  • 'Tariffs all the way': Trump says European Union must buy U.S. oil and gas in trade ultimatum

    Jump

  • Eh, I mean. You have to buy fossil somewhere, unfortunately.

    We used to buy it in great part from Russia, now we can’t. Which is a good thing. But that severely limits our options.

    Even if Trump were to shut the fuck up, which would be amazing, we would probably be buying a lot of raw energy materials from USA anyway.

    “Forcing” us to buy American energy is a bit like putting food in your dog’s bowl and then sternly commanding him to eat it, showing off your leadership skills.

  • Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.

  • Sure, but honestly I hate the idea of having different runtimes. That’s the reason why I like neither snaps nor flatpaks.

  • Real. Though sometimes running a recent version of something is a real challenge, unless it ships in appimage. If it’s a small program you can usually backport the package from unstable or just build it yourself, but if it depends on some rust or js libraries or whathaveyou you have to do so much crap you might as well just be running trixie

  • SUSE was a German company a century ago, then it changed hands more than a soap bar in a public restroom and now I have no idea if it’s even a terrestrial company anymore

  • Open source projects drown in bad bug reports penned by AI

  • Not saying it can’t be, but I’ll be more convinced by an article that is a bit less emotionally loaded. It’s clear that the author has a bone to pick with Microsoft, and it reads as it’s written by a high schooler who wants to LARP as a journalist.

    Just to be clear I have been in big tech corpos with cult-ish undertones and I have also seen the mindset poppycock shoved to my face multiple times, it’s not that I find their contents hard to believe. I just find that article hard to trust.

  • To what end exactly?

  • More than some nefarious corpo, I think this is more an evolution of the same problem that existed before AI was popular.

    Some people realised that their credibility as a job candidate was tied on a very surface level to their GitHub profile, so they sought to optimise it. They started going to cool projects and proposing absolutely stupid merge requests, like “replace single quotes with double quotes in README.md” or “improved spacing in this sentence” in the hopes that the developers would go “well why not”, so they could show that they contributed to tensorflow or redis or what have you. Already years ago, a lot of FLOSS projects were plagued by spam PRs.

    Now coming up with absolutely stupid reasons to issue a PR is a tedious job and you have a very fierce competition of people doing the same thing as you, so… why not gain the edge with AI?

  • Ok, unpopular take here:

    Based Russia, we should all be doing this - and extend it to all the junk we import from China that we have to replace every year instead of only buying once, flooding them with money and sending local production out of business.

    Just because Russia is a terrorist state that doesn’t deserve their sovereignty and should receive the 1945 axis treatment, it doesn’t mean that they can’t do one right thing once in a blue moon. This is it.

  • What an enlightening read, I enjoyed it through and through.

    I am a bit confused though, as my car is electric and fucking my charging port somehow doesn’t feel as safe.

  • Oh thanks for schooling me on figures of speech, completely missing the point of my comment.

    You know sir, you are a man. Just like Trump, Jeffrey dahmer and Hitler. Just saying, food for thought out there. Being very smart here, don’t get upset at my simile if you can.

  • Ah, misread. Sorry, I’m tired.

    By all means, do all the similes you want. This one is as stupid as my RuPaul one though, so please don’t be upset if you get called out.

  • Oh yes, 100% with you in that.

    We can talk about this stuff without dragging in Russia. “We are not that different” is one of their propaganda pillars, let’s not do them any favours.

  • A smile? Was the post supposed to be ironic and I missed it? If so I’m relieved.

    I’m not angry, I’m just appalled at the stupidity of even comparing USA and Russia on the basis of rich people having power, as if that’s something of a novelty rather than how societies have been for the past few millennia.

    Not saying it’s fair or anything, just that it’s a stupid argument.

    Let’s all hate on RuPaul’s drag race! They put so much effort in how they dress, like you know who else? THE NAZIS
