    People in this thread are hell bent on the excuse that prisoners have it easy as they dont pay for housing or food while majority of people here easily manage to pay for the basics and easily have enough time to workout and read. Its such lazy cope. Stop pretending like you have it harder than a prisoner its cringe.

    And before some sap comes in and tells me they work 16hrs in the mines and are starving and disabled with no healthcare and no home. Ok you are the exception but most people here have a job, buy food and have free time. Enough to do some bodyweight exercises and read a book.

    I was hanging out and my friend was swiping tinder swiping mostly left and annihilating and roasting guys that to me seemed in good shape, well dressed and either conventionally attractive or weird looking but in an interesting way. It actually killed me inside and put me off using dating apps.


  • We(average people) dont choose to offshore those companies. We only wanted to stop climate change.

    Everything went offshore because the world’s countries added regulations and policy to try reduce emissions and manufacturing became cheaper in china because they did the opposite and raced to the bottom. China was in climate talks at the same time and was more than developed enough to have been making similar changes. Instead they went in the opposite direction. Intentionally deflating currency, scaling coal,mass deforestation, lying about emissions and policy direction.

    Why would i ignore all that and blame individual international companies that are just trying to make and sell product? Thats nitpicking tiny parts of a large problem.

    If its ok for china to do what they did then why is nz implementing climate policy? What’s the point we hurt ourselves for a 1% reduction only to have china increase emissions by more than out total emissions in a single year. If thry do make changes no one should and they didn’t. We are fucked unless china can actually make a serious reduction in emissions which thry seem completely unlikely to do in the next 5 years.


  • A company moving their steel plant offshore is a negative for that country. So the country isnt going to want to drive it out just to brag about a co2 reduction. The company might brag but so what. If the company wants to claim 90% reduced emissions by getting rid of their steel mill to a subsidiary company thats a different more.pointless argument imo.

    China gets a huge advantage from having the steel plant in their country and the wildest part to me is that people will even defend them when someone points out that they are already polluting a ton and should take measures to reduce pollution instead of subsiding coal plants and more steel mills.

    Those same people will turn around and say nz needs to axe its own industry to reduce emissions even though our emissions are tiny and not spiraling out of control. Its the most cucked stance and causes me psychic damage.



  • Actually western countries are completely blameless here. Why would western countries be blamed for Chinese emissions? Western companies could be blamed sure but when it comes to climate we expect this to be handled at a policy level. When we look at this issue we see that Western countries did make policy changes that hurt their manufacturing and growth in pursuit of better climate change outcomes but china didnt. So when it comes to blame no one forced China to undercut manufacturing by artificially deflating their currency, lying about climate change goals and having no environmental regulations. China could have implemented environmental regulations and labour laws on par with the west. They could have started transitioning to renewables a decade and a half earlier. They choose not to and they choose to scale coal knowing the damage they are doing to the world.

    Hell they still lie about their climate change impacts and sponsor green washing propaganda media overstating their progress. Their emissions graph looks like the stock market and when it drops .8% “people” act like its about to come crashing down.

    There is no way we would talk about this the same if Europe got rid of their min wage,labour laws, environmental laws, and invested in non clean energy and manufacturing.










  • Its a small team and those are mistakes. We can find hundreds of examples of major companies with IT teams in the 100s making those same mistakes. The solution was figured out by the team and fixed. The original version of that GH page that most people remember was much longer but its been significantly reduced as most of the claims were disputed and the author had to reel back their claims or remove them outright. Now whats left is just a few pedantic complaints.

    With arch they make those mistakes less but they shift a lot more configuration onto the user and when those mistakes get made they dont need to take any blame because it was the user who made the mistake. Arch has pushed updates that have broken bootloaders how many times? I’d consider that to be catastrophic failure on any distro except arch where i think its fine as the user should be able to fix their bootloader pretty easily.
