  • and internet still works... Mostly

    That load-bearing "mostly" is doing a lot of work here.

    I invite everybody to find out how everything "mostly" works if you disable "most of" javascript – also have fun deciding which parts to enable because you think they're trustworthy

  • Yeah that's totally understandable. It's just so scummy that suits know they can fire people for some idiotic whim like the current "AI" craze, and then when it inevitably blows up in their faces they can rehire the folks they just fired and for no extra cost because they know people will be desperate. Small wonder they didn't cut your pay.

  • So your compensation effectively didn't change at all, if you'd have gotten the raise anyhow?

    Damn.

  • B E A N S

  • Whoops, they got their faces eaten by a leopard

  • Err, I mean completely regardless of whether I think 8GB is enough or not, they didn't admit anything of the sort:

    There's a memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion in Xcode 16, and it's the closest thing we'll get from Apple to an admission that 8GB of memory isn't really enough for a new Mac in 2024.

    (Emphasis mine.)

    Not being able to run "AI" predictive code completion with 8GB doesn't mean they're "admitting" jack shit.

  • Well, the true scale of the internal migration is hard to gauge because Russia is Russia, but in classic fashion there's likely been quite a bit of forced migration but could be as many as 800,000 to 1,000,000 people who have been "brought" into Crimea one way or another and a number of native Ukrainians and Tatars have been forcibly relocated.

    Edit: and I found one estimate putting the number of internally displaced Crimeans in Ukraine at 20,000 – 100,000 (pg. 2), but another estimate had an upper limit of 200,000

  • Iran, too.

    Calling Republicans Talebangelicals isn't all that inaccurate

  • Terrific for MAD

  • That's a big ass-bullet

  • Oh and someone needs to figure our where all the ryssä goes

    I have some ideas regarding that but they're against the instance's code of conduct and I'm pretty sure most of them are illegal

  • It really is. All the people who unironically want it back really haven't thought things through.

  • I could make one if it wasn't for my crippling case of being lazy

  • Loquunturne Latine in 'Quid'?

  • May well be, but I saw comments like "This is how the left loses voters", and generally the pointless mean-spirited bigotry does come from the right

  • Not an American tradition, but a conservative tradition; in Finland we just had two literal neo-Nazis stab children in a shopping centre.

  • That's the French Navy, not the "EU military". The EU is not a military alliance, there is really no EU military to speak of, just the militaries of member states who may or may not have any intention or capability of aiding others. Like I said, there are about 60 000 "EU soldiers" under the Common Security and Defence Policy, but they're more for peacekeeping missions.

    NATO is pretty much the closest thing there is to an EU military, as a huge percentage of the member states belong to it as well.
