Whats even the point theirs plenty of engineers in the country with source code access? Maybe the Chinese ones don’t hire in India so its aimed towards them.

I want a government thats requires mandatory AGPL for most classes of software.

Oh and alot of government contracts for private silicon valley companies

I like to hope this will end up doing something good but I doubt it. Most likely projects will just involve state surveillance

Feel like they have been talking about this forever, maybe Trump will finally be the push they need.

Does anyone start greenfield projects with normal mysql anymore? I know Meta internally whole infra relies on some mySQL + object store design pattern but I assume its so heavily modified from upstream atp. My company migrated everything we could to postgres awhile ago

Don’t worry, to cover the risk the YUGEOIL act will be passed granting 0% interest subsidies to all oil companies that expand into Venezuela

Exxon will also after getting the subsidies buy a nice portion of DJT and trump coin at the same time, not sure why, CEO must just like the stock

bro did not text the signal group chat about his Venezuela plans before doing it damn

Its crazy you can fail so badly at cloning a competitors product yet still be so successful

Europe is kind of just a retired United States, the pension scheme is the us defense budget

I forgot about the 90s but yeah good point. I never heard of “shock therapy” before but seems interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_therapy_(economics) , seems like its a Retronym for describing IMF inspired market reforms. Good way to keep a country down :D

Weirdly if its actually just drug cartel assets (I doubt) this seems like smart way to increase Latino support? Most don’t have much good to say about the cartels (many leaving due to them). There own country seems to be bought out by them so Trump being this almost knight in shining armor seems like an interesting idea? Its actual effectiveness does not matter, perceptions rule all.

I think the upper middleclass-rich Democrats who lead the think tanks really haven’t internalized how conservative (I think this past decade they have slowly realized) alot of immigrant groups are, my family is full of people who honestly are more aligned conservative but the idea of republicans being a “white” party is what stops them. Trump essentially has to square the circle of a party of conservative immigrants, billionaires, libertarians, and neo-nazis

Power couple of the century

I mean they don’t call it the Century of humiliation for nothing lol. Yeah Russia doesn’t make sense though.

I never got the hype from Open source supporters about RISC-V. Its a permissive license so any consumer use will end up with companies EEE into there own product line (Could you then patent that architecture?). Weirdly I feel like the ARM model where a central company licenses the chipset out to many companies is kind of better as atleast you get competition between chip designers. Main benefit here is companies who don’t have to pay licenses for the architecture

I feel like its a similar decision to why companies adopted linux over enterprise unix’s. Its kind of interesting how decentralized/open solutions are mostly used by companies versus the public.

hopefully more leftists/progressives will wake up about how trusting these companies with “censorship” and having closed source proprietary tech/platforms so entangled in our lives is a bad thing. Most in my experience just complain about how we need to tax them without really thinking about how we can disentangle them from our lives. The past 20 years have been this weird bubble where the largest creators of capital (silicon valley) were not explicitly sided with the auth right wing. People have gotten too use to this especially with personal data and just expecting the state to save them.

I like to think this will cause open source solutions and federated ecosystems to become more popular. Maybe i’m a doomer but we will just get more tiktoks about trump is bad and “late stage capitalism”. People I think just will never sacrifice convenience in life, its why authoritarianism seems to always win.
