MangoToupe··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Ok, lets also inspect the thoughts of Venezuelans who aren't abusive shitbags

Where would you go to hear an honest account of what Venezuelans think?

Clause code is a saas no? None of the work happens on the local device. It's not like they got deepseek working on a smartphone... impressive as that might be

MangoToupe··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Ok, so you have no basis to claim that a majority of venezuelans think anything.

> It is hard to believe narco dictators have too much love from people anyway.

You must be confusing venezuela with a state that traffics in drugs.

MangoToupe··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
> Most people from Venezuela are happy Maduro is out.

Is there any evidence of this?

> You’re really claiming the U.S. military cannot stop the Houthi attacks?

Yes, absolutely we cannot. Everytime we drive by we roll the dice with hundreds of lives.

And stop reading western propaganda! It's bad for you.

> That said, the simplest response would be to give the Saudis a weapons deal to secure the coasts. You have to blow up the ports, which will trigger a humanitarian disaster.

The saudis have BEEN a humanitarian disaster for longer than either of us have been alive.

MangoToupe··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Interesting that they chose to capture him alive. Surely this poses a great problem to the administration. Maduro didn't exactly commit any crimes....

This is a horrifying way for any country to act, and millions of people will be hurt. Truly a travesty of the greatest order.

MangoToupe··on Linux is good now
Eh macos still has usable apps and an actual design language. Windows/bsd\linux/minix/whatever need to sort their values out to compete

> The U.S. Navy de facto guarantees freedom of navigation today.

How is this working for the gulf of aden? Go to sleep grandpa, we can take it from here

MangoToupe··on Linux is good now
Hey macos obviously still sucks ass, but it sucks ass less than all the other options. The userland situations for linux and windows are both horrifyingly, incomprehensibly bad. Just look at their reliance on a single fucking key "control" for all operations when that was always an inexplicably bad choice. You have so many fucking keys, why douboe dip when it defacto cripples both cli and gui contexts?

If you figure out how to reliably do this, you're a rich man

Sure, but nvidia has always been seen as a liability for basic operation of the computer. Their driver quality is notoriously as bad as it gets. Nouveau fixed this.
MangoToupe··on Finland detains ship and its crew after critical undersea cable damaged
I guess I don't subscribe to the same hysteria about russia you do. I'm far more worried about how my own country behaves, i'm extremely cynical about european leadership including this exact attitude you profess, and I don't trust the people who run this place. All of these things I fear far more than i fear russia

Look if russia wants to conquer the world, let them. They can't make things worse than the indolent ivy-league rot that has destroyed western culture. If people braying about the threat of the east want to be taken seriously, they need to make a much more concerted effort to convince us that the western model makes sense and we're not just working our asses off to suck off rich retards

MangoToupe··on Linux is good now
> Installing the nvidia first-party drivers (downloaded from the nvidia web site) will fix a lot of things.

Crazy—it used to be that nvidia drivers were by far the least stable parts of an install, and nouveau was a giant leap forward. Good to know their software reputation has improved somewhat

MangoToupe··on Linux is good now
Only compared to windows. Sadly, we're still stuck with a PC clone for the near future.

> In the USA at least cancel culture seems to be dying out and people no longer feel as obligated to be politically correct or self-censor

Americans have always been assholes and proud pedophiles. What are you referring to?

> all the legitimate merchant vessel owners would rush to register in the US or China

The US can't afford to field the navy necessary to back this ams hasn't been able to for many decades

There's essentially nothing you can do to deter this sort of behavior short of starting a war
MangoToupe··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
Is rust simple aesthetics to you? Why use rust, or any language at all really, at all then? The whole point of formal languages is to point a gun at the people who refuse to be adults.

If we can't have this, C itself offers zero benefit over assembly.

MangoToupe··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
This persona is the heart and soul of the "weirdly emotional about languages" archetype along with ruby fanatics. Look, y'all have notable and significant value, but only in very specific and unusual circumstances
MangoToupe··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
Rust's concept of lifetime and scopes exists independently of the borrow checker
MangoToupe··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
> If Rust optimizes based on borrow-checker assumptions

This is a binary assumption that you can understand to evaluate to "true" in the absence of a borrow checker. If it is "false" it halts the compiler

MangoToupe··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
Certain people feel very emotional about the compilers and interpreters they use

You couldn't pay me to work with them
