Would you say that all of those independant election observers were Russia puppets or China puppets? 🤔🧠

The only solution that can lead to peace is a single, secular, and democratic state with equal rights for everyone that prioritizes reparations and the right to return for all displaced Palestinians. Israel is a white supremacist ethno nationalist state that uses historical Jewish oppression as a strawman to link anti-Zionism with anti-semitism. There’s plenty of evidence for this from Zionism’s founders being atheists and admitting that their project was colonial, to the oppression of non-white jews such as the forced sterilization of Jewish, Ethiopian immigrants, to the rejection of Israel by jews worldwide. Judaism is a religion, not a nation, and advocating for a jewish state is no different than advocating for a christian state or an islamic state.

The 24 hour news cycle has truly broken everyone’s brains. The education systems in the west actually teach us about how complacency allowed for the Nazi program of extermination to be carried as far as it did. What do we even do now? We’re not organized. And it doesn’t seem to matter if we were since most of the population has been lulled into complacency.

At the company where I work, in the span of roughly one month, the term vibe coding went from being used exclusively in the derogatory sense to one that is now primarily used in the positive sense. Fuck big tech and fuck capitalism! Fuck all of this shit!!

Moscow rejected this, appearing to stick to its maximalist demands, including sweeping restrictions on Ukrainian sovereignty.

Generally speaking, the winner of a war will demand that their terms are met before agreeing to a truce. For the UK, a country that has taken part in its fair share of warfare, usually as the unprovoked aggressor, it’s surprising that they don’t seem to understand this.

And sovereignty for which Ukrainians? The current facist state, filled to the brim with neo-nazis? Or the the people of the Donbass who they stripped of their rights, banned their political parties, and began to ethnically cleanse of the region when they attempted to resist? Of course we know they are always speaking of the former. The Guardian, always the mouthpiece of the fascist UK state.

Cringe on a geopolitical scale

Touchpad buttons with dedicated middle-mouse-button

I miss touchpad buttons. I especially missed them on my last thinkpad t440s (RIP). That thing was mushy garbage. You could swap it out, but I didn’t end up using it enough to be bothered.

Good for you!

I’m also not getting rid of my Macbook and iPhone, at least for now

Oh… 😔

My work macbook won’t even let me mount an external storage device, but it doesn’t seem to care about my nextcloud client running in the background. Sorry for my blasphemous behaviour my cyber security comrades 🫡🥺

Blast! He’s always one step ahead, the handsome devil!

Am I blind or does it not say who the author is? They give major 🤡 vibes. Hilarious read.

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion […]

Can’t unsee!

Lol. I guess in this case the fact that it was buried all the way at the end is an improvement.

I enjoyed reading this but omg did my eyes glaze over when he started screeching about the “Uygur genocide”. And banning Maoist propaganda, LMao!

[…] with each country hoping to use EU money to push its own weapons systems as a form of industrial and jobs policy.

Isn’t that kind of the whole point? Or does he think that Russia and China will sell them the means to wage war against them? Those USA weapons orders aren’t being fulfilled any time soon.

I hope I never have to meet Ambrose Evans-Pritchard IRL. They’re unhinged.

How could DeepSeek do this!?!? 😫😫

I agree that there is a spectrum and that Facebook is certainly on the extreme end of the spectrum. But it’s not the topic of this thread that places them there. This thread is about performance based layoffs, something that is incredibly common in the tech industry. Most have quotas for “bad evaluations” and PIP that they target every cycle. It’s a dishonest approach and I don’t think I should have to explain how absurd it is to that these quotas exist. This is what I was speaking to in my previous comment and this is why most of these companies are “unprincipled” and belong somewhere on the “bad spectrum”, in my opinion.

In my experience, this is pretty much how the entire tech industry in the west operates. I’m sure there are some exceptions, but those exceptions can’t hire us all.
