It’s so simple to see how extremely bad this would be.

You mean even worse than it already is

That SCOTUS ruling about potus’ powers should never have happened in the first place.

DeepSeek the software is open source.

Please, government of the USA, do not bail them* out. At least not any more than what you’re already giving them.

the fuck’s an “activist investor”? No, I read the article and clicked the link, it’s some “activist investment company”, which still leaves the question open. Maybe I should ask “What the fuck is activist investing”?

Unbelievable.

I can already see cartoons about soldiers at war, with jammed guns, having to call customer support, who say things like “have you tried turning it off and on again”.

Sounds like what these idiots did during Jan6.

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.

It might take a while, but we will get you all.

‘shocked the state’

Sure they had a nice moralistic speech prepared for whichever part of the execution process they broadcasted. (edit: nationally ofc)

As if the CPC didn’t understand the concept of bribery.

Pretty sure that’s already happening 🍻

I guess as a user I just don’t want all my apps to open a tab in my browser. I want to move apps between virtual desktops and monitors independently and I don’t want my app’s window to be clattered by all the menus from my browser.

All this is already possible with most browsers.

All major browsers can do this - with the exception of running something in the background I guess. But that is exactly the sort of usage scenario where an Electron app is the worst choice. Coding a separate utility with no GUI would be the sane thing to do here, not put whole browser stacks into memory.

It’s because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it.

Just use the website then? There already is a suitable browser installed on every system. But no, must have apps. Makes it easier to stop people from having opinions about data collection and such. And the full browser stack needs to be fully reproduced each time. It gets really ridiculous when these apps sit idly in the notification area. Not to speak of security implications because electron apps and such usually don’t get timely updates.

No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.

It’s funny; on Linux such devices work perfectly but many users complain that they “aren’t supported” because there’s no UI (that sits uselessly in your notification area and eats memory).

If AI is truly an intelligence

And as of 2025 and the foreseeable future, that is where that argument ends.

I am not a Luddite.

doG, I can so relate to this.

The opposition (politically or socially, conversationally) will always try to put you in the extreme opposite corner of whatever they oppose about you. Be it “socialist dreamer” instead of real market economy with social policy, or this. What happened to meeting in the middle? It seems online polarization has made it into our everyday minds.

…through illegal electrical connections.

“The results of the TNB review found that the estimated loss due to the electricity theft case at the premises was RM22,744 and the police arrested a 60-year-old local man and seized 30 bitcoin mining machines and a TP-Link modem unit.

“The case is being investigated under Section 37(1) of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 and Section 427 of the Penal Code and the police are conducting a thorough investigation including tracking down the suspects involved in the case,” he said in a statement today.

How could they vote for him twice? And slowly, partially wake up to what they voted for, a year after the fact, even though the writing was on the wall for almost a decade? Rhetorical questions. I’m pretty sure I heard all answers.

Four years is a long time to fuck up a lot of things, many of them terminally. It is something to despair over.

My empathy.

They also just changed the free admission days from Juneteenth to Donny’s b-day. It would be grotesque if it wasn’t so sad and enraging.

Every single incident needs to be documented, recorded, reported, stored safely.

Every single incident needs to be documented, recorded, reported, stored safely.

OK, this makes it even worse. Bit like the nonexistent WMD in Iraq. How many Iraqis had to die for that.

But it wouldn’t heave been OK if the boat was on its way to the USA, either. Even if it was loaded with “drugs”, with intent to sell.

Comedy Of Errors

A beautiful euphemism. We could apply it to all of the USA’s current admin and its activities.
