  • rebrand labor camps as soft prisons

    Not ironic enough. My money is on "freedom camps". After all, work makes you free, as the saying goes.

  • Nah, raising a shitload of money fast for tax breaks to pay off the billionaires who handed him the presidency is the point. Cruelty is why idiots would vote for this

  • A completely useful compulsion I have.

  • This is why eggs should be sold in packs of 15

  • Trump took the US economy to the brink of a crisis in just 100 days

  • What, you don't think he's getting rich off this?

  • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • I find it weird that there is this whole conversation about new/experienced users, and it's perhaps a problematic thing with Linux. Many people, myself included, don't give 2 shits about how their OS works. I don't want to spend my time tending to it as if it were a fucking garden. I just need it to work, so I can get on with my own stuff. No matter how "experienced" I get, that's always going to be the case. Maybe I'm just a little traumatized about this because the first Linux distro I used was Gentoo.

  • That's entirely the point of all those tariffs. Raise taxes on everybody without calling it that.

  • BREAKING: Trump Exempts Phones, Computers and More From Tariffs

    Jump

  • Sure, it's just a way to raise taxes on the public without calling it that. Upside is they bring in a lot of money quickly. Downside is they do a fuckton of irreparable damage to the US economy, the standard of living of people in the USA, and a fair bit of collateral damage to the rest of the world. But at least Elon gets his tax breaks for another couple of years so yay!

  • BREAKING: Trump Exempts Phones, Computers and More From Tariffs

    Jump

  • The funny thing is that it's supposed to stimulate US manufacturing. Like companies are going to invest years of time and billions of dollars building factories and moving production to the US, because of a tariff system that changes every 2 days.

  • That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows

    Jump

  • Yay, now when your coworkers suggest getting some sushi and you use your laptop to look up the nearest restaurant, you're going to get a paperclip pop up saying "It looks like you're trying to get back to that tentacle porn hentai you nutted to last night. Would you like help with jerking off?"

  • Trump admin considering giving $10,000 to each person in Greenland to annex the island

    Jump

  • I had a feeling he would try something like this. If you only need to convince 57 thousand people, throwing money at them is a very real option. But I never imagined he would go so cheap. 2 million dollars for every man woman and child would only cost the USA 120 billion dollars. Not a bad price for Greenland. 10k is a fucking insult.

  • GOP megadonor rages at Trump’s ‘bulls**t’ tariffs

    Jump

  • I see it more like saying his handlers ought to be handling him better. Maybe the people who Trump is supposed to serve are having trouble with that. I do hope so. If his wealthy backers turn against him, he won't last long.

  • The difference between programmers and testers

    Jump

  • If you were 4 and now you are 44 then you might be an integer variable. If sister is also a variable, we don't know when she was allocated. She might also be an integer constant in which case she's arguably immortal.

  • The difference between programmers and testers

    Jump

  • If your parents had another daughter in the meantime (or if your older brother became female), "my sister" would still be a valid reference, to a completely different person.

  • Europe goes into daylight saving time despite controversy

    Jump

  • D can also happen if the 00:45 job was before the 00:15 job, which thanks to the magic of daylight savings, is also possible

  • Europe goes into daylight saving time despite controversy

    Jump

  • I have a taxi company. On one night, one of my drivers did two jobs, one dispatched at 00:15, the other at 00:45, and he clocked off at 02:15. How long was he working for?

    A) 1 hour

    B) 2 hours

    C) 3 hours

    D) 2 hours 30 minutes

    E) any of the above

  • The Atlantic publishes full Signal chat messages showing military plans about U.S. strikes in Yemen

    Jump

  • True that. I guess the question of whether it was classified information is kind of moot now that any semblance of the rule of law has been abandoned.

  • Journalist publishes every damning text from war plans leak

    Jump

  • For any other administration, this would be a catastrophe. For the Trump administration, it's Thursday.
