All good points.

That’s a fair point. Actively disabling it at the last minute, after everything had been underway, is significant.

Yeah, I honestly don’t understand why this narrative even needs to be played out.

I don’t know what angle there is by making Musk a scapegoat beyond, maybe, Ukraine trying to strengthen its supporting relationship with the US population, but it already has most of the US support anyway.

Musk has his issues, there’s no doubt about that, but not wanting to be involved is an ethical stance to take on his part.

I think they do, hence the statement.

Caffeine is a refuge for many people. It’s addictive, but there are far worse things to be addicted to.

It’s beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.

They’ll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn’t worth it and (b) it’s just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government’s existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.

Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…

I suppose these days it’s cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices

Ahh, yes. The golden era of usenet flaming.

Mostly everyone who says taking someone else’s property is okay if you feel they deserve it

I don’t think that’s ok. Humans need their space, man.

If you don’t see a huge commie bent here, then I would assume it’s because you are a commie or are commie-adjacent

I see a moderate and a left bent here. Both of those I vibe with, but the left isn’t synonymous with communism or even marxism.

And there’s also idealism, of course - there’s plenty of that everywhere on the Internet.

My view of the left is that they want an infra that’s more aligned with the EU or Scandanavia.

That’s definitely not communism. NK is communist, and there are very few people who want NK.

Man, they’re attacking telescopes now. What a shitshow

100% agree. It flags infractions, you have people verify what was being flagged, due course follows.

Where is the “commie garbage”?

People here are making valid complaints about the state of society.

Most people know that communism isn’t the answer.

bro

It’s almost as if reality news is converging with Onion news. Each passing year it just gets worse.

This is real? This isn’t the Onion?

Striving for peace and equality is reserved for liberal, commie pinkos.

WinRAR was what I used in the 2000s. Around 2011, 7-zip was my goto. I haven’t looked back since.

I wasn’t aware of pea-zip until this thread

From civillians getting bombed, to this, to soldiers expecting to die as they lay in trenches outside of their cities being burned.

And then you have the civillians inside Russia who are brave enough to protest against the war, but at what cost.

It’s depressing.

Elegance is gay

Be patient. It takes time to “get going”.

If you know how to program, you’re in a good spot. If you don’t know how to program, start with fundamentals.

SICP is good. It’s Lisp. You’ll probably never write a line of Lisp professionally, but it will help shape how you reason about solving problems.

Develop some solid fundamentals.

They’re important. People found value in the questions or answers she provided on the site.

People who receive backlash/hate are often put in positions where they have to work harder to prove themselves.

Jon Skeet on SO was treated like a God and a meme because his score was so high it reset.

Her using whatever form of merit that we have to demonstrate her skillset is totally valid.

Anyone can learn how to code. What separates the hobbyist from the professional is the amount of time they’re willing to put in.
