To be fair, one should acknowledge the conditions in Europe under which Zionism was created. In a growing wave of antisemitism at the end of the 19th century, Dühring wrote in a 1881 pamphlet:

He described the "Jewish question" as an expression of an irresolvable racial antagonism, and openly advocated for the "murder and extermination" of Jews as a solution to the Jewish question.

Many scholars believe that Dühring's invention of a modern-sounding antisemitism helped persuade Theodor Herzl that Zionism was the only answer.

There was a growing fear that there could be no cultural assimilation and that Jews would continue to be persecuted, as they, in fact, were. Zionism was a proposed solution to that atmosphere of hate. It's easy with the foresight of 150 years to label it as a flawed idea.

This is not an excuse for modern day Israel's actions, and obviously the conditions for Jews in Europe are better today (since we are just scapegoating Muslims nowadays instead), it's just an understanding of how the fuck we got to this point.

But muh innovation! How are genius CEOs supposed to innovate if they can't use the public at large as guinea pigs??

Oh well, what can you do? Rome is pretty hot this time of the year.

Probably just God making it spontaneously combust.

You can just write to Soros and he will pay for the arrears.

/s for any right wing nutjobs reading this

Is the snowflake afraid of a little free speech? I thought he was all about free markets correcting themselves?

The rock was clearly designed by an omnipotent God, and can't be the product of chance

The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt)

Lol, he actually think the value of Shitter is still $45B, as when he bought it. That's cute.

Time to introduce him to the Streisand effect

If Hitler were alive he'd watch this video and say "Ja! Das ist how you do it!"

A cynical explanation would be using the EEE theory to explain all of this.

A more nuanced one would be that corporations benefit from open source since it creates an easier pipeline to onboard engineers and they also benefit from the free labor that people put into the projects out of passion. Whether they want to kill OSS after embracing it is debatable, but they definitely want to have as much leverage on it as possible.

Yes, also remember to completely avoid Typescript and C# since they are also Microsoft. And Rust since heavy ties to Amazon. Don't look for a job on Linkedin (where most listings are posted) because that's also Microsoft. Actually, just to spare you the time, avoid programming altogether and do something like farming, since no Big Tech influence there. /s

I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.

He did. Free speech for bigots that is.

I wonder why all these high profile people are so fascinated with a dictator that oversaw the transformation of a republic into an empire. Just like fascists were/are. Must be just a coincidence! Just like that Musk salute from the heart.

Pedophiles and sex offenders introducing invented mental illnesses. A great summary for the Republican party

Hey, it's open source. Just open a C project from the 90s and fix it yourself. Ez /s

Apparently it's been dead for a few months. I just found out today. Some other devs have forked it and their biggest instance is https://fedia.io/ now.
