TL;DR: Trump is disinhibited, perhaps pathologically so. Sometimes this has served him well; at other times it has led him to walk into trouble when others would have the sense to shut up. In his first presidency his impulsive urges (“can’t you just shoot them?”) were moderated by professional staff who would not always act on what he said. Trump hated this and Project 2025 is largely about ensuring that, in a second Trump presidency, the govenment at all levels is packed with Trump loyalists who will put his every order into action. So next time he orders protestors shot, it may happen.

The author asks many questions, but never the most important one: “Why don’t people like Windows 11?”

They complain about unprofessional communications then fill this article with whining like this:

Weeks elapsed with little to no activity, because they were super busy pretending to be doing something else out in the abyss of phantom world.

And they never seem to consider that maybe their own code wasn’t as great as they thought:

He finally built the coreboot ROM with our code, flashed it, and tried to boot the laptop, which displayed an FSP message. Max said he was surprised it made it that far. Why? We told them our code just needed debugging, but they didn’t want to believe it.

Why does the author expect it not to have problems? I know from experience that you can hand over your best, most thoroughly tested code to someone else and they’ll immediately find a problem you have never seen. How professional are these people if that surprises them? “But it just needs debugging!” is not the response of someone who knows what they’re doing and just needs a second pair of eyes on the code.

In the end this blog post backfires. They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.

Edit: After reading the links in another comment on this thread (sorry for the instance-specific link, will fix if someone can advise me on a better syntax), and in this reddit thread this is evidently only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Malibal’s behaviour. Definitely a company to avoid.

It’s a term invented by Last.fm that didn’t really catch on more generally because it’s too silly even for the Internet.

I’m strongly opposed to Trump but these headlines seem like a real stretch. It seems a couple of medical emergencies in the crowd interrupted things and music was played while Trump waited on stage, then at the end he stuck around while more music was played. He looked awkward, grooving along, but this isn’t what “Trump Breaks Down Onstage” suggests.

Pirating it is a bad idea if you’re downloading it from a non-Microsoft source, since malware would be a big risk. That would defeat the purpose of installing a supported OS in the first place. If you download it from Microsoft and use a pirated key maybe that would work, but would you get the security updates?

Regardless, if elected again, Trump will inherit the U.S. military’s regime-change plans for North Korea, modernized during his own prior administration. But he will also inherit updated, ultra-secret plans for CIA assistance in any such invasion

They won’t stay secret for long then.

Neither vote will. Trump’s even worse on Gaza, if that’s possible. So you may as well vote on other issues.

OK, yes, that is a bit odd. Thanks for pointing out that the numbers on my instance would be incomplete - I hadn’t thought of that.

Right now they have 897 posts and 2.99K comments, so that seems a bit less than your numbers. Looking at their history they seem to be human, not a bot, and they submit news stories in bursts, which isn’t as odd as if there were a constant stream of submissions. In between, they comment and discuss. I make it about 2.7 submissions or comments per hour. If they just have times each day when they binge Lemmy, that’s not in itself suspicious.

Edit: I agree now that this is a bit odd.

This rubbish reads like it was written by ChatGPT.

And so are 30-40% of Americans, who will set about killing the others as soon as they can. Many of the rest are sleepwalking and will suddenly discover their own love for fascism once it gets the upper hand. Once the USA is solidly fascist, other countries will start turning fascist rapidly. Many of them are already on the brink. It’s a very frightening time.

“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

What does that actually mean, “If the Fake News reporting is correct”? Does he just reflexively call news “fake news” even when he thinks it’s true?

“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

That must have been a short phone call.

It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s so stupid. It’s got to stop

I like to think that “it” refers to MTG here. It talks a lot of shit.

I dare you, Marjorie, to complain that we’re disrespectfully using the wrong pronoun.

Some of the dumbest and most aggressive comments I’ve seen on Lemmy came from lemmy.world. Most comments on it seem OK, but it does have a reddit-like flavour with a good number of unpleasant users.

This must be that famous Republican commitment to free speech and opposition to “cancel culture”.

What a weird situation where all the institutions of the country that talks the most about “free speech” constantly struggle to ban any criticism of a completely different country that is engaging in obvious genocide.

“Milton looks like another man-made storm, and it looks like Trump voters are victims. Is this really what’s happening?”

Yes! Great to see you have figured it out - better late than never! Now you can help us campaign for action on climate change!

“Biden and Harris are messing with the weather! Hurricane Milton was sent to Florida just like the other hurricane to wipe Florida out!! They know those are mostly Trump supporters who live in that state, so 85% of them won’t be able to vote next month,”

Ah ffs…
