Have you watched the news recently?

Maybe you should get your news from a different source. Personally I prefer raw sources. I watch every official press briefing to hear from the horses mouth. You come to find that regardless of who is president news orgs put their own spin on it and you miss things they dont cover. Its all streamed on official government accounts.

Lmao, press briefings from the office of the führer is such a solid source to base your reality off of.

By the way if Kamala, Biden or Newsom was in office id also call them führer.

We live in a technocratic authoritarian state, the worlds largest prison population, the most police executions, we are actively sponsoring multiple genocides, we've killed over one million civilions in the middle east in two decades.

our politicians on both sides will go out of their way to protect pedophilic members of the ruling class...

But you want to tell us we're exaggerating or interpreting a reality that doesnt exist, i think youre the one who's been convinced through the regimes doublespeak that everythings alright.

Please revaluate. The US government is literally the 4th reich and actively committing halocausts on multiple fronts.


Do you know any history? You dishonor the people who died from horrible atrocities in WWII to make some glib performative political posturing. It's shameful behavior. Do better. Be better.

WWII didn’t start overnight. The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as “The Brownshirts,” have a strong similarity to what we’re seeing with ICE and CBP. The SA were Hitler’s enforcers before the SS, during the 1920s and early 1930s. They were eventually usurped by the SS during “Night of the Long Knives” where SA leadership were executed by the SS. Largely because Hitler had felt threatened by the power Ernst Röhm had amassed (among other reasons). And the SA, like ICE, was made up largely of untrained sycophants and thugs who enjoy violence. They committed violence, harassed citizens, and had no consequences for doing so. They were also instrumental in laying the foundation for the genocide and atrocities committed by the Nazi party.

It’s not a dishonor to their memories, or the atrocities committed, to call that out. It is not a dishonor to say there are stark and real similarities between the way the US is operating and treating civilians.

I personally find the opposite, IMHO it is dishonors their memories to refuse to acknowledge the similarities.

I’ve posted a comment similar to this one here before, and like how I ended it. I strongly encourage you to read about the history of Nazi Germany and how it came to happen. It wasn’t just a zero to death camps, it was 15 years in the making. That history is deeply shocking, as it is depressing, because the parallels and timelines are too similar for anything besides outright discomfort, sadness, and fear between it and the US. But without knowing it, we are ever more likely to repeat it.

One final thing to note: the US has a history of extreme violence, slave patrols and the treatment of non-whites of the 19th century were an inspiration for Hitler.


It would. But even then, it would still bloat your html/JavaScript and tank your Lighthouse score


Overthrowing government (and installing puppet government) is considered an unlimited objective.

This is what Russians would presumably also do if able.

So your point doesn't stand


Microsoft owns github


No, it's AMD based


Yeah, and they serve the same purpose.


Yes, to be a stylish product that brings people joy.

“They didn’t spend their money irrationally the same way I’d spend it irrationally, therefore they’re wrong” - this entire thread


I want it exactly as it is in Linux land. This is a solved problem. How are you so dumbfounded?


So why aren't you using GNU/Linux phones?


network effect. Assumptions made by other devs, banking and even government apps, etc


Linux had "stores" long before android


Yeah, and they are the primary way to install software for nearly every distro that has them.

And even when people install software on their user's home only, we don't call it anything different.

It's correct to say that "sideloading" was created to emphasize it's a deviant activity. I believe it was created by the people doing it, when they discovered hacks that enabled them. But I wouldn't be too surprised it was created by the companies trying to prohibit software installation.


>Yeah, and they are the primary way to install software for nearly every distro that has them.

But even on Android the word used is "install". When you try to install an apk, the button says "install", not "sideload". "Sideload" is only used in the context of google's blog post, where it's there to differentiate between installs from first party sources vs others. This is an important distinction to capture, because their new restrictions only apply to the latter, so something like "installing isn't going way" wouldn't make sense. "sideload" captures this distinction, and is far more concise than something "installing from third party sources". Moreover this sort of word policing reeks of ingroup purity tests from the culture wars, eg. "autistic vs person with autism" or whatever.


Personally, the first time I hear that word, it was about video game consoles. Smartphones weren't popular at the time.


The AI says the term sideloading, apart from its origin, was used to describe loading music via USB without iTunes on iPods.


I view Debian apt as helpful. I view Apple App Store as limiting and controlling.


You know, there's this thing called shifts. You should look it up.


Alternative hypothesis is that you work on trivial problems, and therefore you get a lot of help from LLMs. Have you considered this?


Im definitely not creating the next StuxNet for sure. So Ill bow down to whoever is writing the next C compiler I suppose.
