What if I want to take the cab but I'm not a cutie?

The worst chat app I've ever used. Impressively bad

Grade level crossings mi amor

Fox News and some other outlets like it are pure propaganda. I don't have an answer to it, but it's very frustrating that we're apparently so defenseless and helpless against something that's intent on destroying democracy. We have no active defenses.

That's not unique to capitalism. That's just what living in a society made up of humans is like. Incompetence and malice (whichever applies) will exist for as long as there are people.

Are women more emotional than men? Maybe. Maybe not. But I've never heard anyone accuse Hillary Clinton of being too emotional.

Palantir? Wirklich? Was ist de-facto ein teil der Amerikanischen Geheimdiensten auf Deutsche daten loslassen? Ok 👍

The government is liberal, not lefty. Very different. But they seem like reasonable politicians. Boring. Normal. Not like this disaster.

You didn't have to write this.

Vielleicht wegen Alzheimer. Manche Leute werden damit sehr aggressiv.

MPL for libraries, AGPL for applications.

Bad things also happen outside the concentration camp. Everyone is oppressed in a fascist state. Besides, there were other ways than skin color and nose size to end up in a concentration camp under the Nazis. Having the wrong books was enough. If you truly think the US is going all the way then the rational thing to do is to get out before you no longer can.

Oh, everyone does this and it's not new. The US has done this an absolute ton, and is still doing it in, for example, Iran. Arguably the US exists because France did this to the British empire, although France was unusually direct in its support of the rebels. Recently, Pakistan did this with Afghanistan. It's incredibly common.

In such a scenario you have bigger issues to worry about. Your first priority should then be to emigrate far far away, ideally across some sort of ocean. If this seems like an overreaction to you, then what you're experiencing may not be comparable to the actual Nazi party.

I'm a big fan of open source, but I just don't think so. Companies and governments want to outsource hosting, cloud, and other IT work to big full-service corporations like Microsoft. If the EU wants digital sovereignty, it's going to need one or more Microsoft-like corporations capable of delivering full-service solutions. The alternative is to contract with consultancies like Accenture to set up and administer Linux desktops, Libreoffice, cloud storage, and so on. That's doable, but companies and governments just don't want it. They want low-risk common solutions with predictable billing (i.e. not Accenture).

Some of it is legit self-sustaining grassroots stuff. Some is funded by Russia (curiously I don't think China does this stuff a lot). Some in the first category started as stuff in the second category.

This is standard geopolitics. You find dissatisfied people in the population of countries you don't like, and then you support those people in various ways in order to destabilize your competitors.

Unless your parents are abusive and don't love you - don't actually cut contact. That's probably a bad life decision.

Would love to block .ml. The stuff coming out of there is just too dumb.

I'd be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.

The principal is not necessarily any smarter than the teachers. Often it's the opposite.
