Agreed. Plus most people pay companies for the support and trust they have, rather than for the simple functionality of a component or product. There’s always been cheaper and even free alternatives to lots of established products, but companies understand there’s value in having support when things go badly, and in having a different set of eyes handling that component instead of having to dedicate your own workers in house. So even from a business proposition cloning these apps doesn’t do shit. We need either more work in existing foss projects (if they’re designed well enough) or make new ones with extreme care if we ever want to make good replacements for proprietary stuff.

Didn’t Harris say Iran was the biggest adversary or some shit? It’s crazy you believe it’d have been different under the democrats when historically they’re the same outside of your borders. Even AOC is shit at foreign affairs, and Mamdani did his part in legitimizing the shit they did to Venezuela and Cuba. So no, you’re wrong, and if you see us as humans you gotta be better and do better so we have a world tomorrow, and so our neighbors don’t get disappeared or bombed in the meantime.

Unless energy prices go down a bunch I don’t see it being profitable, but I could be wrong

Of the big instances, Lenmy dot ml has a reputation for being moderated in a biased way.

As long as there’s moderation, there will be bias. I agree with most of what you said though.

Do you know which US figures or agency said that?

what a silly goose

yup

It still shows a complete lack of solidarity with the rest of marginalized people, including those being ethnically cleansed inside the US, and to those being bombed, droned, sanctioned, starved, etc abroad. Sanders is a liberal Zionist, AOC is pro-imperialism in Latin America, and even Mamdani conceded a lot of nonsense to the right, even agreeing with gusanos that Cuba and Venezuela are dictatorships, doing his part in normalizing the atrocities we see now there by the US government. Mamdani is the best of the bunch by far and he’s still bad to us.

We believe in organizing as the primary means of achieving change, voting is just a very small part of what we do, but if these politicians want our votes shouldn’t they appeal to us? Our comrades in the US have a simple demand, no more genocide, no more wars, you don’t give us that much, you don’t get our vote. Or, if we’re so insignificant we can be ignored, then don’t removed about us not voting for you when you lose. Either way, it seems like being 99% hitler as opposed to 100% hitler isn’t good enough to win elections anymore, and that’s a good thing.

Thank you

That’s how I feel about autocompletion and scaffolding, we’ve had LSPs and code generators for years, and they’re exponentially less wasteful
