  • I can attest to this from personal experience. I once worked on a product that I designed in Canada. All the parts were manufactured in China. The only thing done in the US was putting in the five screws to hold it all together. That was enough to earn it a cute little stars and stripes sticker.

  • Everything we buy from the US is made in China anyway, so we're just cutting out the middleman.

    If we can eliminate US IP protection next then we can build our own technology and do away with them completely.

  • This album is fantastic!

  • Check out Audacious which supports Winamp skins.

  • When I was growing up I was told capitalism was great because we all get a high standard of living and had lots of inexpensive stuff to buy. Look at how poor Russians were during the Soviet era!

    Now I'm being told that to sustain capitalism I need to live like a Soviet era Russian.

  • There are lots if people new to Lemmy and not everyone is aware of what really happens on the large platforms. Maintaining awareness is a good thing I think. Especially for new users it can affirm a choice to leave those platforms.

  • Don't worry. Everyone knows that under capitalism anyone can open a shop to compete with lower prices for a slice of that pie.

  • This is clearly a global conspiracy orchestrated by GabeN to make the Steam Machine look better!

  • Unfortunately I didn't clone the repository before it was taken down.

  • They recently put together a list of software that was built using AI and a bunch of AI people didn't take too kindly to it. The list has since been taken down and Kat has decided to take a break from open source software.

    Most of the people on the list seemed pretty reasonable and were engaging in conversation about it. But emotions did begin to flare a bit and things got a bit out of hand. There are some conversations on Bluesky you might be able to find, but I think Kat also removed their account so the conversations might appear very one-sided.

    It's a very unfortunate outcome I feel. There are people on both sides of the debate whom I respect, Kat included.

  • And when someone like Kat Marchán tried to raise awareness they get chased off the internet because an LLM did something OK a couple times.

  • Very much so. I bet most of those people have never run an open source project or business, but they all have an opinion.

    Pretty sad to hear this though since I really like Tailwind. I wonder how many other projects this vibe coding bullshit will harm. So sad to see more wealth being concentrated instead of being distributed.

  • Fuck off lil PP.

    With all the damage Cons are doing, I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that this "socialism" the Cons keep attacking is actually the good guys.

  • Bumi looks to be concocting some mischief. Possibly a slide to get down from there! 😁

  • Since Cons generally seem to support Russian aggression in Ukraine and Israeli aggression in Palestine, they'd have to support the Canadian army retaking Alberta, right? Especially if Canada captures Alberta for oil! Ain't nothing more conservative than that!

  • Stronger than never ever before!

  • .clone() everything!

    I do kind of agree in a way though. Rust forces you to think a bit about memory and the language does tend to guide towards good design. But it's not magic and it's easy to write inefficient Rust too. Especially if you just clone everything. But I personally find Rust to be a good mix of low level control that feels sufficiently high level.

    Garbage collected languages can be memory efficient too though. Having easily shared references is great!
