  • I have 20 years programming experience and C# is one of my favorite languages. It feels so expressive and doesn't get in your way nearly as much as Java does. I feel like I'm writing the code I want to write instead of writing the code someone from 30 years ago with a fetish for boilerplate wanted me to write.

  • Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship

    Jump

  • So now we're calling creating competition "picking winners"?

  • Republican legislators (but not Democrats) who share low-credibility info get rewarded with more clicks

    Jump

  • Yeah, gotta watch out for that but there are underlying thought patterns that aren't rooted in a political party. A great example is Harris's "weird" campaign. All she did was call out Republican behavior as "weird" and it really got under their skin. Conservatives have a deathly fear of being excluded from the in-group. Calling them weird clawed at that fear and got them to react. It's low-brow, but it worked.

  • What if the left starts a propaganda campaign flooding twitter and truth social with low effort blog spam that looks like sensational low-credibility garbage but is actually factual and correct?

  • Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump

    Jump

  • What's the article have to say about why the selloff is strange?

    • it reflects something more ominous as President Donald Trump tries to reshape global trade: a loss of confidence in the U.S.
    • Global trust and reliance on the dollar was built up over a half century or more ... But it can be lost in the blink of an eye
    • the dollar has fallen 9% against a basket of currencies, a rare and steep decline
    • It is no longer hyperbole to say that the dollar’s reserve status and broader dominant role is at least somewhat in question
    • the ballooning U.S. federal debt, which is already at a risky 120% of U.S. annual economic output ... Most countries with that debt to GDP would cause a major crisis
    • he will force interest rates lower to boost the economy even if doing so risks stoking runaway inflation. That is a sure fire way to get people to flee the dollar.
    • This is the first step down a slippery slope where international confidence in the U.S. dollar is lost

    Hm, strange indeed. It's just happening on its own and nobody can put their finger on why. Better say it's "strange" and not "POTUS is intentionally destroying the US's global standing via disastrous and illegal policy"

  • Judge launches inquiry into Trump administration’s refusal to seek return of wrongly deported man

    Jump

  • A two week inquiry? What in the actual fuck? If I disregarded any judge's order my ass would be in prison for contempt. But Trump gets to disregard every court up to and including SCOTUS and he's met with a two week inquiry where nobody is going to recall a single fucking thing? The US has fallen to a dictatorship. Our little democratic experiment has concluded.

  • Federal government to end use of paper checks for tax refunds, social security – NBC Chicago

  • The next EO will be declaring access to a digital bank account and the internet a basic right. Right?

  • Explain it to me (sans facts).

  • This becomes so obvious when the tariff is over 100%. The supplier is obviously not paying 125% of the sale price in taxes.

  • Having male friends in Georgia is too homoerotic for their sensibilities.

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • I left in the API exodus. Never went back.

  • 90s band alignment chart

    Jump

  • I'm not sure sarcasm is the right word. I'd say it's more "self awareness". Cake is a good example. They're not serious and their music is almost a parody of pop-alt-rock at the time. Radiohead is borderline self-aware; they're sad and they know it, but not so sad as to be "serious" about it like Dashboard Confessional.

  • Israeli officials furious that Signal group chat exposed intelligence, sources say

    Jump

  • They should stop taking weapons from the US to teach them a lesson.

  • what forums are out there that people actually go to, besides Lemmy?

    Jump

  • (early) reddit was the answer to the question "what if anyone could have their own phpbb instance without having to host it?" Then along came Lemmy asking "what if anyone could have their own reddit instance and have to host it?"

  • We don't want "robust settings and tools". All we want is a simple off button.

  • HALT Fentanyl Act Clears Senate, Poised to Become Law

    Jump

  • I don't think so. The bill was written by a chemist. I don't know what fentanyl or narcan are from a chemical perspective to be able to evaluate if the law would apply to narcan. It says this:

    ‘‘(e)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of a fentanyl-re- lated substance, or which contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
