Well as we all know the political will in this country seems to generally be "let's all commit suicide together", but perhaps mass installations of solar will provide material reason to improve conditions somewhat.

It's just further evidence capital is replacing our humanity, no biggie

Perhaps. This seems somewhat suicidal of a corruption scheme for the leader of a country. Surely there must be easier ways to personally profit than making an international embarrassment of the country—every other country on earth manages t

Is there a particular reason to take any state account of anything at all at face value? At some point you either have to accept to play the game or reject all news. In this case, it fits squarely in with American foreign policy, especially

Yes. I work with teenagers and young adults teaching them how to program, both directly and as a support skill. These are bright young people who can work through problems with enough time—but LLMs allow them through these problems in a min

Are you suggesting that the AfD is not popular? > Workers at US-tech companies are responsible for the unchecked bombardment of our citizens with propaganda and fake news. They're also responsible for the propaganda and fake news ta

I suspect many republicans are much more pro-socialism than they realize if you don't use the term socialism .

Lobby to shut down social media that doesn't encourage real life interaction. I honestly think things will keep getting worse until we unplug them.

Well, that may be true, although I didn't intend to imply any causal relationship at all. My point is I don't see the general situation in Europe (or the anglosphere) as much improved, just.... less advanced.

Sure. Money isn't everything. A broader concern is that many european countries have similar problems like housing costs and a rising far-right without any better solution. And besides, these sky-high wages won't last for long wit

Man, I just want to code from a more relaxing neck angle. I don't think all this is going to be very useful for that. I'm sure these ideas will be useful for something, but.... people have been talking about minority report for de

I've been trying to research drone navigation tech from what we have learned so far from the russian/ukraine war. I'm very much not a hardware guy but software by itself has been feeling kind of useless or even crueler than u

I thought Corbyn started his own party? Surely they have time to figure out a way to look more competent than Starmer of all people

If you wouldn't upload keys to github, why would you trust them to cursor?

Maybe that's a strong element, but I think we are simply too addicted to comfort and our way of life. We've been encouraged to "just vote" for so long we've lost all political muscle.

Then you're stuck with the C stack, though, and no way to collect garbage.

> C is the patrician's choice. Is this suppose to be a positive thing? I thought we all wanted to violently murder the patricians. Regardless, C might be a valid IR. I apologize for being bigoted.

Why not compile to rust or assembly? C seems like an odd choice. In fact why not simply write rust to begin with?

This seems like a concern specific to people who want to use windows. I don't know what pin means.

Can you explain what a thinkpad is?

by GrowingSideways 9mo ago
Gnome is still a windows knockoff yea? Can you use readline bindings in a textfield? Edit: I mean, usable text fields. Like you have on a mac. You hit control-a and it goes to the start of the field. The command key is for interacting with

> I find that it is quite a pleasant operating system! Pleasant compared to what? Older versions of windows? linux, or macs? This is the first positive review I've ever heard.

Yes, at the cost of dragging people into subscription software. Fuck off

What do you mean by "objectively"? This smells like pinker-esque spinelesness. Like a "you can buy a smartphone if you ignore the world is dying" tone. Yes, you can buy a smartphone. But most of what makes us care for ea

What makes you think wealth inequality doesn't cause despair? Despair strikes me as the expected and desired effect.

Can you interpret this comment for those of us that haven't used windows? All i can recall from "vista" is that it looked good

by GrowingSideways 9mo ago
Eh. Most costs that matter scale to relative wealth, and the cost scales accordingly, and we have more homeless people than any rich country on earth, and we have no community worth a damn—we have snap, medicaid, and section 8, and our kind
