It’s from Guards! Guards! :)

“Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia. And stupidity, too. They’ve all sworn the oath, he thought, but not a man jack of ’em has even asked what a figgin is.”

GNU TPratchett.
He certainly knew what’s up!

Brilliant :D

Sadly I am waaaay too stupid for those. Couldn’t get clingo to move some animals across a river within a certain ruleset :[

Hmm, I’ve only played Stellaris from this company and that game is great. A bit pricey with all the DLC, but the alternative of releasing a new Stellaris every few years probably amounts to the same.
Also, I’d rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

Wake me up when the popover API is in. Might be next version, nice!

I don’t find that bizarre at all, it’s what he is going to do!

Took long enough for an Archer reference ITT. Thanks.

some clinical psychologists or psychiatrists (iirc) gave a pretty decent breakdown of how trump is breaking down mentally.

this one here?

I had time to think for a bit. Please be advised that I’m not an American citizen and the following is purely conjecture.
Basically, I believe the US is FUBAR. There are 4 possible scenarios for the 5th of November:

• Trump gets so demented it’s getting impossible to get him propped up, he has to concede somewhere around that time
• Trump finally gets thrown in jail, before election day
• Biden wins - right now it looks like it would be a close call
• Trump wins

The article mentions, as many have before, that the “conservative” way of “thinking” has become purely emotional. So what do you think will happen if either of the three first will come true? Someone will seize the day and shout some bullshit conspiracy or another and now 20-30% of your emotionally driven population will get set to “angry” and “revenge”.
If he simply wins: Mission accomplished!

Now that I’ve thought a bit more, even (maybe especially?) if Biden wins in a landslide, the conspiracy spin could even be made stronger. Yikes. It might be the time of troubles on a very large scale and I reaaaaaaaaaly hope I’m totally wrong with all this!

but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too

Don’t mind me, just reposting a FPTP video I just saw in another thread on lemmy.
It also heavily discourages voters from participating because they’ve never felt represented, as the two party system is ultimatively a minority rule. So why should they care for local elections held within the same system?

Edit: a word.

And today we will continue, with protests announced in over 90 cities.

Go back to vorat. Oh wait, they didn’t like you either :D

LGTM, Ship it!

Don't cut yourself with that edge!

inb4: "But YT operates at a loss and needs monies". No. Just no. They deliberately worked at a loss to stifle and kill opposition.

some explanation

To be fair, they used setTimeout() and not thread.sleep() because the latter isn't possible out of the box in JS ^^

Obviously there a people in charge now who will never understand the Streisand effect. They could have kept it quiet and just… allow… the technical adept users to do their thing. Now, they are the laughing stock and get unwanted attention. Also, from my layman understanding, this shit won't fly in the EU at all.

Or, to say it differently: This is the best thing to happen to Mozilla in quite a long time and I'm a fan.

You're right. It does have the same energy to it, doesn't it? But of course, it also feels like that kind of regression permeates nearly every layer of society now, which is really sad. We should get angry before it's too late.

Drake is a creep.
