Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it’s policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

We’re talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

It’s not racism. They have to follow the LAW.

This practice is really a banana republic practice. It’s like handing out cash in party flyers in corrupted banana republics.

The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

WAS should be the correct verb tense. He saw it was useless as it would split the vote with Trump and now he is behind Trump. He’s trying to get his name off the ballot so he doesn’t hurt Trump’s chances of winning.

I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.

It’s easy to explain. You and I are critical thinkers who do our own research and are not easily swayed. As for her, she herself said that she didn’t do any research, but was influenced by her family:

But Hemphill said she usually votes for whoever her mostly Republican-supporting family recommends. Her family, drawn to Trump’s rallies and messaging, drew Hemphill in as well.

“I didn’t realize that brainwashing was happening with Trump in 2016…this is how they would talk to me. ‘Pam, you know, the Democrats…are trying to take over. They’re getting more aggressive.’ I tend to believe them. You know, I wasn’t doing my own research.”

She said coming across facts by researchers helped her gradually drift apart from the MAGA group. Serving time in prison made Hemphill also rethink “who Trump really was” and the misinformation he spread surrounding the 2020 election, she said, to the point where she lost all support for him.

And that’s why skepticism and critical thinking is important for a healthy democracy: you don’t get carried away by these rhetorics and get brainwashed.

The problem first became apparent to Tesla in March of this year after complaints about unintended hood opening from Chinese customers. By April, it had identified the problem as deformation of the hood latch switch, “which could prevent the customer from being notified about an open hood state.”

Given that China is now an electric car superpower, this situation will not bode well for Tesla in that country.

Librewolf and Floorp are good Firefox based alternative browsers.

But he is right. As long as a distro is maintained by one individual, it is at risk of being discontinued at any time he can no longer maintain it.

For old posts. I can’t find new posts on DDG. I find them on Google but not on DDG.

Ah come on! Why no Firefox support?!?

Yup.

More detail is good for technical users, but extremely confusing for non-technical users. There needs to be a balance between what’s good for both groups, and I think the current design is a good one.

What’s wrong with it? It’s very clear in my opinion.

Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.
