are always like this.

Senior backend engineering definitely doesn’t see 99% windows adoption rate.

The way SpaceX IPO got crammed into index, it’s invulnerable to anything but an immediate incarceration of everybody involved.

Index funds will be required to buy the stocks at a listing price before market can decide how much they are worth exactly.

Afterwards, “economy in a recession” is synonymous to “free buffet” to those at the reins.

Some employees report outright refusing to use AI tools.

So having morals is sabotage now?

The size of that changeset means that it’s inherently unreviewable.

The commit history is something I’ve seen only in the PRs that even the most dysfunctional companies would demand a rewrite for.

Also, 2-3 weeks review? PostgreSQL support could be added in that time without the need for a damn „vibe check”. Hell, it would probably take less time than that.

I’m not afraid of retirement, I’m afraid of needing to work on the day of my funeral.

You don’t need to have kids to pass on values. The basic premise of your statement doesn’t hold up.

• USA is not the most diverse country (its ethnic fractionalization index is below that of Moldova - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level)
• Out of listed countries, the only one that exhibits clear signs of ethnonationalism is Russia (although I have to admit to be fairly ignorant on state of things in Argentina)
• Lumping Russia with its former colonies screams “ignorance”
• Grabbing a bunch of countries from the oldest trade route and thinking they are gonna be ethnically homogenous echoes the previous scream
• Me spending time on this post is a clear evidence of procrastination
• Poland has universal healthcare, walkable cities, affordable intra- and intercity public transportation, and provides free higher education to its citizens
• Moldova provides free education to its citizens and has universal healthcare
• Even Russia has a still working universal healthcare (terrible by many standards, but still beats US) and provides higher education to its citizens
• Argentina has universal healthcare and offers free higher education to it’s citizens
• Why am I still procrastinating? Send help!

USA is a dominant superpower though.

Is king riding barefoot?

Every bit of code a maintainer accepts becomes their responsibility to maintain. Considering that half the time „improvements” don’t even have tests to help maintaining them, feel free to maintain your own fork.

The original book finds itself in a science fiction genre only because anything with spaceships and technology is placed there. For all practical purposes though, it’s a space fantasy.

In other words, complaining about science of Dune is like complaining about poetic meter of a tax report - something you do only with the closest of friends.

“No data” on Greenland is a perfect touch.

Welcome to the world of SPAs. Where every little thing needs its own application.

Damn it, we even have HTML tags that are impossible to employ in their entirety without use of JavaScript. <dialog> is infuriating and is literally two attributes away from not needing JavaScript.

Except on Chrome. Dialog is broken on Chrome and you will have to clean up with JavaScript after chrome’s own half assed implementation.

By not using internet. No, seriously, if you access something over the internet, you will leave tracks. This here post is nothing new or inherently scary on its own. I used to have forum signatures that would tell people what browser they were using or from what IP they were coming.

What you really want to do is disable third party cookies on everything you own. That (and things like hsts super cookies) is what tracks you.

If you’re using an app to browse Lemmy, you might ask for their implementation to reject cookies and fingerprinting attempts when displaying images and other embeddables.

a minute later edit: And yeah, if you don’t like web services to know the IP address given to you by your ISP, VPN is a decent option.

It’s all the other men. Always.

You’d think that being a “man of god” would bring a heavier sentence.
