Well, I hope this quote is spread far and wide in all channels.

Maybe they'll finally let me use Julia at work

So many AP platforms are made by a couple of guys in their garage, it's not even funny, and the mentality of "just dicking around" means what gets used is whatever the whims of the day dictate, rather than the standard.

"If it works, it's not stupid" and all that.

But that kind of work lacks real world testing, and depe concern for public expectaton or desire.

Plus, you have to keep in mind that the idea of interplatform interoperability isn't this core conceit of ActivityPub. It's a potential use case, but it's not an expectation. There's no reason anyone should expect interop like that, other than some developers wanted to try it.

But some didn't, and now that their platforms are gaining audience, they're refactoring to meet that audience's expectations.

Chainlink blanet'll do it

A significant issue here, and what's specifically highlighted in this post, is that this group has strong and direct ties to the CPC leader, and so its status as "third party" is questionable.

Plus the blatant and flagrant lying about things and people.

Like, if the union heads had worked on Carney's leadership campaign and then started running ads saying that Poilievre was a habitual cat rapist, all as a means to create the false perception that there were multiple independent groups opposing PP...

But sure, the situations are totally symmetrical.

She won the nomination vote at her local EDA? That's all that becoming a candidate means.

Techbros killed me, Mal.

"Why won't the liberals deliberalize the economy?"

He needs to explain the dead hookers I believe are in his trunk

Being in the same space with teammates

Ah, so what you mean is that you create an environment that is hostile towards people with sensory sensitivities or issues, while also standing menacingly over everyone's shoulders all day.

Hard pass.

No new president will successfully patch this over. It will take decades.

It's not Trump. It's the US voters who have proven themselves unreliable partners in international affairs.

As decentralized money, it's great

It's not money. It's not accepted as money anywhere that matters.

It's a market speculation vehicle built on the fucking aether, that you can currently sell easily enough in small quanties in order to get some actual currency that retailers will accept.

But it sure as fuck ain't money. It's just a bunch or techno-utopians huffing farts.

There are also just a lot of personalization options that just aren't there, particularly for power-lite users, because Linix power users use the terminal for everything.

Like, heaven forbid you want a full featured, advanced file manager or something, but aren't interested in learning bash scripting...

Eh. Notice how all the buildings are long and narrow? It's because it's a trailer park. So, you know, it's tiny. The direcions are gonna be "once ya get to the park, b'y, hangs a left. It's the blue one."

Worked very well for Stephen Harper. He told them he wouldn't take questions from them, and then they covered his press releases with vigour.

They're coming from larger markets, so already have a larger sales base, large income flow, and reduced costs from producing at a larger scale.

Y'all come from large provinces, don't ya? Because none of you are talking like you've ever seen a bigger neighbour wipe out your local industry. Or paidnany attention while Walmart and Amazon decimated things.

Yes, getting things onto the island will be expensive, but if you have a war chest, a distribution network, and the facilities to produce at scale, you can enter the market just fine. And if a bunch of others do as well, the lot of them can squeeze out the local brewers.

Weirdly enough, the amount of money you have today directly impacts how much you can fuck over someone smaller than you tomorrow.

You love to see it.

Why does the mainstream media continue to buy into the lies and hypocrisies Trump continues to spew regarding trade with Canada ?

Well, for some reason -- whether it's a reflexive trust in the system, or something more along the lines of it being difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon them not understanding it -- the media can't wrap their head around the idea that the President of the United States might be a sleazy, lying, dirty fink of a rat bastard.

His other argument was the 200 billion dollar surplus in trade

It's worth highlighting here that Trump believes that not paying for goods and services is what smart business people do, and we can interpret his discussion around trade deficits in these terms. Trump is not setting his agenda here -- he has people whispering in his ear who know how to pull his strings and push his buttons to their own ends -- but he is giving us a window into his understanding of the world. And he believes that America paying for what it buys is beneath them. So, this is how he himself interprets arguments around trade.

The media, again, chooses not to understand this, and instead abdicate their imagined duty to inform people of the truth, and pat themselves on the back for being megaphones for whoever's in charge today. Doesn't matter that they know that person has never successfully said something factually correct or not.

Their own server, or their own router? They're different.
