How is "Microsoft" as a company now different from the US as a "government"?

This is what "technocracy" is, right? And "corporatism"?

because it's only russia that is invading other countries, throwing nuclear bombs, destroying once functioning countries. russia, russia, russia. im tired!!

Valid reasons! What alternative however could they consider to NATO? So to protect their own interests, Sweden's and Finland's, they need to join a, to my eyes, warmongering organization.
Software programming rule #1: "Never fix bugs at their root cause." (joking, of course!!)
Me as a European software engineer, understanding tech stuff well, but not American politics, what's the problem with the Republicans? Why would you prefer the other party, Democrats (right?) do the origin research instead?

I'd love to know the reason why they want to join! I would assume through some sort of pressure, but I am only guessing now.

you are putting NATO in a very nice light, which to my eyes it doesn't deserve. there are many example for it of breaking international laws, i.e. in Cosovo.

it helps breaking down the world in black and white to understand complex matters, but I wouldn't exactly paint the NATO white.

For me it does make tones of sense as I, as a European, have understood that NATO is not a peace bringing organization. They _are_ interested and motivated by war. NATO is not my friend.

In these days of civilization which country and which cross-country organizations are _not_ running "special military operations"??
Where does NSA get the money from to hire thousands (=multiple 1000s) of big tech workers? How comes big tech is laying them off but NSA can afford to hiring them, in the thousands?

> It doesn’t need any New World Order conspiracy either.

NWO is not a conspiracy theory any longer. This exact terminology is openly used by many politicians now, demanding for a NWO. Depending which bubble you live in, you have not seen any or only too little such speeches.

Believing main-stream media when they would say "conspiracy theory".
Re:Is using GraphQL a good option for building an MVP? on Sunday January 29, 2023 @12:51PM (#34570623)
If your main data source is a relational data model, that is tables with relations to each other, I give a strong yes: GraphQL is a very good option. Alternatively consider supabase which provides similar time savers when mainly dealing with relational data.

And there's also a `.DS_Store` in every folder of that 40 years old software code. How futuristic!
Re:Lisa Source Code Release on Thursday January 19, 2023 @04:36PM (#34445950)
The ZIP file contains two folders:

  1. Lisa_Source
  2. __MACOSX
Looks they already planned for macOS/X 40 years ago! That is, macOS/X is much older than we thought! What an archeological sensation!!!
