Where Mr robot is an unreliable narrator that questions himself, devs has a paranoia that someone else is controlling the narrative to purposefully make you question,

Making an effort and hanging a bad made costume is better than a bought costume. It should be about creativity, not money.

I’d still give candy to kids. Not teens. I’d give extra candy to kids that made an effort in whatever way.

Wasn’t Ukraine having similar discussions and elections about 15 years ago…

Hard to make the call as to whether now is a good time to move closer to the EU from a risk of invasion perspective, when they are currently already in a war with Ukraine and busy, or if the ramped up war machine makes it even riskier.

Most other countries have their post Covid inflation mostly under control, if not in their preferred band, they are considering rate cuts. Obviously war is not conducive to that. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the cost of war became a problem that hindered it, which was the point of institutions like the eu in the first place.

That and the fort trial. Or where Jen breaks the internet.

I usually just wet my pants to avoid touching my own penis so I don’t get perceived as gay. Shit, I just used the word perceived. Gay af.

As a foreign born person, now living in Australia with Australian citizenship, Australia has undoubted racism, including casual racism, institutional racism and blatant bigotry. However, viokent hate crimes are much more rare. Australians are generally welcoming, even to those they hold outdated racist views against. Its not people in masks lighting crosses on lawns. Its people being friendly with foreigners at work but never making friends with them, despite doing the same with white coworkers. Its having neoghbours whobyou are friendly with and borrow tools from each other but still roll your eyes as they dont eat bacon, son you couldn’t possibly invite them over for a barbecue as your potato salad has bacon bits on top. Its denying original Australians a voice in the Parliament.

However, China has a much bigger problem with racism where there is purposeful genocide. However, China’s criticism rings true, because it is.

Australia can and will do better as most peopke dont want to be racist. There is a fringe far right element, like most western countries but its not the norm. I thibknchina will also do better as their exposure to other cultures and peoples increases.

What does it say?

Dude!

Reminds me of the movie without the car.

Band camp.

Similar movie, with some of the same actors.

I run a WordPress site but I’m not a developer.

It seems like automatticuses the community for free development and profits from it. They in turn develop and support it, heck they created it.

However, with foss its free for WP engine to use and they dont like it. So they are throwing a hissy fit and making out its about the community and giving back. BS.

I assume it will fork.

Ramping up production didn’t reduce demand. Demand reduced due to a softening Chinese economy, mainly due to debt and housing.

I agree, it’s not excess supply when you can sell it overseas. However, its also not central planning when you wanted to Ramp up supply for domestic consumption but end up using capitalism to keep efficiencies.

Companies ramp down production all the time. What do you think redundancies and factory closures are for? They react to market conditions or seek new markets (as happened in this case).

I thinknyouve got it backwards. Central planning can efficiently produce anything. As in, it can make as much of a product at the cheapest price as possible. The problem is central planning is less efficient at deciding how much is needed. It will often over or undershoot. Thats what happened here. Tonsaybthey can still sell overseas, so its still central planning being efficient is incorrect. Central planning didn’t work to produce the needed amount so trade through capitalism is being used to improve efficiency of the capital used.

Yep, but with consent. I’m already happy they don’t his. OP is not. FOSS should aim for ideal behaviour to show non Foss software how its done right.

This shoudlnt come at the expense of user experience, so its always a balance.

They tend to be more efficient. However central planning in China which ramped up production yet has reduced demand, means an excess supply.

So, selling to Europe or USA makes sense to offload that supply. In a capitalist, closed system, they would have ramped down production, but also wouldn’t have had the capital to ramp up production so quickly.

If they weren’t seen as a strategic asset, then Europe and USA wouldn’t care that China is subsidizing cheaper products. They dont want their car industries dead as then they are dependent on China.

Yes but thats the point. You could offer the option. This site is trying to block open standards. We can apply a fix to correct it. Would you like to Tell site to fix it/Apply fix/Leave unsafe site

Then you have all options.

Lol, you do realise that chrome does many more. They were recently discovered to allow extra access to google meet over competitors. So not just creepy, but anticompetitive.

I think a more aggressive approach would be better for sites that dont offer compatibility with Firefox.

Do a pop up that asks the user to help make chsnge. First few users to encounter the site could be asked to see if they could find the contact details to let the site know about the problem. Once that is correct, following users could be asked to message them to let them know its a problem.

Keep upping the volume with bad publicity about their website not following standards and bekgn deficient and they will change.

Oh, certainly LLMs are here to stay. Hopefully, they become conmoditised very quickly. But also, hopefully, the bubble bursts quickly too. Shoehorning AI into everything is dogshit. Actually using it for select reasons, where it is successful, should be great.

Already we have things like customer support phone trees that try to get rid of user interaction with scripts. AI here could be great to improve them. What’s more likely is as the tech improves, more companies use AI rather than peioke for customer support, lol. Its dystopian.

The difference, of course, is the belt sander is not purporting to be able to screw fasten. Nor will it with a future update or subscription.

I’m sorry for your loss.

You can have gay kids and still grieve for the life you expected them to have. That doesn’t mean you dont love them. What matters is you support who they actually are, not who you thought they would be. But sprinkle in some disordered thinking and I can see how that could go awry.
