I went 4.2 -> 6 once and it was horrible. Everything since then has been easy. Upgrade struggl’n are simply no longer an issue.
This is a petulant fucking baby-ass child argument. You’re an op or a fool.
https://amarkfoundation.org/reports/u-s-presidents-and-the-f..., though you could just google the topic and click exactly any link, clearly shows that Republican admins grow the deficit, Democratic admins shrink it.

These are just straight up numbers increasing or decreasing. It’s not complicated shit. Quit equivocating.

Or something similar enough to what you wanted that you don’t notice it’s a different thing. That’s awful.
Why even ask the question?

You’re being weird.
It’s the software. Definitely. We been making bombs for a while now. They used to toss them out the side of biplanes. Oddly, your second paragraph immediately undermines the first.

> Presumably, the world used dumb munitions without any software for a long time.

What do you think “presumably” is accomplishing here? Are you unsure, but willing to assume for purpose of the discussion, that bombs preceded computers?

I have to imagine the whole thing is this lazy.

Y’all cowards always implying. Say the thing you think. Just say it. I’ll start: I think getting upset by a pronouns dropdown is literal homophobia, in that y’all are so scared, worried, and bothered by thinking about gay shit that you’re installing software about it.

It’s weak. Y’all are weak.

I see that it changes the menu bar icon to indicate status. How is this communicated when windows are full screen and the menu bar isn’t visible?

This is some high level meaningless corpo speak.

Re:Grok 4.6 on Thursday August 13, 2026 @12:04AM (#49281678)
No one is saying it is currently happening, you goof. Remigration is an idea proposed by identitarian assholes like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Sellner, author of a book called Remigration, who Musk has promoted in tweets.

It is not currently happening, but the richest man in the world is among those actively working to make it happen.

Again, you types confidently misunderstand a discussion and make fools of yourselves.

> Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing[1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration

It’s right there at the top. One google search is all it takes. You didn’t even, for a second, think to familiarize yourself with the remigration concept. You jumped immediately to me being wrong, even though I was discussing something you were ignorant of. That’s embarrassing.

Re:Grok 4.6 on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @12:11PM (#49274697)
It’s opinions are actively steered by a man who promotes the great replacement theory, white genocide, and remigration which is the mass forced deportation of non-whites.
Re:Grok 4.6 on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @12:09PM (#49274658)
Someone in another comment thread whataboutism’d a Chinese LLM. This isn’t a good gotcha. Musk has amplified the concept of “remigration” which is the forced deportation of non-whites. He would have me violently removed. I do not need to contextualize my decision within possible ethical quandaries.
It’s wild to, in a thread about an unusual number of suicides among a branch of government doing secret stuff, say that folks talking about that secret stuff would be a good idea.

I am absolutely not saying that is what’s happening here, suicide of folks put in stressful situations is to be taken seriously. But like… c’mon guy, surely this exact premise has been a direct-to-Amazon-Video release.

They uh… they were open. They were open before we started bombing. We bomb because we bombed. As a consequence of us murdering we are murdering.

> "American" is a label for a group of consumers living within a defined border, who want to get their oil and foreign goods shipped to that location.

Holy shit.

The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.

What Hanami brings is an intentional and well-reasoned architecture that supports building maintainable applications. It has taste.
Re:Hanami 3.0: In Full Bloom on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @02:30PM (#48751250)
Hanami is quite nice. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it in anger but I have had a crush on it for a while now.

I really do hope ROM-rb, the not-orm Hanami uses, gets some development love as a consequence of this more formal merger. It’s a rad tool with enough rough edges that I had to switch away from it when launching a product a few years ago.

DRM-less on Apple is fairly useless in that the file isn’t exportable or readily found in your filesystem.

By the very definition you can buy them and send them to whoever you want. Just, you know, don’t read it yourself and you’ve done it.
