This feels like a cheap throwaway after he shut the border to asylum seekers. Just papering over his own little fascist border policy

it is: he’s been taking pointless and ineffectual actions like this since he started his presidential campaign to cover for the racist, homophobic and classist bullshit he’s done in his 53 year long career and i’m dumbfounded by how well it works every time i see it plastered all over the lemmyverse .

I wonder if younger millennials’ and Gen z’s overwhelming preference for iPhones over Androids is indicative anything in the future

up until now i hated that people cocooned themselves up too much from other people’s plight; your comment made me realize that they’re merely overindulging in something pleasant, as i do.

i’m convinced that creating echo chamber cocoons are the reason why things are so fucked rn.

they’ve got almost every single monied interest behind them; the last times that the stars lined up like that for anything we got this and another country that have lasted the last few centuries.

git rebase doesn’t work?

i’m assuming that command line means bash; in which case jq and regex are your friends.

they’re not reasons; they’re excuses and parroting them only serves to legitimize those excuses to those who don’t bother to pay attention.

okay Ivan; go back to the gulag before putin puts you there. lol

yes, those subsidies are much more important that climate change and there’s no way that we subsidize and bail out our own auto industries and definitely not multiple times with zero strings attached.

same here and i think my parents got good at sticking with a groove because they had a family of 7 to feed, cloth, and house; meanwhile i have only had pets that don’t grow up to be shitty self entitled tweens.

my first was windows for workgroups 3.11 with msdos 6.22 back in 1994; later upgraded to windows 95.

my first linux as mandrake linux (aka mandriva) in 2002 on kernel 2. i use linux fulltime now and no longer own a windows computer.

primarily because both context switching and progress builds upon itself so stopping & switching has more impact than those 5 or 10 minutes suggests. (ie. you can stop a car from rolling down the hill with just one finger if you do it early enough but in reverse).

also standup meetings have a way of getting longer and covering more ground that what was initially planned for. (ie meeting mission creep)

I need 4 years of education and 5+ years of experience to work as an engineer to give people something to look at on their phones.

Police need 6 months of training to make life and death decisions and they get a pension and permanent immunity when they fuck up

Why not reach out to reach to each team member on a daily or semi daily basis to ask that question?

These meetings REALLY get in the way of progress and we’ve been killing it ever since our new manager started doing it like this

i suspect that most of them are reddit refugees since they push so hard for an echo chamber against viewpoints they don’t like

they also approved gay marriage and socialized medicine before we did & do

i think it’s more about a social media network that allows unfettered anti-gaza-genocide viewpoint sharing; but that’s definitely part of it too.

that’s why i started buying from linux only companies only; it removes that headache automatically.

my most recent purchase came from kfocus. i cared mostly about price, screen brightness, speaker quality and future proofing, so the macbook air was the price & spec combo benchmark to meet (future proofing is automatic with linux companies) and kfocus’s 14-inch blew them out of the water (they don’t anymore). the other companies wouldn’t share information on brightness and speakers at the time i was shopping for a new laptop almost a year ago; but all are built on top of either tongfang or clevo base systems (for now) so future proofing is roughly the same everywhere with linux companies.

in the past i used system76 and tuxedo (tuxedo sponsored that video); i will buy from them again when it’s time for a high end system. their low end systems are REALLY low, but the price tags for them are closer to midrange somehow; their low end laptops costed the same as the kfocus but with much weaker & missing specs. (i assumed that they didn’t share the missing specs because they were too weak).
