politics pays fucking attention to you
What was that bullshit propaganda catch-phrase the right-wingers were spewing a while back, to bitch and moan that their abhorrent “values” of bigotry and hate were “under attack?” Oh yeah: “You Will Be Made to Care.”
As always, yet fucking again, it was pure projection.
and some stuff is legitimately 100% yoy already.
It’s 100% day over day – or rather, 145% or even 170% day over day – because that’s what happens when you apply a 145 or 170% tariff to it!
The general public isn’t fully aware of the negative implications of it yet. That means it is news.
Anybody else remember when easy access for bots and scrapers (a.k.a. the “semantic web”) was considered a feature?
And yet if leftists sent anything even half as vitriolic to MAGAs, it would be prosecuted as a terroristic threat and a hate crime.
Ultimately, my biggest worry is that Trump’s absolute piss-poor understanding and implementation of tariffs has very likely ‘poisoned the well’ to the point that they could probably never be successfully implemented in our lifetime by an actual competent Government
Well, it’s not as if they had much chance of happening anyway, given the neoliberal status quo for decades before that, so… 🤷
Sure, but that reasonable and nuanced idea has nothing to do with what Trump’s position on tariffs has always been. He’s just a dipshit that doesn’t understand the difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics, or that the entire economy of of a country that controls its own currency (and especially one that controls the world’s reserve currency) doesn’t work the same way as an individual household or business.
Tariffs have been the one major actual policy position rattling around in Trump’s empty skull since at least 1988. He fucking loves the idea of tariffs, for some reason.
I was initially confused by it too, but got used to it. I think the moderator functions ought to be accessed by an icon separate from the edit ellipsis, but I agree that it shouldn’t be a green shield like that.
That’s what I’m mostly interested in as well. I recommend checking out makertube.net. It doesn’t have the content yet, but I have high hopes for it in the long run.
On a possibly-related note, I couldn’t remember the URL so I tried to look it up. DDG gave results for the Mastodon and Patreon accounts, but the makertube.net Peertube site itself wasn’t in the first page of results at all. Or the second page, or the third page (I didn’t check beyond that). I was down in the weeds of random German blog posts talking about it without finding the actual site. That’s a capital-P problem, and the more conspiratorial side of me is suspicious about it.
EDIT: Also, I think that’s the first Houthi kill of an F-18.
In that case, we should bill the Israelis for the cost, since they’re who the Houthis are pissed off at.
Yeah, it’s another layer, and so there definitely is an https://xkcd.com/927/ aspect to it… but (at least in theory) only having problems getting Docker (1 program) to run is better than having problems getting N problems to run, right?
(I’m pretty ambivalent about Docker myself, BTW.)
I’m aware of that, but OP requested “explain like I’m stupid” so I omitted that detail.
None, because I get almost all my apps from F-Droid and the repository maintainers themselves will quit making updated versions available if the app enshittifies.
Also, I cannot imagine accepting that shit from Samsung or Xiaomi in the first place. Believe it or not, instant boycott.
A program isn’t just a program: in order to work properly, the context in which it runs — system libraries, configuration files, other programs it might need to help it such as databases or web servers, etc. — needs to be correct. Getting that stuff figured out well enough that end users can easily get it working on random different Linux distributions with arbitrary other software installed is hard, so developers eventually resorted to getting it working on their one (virtual) machine and then just (virtually) shipping that whole machine.
2017 for me!
(I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)
I assume the time zone is right, but I’m not sure the userbase is there the way it is for the German-speakers. If there are actually a lot of Indians on Lemmy, I feel like most of them must be writing in English instead of Hindi or their other various native languages.
You forgot to “beep boop.” Please report for debugging.
I’m pretty sure that the jackbooted thugs are the one part of the government that isn’t getting cut.
