All my life ive heard this, yelled at me by deeply anti democratic anti socials. People voted for trumps policies. Again, yes even after jan 6. Better luck next time, but for 4 years this is what they ordered.

ICE going after fraud and illegals. Voted for.

Closed borders. Voted for.

Isolationist imperialism and a end of the western free trade world order.Voted for.

A loose Canon. Voted for.

A screeching social priest caste driven ou the door. Voted for.

The people have spoken and the reject progressive policies (more accurately they dont care, but reject the package it comes in). Se la vi.

Trump has a ton of work todo before he reaches the starting point of the mullahs. 12000 dead in 3 days. Thats ice shooting 8 people trying to run them over every day. Politics has not platform here, including rejected by the masses cosplay revolutionaries hijacking real disasters. Do something good, help iranian civilization recover.

"Have you considered Copilot as your personal lord and retirements saviour?" These unwanted product pitches have something cultist and unsettling. Like all voices of reason have been removed the echo chamber diving bell is so sealed that the CEO blogs to ge to hear some sort of pushback. Time to serve the cool aid.

Stackoverflow bureaucracy and rule mongering are insane. I recommend participation just to behold the natives in their biom. Its like a small european union laser focused on making asking snd answering a question the largest pain point of a site that is mainly about asking and answering questions.
They want to go full chain gang? Or is that some futile machismo bravado?

Objectively it wastes developer time making the OS in a non linear way more expensive for companies. Its like a minthly subscription for ever more minutes.
Re:2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop on Friday January 02, 2026 @08:25PM (#46471762)
Saw a fascinating talk on gui and ui development today, lamenting the stagnation at M$ and apple when it comes to desktop computing (including browsing).

" there simply is nothing for open source to copy but ux-decline" and that sentence rings like a bell of all the problems.

Worrying about foodsins and sacred purity rituals with superfoods, air- and waterfilters are just existentialism anti anxiety religions. This field of science could have been several millions fatherOurs..

The narrowing of free speech and the declaration as hate speech, insanity or "backwardness" was a routine process in the USSR. You have private NGOs tracking and harassing speech that is still within the law in europe, while state actors support hate speech pushed by foreign actors. Its bad.

Take the use of taxes in fraud to buy votes en mass in michigan by the almost vice president. Or keir starmer just ignoring crimes comitted by his voting clientele. Its soviet block level bad out there.

Israel is surrounded by a ocean of minority genociding imperialist islamo supremacists using proxies and petrodollars to subvert the umbilical keeping it alive. Up to and including pushing narratives about a genocide that never happened.

It has ever right to be worried and frankly seeing how much activist media and the west republished terrorist propaganda.. they are right.

I think google of all companies could build a good autostripper reducing binaries by adding partial load assembly on misses. It cant be much slower then shovelling a full monorepo assembly plus symbols into ram.

He has a loaded lawyer and is not afraid to use him. The world is filled with economic traps like this. All the economic advantages gained by the commoner, would unravel by one risk of harm coming for the driver and the company.
Imagine you have to communicate that rewrite and drop of support for bought "addons" to the people who went on that shopping spree. Who then would have to explain the "wecan"-value drop + cost of recovery of the same abilities to the shareholders and customers. The magpiesnest of bought companies tech is a tarbaby for any tech lead, the rewrite a career ender for the CEOs office.
Re:Say No to Palantir in the NHS on Sunday December 28, 2025 @03:50AM (#46409519)
They are the only ones who can really do predictions on a policy level. Ever since the post "they will just embrace liberty" ideology disaster that was the iraq-war mining of the cellphones aka palantirs for behavioural data has given some pretty gnarly insights to what mankind can do and cant do. None of this "We shall just degrowth and life in harmony with nature" or "all cultures can equally well form lawfull societies" nonsense. And if you have the knowledge about what a thing can and cant do, you can package it into a simulator and sell predictions to policymakers. Predictions & policies like : "Let refugeewaves in and the idealistic-retarded movements will poison themselves, wither and die".
Another dying regime , its capital without water due to missmsnagement, its proxies defeated by a much smaller enemy, its population majority in open rebellion. Imagine this islamic revolution thing is all you do and you are bad at it. There is defeat,like loosing a war, and then there is self crippling to the point of being unable to recover in the forseeable future, aka civilization ending defeat.
Thanks
