Joke parties making serious showing is the ultimate sign that the centrist neoliberal parties are utterly failing the populace.

I think you’re confusing America bombing Afghanistan into the ground with the Soviet Union bombing Afghanistan into the ground. Since the Soviets invaded, and the US propped up the proto-Taliban in response, Afghanistan’s government has been fundamentally broken. The US bears a lot of responsibility for that but the invasion of Afghanistan arguably made things better for a brief window.

Nah, there’s a fair bit of legitimacy in wanting to minimize how often you pull out your phone. If you can’t ignore notifications (i.e. devops) it’s nice to be able to check them without getting the full device out.

I know you’re being sarcastic but have people really become so fucking self interested that they’ve lost sight of the fact that the people around you doing well is of benefit to you? It feels fucking insane how demonized it is to want your neighbors to have a fair shot at life as well

There is - socialist economic policies that do work.

The problem is that whenever people ask for those they get centrist neoliberal economic policies.

Bold of you to assume most of us could afford or would choose to have children in this fucked up world.

Neoliberalism (what Regean spearheaded) crushes the common man and its widespread embrace has deprived people of the ability to hope for stuff like a house or the ability to afford a family. People are struggling and want change - centrists are failing to deliver that.

One thing to observe is that in areas where true left wing governments hold sway (like Spain) they’re thriving. But yeah, disappointing centrists marauding as liberals (like Starmer) underdeliver and then get extremist right wingers elected.

NIH (Not Invented Here) is absolutely the downfall of many tech companies. Code costs constant money to maintain - it may sound illogical since it’s unchanged from the day it was written but it absolutely is the case.

As someone who writes high throughput PHP code I can confirm that it’s much more about technique than language capabilities (though in an embedded setting things with dynamic GCs are simply unusable unless static memory management can be enabled with a compiler switch).

For most projects you’d be much more rewarded for focusing on tools/framework/libraries available for the different languages (since that’s where most initial effort will go) and then build up any missing functionality as needed ontop of that base.

Most languages can do pretty much anything these days. The technical advantages are much smaller than the impact the right approach will have… it’s one reason that I hold “maintainability” as the most important attribute of a project.

Have my upvote, you monster.

It would be fucking insane if they started deporting citizens.

@See VPC, VPN, LAN, etc…

Corporate intranets (intranet essentially being “internal network” while internet is essentially “global network”) have existed for a long time.

But there are intranets all around us - everything on your side of your router can be treated as a local intranet and you can even set up a local DNS server (this is commonly used for ad blocking and I believe pi-holes use this technique though they might just use address blacklisting).

So, TL;DR you already do! A hacker is you!

Butt stuff, we’re talking about butt stuff!

My terminology was a bit lacking - but that’s interesting, TIL!

So, for transwomen the nerves you’re dealing with for stimulation during anal probably are really close to ciswomen.

Oh, interesting - but a plug would probably fix that right? AFABs lack the prostate entirely, so that bundle of nerves doesn’t really help with sensations.

Eh, if you’ve got a prostate (aka you were AMAB) that’s probably doing most of the work so ribs likely wouldn’t matter. If you’ve seen toys designed for anal they often involve much more dramatic texturing (i.e. anal beads) since that will trigger a sensation that ribbing likely won’t.

And, if you think about it logically, if you’re constipated you kind of don’t want to feel every minor fissure or bump on what’s coming out.

So as an AMAB I haven’t observed a difference and I kind of doubt AFABs would either.

GitExtensions

I use an excellent GUI that opens a terminal to run the commands you execute in it so that you can review the precise command in case you need to modify it.

Some More News is excellent!

Coffezilla does awesome journalism.

ExtraHistory has also really stepped up it’s game.

I hate the title phrasing - it shouldn’t bring anyone relief it should bring anxiety that they did as well as they did. The SPD needs to push hard on progressive policies that will actually improve people’s daily life or more folks will become disenchanted and embrace racist extremist parties. When people are struggling they seek change and the extremes always offer that change in abundance.

This performance from the AfD wasn’t a bunch of skin heads - they’d still be at ~3% if it was just the hardcore assholes - this is regular folks seeking economic relief.
