This plane fell out of a fifth floor window

Oh yeah?

Well my dad's uncle's niece's friend Trish says that Google Reader is coming back.

But maybe don't listen to Trish: she has one tit bigger than the other.

Did you not hear?

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Just because you personally don't like a service or it fails some silly purity test you made up doesn't give you some right to censor news about it.

Stand down as a moderator: what little power you have has already gone to your head and now you're activity harming the communities you're supposed to be protecting.

So I didn't state that. Thanks for clarifying.

What a silly waste of time.

Please point out where I stated that.

So do you agree with the idea that Milei's austerity measures will work in the long run?

Probably not. The politics won't allow for it: everyone's thinking is short term and nobody cares about 10 years down the line. He will be blocked and sabotaged and removed before this gets to play out. Then the money printer will go brrrrrrrrrrrr

If it's allowed to stick, then yes, it should work in the long term, with some short to medium term pain. It's not impossible but it seems unlikely to work out that way. Maybe enough Argentinans with a long memory and basic math skills will allow it to happen. But don't count on it.

Similar to how an addict has to get off the drugs: hurts in the short term something fierce, then it gets better over time. Except here the drug is free money. Of course, many don't make it.

If you do, is there historical precedent to guide that belief?

Every fiat currency has eventually failed. Going right back the Romans and probably before that. When the greedy idiots in charge learn they can print money seemingly without consequence, then they will print.

They keep doing the same thing again and again without fixing anything.

Imagine you earn $5k a month, but you spend $10k a month. You will eventually run out of credit and will go into default then bankruptcy.

This is what Argentina is doing.

It's also what America is doing, but so far she is getting away with it, mostly because she can just keep printing as many dollars as she wants as it's the reserve currency and therefore easy to inflate away the debt.

And remember, every bit of inflation is spending power out of your pocket. Remember what $100 bought you ten years ago?

Keynesian economists think this is fine and you can just going like this forever (running a country isn't the same as running a household, duh!). Those people are idiots and apparently don't understand basic math, but unfortunately they are running the show right now.

Eventually the good times will stop. The results will be catastrophic when this happens. People will die and more wars will break out. Even first world countries will not be immune.

Only question is when. For both Argentina and America and everyone else.

it's only the games that are good.

Well that's good then. As that's kinda the point of this thing...

gizchina.com is an unreliable source for impartial information?!

NO WAI!

• Print loads of money
• Economy goes to shit
• Implement price controls when the riots start
• Print yet more money because the core issues have not been fixed and people keep rioting
• Going to IMF cap in hand for more money with a pinkie promise to not do that shit again
• Do that shit again
• Suprised Pikachu.gif when it goes tits up yet again

Rinse and repeat every few years.

I think bringing in an entire operating system, which may well include libraries and other files that I already have installed, to run something small can be considered bloat.

I currently have multiple versions of Nvidia's libraries installed for some reason on my system through flatpak. I have no idea why that's necessary but if I don't allow this to happen I get dropped down to software rendering.

That's not how Flatpak works.

That's exactly how flatpaks work if the library you need is not in the runtime. Which is very often the case.

I know because I made one for my personal use and the package was not available elsewhere.

Additionally, at least for Flathub, they have shared modules for commonly used libraries that aren't in runtimes. (Many are related to games or legacy support like GTK2.)

So we're just reinventing the wheel with more bloat? Brilliant.

libxyz has security vulnerability:

Your distro updates libxyz. Fixed and every piece of software gets the fix for free.

Every single flatpak that uses libxyz has to update to include the fix. Let's hope all those package maintainers are on the their game.

You are now moderator of /c/Pyongyang

North Korea is best Korea. Why go to inferior Korea?
