Operation Epic Failure

Meanwhile, I have to install my third freedesktop 1GB dependency for 4 flatpak apps. What I wouldn’t give for a slim 100mb electron package… All my electron apps as appimages are less than 1gb total.

But hey, at least native apps are so much faster. I have to get out an atomic clock to really see those microseconds that Zed is saving me compared to VSCode. You can even use the extra battery you gain to do one extra Rust compilation from scratch!

JFC, things have gotten so bad that we are cheering for some Hungarian conservative winning an election.

Dunno what the irish ones can hope to achive?

Less taxes on fuel and subsidies for business. And, as predicted:

There is little or nothing in this package for the low and middle-income workers who have no option other than to pay their tax from pay packets that are under increasing pressure from rising energy bills, skyrocketing grocery prices and escalating housing costs

That warehouse got luigid good

It’s also pretty funny how little self awareness these people have:

One person in one group asked if protesters should blockade Donald Trump’s Doonbeg hotel, to which someone replied: “He’s got nothing to do with it so no”.

Or using Trump and MAGA like slogans: https://bsky.app/profile/davitter.bsky.social/post/3mjardpjeus2i

Citizen, you have an outstanding debt for the 2 hours of sunlight you’ve enjoyed yesterday.

Maybe ChatGPT told them to do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Inception, The Matrix, Interstellar, Joker, Watchmen

Maybe top commenter is spiritually German and doesn’t believe in spaces?

Nothing to cheer for here. The protest is mostly led by medium to large business owners that are worried about their profits. Workers don’t own heavy machinery like trucks and tractors they can use to block streets (and if they did it with their employers equipment they would be in instant trouble).

Far-right protesters have happily latched onto these protests, flying the same slogans that were seen at anti-immigration rallies in the last years (like Irish Lives Matter).

The government has announced a relief package for impacted businesses (note that there is no relief package for average people driving to work). At best, this will result in further socialization of costs and privatization of profits.

The sad state of affairs is that the right is more capable at organizing protests than the left right now. The kulaks will get what they want, average people will get fucked.

CIA backed fascist coup in 3…2…

To the people saying things like “what took you so long”, I think you’re missing the point. They even address this in the post:

EFF exists to protect people’s digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms and subjected to their corporate surveillance.

When the ship is sinking, there’s some value in someone staying behind to help people get off. That’s not the same as generating value for Shitter.

Completely understandable if you lose the will to live after meeting Vance

His post got taken down. Probably too many likes. And this is why artists should have alternatives to Shitter.

More like the Strait of Schrodinger

That looks like a shoe print. Considering the size of it, it can only mean…

Big Foot confirmed!

I think when Trump dies, MAGA will fade away.

I wish I shared your optimism. It won’t, but time will tell with certainty.

But on a serious note, mine just jumps up and down in volume randomly
