It might come as a shock, but being USian is not a requirement on the Internet

GH is down every second day, yet we’re still alive

Now think about how much worse it is for every non-English western language! But good luck with your endeavour.

Merz? Is that you? Building the next strawman so you can keep ruining the country next election?

You wanted them to turn this into an advertisement?

AUR is not the official distro. Complaining about arch because of the AUR is like complaining about Debian because you npm install some malware

It’s difficult to take people shitting on arch in here seriously. I’ll take 1h per year fixing whatever broke over a whole weekend upgrading Debian.

Oh and god forbid you need to compile yourself a package and maybe a few of its dependencies from scratch because that 6 years old bug didn’t make it through the freeze last release.

In case you didn’t know, France speaks French, not Spanish or Portuguese.

Try calling people “nègre” over here and see for yourself.

Besides, “preto” is (AFAIK) more used than negro in Brazil. As americanised as Brazil is, I believe their own history gives them the right to adapt their own language if they wish to.

Trump supporting your stance is not the flex you believe it is

Lots of people shilling for Big Oil in this comment section

And a lot of people don’t resort to these extreme solutions either. By painting everything as inexorable, you justify the cycle of oppression.

but through businesses taking loans.

… Also called “printing money”.

The classic inflation from the economy working a little too well is not a flat tax, since both wages and prices are growing

Inflation doesn’t cause wages to grow proportionally, despite what some Harvard wankers like to pretend. Theoretical models are interesting in science, but for something like economy, they are completely useless.

Classic inflation erodes the savings of the rich, and erodes the debts of the poor.

Capital ROI is almost always greater than inflation, meaning wealth inequality increases regardless of inflation. This is before taking into account that physical assets (e.g. housing) also increase in value through inflation, meaning the owning class never loses money to inflation.

Again, theory and practice diverge pretty much entirely.

Inflation is a concept created by governments to be able to run on a perpetual deficit (necessary when you privatise everything profitable by selling it to your buddies). Making a tax on the poor is a “nice” benefit, but don’t be mistaken: if the owning class saw it as a threat to their wealth we’d be back to the gold standard already.

Many people in France will have 39 h/week contracts, but because the legal workweek is 35h, you actually accumulate 2 extra days per month worked

AFAIK some bio/organic farms use cats for pest control rather than the alternative which is, I guess, poison/traps.

Half of these startups are AI experts selling their own snake oil. I would wait after the bubble explode before getting excited

Germans are the least trustworthy partners when it comes to military. So no, we don’t need them to create new ways to slaughter their neighbours.

We still don’t have an EU replacement for Visa/MasterCard, Intel/amd, nvidia/amd, but building these takes more than a couple of chatgpt prompts

the lack of a built in package manager made people manage dependencies more thoughtfully

Unless your colleagues are idiots and now you get to maintain your own homemade “package” “manager”. I find conan to be bidet in a world of diarrhea.

Of course they are different. You can guess because we even have two different words for it

That’s grossly over simplifying the problem. “Clean code” is also not a formally defined concept, which could include anything and everything.

I’ve had more performance problems due to hacky workarounds, themselves necessary because of lack of foresight during development, rather than a slow abstraction (in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the latter)

Why would the Dutch/Polish/Germans speak more languages?
