Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.

Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.

The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.

We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.

We do migrations for schema on app startup (built into the app).

Any general data changes are done outside the pipeline as a pre or post deployment step.

Migrations on startup aren’t perfect, you have to be careful that it doesn’t take too long on startup.

Honestly the pros outweighs the cons. You can fire up a new site/db without much effort which is something we do often.

But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!

They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.

I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.

I noticed that too. It’s not even a good logo to steal, it’s always felt old.

LOOOOOOL. Did he just snag the dated and always terrible logo from Xorg and think it was cool and modern?

The default homepage on Edge alone is enough to make me never use Edge willingly.

I don’t know what that Bing/MSN abomination is but it’s reprehensible. It’s the most clickbait tabloid garbage I’ve ever seen. The fact that a company that makes hand over fist on enterprise is willing to sully their new browser with that fucking page makes me lose so much faith in humanity.

I know it’s an easily changed setting but there’s millions and millions of people that won’t change it at home or at work being exposed to that garbage.

Lol. Just for shits and giggles I want to entertain this for a second.

You’d probably want to pay hackers in a country that isn’t friendly with the US to do this. Russia, North Korea, China, Iran.

Three of those countries are heavily sanctioned right now. I wouldn’t want sketchy money flowing to Russia at the moment even if it didn’t technically fall under sanctions since money flow is being scrutinized. Same with NK and Iran.

So that would leave China. I think you could get away with it there pretty easily.

And lo and behold….

:tinfoilhat:

With that said though. Getting that info leaked out would be extremely damaging and totally not worth the risk.

I thought Teams was more of a curse than a competitor.

Kidding aside. It’d be nice if we stopped these massive corporations from hoovering up other businesses BEFORE antitrust complaints are needed. But that’ll never happen.

It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.

I purposely bought the base dash on my Focus ST. Screen is smaller than a phone like 4 inches at most, has no apps. It Bluetooth syncs my phone for music and calls. There’s no touchscreen, all interactions are dedicated knobs and buttons.

For GPS I just use my phone and audio directions, my smart watch has the upcoming direction as well. If I really don’t know where I’m going I have a dash mount for my phone if I need it. But that’s not often.

It’s great honestly and the dash doesn’t blind me driving at night.

I was also looking at a Mazda before I got this car and their dash is absolutely horrendous. It’s like they just took a Alibaba knock off iPad and welded it on top of the dash. It’s literally in your view of the road causing a small blind spot.

Aaaah I understand.

What do you mean by the cost? Because you didn’t want to wipe out your Windows OS? I’ve been running distros on my personal PC for 23 years now. Can’t say I’ve ever spent money on it except for some cheap CDs. I think I even got distro cds for cheap that came with linux magazines.

Agreed. You can’t compare any Lemmy apps to Apollo or RiF etc. They had years of feedback and development.

Where Mlem and Liftoff are at already is extremely impressive from both teams.

So nuking a hurricane isn’t very realistic but what about bombing/nuking a tornado?

You and me both. The worst is I have to use Teams for work and Ctrl+Shift+C is the shortcut to call the person you’re chatting with.

Agreed. It’s a huge mess.

Lol. To be fair though Reuters business isn’t views it’s selling articles to other press.

Easy. Pay yourself 1 million dollars to wash a dish.

How are people used to looking at code now more than then?

Let’s release a bunch of people we imprisoned and then send them to……. a mercenary group? I’m sure they’ll be veeeery loyal.

If they’re able to pick up Russian soldiers as they go things could steam roll quickly. Otherwise it will at least be a massive distraction for Russia while Ukraine recovers territory.
