Most of the mass is concentrated in the one braincell

36% is so. fucking. high. I don’t understand how this is wrapped as good news.
One respondent in 3 approves of what has been going on. 1 in 5 wholeheartedly agrees.

In Germany right now, Merz seems to hover around 25-35%. Macron is at 20% approval and has hardly broken 30% in the past 2 years. Neither of them built a golden ballroom, accepted foreign billions, shat their pants on tv, have their name all over the Epstein files or are actively dismantling their democracy.

Even more telling is the question about priorities. Just 32% say Trump has focused on the right issues.

Very telling indeed…

The future is now. The future is also ten, twenty and thirty years ago! According to GitHub’s Chief Executive Idiot himself:

the skills that will matter most include system design, AI fluency, delegation, and quality assurance

Except for “AI fluency”, this has been true for fucking ever. No serious work environment evaluates their developers on how quickly they can vomit code (or so I hope): the job is indeed about design, quality and working as a team in general.
Which means a tool that does not help with any of these is already not a revolution. When the tool actively makes quality worse and collaboration more complicated, I get the impression it is actually detrimental.

Mind you, I might be dead wrong. I am personally not impressed so far. It seems to be a better autocomplete, but I don’t want to throw a glass of water out the window every time I press tab.

but at least Abilene was insured against such an attack

Oh, well that’s great. I hope the people, whose identity, medical records, or whatever else was stolen will be compensated accordingly. Would be a shame if the money went into building a new, just as unsafe system.

Not that anyone gives a fuck. At this point the argument is “your data had probably already been stolen somewhere else”…

I say we carry on as usual and deport them anyway

There is the expected amount of negativity in the comments, but also more positivity than I expected.

I watched the video. I am not really a fan of the style, I don’t agree with all of the content. But damn, a big influencer is using his reach to talk about retaking privacy and control in your online life. It can be such a difficult subject to pitch without sounding crazy. I think the video existing is great and pushes general awareness in the right direction.

I finally switched to Linux as my daily driver (gaming, browsing, watching stuff) a week ago. Admittedly I have been using it at work for a few years.

• I chose Pop!_OS as a distribution, because it supposedly streamlines nvidia driver hassles and I wanted to give it a try
• Installed the OS, Discord, Steam, no problems
• Installed and played Raft, Vampire Survivors, TW Warhammer 3, Outer Wilds, no problems and no additional config needed

Just to add a voice to the positive feedback! If you have a spare computer or hard drive, I absolutely encourage you to try it out!
