You realize these numbers are meaningless right? Even if you assumed there isn't some Elon "like multiplier" being applied to these numbers, the amount of bot activity on X is staggering. You have no idea how many humans are

So instead of using diplomacy to ensure Iran stopped short of acquiring nukes - which had been effective - the US preemptively has attacked them, disrupting the region, killing civilians... to continue to prevent them from getting nukes.

Exactly. The (real) issues were ultimately disregarded even if they were correctly identified. My assumption is that it was too expensive to actually release at the time. It wasn't good enough for anybody to pay to use it yet, and it

In most wars, everybody loses. The best Iran could hope for given its inevitable defeat by a far superior aggressor was to deny the invader any kind of spoils. And by those standards they seem to be succeeding. So now we have a pointless wa

The 12 D chess explanation, people still believe this? This whole thing is a debacle. Trump was manipulated by his betters into engaging a war he doesn't understand at all [0], and while flailing he just reached for the most insane thr

I believe it's the second half of parent's comment that is doing the heavy lifting. A 9-0 ruling written by Clarence Thomas which puts basic human rights (internet access) above civil liability - try asking a chatbot to find m

Yep. Impressive toys, but not useful day to day. There's some market for b2b I'm sure, but as a consumer facing product it's tough to see how it could ever come close to paying for itself.

The problem for an also-ran app store is that you need every user you can find. Linux support may not be a huge deal in the overall market (although it's growing due to the steam os devices) but it's just one more element to Steam

Their key insight is that you don't have to manufacture consent when so many voters just love the guy in the White House and will stand by him no matter what. Why waste time convincing anybody of anything, when support for the war will

EGS doesn't even have a Linux version. Steam is always going to be my first choice because Linux support is better. If I buy on Steam I know it's going to work.

Having somebody less incompetent, senile, and corrupt at the helm may not make things "magically go back to normal," but it's a step in the right direction. Necessary but not sufficient. Perhaps you'll be explicit though

Yes this is I think the key thing... the "rising tide raises all boats" strategy. The deal was, if you play by the US rules and let their corporations in, they'll leave you alone or even give you back something useful in retu

So give me a way to completely disable this nonsense via ADB. This is hot garbage. Eliminating third party app stores like F-Droid defeats the whole purpose many of us even bother running Android instead of locked down Apple stuff.

The US was historically self-interested in empire building, with an excellent PR campaign in front of it, but... it also did useful and good stuff, both for its allies and for unrelated parties. USAID was a testament to this. PR spin aside,

This should be trivial if you have proper API documentation in something like swagger. You can generate a cli tool with no "figuring out" anything either.

It really does feel like the tech right has disappeared over the last year, at least as a more grass roots thing outside of the actual billionaires themselves. The early crypto and tax victories were presumably the impetus for many, and tha

To be clear, I'm not saying you can't (or shouldn't) review the results, only that you can (and should) give the harness the ability to do everything it needs to function without hitting permission barriers that need to be ma

Yep, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. It's far easier to undo the 1% of the time they fuck up in a serious way than it is to manually audit and allow an the routine stuff. The key is to only give them access to thin

If you're solving problems rails is best at, it's borderline magical. The troubles arise when you get to huge codebases or complicated frontend patterns that aren't ideal for SSR / hotwire. Also, it's impossible to

It's quite a gap really. I'll say this, coding agents make the lack of a "batteries included" framework like rails or Django somewhat less daunting. But "convention over code" and having a default structure &#x
