Only Ukraine can sue for peace, and they've stated quite openly that they will not give Russia the land they occupy. Trump's admin can negotiate whatever they want behind closed doors, but Ukrainian leadership has no obligation to listen. Trump doesn't have the leverage he would like with NATO starting to well up the bases of European support.

When America pulls the vig from countries that need it, they don't turn around and correct their course. We've been trying to strongarm Pakistan to do the right thing for 4 decades now, and all we've gotten in return is an accelerated nuclear focus and an experimental ICBM program. If we let these "sins of the father" situations fester, then they turn around to China or Russia for help instead. American leadership simply doesn't realize the value of globalism right now.

Jack Dorsey is certifiably insane. His obsession with cryptocurrency is a warning to anyone that throws away success to live as a crypto maxi. You will lose the only things that matter to you in life, your business will be taken away from you by shareholders if you own one. Your control will be hated by users that accuse you of trying to ruin the internet with NFT profile pictures and crypto tickers. Many users outright left as a consequence, others would leave after the takeover. But Dorsey set the stage for the enshittification of Twitter, and anyone that's forgotten that should face the music.

Web5, no matter who utters it, is a phrase that means nothing. A person walking on the street would not be able to define it for you. Me, a programmer, cannot define it for you or even explain what it looks like. It is a marketing term as applied to Free Software, which will alienate Free Software users and disgust/confuse common people. If you cannot find a better phrase to describe your philosophy then people will forever associate you with the myriad grifters that shared your "Web(n)" branding.

Of course, that's a facetious argument that sane people don't make. But here we are, trying to use that logic to demonize people who resist colonial genocide.

*shrug* golden rule and all that

Please, don't just mark posts as dupes after seeing a title that looks familiar. This is not a duplicate submission.

You will be disappointed if you demand that federal employees reciprocate the consequences that Silicon Valley workers face. They have job security for much different reasons than a SpaceX or FAANG employee.

Don't stare too long, you'll go blind.

Politicians didn't lay off those people, businesses did. If you think they need to be punished, then you boycott them or regulate their behavior. You're taking vengeance on the wrong people while letting the real perpetrator get away.

Buddy, here's the straight dope. If you're mad that teenage pregnancies are going down on average, you literally lack the basic empathy required to comment on the internet. Log off, you are just too unintelligent to contribute to this discussion.

If you're not trolling then I am seriously worried that you are autistic or mentally disabled and may not know it. This is outrageous behavior and I've seen you repeat this psychopathic bullshit for years now. Do you live in the real world? Do you have healthy relationships with family members or friends that share these ridiculous principles with you? It defies normalcy.

I remember 2 years ago, part of HN was dead-to-rights convinced Elon wrote the source code because he claimed to know C++. People will find whatever evidence they can to support these largest-common-denominator theories.

Have you read the EULA and TOS they made you sign? Very often companies do reserve the right to automatically enroll you in a new equivalent service after voiding your lifetime license.

This is ultimately one of those things you just have to prepare for whenever relying on paid software.

This is pathetic. You cannot strong-arm an ally with diplomacy, and evidently America realized that after trying to take something off the table that America needs more than Ukraine.

Events like this are living proof of why American aid is wasted when we precondition it on political agreement with an extremist administration.

Yep, this account is going straight to my "Too Dumb for Hacker News" OPML file.

Linus' comment towards Nvidia was not made from the perspective of a business, either. He was lamenting that their drivers are nonfree and that their desktop support was lazy. Neither of those things matter to 99% of businesses that are using Nvidia hardware for AI compute. Also, both aren't strictly true anymore in 2025 as Nvidia officially supports Wayland now and technically has "Open" drivers.

Why? I use it for both and it is expressly excellent at them. With configuration and automation frameworks on top like NixOS or k8s, you can build just about anything.

We always lose something when evolving, that's okay. You can keep living in whatever way you want to, as long as it doesn't disrupt the liberty of another person. If you're mad that the world embraced secularity over spiritualism, or that men aren't fist-fighting for resources, blame yourself for not modernizing. Without any serious examples, your comment basically just reads like a trad dogwhistle.
