Trump’s Tariffs Have Done What No US Adversary Could

Jump

  • It has been obvious for many years that the Trump movement aims at the downfall of America, through the promotion and exaggeration of America's flaws and the increasingly violent suppression of its virtues.

    • i want to learn/use functional programming language

    Jump

  • I recommend picking up Graham Hutton's short text Programming in Haskell, Second Edition. Even if you don't end up using Haskell in "real work" (and you might!) it will teach you a remarkable number of things about how functional programming works.

    • Hey Lemmy! What is your most beloved and hated British slang?

    Jump

  • England has a surfeit of terms for obnoxious people.

    • Jobsworth (obstructive clerk or bureaucrat)
    • God-botherer (religious fanatic)
    • Cockwomble
    • Minging cockwomble
    • Tremulous bollock-for-lobsters cockwomble
    • Sir Æthelbert Plonker Cockwomble of the Drubbing-over-Head Cockwombles

    I may have made those last two up.

    • The Hippocratic License 3.0: An Ethical License for Open Source.

    Jump

  • The term "open source software" was coined specifically to refer to software licensing that recognizes a particular set of freedoms. It is not a generic term for source-available software, and never was.

    One of the freedoms of open source is "no discrimination against fields of endeavor."

    Calling the Hippocratic license family "open source" is inaccurate, since its entire goal is to discriminate against certain fields of endeavor.

    It's better described as a sort of source-available license.

    • What's something that's free that everyone should know about?

    Jump

  • Lichess may be the best board game software for any board game ever. It's that good.

    • In how many languages can you count to 10?

    Jump

  • Eight: English, German, French, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Japanese, ASL.

    Bonus question: do you ever do your counting in a non-native language, just to make it more interesting?

    Russian occasionally. ASL when I'm counting how many seconds the cat has to stay quiet before I give her a treat.

    • Everything Trump is doing makes perfect sense if you understand one simple fact

    Jump

  • The ruble is worth more than the penny, but it's way down from 2008 when it was almost a nickel.

    • It always seems like its time to move to linux

    Jump

  • Remember when a "pop-up blocker" was a browser plug-in because the browsers didn't yet consider it a competitive feature?

    (Well, okay, Opera and iCab did.)

    • It always seems like its time to move to linux

    Jump

  • Number of ads my OS shows me: 0

    • People who use non-QWERTY keyboards: what do you use?

    Jump

  • Split Colemak on an Iris keyboard.

    • Heck is just "hell" and "fuck" combined

    Jump

  • Mother mother duck

    • Heck is just "hell" and "fuck" combined

    Jump

  • Oh, shove it up your heck!

    • Billionaires are turning on Trump | CNN Business

    Jump

  • Billionaires have always turned on Trump, slightly more than underage girls.

    • From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs?

    Jump

  • As an individual? Don't worry about it; show up at your local protest on the 19th.

    • I Should Have Seen This Coming

    Jump

  • If I recall correctly, Burke expected the French Revolution to eat itself and turn tyrannical ... which, y'know, it did. He was right about that.

    • I Should Have Seen This Coming

    Jump

  • Reagan wasn't good on HIV-AIDS.
    George H. W. Bush wasn't either.
    But George W. Bush was.

    PEPFAR was Baby Bush's baby.

    I don't think the passage you quoted was intended to say that Reagan was good on HIV-AIDS, but rather that America ended up being good on HIV-AIDS.

    • Central Park Five Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • This looks like a blog post. Do you have a news source for it?

    • The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kind

    Jump

  • To be clear, I mean people who praise Hitler, get swastika tattoos, blame everything on a Jewish Conspiracy, etc.

    You know, Nazis.

  • Not really. Nazis are scum and deserve to be kicked out.
