I still don’t understand why interest changes if it’s a fixed interest rate. I get that a bond could be sold for a lower price than initial purchase price, but does the interest rate only apply to the most recent sale price of the bond?

I don’t understand how prices drop and interest rates rise as a consequence of nations selling bonds. Wouldn’t prices only matter to the buyers and sellers of the bonds? And why would interest rates change?

In any case, if it gets the world to trust the USA much less, as we sadly very much deserve, I’m all for that.

That’s rich coming from a bunch of fucks who would pay money to line up to waterboard their own savior.

the us government, if it’s ever run by non-fascists, could easily afford to hire developers to not only properly support it but actively maintain and improve it.

especially with how many software engineers are being constantly laid off from big tech monsters.

I don’t give a tenth of a rat’s shit. People gotta have a place to live, food to eat, and healthcare, and all of those require employment. Unless you can show me another employer in her field who isn’t committing or aiding atrocities, which I’m confident you cannot.

REI is corpo scum. They are not a co-op. This retraction is nice to hear but ultimately meaningless as long as they continue forcing corpo trash board candidates into their rigged board elections system.

Do you know the origins of that meme? Are you sure you’re okay with repeating it yourself, even if it’s just meant as a joke?

Not bad for a laptop with unreliable USB support. But that’s ok, USB is pretty niche, nobody really uses that…

(speaking from personal experience with a fw16, multiple USB A and C expansion modules, after a mainboard replacement and firmware update and testing under several different Linux distros. but also, framework’s own community forums show plenty of reports of USB problems, and even more on reddit)

No. It may involve the expectation of consequences, for the sake of planning for retaliation, but anybody who condemns atrocities should also oppose retaliation against the condemnation.

Maybe some folks commit civil disobedience with the intention of voluntarily facing the consequences, but that’s entirely up to those individuals. Even in that case, they then depend on the broader society supporting their disobedience and demanding their retaliators back down.

Absolutely fuck everything about this “well they had it coming” apologia mindset.

Someone broke into my house on Tuesday and installed Linux Mint on my previously windows ThinkPad

Now that’s my kind of mischief.

No. Absolutely fuck everything about your argument against the fired employee. We should be appalled at her termination as well as Microsoft’s atrocities.

Did you mean to say we shouldn’t be surprised that she got fired, or do you truly believe nobody should be appalled at Microsoft’s decision to fire her?

From darktable’s FAQ:

Is darktable a free Lightroom alternative?

No. Other than both being raw editors with DAM features, and looking somewhat similar, they have very little in common. Darktable is a powerful and flexible raw processing toolbox, that leaves the user in charge of their workflow and provides a level of power and control that few others can match. This also means that the initial learning curve can be steep, since very little workflow and tool knowledge can be transferred from other programs.

In my personal experience it’s pretty good, but I’ve never used lightroom nor do I have nearly any idea what I’m doing with RAW processing, or photography in general, but I’ve been happy with the few photos I’ve put through it!

Genuine question, is this trolling or do you seriously believe this?

you are Microsoft?

this comment sucks. let people type in lowercase. lemmy isn’t fucking academia.

What’s wrong with Golang? Agrees on all other points, and perhaps this one as well

Tim Cook is just as fucking evil as the rest of them.

That sounds like sunscreen

their legal action against emulators and DRM circumvention. they have the audacity of allowing people to play their games which were legally purchased on unapproved hardware.

And you’ll be sued by Nintendo into lifelong poverty if you use it wrong.

Fuck Nintendo.
