  And the sad thing - even at its worst, the US is still a better place to live than 80% of the world.

  I’d say it depends on what you value. If one is born of a certain caste (or above) and wants to accumulate stuff, I’d say you’re right.

  Forget what it says on the tin. To truly understand a society, look at its institutions.

  Education isn’t valued by the sociopaths that run the US.

  There can always be more!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google settles with Epic Games, drops its Play Store commissions to 20%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads as far as the eye can see… and more!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To people in the real world, it sure seems like it. I think the people managing the product (middle management on up) live in their corpo bubble so far from reality, they don’t feel/hear or have to deal with actual state of things.

  Short term profitability over all else seems to be the mantra.

  That’ll teach him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The parasites are still making money. Rocking the boat would temporarily interrupt the party, they’ll continue to party until they’re forced to change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word or phrase in your language to describe the situation when you wanted to fart but shit yourself?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hilarious! if you don’t mind me asking, what is the country of origin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good present to get your dentist and dental assistant as a way of showing thanks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agrees. Nothing makes them happier than clean, well maintained teeth and gums.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The repo specific config is a single file. You can also import templates/other files if need be. I worked in a shop where Devops set up a bunch of templates for generic, common jobs which made getting started easy. If custom config/code is required, overriding a templated job was easy. I was responsible for migrating my team’s ~50 repos (services, libraries, etc) from Jenkins + Bitbucket into Gitlab and found it to be pretty straightforward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gitlab CI feels native. Github offers similar functionality but it feels/looks like an afterthought. I think the Gitlab .yaml structure is more intuitive. Also, how the Gitlab UI visually represents a pipeline is mcuh better, IMO.

  Note: I don’t work for Gitlab

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all use for CI/CD?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, Gitlab CI/CD blows Github out of the water. They’re not even in the same league. I recommend Gitlab + self hosted runners (it’s so easy).

  I’ve been using Gitlab for many years and host my own runners as of the past 6 months because I nearly exhausted my monthly free tier runner minutes one month.

  I hate to say it but they likely won’t. Establishment democrats are complicit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess as well. Historically, the FBI has spent substantial resources infiltrating groups deemed even the smallest threat to state power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet. Google is an ad company that pushes ads nearly everywhere else. Shareholders/Wall St. demand infinitely increasing year over year profitability. It’s only a matter of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 Patch Due Out Today, PC Performance 'Our Top Priority,' Gearbox Says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being a patient gamer is the way. If a game is worth playing, it will be patched/tuned and healthy in 6 or 12 or 18 months. Much cheaper also.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Avoids Harshest Penalties in Landmark Search Monopoly Ruling⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So no consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Foundation says yes to NoSQL via DocumentDB⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, the damage is done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Foundation says yes to NoSQL via DocumentDB⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DocumentDB is a NoSQL-ish database implementation built on PostgreSQL that has been accepted by the Linux Foundation. It was created by Microsoft (under MIT license) in response to MongoDB’s more restrictive licensing.

  Time will tell what adoption is like or if Mongo will change it’s licensing to be more permissive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, of course. Putting geopolitics aside, Starbucks coffee is overpriced and not good. I wonder what the CEO who commutes via private jet to work will take away from this. Likely nothing.
