Just stopping by to say that I understood the obvious sarcasm/joke

Why are we still like this? Just a bunch of primitive apes pummeling each other

The only reason coders’ computers work better than non-coders’ computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don’t beat them when they’re bad.

Well… said?

Oh look, a completely fallacious and divisive comment

Spoiler: they think the horsey is worth it

Idk I can think of a few others…

Edit: I take issue with the ridiculous editorialization in the title. MOST transparent? Of ALL TIME?? What about the Khmer Rouge? The Holocaust? Uighyrs? Not every fucked up atrocity has to be the most impressive of all time to warrant an article…

I appreciate hearing a differing view from my own here, genuinely.

I listen to NPR frequently and I have heard many segments about the border and especially asylum seekers.

I see this a lot, “the liberal media doesn’t want you to know!” or “why isn’t anyone talking about this!” meanwhile everyone including the lefty sources are indeed talking about it.

The problem is, only one party wants to do anything to actually ease the crisis. Republicans are a half step away from suggesting land mines at the border because trying to escape to the land of the free for a better life is illegal, and that apparently should mean death for you.

yes but they can shoot behind them the whole time offering small but important time savings from the boost it provides

except the current user base, that doesn’t care about FOSS as you or I do, will continue using the original app which will net them a non-insignificant amount of ad revenue, which is their entire purpose for existing. Makes sense to me

Totally agree.

Relatedly, I think people would be surprised how little the Apple Tax really is when accounting for specs and performance. That said I’m sure the margin is quite a bit higher on this device than an mbp. It’s very clearly not positioned for consumers but for businesses and bleeding edge enthusiasts

Norm from Tested on yt had good things to say after his hands-on with the headset iirc a while back. This is just the price of a flagship VR device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No I agree with you, but I also think the actions of the USA are not exactly irrelevant

It depends! Obviously the US isn’t entirely at fault. After our shenanigans there was like permanent war in the region (also mostly the US) which never helps. The destabilizing effects are still present and can be traced back to the US in no small part.

Slavery was outlawed over 100 years ago in the US yet we are still dealing with the ramifications. Stuff doesn’t just happen in a vacuum

edit: I should also note the US propped up a dictator who was corrupt and overthrown by religious zealots. They have been ruled by extremists ever since. It seems like a direct connection to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The CIA installed a religious zealot dictator… idk why you’re being downvoted lol. Let’s all just pretend the CIA hasn’t been fucking up democratically elected governments for almost a century

You guys are using typescript right? … right?

I just save my notes to a network location (could be icloud, dropbox, gdrive etc.) which is a much cheaper (free) way to sync notes – love Obsidian

For real… like Mr. Putin sir, we don’t want Russia. In fact, I must insist that you keep it
