President Castro has also faced a divided congress and hostile mayors in many municipalities. The highly militarized police forces and the army have strong ties to the US. Further, a corrupt legal system and the abiding influence of Honduras’s oligarchic, very wealthy families who control much of the country’s industry, commerce and agriculture challenge popular rule. That Castro has secured her many achievements under all these constraints is remarkable.

it’s remarkable that any leader in latin america is capable of doing this and these conditions make me skeptical that the us empire will ever lose ground to brics.

i sometimes wonder if holding anyone in the media to any kind of journalistic integrity is realistic anymore

Rising interest in leaving the U.S. is shaped not only by age and gender but also by political attitudes. In 2025, there is a 25-point gap in the desire to migrate between Americans who approve and those who disapprove of the country’s leadership.

makes sense

i wish this had some sort of explanation of its chances of succeeding in congress.

my bet would be american kompromat.

that sounds unhinged.

is this hostile state attention in the room with us? lol

i’m asking you to back up your assertion by sharing the people who are already sharing themselves on rednote; so there’s no doxxing application here.

i’m a queer on rednote and its algorithms show me queer content and creators and i have yet to see one echo a sentiment that matches your assertion.

share the people you’re following on rednote and we can find out

surprised to learn that he was never aligned with isis; i saw him as osama bin laden 2.0.

everybody else is doing it. lol

the queer influencers on rednote say otherwise

yes and that’s why i said europe and not the eu

which platform and which influencers?

I wonder why this is needed. Why would a shopping center need long-range wireless networking devices?

it’s really common in retail where they have an interest in data analytics of their customers and don’t trust their landlord or local isp (or have no isp readily available to them)

try saying that you support palestine action publicly in the uk. lol

i got to jump back in recently w a new laptop that came w windows.

i’ve been buying linux first hardware for the last decade and going through this exercise has been eye opening for; i wasn’t aware of much the landscape has changed.

it will if you try for yourself instead of making assumptions based on uncritically accepting american propaganda.

most of the influencers i follow do both and i was getting the sense last night that some of them do the former to make the latter more bearable.

logflip sounds more fun. lol

very true and cryptic codebases w/o documentation was the only reason why i was employed for the last 20 years. lol

interviewing & working w the young people hired at my last 2 places who used ai to get work done MUCH faster than i could showed me how much of a dinosaur i was and it was the biggest contributing factor to leaving the field. my experience in the last 10 of those 20 years makes me aware that only software engineers with a prestigious pedigrees (eg well regarded universities and/or well known names in their resume) are given a chance today.

people trying to take a path similar to mine to become a software engineer – poorly regarded state university degree and accepting shitty contract gigs at the beginning of their career in roles that are barely software related – are fucked unless they’re lucky or well connected.

i was SUPER LUCKY to get contract gigs at faang and old-silicon shops to put on my resume and i learned retroactively (and in writing) that, that was the only reason i got interviewed at all.
