A horse can call itself a duck, but that doesn’t make it a duck; it’s still a horse.

Likewise, a country that calls itself communist while practicing capitalism under a hierarchical ruling party isn’t communist. Even if every member of the CCP had equal say in the country’s policies and direction, 8% of the total population is far from representing the working class, let alone being led by them.

They’re not communist, correct. They’re capitalist.

Don’t forget to add incompetent leadership to that list. If feature needs to be shipped by some arbitrary deadline and the engineers are forced to rush through the design process, you end up with a patchwork hack of tech debt that leads to more tech debt.

On █████████, Jeffery Epstein’s communications with ████████████ and ██████████ confirmed the █████████ of ████████. In a private █████ exchange, ████████ discussed the █████████ of ████████ for ███████. The ████████ was then scheduled to ██████████ with █████████, and would then meet up with Bill Clinton at the █████████ of ██████████. Flight logs for flight ██████ corroborate the meet up between Bill Clinton and █████████.

Further investigation into ████████ revealed the █████████ with █████████ and Bill Clinton. █████████ Obama ████████████ purchase █████████████ Bill Clinton ████████ and Do███████████████. ████████████████████████

Much like “blood is thicker than water”, the saying “facts don’t care about your feelings” is misleadingly taken out of context from a larger quote. The actual saying is,

“Facts don’t care about your feelings, and neither do I. In fact, I don’t care about your facts, either. Fuck your facts, and fuck your feelings. My feelings tell me that I’m right and that’s a fact.”

Well, now that’s just inaccurate. The hundredth-time programmer isn’t going to use a rake; the hundredth-time programmer is going to use a tool::basic_tool<tool::manual_operator<species::human_t>,tool::handle_type::wood,tool::pronged<5>>.

or that you’d get to enjoy your split of the initial bounty.

You say that like either of them will get that initial bounty. It’s going to be the same-old shit as tip lines, with some clause like “your tip must directly lead to a conviction to qualify” that’s just vague enough for them to claim that the deciding factor was their own work and not the tip.

Mac is very similar to Linux in that it comes with bash (these days zsh) and a lot of the command line tools you’d expect on Linux, including gcc

No it doesn’t.

The gcc command is a wrapper for clang, and the clang command is a stub that runs an executable used to install the “Xcode Command-Line Tools”

It also uses the BSD coreutils, rather than the GNU coreutils present on most Linux distros. The two are only compatible up to functionality defined by the POSIX standard, and anything beyond that is an inconsistent mess.

Windows is more difficult. The command line is very different (it inherits from DOS instead of Unix like both Mac and Linux). It doesn’t come with Python pre-installed

If you limit yourself to not using WSL, sure. WSL 2 runs an actual Linux kernel with the same Linux executables you would find on any other distro.

It’s still Windows and full of telemetry and AI garbage nobody wants, but it somehow manages to have better Linux compatibility than macOS.

Even Musk, for all his recent evil got rich trying to reduce our dependence on gas cars.

Everybody else already covered his role in Tesla, so let’s look at something else that demonstrates his concern for the environment and his fellow species:

He has a datacenter in Memphis running 35 “temporary” methane generators to power Grok, the self-described “Mecha Hitler” AI. All but a dozen of them are being used without permits for permanent generators, and none of them have air pollution filtration systems installed. Oh, and it’s near a low-income community that was already plagued by air pollution.

“Every accusation is a confession.”

Fuel efficiency—the measurement for getting more mileage out of the same amount of gasoline. Congratulations, MAGA voters, you played yourself! When you pick up that new pile of trash made by Ford or Stellantis (and I know you will because they’re AMERICAN* cars), I hope you enjoy the higher gas expenses that you voted for.

* With the extra irony being that many of those “American” brands are owned by Stellantis, which isn’t even headquartered anywhere in North America.

they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it

This complaint is missing the forest for trees.

Special classes of people have existed for as long as civilization has exited. Leaders and followers, kings and peasants, the wealthy and the poor, etc. As animals, it’s in the nature of some of us to desire a greater share of resources and luxury at the cost of depriving others from having the same.

An article repeating the notion of people with specific skin tones are part of a privileged class isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of the problem. The problem is the bigots who put that into practice, singling out and causing problems for people with specific tones while providing benefits to those with other specific tones. Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity, it’s just going to get rid of discussion about class disparity. The racists will still be there, being racist.

The only way that username would check out is either if it was owned by a pushy and holier-than-thou social progressive with zero self-awareness, a conservative with a small world view that feels “owning the libs” is a personality trait, or a troll.

Now, considering your account was created on this platform two days ago, just called the resident population of Lemmy stupid, and drink whatever kool-aid Musk is selling, it’s a toss-up between the last two.

Much like Musk himself, it seems.

OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don’t want to see the difference.

After the posts were deleted, Musk responded in a statement, saying, “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me. For the record, I am a fat retard.”

Derogatory use of the term aside, it looks like it’s time to reset the counter back to “[0] days since Elon Musk actually said something true”

If only it were that easy. A conversation with one of them would go something more like this:

“It’s not Trump.”

“Okay, prove it!”

“I don’t need to because THIS IS AMERICA, and it’s INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.”

“Like the people arrested by ICE?”

“THEY WERE CRIMINALS!”

“Even the 93% without criminal records?”

“THAT’S FAKE NEWS, LIBTARD”

Say what you will about medieval monarchies, but at least those had the good sense to permit a court jester to speak foolishly of the head of state.

Recently?

The attack was coming from ::1

Or if that’s too unbelievable, fe80:: has some scary implications while also not likely to ever be a real device.

The other reason is that I’m kinda verbose.

Some say, “why many words when few work?”

Others express their freedom to choose exactly to what extent of verbosity and verbiage they consider necessary in order to accurately and effectively communicate their previously-unspoken thoughts either through private correspondence or statements to some subset of the general populace.
