Need to be VAT registered, too. I have no idea how much extra effort that involves.

Neither - it’s a weird/annoying religious ‘army’ that knocks on your door waaaay too early on Sunday morning to harras you. The UKs Mormons in other words.

If you do that, you will just split the vote, giving Republicans another win. I’m not sure if your democracy will survive thus term, but another… forget it.

Nvidia made money, but I’ve not seen OpenAI do anything useful, and they are not even profitable.

Tram tracks are my second biggest nightmare after car doors!

I thought these things were a bit dumb, then I figured out that the fatter tires make riding on the cobble stones that are common in my city more comfortable. I still don’t want one, but I see that they have their place.

Yeah, but at least we saved Gazza.

And I include his enablers who banged on about Gazza. If your actions get a facist elected, you are a facist.

I fear the Yuan will take over if it happens at all.

Just one more lane…

Even a country formed by survivors of the last round is engaging in genocide.

The electorate swung solidly right, giving Trump the popular vote. Much as I’d like a more left-wing administration in the US, the evidence does not support the theory that a left leaning campaign would have helped. The US apparently wants an authoritarian government, and it got it.

This is not just the US either - globally we are shifting rapidly to authoritarian regimes. In my own UK where the center left (at best) Labour won the election, but only because the right wing parties were split by FPTP. The Tories elected a far right leader last week and got derided for it, but for them, it’s absolutely the right move, and the next election will likely deliver a far right Tory or Tory/Reform coalition. For reference, Labour got less votes than the previous election that they lost in a land slide.

Same where I currently live, Germany, and my fiancé’s France.

Dark times are ahead. Prepare for the worst.

Your campaign against Harris only helped Trump. I’m not sure what is hard to understand here. I hope you keep safe, but this is an outcome you literally fought for.

Why not support OpenSuse instead of starting from scratch? Mature, EU based, enterprise ready… it checks all the boxes IMHO.

My crazy theory: if he wins and then gets sent to jail, the republicans won’t rescue him. Why? Well, he was useful to win the election, but he’s got no idea how to run a country, far less of an idea how to implement Project 2025. Vance, on the other hand, seems competent enough to actually deliver…

The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

I really don’t get this. I know where my parents and grandparents came from. Should I care if I have Irish or African blood? It baffles me that anyone does. How would that information would change my life? We should be judged by our actions, not by the origin of our distant ancestors.

Sounds like she failed successfully!

They bang on about free speech… but apparently not that free…
