Your Overton Window has fell off the side of the building and broken on the pavement.

Editing people are opinionated and capable of programming.

Makes you hungry an hour later.

I absolutely do not discredit the scaling they’ve done in the manufacturing process, but if there’s one thing China does well, it’s scale manufacturing. That’s usually because they have much lower safety and quality standards, and might bring them up later on. But what they don’t seem to have, at least in these industries, is innovation in the underlying technology to any appreciable extent.

But hooboy, can they pump out solar panels and batteries when they’re taken off the leash.

And abso-fucking-lutely, we in Western countries continuously shoot ourselves in the foot with short-term thinking. There was a time it seemed when there were plans like the New Deal where thought was given to decades down the road. Today, the longest term outlook you see if 4 years. And that’s common across the board, I wouldn’t even place that just at the feet of the US. It’s a damn shame, and it’s the reason the middle class is getting hammered for the last 40 years. But we do know how to R&D, just now we can’t get build a manufacturing base without some grifter taking all the subsidies and shipping them offshore.

Now I’m depressed.

That they got from the West when CATL bought out a bankrupt US company that had developed LFP to commercial viability.

Use a firewall like OPNsense and you’ll be fine. There’s a Crowdsec plugin to help against malicious actors, and for the most part, nothing you’re doing is worth the trouble to them.

Shame they don’t have anything themselves that’s worth the trouble to copy back.

I do. Nobara specifically since it has the non-free repos and codecs by default, and a bunch of tweaks for gaming and editing already set up or easily added in the Welcome app.

To be fair, the normal operation of dealership software is hardly distinguishable from a complete malware infection.

I’ve dealt with Reynolds and Reynolds, and ADP, and they are utter bags of moldy dogshit at the best of times.

I’m fairly sure the entire universe is a mass of computronium that’s there for the sole purpose of running Doom.

While fish is easy to set up, I can’t even be arsed to do that most times, so bash ends up being the one I use most.

Except it wasn’t an exclusive choice question, it was multi-selection. So you could choose more than one OS (or distro). So this really doesn’t give much of an idea what the main OS is that people use. But it’s still going to be way higher than general users.

I’m sorry, that was more than 140 characters; you have failed, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I could believe all the psychopaths still use shitter. Anyone I see that links to it is either a financial news organization or the scum they cover.

The hero we need.

Good poop-take. +1.

Linux use among devs is much higher than gen pop.

Keep in mind, this adds up to more than 100% because it wasn’t an exclusive choice question, it was multiple.

It’ll come back.
