Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.

I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.

So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that…

For me its been almost 0%. :) Very happy with it.

Flatpak has annoyances like sometimes not following your icon theme, or just generally looking out of place because not picking up system defaults.

It works but I avoid it. On Arch Linux, there is a huge AUR repository where users have made native packages, and thats usually much better than Flatpak. But on Ubuntu, Flatpak is the only option sometimes.

Hitler got elected because people wanted change. And he was appearently very popular at first, with a very unique, strong and beautiful voice and nice blue eyes that the ladies went for. Tons of charisma.

Of course almost all mentions of Hitler shows him as a raving lunatic, because thats how we want people to think about him. But its dangerous, because it doesnt show how someone like that actually ended up in power and was popular and listened to by the entire country. How he did that is what we need to pay attention to. He probably had a simular mix of charisma, confidence and even charm that the orange man has.

You guys have to be careful to not let Trumpster get too far. They never teach at school how to go against leaders, because they want obedient workers. But you have to learn that and realize how some peoples brains are tricked into supporting someone like this.

Some people on wall street say we are going to have the greatest economy in history

Im not very educated about these things, but which countries have isolated themselves from free trade and are rich?

That thing with taking the day off to go vote is incredible. They could put that day on a weekend, like we do in my country, and I assume most countries.

I dont know, America is intentionally going for being a very bad country to live in unless you are rich.

Where is big tech in this picture? They are the ones making the billions from it.

Governments should be funding the most popular open source software that the world relies on. And big tech should not be allowed to just take it and make billions from it. That was never the intention. It was open source because profit was not the end goal.

Oh no, the convict lied.

This is the dangerous part about being someone like trump. Everyone expects him to lie and fuck things up, so when he does, nobody is outraged and there are no consequences.

Also people are afraid of him. A classic bully. I was watching how he said on tv how he is a nice guy. Its amazing.

Ok this is the third thing he says i agree with in these 100 days.

I think its funny but also sad. Since I dont live in America, I dont feel so annoyed, but obviously its very embarressing for America that this is the best man that could be found for the job as president.

Any ceo is just going to be a puppet for Musk anyway.

I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.

Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.

Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?

Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.

Is that Michael Jackson in the picture to the left of pezoz?

Probably everyone died to him first time. You dont know the game so well and he can kill you with one or two hits.

When will people learn to not have anything to do with the orange orangutang.

I dont know if its possible to reverse course anymore. The world has seen what Trump is.

I stil cant believe this narcissist is the god damn president of the United States. Every day im actually surprised to not be having a nightmare.

Im not joking. The man has no empathy and he is running the United States now.

Never met a trans person working in IT but ive seen a lot of them on Lemmy and Mastadon.

So I think its just a social media thing. The ones that exist are very active and cares deeply about being visible online.

Yeah I dont pick investments based on their morality. I believe thats a losing strategy.
