“Piracy” only as a form of conservancy, I suppose?

Because long term policies require short term patches, so problems don’t get out of hand too early.

Policing crime and implementing mechanisms so people don’t need to resort to it in the long term, are complementary, but without the former, chances of the latter to work are slim.

From your point of view, it’s fine to let nazis win now as long as we set out to fix the root cause later, which is naive at several levels, most importantly because if they find their way to office, they will fight any policy that could make them irrelevant. Even more, since they are purely reactionary parties with no real policies, they are incentivized to manufacture more enemies and false issues. And if you don’t believe me, look at pretty much any reactionary cabinet in the world from the past 20 years, from the US to Russia to Hungary.

I see. Since we’re involving the government here, how about they take these children from their parents, then? After all, what you describe is a spectacular parenting failure: they give their kids the tools to access porn sites and leave them unchecked.

That’s… not at all equivalent.

My assumption is that Trump did very well politically in not trying to defend himself publicly from the accusation, but to stir the focus on him being persecuted because he wants to fight corruption in the governemnt.

You are conflating two different things.

The “drain the swamp” rhetoric was on his first campaign. The second was promoted as the “revenge tour”. He didn’t hide he would use presidential powers for personal gain. He openly said that he would be pardoning his allies and sympathizers, regardless of the crimes they may have committed (see the Silk Road guy, who was in prison for attempted murder among other things).

Nothing? You have as a president a felon suspected of pedophily that has no shame in insulting allies and enemies, who insults journalists and heads of state publicly without consequences and has sent gestapo in the streets.

Read it again. Nothing has changed in between both Trump presidencies.

But truth is, in many cases, Trump only surfaced many of the ongoing issues in the US.

Half of the merit of trump’s victory is no doubt because of the dems and their inhability to talk to people and to relate to them

Nobody argued otherwise.

But they didn’t lose because of that. Over half of it was because people was ready to punish the administration because of the economy and their failure to act on sensitive issues, which in part wasn’t even their fault: the US government has been notorious for being on a permanent gridlock for the past couple of decades or so.

If this is not understood, get ready for many more trumps in the future

This has happened hundreds of times thorough history. Of course it will happen again. Framing it as something extraordinarily new, triggered by a master tactician who somehow redirected their opponents’ blows for his advantage, is disingenuous at best.

That’s like saying that since crime is mostly a symptom of a systemic issue, we shouldn’t prosecute it.

I’m not sure what you mean by all this. Your assumption is that the perception of Trump by MAGA is entirely based on a distorted view made up by Democrats, and that’s not true. He won a second term because Democrats were unpopular and the exiting president (Biden) left average folks with a piss poor economy, regardless of how high the stock market was at the time. Trump, a populist, just capitalized on that, and the fact that most people have short term memory and forgot how bad the US economy was in Trump’s last year in office.

There’s no “understanding of the new times”. There’s no grand plan. Nothing changed in between Trump presidencies. I would even say that nothing has changed in the past twenty years or so: most voters will take the bait of a populist if they feel like they need to punish the outgoing administration.

Trump is a bug inherent to democracy. Strongmen tend to do well when people are upset but cannot verbalize it or are unable to find the root cause. Saying that Trump’s victory is partly a consequence of how Democrats pictured him is also extremely naive, since the mf has again and again leaned on what he has been accused of.

Great. Make yourself even less likable to the working class, by serving your billionaire masters. No wonder fucking AfD is winning by doing nothing these days.

Reporting on his crimes and policies is not demonising him.

What would you suggest we should do, if one day, flat earthers find themselves in positions of power and start demanding their bullshit to be taught in schools?

You meant “the number of new projects that will soon be abandoned”.

Wholeheartedly agree with OP.

When people think of telemetry, they think of Microsoft, or Google, or Apple. But pretty much every single player in software out there uses telemetry one way or another, and they don’t use it for ad tracking because there are already better and more specialised tools for that.

Bug reports coming from non technical people are worthless. Sometimes, they might trigger some further investigation, and that’s it, because they don’t have enough detail to be useful. Telemetry is the only realistic way of debugging these issues.

How do you know?

I cannot think of a single bug report coming from a non technical person that would be useful to debug an issue. The most they do is get you to know about a potential problem in the system, which most of the time boils down to user error. Telemetry is pretty much the only way to find the root cause, other than a lab reproducing the customer’s environment 1:1, which is both unrealistic and would still require telemetry to be remotely possible.

A bit naive to expect any politician to match one’s own ideology 100% of the time.

When they do, they tend to be populists like Trump: spineless who would promise whatever their followers demand from them. I would be wary of any politician who had never made a blunder.

Anyway, since you wouldn’t compromise, I guess you don’t vote?

makes one mistake

“I don’t want to hear anything he has to say anymore”

Peak Lemmy mentality.

The draw is fixed. There have been multiple instances of this, most notably France 98, where, as Platini declared years after, they deliberately put France in group C and Brazil in group A, so they wouldn’t meet until the finals.

Obvious troll is obvious.

From where?

I know people who moved from America and Asia and they had to prove that they had at least 15,000 euro in the bank as students. I also know that for the non lucrative visa that could be twice as much. These requirements are dropped if employed by a Spanish company, but honestly that’s quite rare.

Right, I’m just saying it’s not as easy as you think it is.

This MBA mf has been the CEO during the worst security disasters in Palo Alto history, and now he thinks AI is the future of the company?
