There’s a reason just in time manufacturing took over the world. Storage is expensive.

Or. You could just pay them more. Which would be politically way easier.

The only thing I know about this pope is what I’ve gathered from Lemmy comments. According to those:

He’s homophobic and anti-trumpism in the aspect of immigrants.

I think that’s a pretty average catholic. Homophobia and helping the poor.

Neither progressive nor fascist.

If a crate only takes 35 lines to reproduce. Why is the author worried that it is unmaintained?

That crate is probably done, it does what it needs to do. And at 35 lines there’s not a lot of room for bugs.

Just use the crate instead of rewriting the same 35 lines for each project that needs them.

Or publish your own 35 line crate as an alternative. Then you can use your 35 lines instead of that guy’s 35 lines.

I don’t understand the LoC bit. First he says the project+dependencies is 3.6MLoC. then says that the Linux kernel is 27.8MLoC, then says his project is 7. 7 what? 7%? That’s not right. 7MLoC? I thought it was 3.6MLoC.

Yes, .ml are tankies. They don’t have power outside their instance though. You are from lemmy.world. which means .ml mods can only ban you from participating in .ml communities (subreddits). Thy can also ban you so other users of .ml can’t see your content. But the rest of the instances will see it.

Blocking instances depends on what client you use. I use boost, and in boost you can block .ml communities from your feed. You can’t block content from .ml users though. I believe other clients allow you to block the users too.

If you want a wage. You want a job. You don’t give the product away for free.

If you give a product for free and the only revenue source being donations, you have to expect most people won’t donate, which means you’ll probably get a way-below-average wage.

It’s fine that they ask for donations. And it’s fine if people don’t pay them.

If their goal was to have an actual wage, they should ask for a subscription in order to stay on the site. Or one-time payment. Or advertising.

If the project is FOSS, it’s because their goal is not to have a good wage. Their goal is to have a job they enjoy and to have a product they want to have.

Who turned off starlink in Ukraine?

Because then you can’t change your password. Since you would have to decrypt all the hard drives that use windows with that account, and then encrypt them again with the new one.

This also means that if you forget your password you are fucked.

That’s whataboutism.

There are many factors for the housing crisis.

That doesn’t mean that you can only solve one of the factors.

RCV favours moderate candidates. If you are in a political extreme, you might argue that that’s not fair. But I don’t see how it not being perfect can result in a ban. Specially when the current system is more unfair.

There are many reasons you would be against china.

1. Not a democracy
2. Helping Russia in the invasion of Ukraine
3. Aims to invade Taiwan
4. You always want some amount of local manufacturing. Relying on a single supplier is never a good idea in any context if you can avoid it.
5. Helps north Korea
6. Claims international and other countries waters for itself
7. Uyghurs
8. Tibet
9. Many active border disputes due to territorial expansion aims.
10. Secret police stations to enforce it’s laws outside china
11. Hong Kong

Low prices doesn’t justify any of that.

And that (non-exclusive) list (except the 1st point) is only what affects people outside of china. There’s many other reasons to dislike the CCP that only affects the Chinese. Like mass surveillance and censorship.

I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.

You got lucky. Last time for me I waited 1hour+. Why? Because I ordered inside the restaurant instead of the drive-through. Apparently they have incentives to keep the drive-through queue small and fast.

And I’m not even in car land (America). It was in Spain. I cannot even imagine what ordering in car land from inside the restaurant will take.

EDIT:

Fast food still exists though, it just doesn’t come in the form of the usual American corporations. My local kebab fulfills the order in 5-10 minutes.

Well. In that case we have to either move on to argue why I believe that a stateless society is bad and you believe it is good. Or just call it here and agree to disagree. Whatever you prefer. Since I don’t think I can change your mind (on the basis of past experience about this topic, not something personal about you) or that you can change mine about that topic.

EDIT:

Or you could provide a different definition for “xenophobia”. But I don’t think I’ll agree to any other definition.

No I wouldn’t. Just like arguing a murder is not illegal grafitti, doesn’t make you pro-murder. Arguing that a specific genocide is not xenophobia does not make me pro-genocide. I absolutely hate what Israel is doing to the Palestinians and I believe that someone should assassinate Netanyahu and all of his pro-genocide people on power of the Israeli government. Or imprison them for life.

But you can miss my point all you want.

This specific technicality is important for your point though.

I’m gonna explain my reasoning so you can choose whatever you want have a conversation about.

Your claim was that putting citizens above non-citizens is xenophobic.

My point is that putting citizens above non-citizens is a natural consequence of a state. And furthermore, that it is a good thing.

Xenophobia is widely regarded to be a bad thing and that we should avoid it.

If both of our statements are true. The natural conclusion is that we should have a stateless society. I don’t think that a stateless society is a good thing. Therefore I’m trying to find a flaw in the argument. I think that the flaw is that you are wrong. So I have to have a conversation with you about why I think you are wrong.

If you are wrong, it must mean one of these statements are wrong:

• Putting citizens above non-citizens is xenophobic.
• Putting citizens above non-citizens is a natural consequence of the state.
• Xenophobia is widely regarded to be a bad thing and we should avoid it.

Since 2/3 statements are made by me, of course I think they are true. So I’m going to argue about why the first one is wrong.

The only way to proof your statement to be wrong is by first defining what xenophobia is. Which you might call a technicality, but I don’t think it’s possible to have a conversation if we don’t first agree what the meaning of the words we use is.

After defining what xenophobia is, we have to figure out if the “equation” is true: “putting citizens above non-citizens” = “xenophobia”.

How were they absent for the vote? They better have a good reason.

The results of an action being done for a reason being discriminatory does not make the reason invalid.

Almost any policy is discriminatory.

Taxing the rich more is discriminatory against the rich. Helping women out is discriminatory against the men. Ending segregation is discriminatory against people that don’t want be near people different to them. The list is endless.

I assume you agree with all 3 of those policies. Yet they are discriminatory. Those 3 policies are done because of very valid reasons.

There are very few policies that I’d say are not desceiminatory. Like universal basic income or universal healthcare. And even then, by your definition of discriminatory, those would be discriminatory. Since they would still discriminate against non-citizens.

There is no world where a person born in X country that has never left X country to receive income from a UBI policy of Y country. Unless X and Y countries have some sort of deal where that happens.

Ask any trump voter why they voted for trump. They will say “because I like his policies more”. Ask them which policy do they think will benefit them, they will have no answer.

Anti British empire people:

The Brits are horrible! Look how they divided the world in countries with straight line borders without care about the local population’s culture!

Also anti British empire people:

The Brits are horrible! They made 2 separated countries due to their culture being different!

You can’t blame the British on this. Countries are supposed to be groups of people that are geographically connected and have similar cultures. Religion is a big part of culture.

Of course leaving I think leaving Kashmir to decide their own fate was a mistake. In retrospect, they probably should have divided them in 2 and give part to Pakistan and part to india. Or alternatively force them to become a separate state with a constitution that doesn’t rule out the idea of separating in 2, and each part could decide independence or join their culturally-similar country.
