So you’ve… compromised your own security. Grats?

I’m sure a certain narrative will be curated here.

Picture looks adversarial af. Caption: They’re all friends.

Yeah, okay.

Just as likely he’s now sending a pittance to other people in order to say he wasn’t targeting a group. You can send out a LOT of hundred dollar bills before you approach a billion.

What was the “gut” thing again?

Yeah, there’s another one not marked that’s been up for hours. “Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Security.” Yeah, okay. Funny joke.

For the uninformed, this is funny (and sarcasm) because there’s mountains of evidence of them together. Besides, you know, picking him for AG. But he tries this defense all the time anyway, and people actually believe it.

Just like explicitly Trump calling up members of Congress to kill the bipartisan border bill, and then blaming the Democrats for not passing a border bill. They sold that one on the campaign trail too, and it worked.

No. This isn’t a thing you need to “both sides”. There is nuance.

It’s bad for Netanyahu if settlers die. It’s good for him if Israeli people are threatened. His appeal is that he’ll protect them (including through killing others). If he fails to do that too often, he loses.

Hamas is fine with people on their side dying. Israel is not. Israel is accomplishing their goals through genocide. Palestinians would love to genocide Israel, but they can’t. That doesn’t excuse Israel actually currently committing genocide.

And there’s no excuse for settling land in areas that will keep Israelis in danger. The first settlers are Zionists, later people living there won’t (necessarily) be Zionists.

They don’t like algorithms. They want you to select which content you see.

That’s all I’ve got. Mastodon is a better, more open tech. And it’s pretty easy to get set up, relatively. It’s insane that companies haven’t jumped on it.

You don’t even have to quit Twitter. You can just post to more than one place and give people the option.

The same strategy is Hamas’s primary MO. If Israelis die, it’s good for Hamas. If Gazans die, it’s good for Hamas. On one hand, Israel should get a hell of a lot more blame than the Democrats. On the other, you can see how this powers Hamas strategy.

Blockchain is effectively a distributed database. Almost always a good centralized database functions better.

Needing everything to be a class

In 2015 they added scripting. If you’re making a real project, you should absolutely use classes. (It’s not that hard. Don’t do the Java shit.) But you can absolutely write one off scripts just fine.

AOT support is still lacking.

Publishing your app as Native AOT produces an app that’s self-contained and that has been ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled to native code. Source.

C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.

• It doesn’t (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn’t in the Java language. This isn’t in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
• It’s a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
• It’s open source
• It’s still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
• Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
• It’s one of the most common business languages.
• It’s going to be supported forever.

If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it’d be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.

I think Italian and Irish are now acceptable. Maybe choose one of those.

feel free to wow them with contactless payments

This is quite dated. Per Forbes, "Nearly 90% of U.S. consumers now use contactless payments, "

Tip at restaurants where they take your order at the table and bus your table, 15-20% of the total. Absolutely don’t tip at those kiosks at the counter. They’ll beg for a tip because software. You’re absolutely fine to hit skip or custom 0. Don’t normalize that shit.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

The House is still being counted. It’s very close, but not over yet.

Selling what data? It’s already public.

He doesn’t have the House yet.
