I watched this episode purely because of this post. One of the better Black Mirror episodes.

Well, shit.

So much for the Cold War.

The European people really shouldn’t want to use their own military anyway. Much better to just continue being America’s bitch (as America, and everyone else, slides into fascism.)

I don’t see any danger here at all.

I like how we said the same thing, but I got downvoted for it because I didn’t bury the lede.

I don’t think I can get away from Windows, as a professional .NET developer

Because you have to use VS Code instead of VS? You can always deploy to a Windows VM if you need to be sure IIS works. Though everything will just run on dotnet and nginx through a reverse proxy if you want to stay within Linux.

They’re not trying to. They’re mostly trying to replace the need for wages and salaries.

The fact that they’re doing it with effectively “we have wage slaves at home” leads to your point.

AI can be a great tool. As an assistant. As a fancy search engine. And sometimes to do the most menial parts of jobs. But it doesn’t directly replace people. Even in the case of taking fast food orders, first that’s not a whole job, and second, it still needs supervision. It’s a tool.

Then they should leave Ukraine.

Is it the ones blowing the dog whistle or the ones hearing it that are too dumb to make it subtle?

Remember when people used to have 7-12 kids in the hopes that some would survive?

These people want to go back to that.

Okay then, tackle climate change.

You get four seasons? Why am I only getting two?

(DC actually has 4 seasons.)

If you do multiple, give it time between each.

Which is just as risky as instantly updating unless you’re really closely keeping an eye on which updates are security related.

Thank you!

She was a true believer, and she’s slowly finding out she was an idiot.

Better than people like Jim Jordan who know it’s so bullshit while they’re saying it.

Who endorsed Cuomo?

I don’t think many established Democrats are terrified. If anything, they’re hopefully learning lessons. Get your damn fingers out of the wind trying to test which narrative will appeal to the most people, and instead do what makes sense and show an actual vision for what your district/city/state/country can look like.

economic reality bounces back hard

Free bus fare isn’t going to “bounce back hard”. His policies are only extreme when you compare them to literal Nazis.

Cuomo would have sworn allegiance to a king if it let him keep his place. That’s not the kind of leadership we need to bounce back to.

I want Omnissa (VMWare) Horizon Client to support Wayland. Until then, while I have to boot into Windows for one thing, I might as well boot into Windows for everything.

Maybe next year will be the year of the Linux Desktop.
