That would more than remove the debt.

No it wouldn’t! They’d just create even more debt, and then try to tell people that, if they’d start working earlier, and keep working later, and work harder, then… they could create even MORE debt.

Easy mistake for a newcommer to make. Now you know. Welcome, and keep it up.

FYI, you can (should) edit the title in this one so that it complies.

Dammit. I meant the third bullet in Rule #1… or something. 🫣

Rule #3 #1 (third bullet): Title must match the article headline

Article headline: Musk steps in - SpaceX blocks Starlink use on Russian drones

Yeah, if the police have to take them all into custody to investigate if it was real or not… It wasn’t being sold as clearly fiction.

Who’s got the hot new ideas so they can beat them to market.

Well, there’s an absolutely plausible motive that I hadn’t considered, yet. Fuuuuuuck.

closed source due to the small team

There are open source projects created and managed by a single developer. A “small team” is not a reason to be closed source.

All three streamers were then held in January last year but released after they insisted the on-screen violence was all part of “an act aimed at creating buzz so as to earn money”.

Act or not, I cannot quantify the utter disdain I have for anyone who wants to watch garbage like that. Absolutely shitty human trash, every damn one of them.

Edit: And just to be abundantly clear, I’m not talking about the two pieces of garbage that just got taken into custody. I’m taking about the thousands of pieces of human feces that were getting their jollies watching another person get abused.

Its website says the platform will remain “impartial” to political agendas, won’t shadowban users or content, and will “uphold social responsibility.”

I don’t feel, in this day and age, like you can be politically impartial (i.e. allow fascists to use your platform to spread propaganda) while simultaneously upholding social responsibility (i.e. not allow fascists to use your platform to spread propaganda).

I don’t recall God being a major contributor to Linux. There are lots of talented open source devs that are worthy of some gratitude, though.

I can’t argue with that.

but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”

we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.

It may be time for some malicious compliance.

Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.

Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and you’re just going to “put it in” without a second thought.

You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

Confirmed: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/danish-lawmaker-delivers-blunt-message-to-trump-over-greenland-229888069703 <- article from January, 2025

I found a bunch of “reputable” news sites all talking about this as if it just happened. I had to really dig to find something actually posted a year ago, but… there it is.

I fucking hate this “rush to publish, fact check later never” news cycle.

So, the date in the video above seems to be intentionally misleading. Downvoting.

Where are you getting that information? The article very clearly indicates that this happened on Jan 20, 2026, and there’s no date that I see visible in the video (in the article).

Edit. The video posted above actually does have a date, and it’s January 20, 2026. So, not a year ago at all.

one that saw the lawmaker censured for his use of an expletive.

Trump is rapidly turning one of their former allies into one of their worst enemies (against the will of it’s own people), and these asshats are afraid of someone using adult words.

I thought you meant actual staples… like for your stapler, and I was like, “Ok, you do you. Who am I to judge how someone prepares for the apocalypse?”

I think you mean more blurred, not less.

A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.

A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.

Distraction from the Epstein Files, … and oil.

“Damnit, Carter!”
