First of all why are you digging up a 4 month old topic? About your quote, very cool never heard that one before…

Lets take a look at the thousands of dead directly caused by the actions of the Putin and his ilk. Just to make it really simple for the dumbest tankies at the back of the class. Russia invaded an independent nation. They are abducting children from said nation. They kill civilians without mercy. The DKP, instead of standing up to imperialism, makes idiotic statements about NATO expanding aggressively eastwards as if those countries didn’t join voluntarily for a good reason. That parties ideology distills down to “America bad, therefore Russia good” and it never changed. So I stand with what I said.

Thatcher had to be genuinely talked down from using Nukes

There are only two source I could find for any such claims. One is an interview with Michael Quinlan, former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, who claims that after the war ended Thatcher suggested to him that she would have considered using nuclear weapons if the war went badly enough. The other is this book by Mitterrands psychiatrist written ~20 years after the conflict. I only really think the interview is a credible source, and it sure doesn’t sound like they genuinely had to talk her out of using nukes at any point.

If Wikipedia is to be believed these people aren’t following Islamic rules. I’d wager that this is once again an issue that stems from traditions made for people of a different time. I assume slaughtering animals used to be a common skill but today expecting the average untrained city dwelling man to correctly slaughter a goat once a year inevitably leads to a lot of needlessly suffering animals.

Yes that happens, for some reason that user actively goes to FuckAI and bans people who posted there. I can only assume that they see disdain for AI as a personal slight.

Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

Why is this arbitrarily “a whole different story” and who said anything about UWP, it’s the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that “optional feature” and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

Ok, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer.

At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn’t offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

Also:

This looks like it was inspired by Vermis.

That’s a shame. Did they take the wasted developer time dealing with slop into account in that discussion?

Codeberg is cool but I would prefer not having all FOSS project centralised on another platform. In my opinion projects of the size of Godot should consider using their own infrastructure.

I think moving off of GitHub to their own forge would be a good first step to reduce this spam.

OK boys and girls who is acquiring the opiates and who is volunteering to ship the smallpox blankets? Its time to bring the US back under the colonial heel where they belong.

That’s about as realistic as the Russian court that fined Google for two undecillion roubles.

Try Listenbrainz, it creates weekly discovery playlists based on your listening habits.

They plan waste $130 million on AI bullshit. Imagine a fraction of that invested into the actual browser. I can’t even eat as much as I want to vomit.

Yes, for the Gnome ecosystem.

You can read about the reasoning here.

Basically using GTK alone became a lot of unenjoyable work for them because they didn’t want to depend on libadwaita and since its something they do for free in their free time it has to be fun.
