For me it’s pretty clear he was a kind of a freelancer selling info to everyone. He wasn’t pretending to only work for Russians or the Israelis. Most likely he started working for the CIA and then became an independent influence peddler. He knew everyone, could connect you to anyone and sell you intel if you had the money. He was useful to everyone so everyone protected him.
I strongly suspect a lot of those Trump voter coming to their senses is just Democrat propaganda. It’s a good strategy. Pretending you used to like Trump but now you don’t encourages other voters to think about their choices. It’s more effective than just calling them stupid.
Even if it’s true they don’t say they will support democrats now. Those people will leave Trump for MTG or other grifter.
Yes but who funded Epstein?
Plot twist: It was Zionist terrorist.
Why not both?
It’s also terrible lip syncing. He looks completely lost.
Pay for a newspaper? Thanks, I will rather spend my money on supplements advertised between conspiracy theories served to me by some crazy person on YT.
I’m sure some people would still be able to code just fine on crap hardware but it’s silly to think Open Source will not suffer if access to good hardware is limited.
Just running rust-analyzer for not-so-big project requires 5GB of RAM. Inspecting libraries will start another process and I sometimes have 2 projects open at the same time. You can work without it, using simple text editor but DX will way worse and unless you’re some Rust guru you will work slower. Compilation time will be way worse on older CPU so you will iterate slower. That’s why Linus is using a Threadripper.
Running integration tests for Java project I’m working on maxes out my 16 core CPU. My co-workers with older laptops struggled to set up the development environment and build the project because they were constantly running out of RAM.
Yes, we were all writing code 20 years ago in vim with just syntax highlighting but new stacks and new tools require new hardware.
Dude, I’m coding every day and I know what hardware requirements I have. You can write some code slowly on a potato but a lot of software development requires tons of RAM and powerful CPU. Linus Torvalds is using Threadripper 9960X for a reason.
It’s Russia and Is… cough cough… Kazakhstan.
easiest way to track literally everything you do on your system.
And ban undesired activities. “We see you’re building app to track ICE agents. That’s illegal. Your account was banned and all your data removed.”.
People don’t just use computers for gaming. If this continues people will struggle to do any meaningful work on their personal computes which is definitely not good. And I’m not talking about browsing facebook but about coding, doing research, editing videos and other useful shit.
Despite the apparent rise in republican sentiment and the unusual prime ministerial intervention, the dial hasn’t moved on the status of the monarchy among Norway’s wider political class. In a strange coincidence, a vote that takes places every four years in parliament on making Norway a republic was held on Tuesday. Just 26 MPs voted in favour of getting rid of the monarchy, against 141 who voted to keep it. Support was in fact lower than the last time a vote took place, in June 2022, when 35 voted in favour of a republic. The measure requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
Shame people that can do something about it don’t care.
Agree. I think everyone should skip to make a point but my guess is most politicians will go to ‘show respect for the office’. Most of them are spineless PR machines.
Do you think Obamas will go to Trump’s funeral? Do you think they should?
Two politicians and one royal is hardly “Europe’s political class”. It’s more than in US, sure, but I don’t think enough politicians from Europe are mentioned in the files to have any real impact. Starmer might resign but his position wasn’t strong to begin with.
Very interesting. I assumed that police always held privileged status in US but this could be simply because they are always portrayed like that in movies, even historical ones. The PR is definitely there. In pretty much every movie caps break the laws and ignore rights of everyone and it’s shown as something necessary and even ‘cool’. Bad guys don’t deserve rights…
I was predicting Trump will start arresting journalist by the end of 2025. Wrong by a month.
What they are describing is not a Democratic president. It’s an independent candidate running on the Democratic ticket.
