Bringing a good argument to a gunfight is unfortunately not a winning strategy. When the fascists have no qualms shooting you simply for being yourself, no amount of peaceful organizing is going to stop them. Peaceful protests and organizing only work because they have the implicit threat of violence if the demands are not met.

I assumed it referred to a lake of fondue

I think you’re expecting this PEP to be something that it is not. It is not supposed to be a full solution to dependency hell (which I’m not really sure that there is). It is supposed to just allow a static method to declare dependencies, notably supporting both Python package and non-Python-package dependencies. There are plenty of use cases for when you might want incompatible sets of dependencies, for a simple example consider a graphics library with both a Vulkan and OpenGL backend. You could reasonably argue that you should allow both to coexist and just select the best one at runtime, but when you’re dealing with native libraries that’s not always possible, and there is no way to make a guarantee about compatibility without excluding all non-pure Python dependencies.

That’s not the speech I was referring to, the speech I am referring to is the speech of regular people whose voices are censored on American social media. TikTok, being non-American, offers a platform for those who are at odds with the American oligarchy.

Yeah I wasn’t confused by the diesel generator, but typically electric motors are smaller and simple enough that they’re not considered an engine.

Wait why would you need two engines? Or are you counting the diesel generator as one and the electric motor as one?

Celebrating the US government implementing protectionist policies to benefit American oligarchs and limit free speech? Seems like a dumb holiday

I don’t think iPhones are a relevant metric in OLED adoption, they’ve been using them since 2017.

Consumer side perhaps there is little desired innovation from MS, but most of their sales are enterprise and cloud, the last of which is a rapidly evolving market where talent can be put to good use.

In what way has Microsoft enshittified GitHub? Since the acquisition they’ve mostly made more services free for open source users, and prices and features haven’t gotten more restrictive.

VSCode runs on the web and has IDE-grade search functionality

Not running people over, running poors over

Or even non-democratic countries. Brutal dictatorships usually get a larger international response, even from other dictatorships.

Ah yes of course, everyone else is dense. My bad I didn’t realize I was speaking with a higher being.

Trademarks are probably easier to filter out matches than copyrighted works, due to the relatively few number of them and restrictiveness of trademark protections.

Israel is trying its best to make sure the new Syrian government continues war with them even after they’ve expressed no interest in doing so.

You obviously care very strongly about this, but you should actually look up what the EU’s recent actions are before writing a short novel on Lemmy. In 2024 the EU implemented new rules that allow defendants of potential SLAPP suits to request early dismissal, requiring the plaintiff to prove plausibility of their claims prior to court proceedings, financial, legal, and emotional aid to defendants, requiring of the plaintiff to pay for the proceedings, and rules restricting plaintiffs from selecting jurisdictions more sympathetic to their cause, including those outside the EU. Obviously no solution is perfect, but at the same time the EU is taking reasonable measures to prevent the outcomes you are baselessly fear mongering about. Stop assuming the rest of the world’s governments are as evil and useless as in the US before making unfounded accusations, and actually look up the facts before you make yourself look foolish.

SLAPPs are a problem in the EU, but not to the same degree as in the US. Unlike the US, there are bloc-wide rules protecting against them that saw the number of cases decrease this year. You’d have a stronger argument if you based this on the EU instead of just assuming that it’s a carbon copy of the US.

The cables Apple includes now are very flexible braided cables and they are excellent for their purpose. Haven’t had one fail yet, or even show major signs on use. Would like to find any other company making a comparable product, but all the “ultra flexible” cables I’ve found seem to not be as flexible.

Shitty that they would withhold passengers belongings unless it was damaged or would otherwise be necessary for the investigation
