I’m not pretending.

I’m pointing out the flaw it the whining.

There’s a lot of should and shouldn’t statements that are just wish fulfillment and not reality.

Now that you’re done bitching about the housing crisis…what’s your actual proposed solution?

Should we take the home from the guy renting you that apartment so you can have it? Force lower rents, leaving him unmotivated to bother renting it?

What’s your point beyond rents are too high? We all know there’s a problem, how do you propose we fix it, because landlords aren’t the root of the issue but this whole thread seems to want to pretend they are.

Ok, then don’t.

Go find another place to live.

I’m well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.

But you still don’t seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.

Frankly the support options don’t seem very good either.

Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.

The staffing, the network and storage changes.

The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.

Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.

And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.

The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.

This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.

Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.

The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.

Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.

Pretty short sighted take.

When we ceed the entire auto market to Chinese manufacturing, do you think our economy will thrive?

Do you believe they won’t use this power to influence our actions on the global stage?

Wait your 2 years and calm down.

You’ve not seen a wide variety of “shops” then, clearly.

Constructive dismissal

All Apple products are designed for people who don’t use technology.

They hide the useful bits so people don’t hurt themselves.

It’s the Duplo of computing.

Toyota is a bad bet when it comes to EVs.

They clearly have no interest in selling them.

It’s almost like, in such a huge country, there exist people with different tastes.

I, an American, went to India once. The hotel restaurant had a breakfast buffet. On one side was a glorious Indian spread. The other was some nauseating English breakfast spread, with like baked beans (that’s for summer BBQs not breakfast!).

Anyway me and my buddy head straight to the good side, when the hotel staff woman came running over to warn us that it was too spicy. She gently walked us to the gross English food. We confirmed with her, numerous times, that the Indian food was very spicy. We then dug in on the eatible food (the Indian side) and made a friend with the hotel staff lady.

It was somewhat spicy, but amazing.

Some Americans think black pepper is too spicy, some eat ghost peppers as a light snack, I am in between.

Red hat, 25 years ago learned to recompile the kernel to make my sound card/modem work.

Wouldn’t that be a cyborg not an android?

Or is the head just decorative? All salted and shriveled like a slim Jim?

I mean, this sorta bolsters the idea that livable space is rare and valuable.

Of all of the universe Earth is the only place capable of supporting human life. Furthermore no human has ever managed to leave the earth/moon system, because of the extreme effort and risk required to do so.

So… How does this make rent seem silly?

Because it’s shit.

If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.

Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.

Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.

I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.

This is how I, a Michigander, feel about anyone west of the Mississippi claiming the monocer.

That river WAS the beginning of the west, how that could be Midwest is beyond me …

I would say isreal has a right to defend itself, but not if they keep stealing land and oppressing the people who attack them.

If you want to defend yourself, first, you have to stop attacking the people who you claim to be defending against.

Hamnas is human garbage, but one can not separate the creation of Israel from the ghettoizing of the Palestinian people.

Nobody deserves terrorist attacks, but this didn’t come out of the blue.

Isreal needs to own up to it’s complicity in the violence before they try to claim to be the sole victims of it.

Look, the reality is that disease did kill the majority of natives.

The genocide after that is not made any less horrible by that reality, but it was made POSSIBLE because of it.

If European settlers had to deal with the full original population, things would have been VERY different.

It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.

It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.

What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.

It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.

So. Just like millennials then?

Or are you forgetting about the idiotic waste of political capital that was occupy Wall Street?
