All code today is coupled to complex ecosystems which may thrive or perish later. There are no good solutions which can be given out as generic advice.
And even specific solutions to any tech stack can be hit or miss. Time kills all projects unless they are run in a frozen environment which itself keeps up with the times, constantly
I like them for their strengths, and avoid reading about stuff they are handicapped. After reading them for a while, I agree they are not to be used for gulf states politics, Ukrainian war, and some US politics.
But, if one avoids all that, there is some excellent coverage of many world events.
US politics there is hit or miss. Some writers just don't understand the USA. They understand how America affects their own countries but have half baked notions on what makes people in America "tick" on any side of the isle. But they have some excellent opinion writers too, who really get things. Those people would be called socialists here.
They do have some correct reporting of Ukraine, but that Russian bias is a bit too raw there for me, and that Russian bias is not related to their USA handicaps. Mostly different writers and editors
I don't think they understand China that much, and their Indian coverage is interesting on what they do report. And like many news sites in the USA and EU and Japan they tend to under-report African events; but do it better than most USA media sites
I am against plastics. Still use that material daily, but am nostalgic for when things were not made of the stuff.
I decided on my own that all plastics are somewhat bad, one way or the other: some are poisonous to me due to their solvents and additions to make them last longer; perhaps all bad for the environment; some just not a good material to use - but is because its cheaper.
Over the last year I have been more aware of microplastics, and how all plastics tend to give off evaporates and/or microscopic shedding. I am sure that collecting this for decades in my body is not good, and most probably is harmful in unknown ways now.
I suspect future generations will have more aversion to this material, at least I hope so
I was temp banned from all Reddit when I messaged the mods in a subreddit to complain about a post.
I think thousands of people did the same thing that day, it was a really obnoxious comment section that ticked off many ; but someone had connections and they issued everyone who complained a three day ban site wide.
Here is another take, I think the mortality patterns would have differences per county based on how many towns and food stores there are. But I don’t see it, for example Lufkin would have a higher life expectancy because so much of that county is a metro area, but it does not stand out against the other counties
Did you even read my comment in the mod log? Which part makes me a disgusting bigoted fuckhead, just curious ? I promise you I started out all innocent, but now, I am just seeing how far you will go. And who the heck is JAQing ? Something tells me I stepped into an unhealthy petty exchange.
Just for the record, I do not support murder at all
See,,, first I heard he was a grocery store owner.. and if I did not know why so emotional.? I only asked in my original comment who he was, but apparently this murder is being used by bad people for propaganda , which naturally brings out questions about this person, who he was, etc. The removal and your comment tells me I accidentally hit on a sensitive subject for some...
So what exactly was bigoted or misinformation on my comment ? I could not figure out how to message the mods, so asking here? I’m asking if he was a Zionist or a regular person caught up in all this ? I called the current Israeli government genocidal. Which triggered the response ?
Edit: I don't think I will ever get an answer, anyone can see that comment is not that horrible, and I did not even call anyone a zionist. I do not like power plays or censorship. Probably will avoid posting or commenting in this community after this, maybe
My fear is that most Americans do not talk to their neighbors , do not sit outside and mingle, do not go to church, mosque or temple, or to bars or places of sin, even. They sit at home, go to work. Back and forth, exhausted.
Two generations ago people had stronger community ties. Most people were still exhausted and exploited but complained face to face about it, to neighbors and people in the community they did not know. And that made all the difference to power social movements .
Something is broken here, in my community and I suspect other places, I don’t know how to fix it and have not seen any good fix proposed by others.
I think with time things will change for the better, but many things have to help
I think in normal times Musk would have had pushback, and investigations. And it’s shocking to read, even now.
I suspect in a few years, when comparing all the future things, this will be mostly forgotten; insignificant in the vast sea of misery tied to his name for all history .
If he is lucky, very very lucky, Musk will have a fallout from Trump early on and that will save his name and fortune from the inevitable backlash years from now.
If people hate him now, I faintly shudder to think of how he will be thought of later
I will never defend the incoming administration, I expect those horrid people will kill maybe 2% of the USA population over the next years, mostly by lack of services, medicine. But I’m sure there will be other horrible things happening also.
But Gaza was always going to be depopulated of Palestinians - and so will the West Bank. The crimes there will get worse and that is coincidental with the new admin, because this final brutality would have been aided by Biden and others in the USA.
