I am pretty sure he thought volunteering for the Department of Government Efficiency was an attempt to do this

I get the impression his past ideology looked down on that kind of volunteering, this is someone who thinks working for DOGE (department of government efficiency) is a humanitarian action.

tbh it sounds much more like he wants to be viewed as a saviour than actually improve anything significant to me. "what I actually wanted was to look like Elon" feels like he's getting very close to grasping something fundame

I'm amazed he didn't even seem to entertain it as an option. It's quite unusual because even a total narcissist would eventually land on philanthropy as an ego-trip

Perhaps I missed something, but from what I saw none of his attempts to do something new seemed to involve any kind of genuine efforts to improve the lives of others... Bit amazing that wasn't even something he would consider.

How much of this is due to them not visiting and how much is due to the change in dynamics though? Think it's conceivable them not wanting to see the baby early on or in the hospital might suggest a fairly critical divergence of intere

"By the time I was 16, I had been to five or six funerals" May be an Irish specific thing but I probably had been to 16 by the time I was five or six.

Hah! It's upvoted now but I was really confused by it too tbh and I usually am not; guessing it was either less coherent than I thought and/or someone misread it entirely.

RE: stars and DL counts, I'd say the best measure is checking the creator's other repos, their number of followers and the issue churn rate. Stars can be useful but only as a very rough process of elimination. If the project appea

Resale value is probably a better metric, if it's $130 new and $100 second hand while the other one is $100 new and sub-$50 second hand that'll be a fairly good sign that it at least works. It's still not 100% but it'd a

Expands beyond that really, people assume they need more than they do. A TV stuffed with features sounds great even if they'd prefer a TV that does the bare minimum but takes less than a minute to start up An SUV because of the one tim

I'm not sure Threads ever had that much of a spike in usage beyond the first day of new accounts. Got the impression a huge number of people curious about it signed up due to the very easy onboarding if you already had an instagram, lo

"It wasn't until the post-9/11 mobile revolution and normies embracing the internet (late 2000s) that things took a hard turn for the worse" I think this doesn't leave enough blame at more technical people embracing

Out of curiosity, assuming some companies which embraced hotdesking in the last few years have also since implemented some form of return to office mandate, has it come along with dedicated desks for each person? I don't mind a few day

I think there's much bigger deviations from long term stability the closer you get to a GUI as things deviate further from ideals into brute force hacks for stuff to look right. Can remember trying to update a Unity project so it'

node-sass is to blame for like 95% of these node-gyp issues in my experience, it's not that much grief to deal with but it's hard to grasp how it was allowed to hang around so terribly for so long

What bitrates are you using? I see practically no difference between v0 and anything above that on most things but sub 192kbps it can be very evident. I feel like a lot of the FLAC people have a hardcoded bias from the Limewire days that&#x

I hadn't used Java since my first year of programming and didn't want to spend too long on it. As it was basically a game modding tool I just wanted a jar that works on a wide variety of devices because that's what I'm u

I made a tool in Java recently where I was expecting relatively untechnical people to wind up using. Decided to check if there was a version of Java already on a Windows 10 tablet I've had but not really used and it had 8 on it so I de

The issue is that a huge chunk of journalists have been horrifically addicted to Twitter from long before Musk's time. Realistically everyone in that field should've bailed the second subscribers got bumped to the top of replies a

Bill Clinton got elected as president with 43% of the vote. The US system with more than two parties would have the exact same issues. Here's an election in the SDP split largely from Labour; the result was ultimately the Conservatives

by JansjoFromIkea 2y ago
I'll accept that, sorry and thanks for clarifying. To be clear voting third party in anything close to a swing state rather than whoever you feel is the lesser of two evils is not something I would do. I don't think third party vo

by JansjoFromIkea 2y ago
Yep, but it actually breaks the UK system to have more than two parties so the existence of two parties there isn't actually a very good alternative. There's a lot of seats in the most recent election where the Conservative party

not necessarily, I just wanted to give an example of the kind of measures that would be required to handle multiple parties that people might already know.

I'm not, Ross Perot played a big part in getting Clinton elected so it'd be weird for them to take issue with him. More recently the democrats blamed 2000 on Nader running third party on the assumption that all of his votes would&

What is the 25% figure coming from? Not disputing it, just curious. Unable to give US equivalents but I think the price increases were pretty significant on the lower end and less so the higher you go up. Until a few years ago it was possib

Ralph Nader is a better reference point for the dems shutting down the possibility of a third party candidate
