Zelenskyy is doing what he can to keep Ukraine independent from Russia. He has successfully sought aid and support from the West and Europe.

Russia has no legal or moral claim to Ukraine. Russians and north North Koreans are dying for Putins pointless causes. It is and has been clear that Europe would respect Russian borders who the whole thing is pointless and you deserve to pay the punishment for trying to invade Europe.

90% of manufacturing is done in China, India and other (formerly) poor countries. You’re paying 50p for plastic tat, £1 for a t-shirt and all the other slave labour. That’s something that USA,UK, Germany have been offshoring since the 1950s. Western countries and China heavily locked together for mutual success.

When you talk about how to support countries, what exactly do you mean? Why we continue to do business with these countries? Pride symbols didn’t even exist until 1990s.

Also if you want people to be more liberal you have to educate and share with them. It won’t happen by boycotting people. Russia is the perfect example of that.

Ok, I assumed it was in retaliation for Pearl harbour?

No one has mentioned the command line: aerc

I use it and it’s very minimal and clean.

The atomic bomb is the last image is the reason we haven’t had a world war in 70 years. It has saved more lives that it took. It’s the reason you sleep safe in your bed at nights. It was essential in ending the war against the Axis. You guys need to be grateful.

Napalming kids though, harder to defend….

I have literally been using the same build of dwm as my desktop env since 2007.

Guys Grok is a second rate mediocre AI chat. It is DELIBERATELY offensive so you will think it’s cool and funny. It’s designed to spread the anger to increase engagement.

Everytime you engage with it, it wins

If you walk around in a circle then one leg is being rubbed down to just a nub far quicker than the other. Maybe.

It’s all to do with billionaires being able to hide their money so they can avoid taxes, escape the authorities, hide their fraud and embezzlement. It’s about taking the power away from other nations.

To give you an example, if git was under the MIT license instead of GPL , then Microsoft can silently add incompatible features to GitHub without anyone knowing. The regular git client appears to work for a while. Then they start advertising msgit with some extra GitHub features and shortcuts. Once they get to 50% adoption they simply kill the open source version off.

If GitHub required a special client to be installed tomorrow… I would have to concede and use it. It’s GPL that stops that because everyone has to get every new feature.

When Slack was first rolling out the dev team in my office of 50 people we all hated it. Thankfully it had an IRC bridge so we could use Slack through IRC. It was seemingly the same experience as before except more business users were in the chat rooms. Once the Corp side of the business were onboard, they dropped IRC support, forcing us to use their clients.

Now it doesn’t matter that rules or laws or privacy invasion they do. They have captured the companies communications and can hold it hostage.

I’ve seen it again and again. When is the last time you downloaded an MP3 file?

Brilliant!

The person who made the clock copied it from a sundial. You can’t say it’s not logical because that’s how physics works.

UK IT dev here. When I started working in the field back in 2000ish it was perfectly fine for IT staff to pop to the pub. Did for many years. Then in my 20s it became normal to have drinks after work rather than during work. Then when marriage etc came along, it became neither.

Honestly?

It’s you guys that are missing out. You literally miss the perspective we have. Social media is completely optional. What the politicians do doesn’t affect you. Ignorance is bliss.

I remember in 2008 when the banks lost billions and had crashed, so the governments took literally all the tax payers money and bailed them out.

The system literally cannot be rigged more in their favour. It is impossible for them to fail because they are insured with your money.

Economy growing at 1%

Rich getting interest on their money at 4%

Therefore everyone else is getting poorer.

Don’t delude yourself in a lifetime of believing the housing market will collapse or that prices can’t continue to rise. That somehow some affordability ceiling will appear.

The rich have growing piles of money and no one else to put it. Gold has doubled, housing can too.

Football perhaps, maybe football away games. All the trouble that some hooligans cause abroad. Thankfully football might be too big to fail, but they do give it a bad vibe at the worst of times.

I had a 6700k until December just gone. For Linux it can do everything and anything. It’s totally usable! I only gave mine up because of CS2.

We simply let people poor people take out massive loans. Once in the land of opportunity they can make it all back again immediately.

That thick line of chocolate on a Mars bar is called the cock vein.
