"Losing it" ? The guy never had it! His speeches have been word salad and lies for at least 10 years.

At least Scale AI isn't 700 Indians in a trenchcoat like that company Microsoft poured money into.

Most people book this kind of holiday a year in advance. The people still coming to the US booked their holidays last year. There's going to be an enormous impact by next year.

I love the US, spent a lot of time there, worked there for years, I have family there. I'm not going back until Trump is gone and there is some kind normality returned - which might be a long time.

Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn't going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.

Are they appointing the most incompetent people they can as an insult to America? It sure looks that way from the outside. This is kakistocracy.

"Basically, I’m not in the position right now to learn a distro and struggle around with all that crap and I need to keep my music shit."

If you don't want to have to learn anything new, then switching your OS to something you don't know how to use is a stupid idea.

My little brother's was both the best and the worst wedding I've ever been to in many ways. The mother of the bride stood up to make a speech and it was just insane. She opened with "eeee would have been giving this speech" (pointing at the bride's stepfather), "but he's just had a gastric band fitted". She finished by saying how she didn't feel she was losing a daughter, but she was gaining a friend ... in (daughter's name).

The bride's family didn't speak to any of us for most of the reception, there was an invisible line across the room with the two families on each side. The bride's little brother with learning difficulties destroyed the cake by punching it repeatedly before anyone could get a piece. My family all got drunk and had a food fight during the reception. My little brother slept with someone else the night before the wedding and they separated the week after the wedding.

This was nearly 20 years ago, but we still laugh about it. God I wish someone had filmed that speech from the bride's lunatic mother, it was amazing.

Lemmy must be using the prefers-color-scheme media query as I didn't even know it had a light mode!

Seems like a lot of words to say that they're assholes.

Not true, the pins are sleeved so if it is improperly plugged in, you still can't touch live parts.

in part because the fediverse is “too hard.”

I think this is probably a good thing, it might keep dumb people away.

As an aside, it's starting to irritate me how often I see people complain the fediverse/threadiverse is too complex or too difficult to understand. I mean, you managed to understand that email accounts live on different servers, but you can't apply that same mental logic to forums living on different servers?

Of course it's a blow, Trump and his administration are Putin's stooges and complete fucking traitors to their own country! It's right out there in the open and they are getting away with it, all while robbing America blind and fucking shit up for the rest of us. It's as infuriating as it is disgusting.

I have a full gaming rig, but mainly play on my Steamdeck - it's so much more convenient to just be able to pick it up and play.

I still find it absolutely wild that the president of the US has this much power, that the president can be an unqualified, incompetent drooling fucking moron and they are allowed to veto sensible knowledgeable people and do dangerous, stupid things like control the dumping of reservoirs.

WTF is wrong with America? In my country we have a parliamentary democracy and a civil service of qualified, intelligent people. We don't allow one total fucking imbecile to ride roughshod over everything and ruin anything they like. US congress is like some useless appendix right now when it should be in charge of making these decisions.

isn't this happening right now with Judge Cannon? She was a Trump appointee, has already made an outrageous decision relating to Trump, and now she's presiding over his classified documents case, Trumpers are sending her death threats because they think she has the power to toss the case out at this point. It's like they don't even know when they are winning!

"Justice will prevail". Not until the whole rotten US administration is behind bars it won't.

While I like it as a simile, we didn't feed cows to cows - we fed them sheep infected with scrapie, at least that's the theory of how mad cow disease started. I say "we", I wasn't involved in the process, I just live here.

Same, I'm nearly 50 and I bought a bike last year to do my commute and help get back in shape. I now cycle 100 miles a week and I lost 50lbs last year. I love that when I'm on the bike, my brain quietens down and I stop thinking about everything else, it's meditation and exercise in one.

The argument that it is faster is the biggest lie ever

Vscode is written in JavaScript and running in a web browser. Vim is written in C and runs at a console. Of course Vim is faster. Vscode is a hobbled cripple by comparison.

The rest of your comment suggests you are ignorant of vim with plugins and command line tools. I've tried vscode and while it looks nice, I am far faster when developing with vim and a couple of open terminals.
