@ErickaSimone That white male convicted law-and-order rapist pardoned literally thousands of convicted felons, who then went on to plot murders and continue raping. Probably in his name.

Nothing about this is normal or sane any more.

Edit: including a drug lord who repeatedly and publicly said he's flooding the US with narcotics.

@Starcross @kde I honestly wouldn't care about their gender if it wasn't for this. 😉

@beyondmachines1 CEOs want to operate in states where they can terminate an employee without any prior notice. They tell us my country is doomed because here it's at least a 30 days period. CEOs are also signing prepaid two year AI contracts. I'm having a hard time understanding anything anymore.

Don't worry, Sam, SpaceX won't ACTUALLY launch 7,000 satellites! (There are currently 10,296 Starlink sats in orbit)

Don't worry, SpaceX said they'd get their satellites fainter than magnitude 7! (They have not https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/link_gateway/2025MNRAS.544L..15M/PUB_PDF)

Don't worry, they won't actually start Kessler Syndrome! https://outerspaceinstitute.ca/crashclock/

Don't worry, they won't actually launch a million AI data centres into orbit!! https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366

@bradlinder My Steck Deck would greatly benefit from the controller too.

The track pads and back buttons are very useful, but currently only available handheld, not in the dock.

@schaffertom Besonders geil: Wenn du in einer Ausbildungsmaßnahme bist, darfst du auch nicht mehr arbeiten. Und für eine Auslandsreise musst du ein Bittgesuch stellen.

@Crell @torb And in the last few years there has been a constant "inflow" of language features related to the type system. Currently even generics "light" are being discussed again, in addition to two popular static analysis tools that understand docblocks. PHP is moving, slowly but steadily.

@torb @Crell @sushee As I wrote, I'm not trying to attack you in any way. It's just funny how many misconceptions there still are even after a decade. I don't know of any language that seems to be as misunderstood. But then again, someone recently told me monitors in Linux are almost impossible to configure because of all the config files and I genuinely couldn't remember the last time I opened an XF86Config.
