  • Comparing a car to a private jet regardless of passenger count is disingenuous in the extreme

  • Full of people... Who only need to be there because of her.

    This is like arguing it's more efficient to put wheels on your house and drive it to work every day

  • Can I see a single fucking example of food prices dropping?

  • MAGA has nothing to do with passing legislation or running the country, so no.

  • As a software user, you can either care about your privacy or not. Caring about your privacy and not either vetting what you're planning to use or checking that someone else has before using it, is akin to sticking your hand in a fire to find out if it's hot.

    Taking that analogy further, malicious open source software is kind of like a burning building. It only takes one person to raise the flag for it to spread pretty quickly through social media or other means that it is malicious. The whole community doesn't need to acknowledge the fire for something to be done about it.

  • That they leak information? I work in commercial software development and I have to do a lot of open source security reviews. The answer is: virtually none.

    Private, closed-source software on the other hand... If it could sniff your farts and send the smell to advertisers, it would; in almost all cases.

  • The duality of man

  • The duality of man

  • The app is open source so you can review the not-leaking-your-information that it does yourself.

    Windows on the other hand ...

  • Well they haven't mass murdered me so how can I be sure?

    Do you have any samples of their design work?

    I'm hot on this case.

  • From:

    Democrats are in need of a reality check. The stakes are too high for us to indulge in the kind of denial

    It will be repeated daily from now through the election on a thousand social and partisan media platforms.

    Saved you a click.

    So? And what? What is this acknowledgement going to achieve? Other than being a completely baseless claim to begin with the author offers no positive outcome from this supposed need for us all to close our eyes, click our heels and say "Biden is old" until the words lose meaning.

    The author needs to spend less time rolling around in verbal faeces on X and spend a bit more time talking to people in the real world. That would reduce their proclivity for high school drama levels of reaction to an old man being old.

  • Er, yeah, I agree with that. Nothing to do with my point, but you are correct.

  • It depends on your intent. If you're doing it to keep history clean and linear in the long term, it's a huge waste of time as it gets splatted into a single squashed merge commit. It also makes it difficult for reviewers to rereview your changes as GitHub/Lab can't calculate the diff because you keep moving the goalposts with force pushes.

    If you're doing it for cleanliness on your local branch then I guess that's fine, but I find it anti-social in a multi participant repo.

  • I tried to refuse pay for on call recently as it has tax implications that I didn't want to do deal with, but my employer refused.

    So, yeah, take it up with them you bunch of bankers.

  • Sorry for a second comment but, by agenda, are you implying that I'm anti evolution?
