I do release a Flatpak but I’m actually working against it. It’s designed for self-contained sandboxed desktop GUI applications and I’m releasing a terminal-based TUI that allows you to rampage around your machine and network. I’m passing some horrible “bad practice” flags to get it to work. Flatpak sandboxing is not a good fit.

Okay sure but is this really such an issue? Installing the app normally is equivalent to passing those flags anyway right?

Oulu, Finland, has snow all the time and people ride their bikes all the time. It’s a matter of infrastructure

complete BS. Think about it for literally 5 seconds. Do all Canadians live equally spaced throughout the country? No. They mostly live in metropolitan areas. The laws are deeply in favor of car-based infrastructure and actively anti-pedestrian. Improvement is possible, and whoever told you the density thing is either a car lobbyist or echoing their BS

This is some real torment nexus type shit but I don’t believe for a second this is really more efficient, not to mention reliability

Woah there. China polluting our environment? Unacceptable. It’s European heritage that we pollute our environment all on our own!

In the last 15 years?? 2. Ukraine and the Caucasus. Zero baltic state invasions. But I’m not here to defend Putin whatsoever.

Look at the countries in the middle east and count the number of invasions that the German military has been part of or supported with weapons and military technology in the last 15 years. I can promise it’s more than 2. And don’t forget one of those involves a genocide.

In Berlin, there’s a growing consensus that Putin won’t stop at Ukraine

What reality are they in? Putin has barely been able to invade part of Ukraine over multiple years, and it has cost him greatly. Who in their right mind thinks he has the power to march through the rest of Ukraine, and then Poland and then come all the way to Germany?

Fuck Putin but the reasons for this sudden military buildup are so sus. And it’s right as we come up on Germany likely electing the most right-wing government since you-know-when.

Also “defense of the continent”? How do you become Professor without knowing that Russia itself is a mostly European country?

The year is 2027. A beginner programmer searches how to access the last array element in a programming language she is unfamiliar with. The results come in. “Top 10 array accesses that will make you want to buy our sponsors product”. She sighs and asks Claude instead. She pastes the one-liner into her code. Finishes the remaining code. Tests. Double-check. Commit. Push. A notification appears. “Your account has been temporarily suspended for violating GitHub’s terms of service”. Forgot to mark claude as a co-author. She sighs again

tankies.

Those bird designs really do appeal

Yeah leftists and environmentalists famously hate railways 🤨

work smarter not harder

IMO: Purely optics / strategic. She knows that Germany is not homophobic enough for the party to keep getting more voters with their current stance. They used extreme views to get their first, extreme voters, now they are trying to grab the big votes from the center.

Okay so by civilization we mean slightly more modern technology? That’s fine, I just got a bit ticked off because Europeans have a very long-lasting tradition to label everyone they don’t like as backwards savages, and it came off that way to me.

I’m not opposed to this but I don’t understand what this has to do with opposing Trump. Europe could just make their own payment providers. Actually already exists, iDeal/Wero type shit. We could have eliminated dependence on Visa Mastercard and Paypal ages ago given enough political will. In the Netherlands most online purchases have gone through iDeal for ages now. Germany is still licking PayPal boots because we hate nice things.

But digital cash (which is what this should be called IMO, to be less confusing), can be a fine solution depending on how it’s implemented. Hoping for something like the GNUTaler, that protects buyer anonymity.

A taste of civilized world? Russia is civilization now and has been for many thousands of years.

people with stupid amounts of money

There’s enough rich people. If you’re a millionaire, 3k is the equivalent of like $50 for a normal person.

I heard thr saying, “LastPass is the Last Password manager you should ever use”. That was like, what, three breaches ago?

I stroked as of read in this post. what
