I don't care, I don't want no damn Direct Rendering Manager, oh no siree.

Is Tumbleweed really immutable? I thought it was just an RPM-based rolling release distro.

I'm not your comrade, friend.

We need to reach a consensus on that across EU. Allow for a few decades, then we can make an informed decision and start to plan how to proceed.

Meloni also said she hoped Trump’s “confrontational” approach on European defence would be a much-needed “stimulus” for the continent to take responsibility for its own security.

It looks like it will. Trump is uniting Europe and we're finally asking ourselves some hard questions. European de-facto dependency on the US for defense has never been ideal.

I dislike how they've started to promote some weird cryptocurrency. It's never a good sign.

What the hell is going on with the kerning in that screenshot? My eyes, they bleed.

I'm sure there are many cases where tech companies just cannot find local talent, but it wouldn't surprise me if the H-1B provision is also misused to get less expensive labor. This could ultimately make it less attractive for locals to get into the field at all, since they cannot compete on salary. It also contributes to brain drain from developing countries. Personally I'm not going to shed a tear for Amazon in this case.

It's disappointing and very stupid that so many people just love buying toxic crap they don't need, produced by people who are effectively slaves.

That said, the left loves to pretend we are headed towards a "circular economy" and that stuff like Temu is holding that back. While this is a beautiful thought, the notion that people who are OK with Temu will embrace an alternative model of repairs and small second-hand family-owned local shops is just a fantasy.

They plan to rewrite it in Swift, which may or may not help.
