Moldova is for sure not safe right now.

They are, if your definition of working is that inflation is down. No question inflation is way down. Unfortunately employment rates are also way down, and poverty is way up.

So are they working? Depends on the metric you look at. Reducing inflation is, in a vacuum, a significant success; though taken in combination with the secondary harms of austerity, it’s probably a net negative for many people, if not most people.

because it’s shit

But think of the street cred!

I mean, you could approximate a phone with a lot of SBCs out there right now, if you stuck a screen onto it. A lot of them even have SIM modules. If somebody wanted to go full hacker you could probably 3D print a case for something like a Banana Pi, stick a cheap touchscreen OLED panel in there and Frankenstein up a battery. Would be a lot of work though and I’m sure getting all the shit working would be nontrivial.

I’ve done this with a few other LemmyWorld communities I had and could be convinced to do the same here, however, it never works out quite well because you can’t properly redirect the old community to the new one on Lemmy. All you can do is post a sticky and hope people notice it, which means you’ll miss most of the users, or delete the community, which means it just goes poof and so users are unlikely to notice. It’s a problem that could use a better solution since the nature of the fediverse generates a lot of duplicate communities.

Understanding this joke makes me feel old.

Silicon Valley person here. There is a relatively developed tech sector there, with a growing startup scene in Tel-Aviv. So not a horrible place to have an office (from purely talent reasons, setting ethics aside). But not necessarily fantastic either. There are bigger and more developed tech scenes in other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Austria in particular have a lot of high tech semiconductor manufacturing companies which would be logical for a company like NVIDIA. As well as the added benefit of not currently waging a war against civilians.

The phrase “IRQ in use” is still enough to give me nightmares.

Israel never wanted a negotiated ceasefire because they’re the ones doing all the firing. Has Gaza shot back in the last 18 months?

Driving them out of life and into death, as seems to be the stated policy goal of the Netanyahtzees.

So if you Google for “democracy” you go to jail?

That’s actually an interesting point. And you’re right, the effects of their HK policy will surely be to remove any doubt in Taiwanese minds that they need to defend their island with force.

Sounds like the Netanyahtzees are already drooling over the prospect of more lebensraum.

Former Apple employee here, hardware is almost never let off campus but software alone can be. For example software engineers working on iOS, like this guy, would probably have development builds installed on their personal devices. It’s allowed but you’re obviously not supposed to let anyone else see or use the new features.
