It might sound like that, but the US keeps proving over and over again that its justice system is impotent against those with money, and downright cruel to those without.

Man, if only we could buy printers online!

My car lets you turn off lane assist, it’s the collision avoidance that I can’t turn off that is trying to kill me. Randomly I’ll be driving along when an alarm sounds and it tries to swerve off the road. It’s fucking infuriating and dangerous and despite many of us complaining to the manufacturer you can’t turn it off.

Nonsense. It’s simply that that kind of conduct is deeply unprofessional and reflects poorly on Linus. He could have said the exact same things about the issues with that patch without the obscenities and personal attacks.

I’ve worked as a software team lead for nearly 30 years, you do not get the best out of people by belittling and berating them.

Did you miss their username?

Nuttier than a squirrel turd man.

Why was it a mistake? I’ve used Google workspaces for business email for about 5 years and find it to be a really good and inexpensive service.

Exactly, “open source” was a dilution of free software in the first place. Kids today.

just a sad reality of our crappy two party system.

As an outsider, it looks like the US only has a one party system now. One party and a group of spiteful, contrarian fascists trying to overthrow its democracy.

All gag orders are not equal. Given this one was due to what amounts to a threat against his staff, I find it unlikely most judges in other circumstances would have let this happen with such flagrant disregard for the order without jail time.

This is the bit I don’t get, Trump doxxing court staff and encouraging his followers to harass them is surely way beyond contempt of court. Is that not an entirely new crime by itself?

We should be happy that we might still have a few more years left before AI renders us all obsolete.

Wow, this is some spectacular hyperbole!

I love those meatballs they do in Belgian and Dutch frite shops that come in segments like a Terry’s chocolate orange.

This is “who invented the sandwich” all over again when what we really mean is “who named the sandwich”. We credit the Earl of Sandwich for the invention, but sandwiches have existed for as long as bread has. I mean there are only so many things you can do with bread and slicing it and putting other food in between is beyond obvious.

Now I’m hungry.

This happened in the UK with our right wingers too. David Cameron said that his favourite band was The Smiths. Johnny Marr publicly stated that David Cameron did not like The Smiths, because he forbade it. He would however allow it, if David Cameron left office immediately.

Now I think about it, didn’t the Village People have beef with Trump over his use of YMCA at campaign rallies as well?

Michael Steele is just about as much of an expert about this stuff as Danielle Steele.

👏 😂

Not just that, all these trade deals we cut with other countries means visas for their citizens. Net immigration to the UK has tripled since Brexit from countries like India. I’m sure the racists and xenophobes are really happy with what they voted for.

Try to remember that almost half of us did not vote to leave in the first place and knew it was a mistake. The Brexit vote was won on the tiniest of margins mainly due to a criminal misinformation campaign.

There was no mandate in that vote for the UK leaving the single market - something that those liars campaigning for Brexit said that we would never do. I firmly believe that all of the Brexit campaigners should be rotting in prison for the incalculable damage they did to our nation. Many people were tricked into voting against their best interests because they were told that leaving the EU would mean more money for the NHS, or it would protect their daughters from all the Turkish rapists joining the EU next week, or all the other total fucking nonsense the criminal liars told them through Facebook.

this and the parent comment have blown my mind.

if it’s the East Coast Elite running the supreme court, then how come they’re doing regressive dumb shit like overturning Roe vs Wade and putting a stop to student loan forgiveness? How did either of these things help with the “harsh realities of working class Americans in Midwestern and Western America” ?
