mikrotikker··on Europe's summer drought is so extreme that desertification is a growing threat
Silly puny human. It's too late. The planet will grow back and flourish when you are all dead and gone.

Yea but I bet if you still had beavers in Europe you'd still have water.

The problem is everyone killed the single greatest raiser of ground water levels for its fur. The humble and hardworking beaver.
mikrotikker··on I'm becoming AI-blind
Why read more word when less word do trick?
mikrotikker··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
Bear in mind the Chinese AIs are subsidized by the party so theyre not exactly reflective of the real cost.
mikrotikker··on US conducted mass spying campaign against leftwing and anti-ICE protesters
Seems like the government has a clear mandate from the voters to take such action against those who wold try to prevent the mandated actions from being carried out.

This is the government trying to stop democracy from being subverted by sore losers. It was clearly stated in the GOP platform, the time to protest this was at the ballot box not with violent action and subversion against LEO's. Right?

mikrotikker··on How to corrupt an SQLite database file
I had so much trouble doing this took ages to find a way to do it and it wasn't even foolproof (for engineering self repair procedures). Still can't understand how it's happening in prod.
mikrotikker··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
The fact that this post is downvoted shows how bad the problem of Chinese bots on this site has gotten.
mikrotikker··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
Not when it comes to issues of national security
mikrotikker··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
It's good to be on top.
mikrotikker··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
Nice pivot.
mikrotikker··on Feds Killed Polestar and Spared Volvo
Great. But the solution is not to let china just do it while we work on the solution. Block them, and work on blocking local suppliers.

Don't double the problem before you try to fix it.

mikrotikker··on Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]
You could look at it equally as the USA saving those citizens because if the authoritarian discover they are using LE they could suffer imprisonment
mikrotikker··on Where is the AI jobs crisis?
I thought 80% of those layoffs were bougie HR jobs
mikrotikker··on A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Data Center
If the things stop happening then the non profit will have to shut down destroying jobs
mikrotikker··on A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Data Center
As a new zealander walking to a grocery store sounds weird. I've lived in 7 houses some rural some urban and in none of them could I walk to a grocery store, so it's very weird to hear it exalted as some "standard" that America always fails in.
mikrotikker··on GrapheneOS user reported to authorities for using GrapheneOS
I didn't say I agreed with the argument, but it does seem to be interpretable like the Bible.
mikrotikker··on GrapheneOS user reported to authorities for using GrapheneOS
I mean, the argument is that ICE detainees are not citizens and thus don't get the protection, similar to foreigners engaging with CBP at the border
mikrotikker··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
Are we still not allowed to call out shills here? Is that still a rule?
mikrotikker··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
Last thing we need is an apocalyptic death cult having access to nukes.
mikrotikker··on Ukrainian drone holds position for 6 weeks
I don't understand how it doesn't just get hit by a drone? Is it because the Russian drone pilots all operate from out of theatre and the loss of starlink disabled this?
mikrotikker··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
You're giving up the rest of your country to a geopolitical rival from a separate region, in a separate hemisphere with smiling expansionist goals, even allowing armed Chinese security to protect Chinese installations in country. So why not give the rest of your country to China.

It will help them get a good flank on the USA such that even when that temporarily embarrassed country gets a leader you, and the rest of the world do like, it will be too late to do anything.

A perfect definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face laid bare for all to see.

mikrotikker··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
I think that you do not need to feel uneasy at all. It is your computer and your memory space that the data is stored and operating in you can do whatever you like to the bits in that space. I would encourage you to continue that experiment.
mikrotikker··on China is mass-producing hypersonic missiles for $99,000
Will this be like the time that Saudi Arabia bought a Chinese laser defense system to stop drone attacks on its oil infra only for it to be incredible ineffective?
mikrotikker··on Western carmakers' retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance
No one wants or should want to allow multi tonne remote controllable surveillance machines that carry an incendiary payload as fuel to operate on their roads, let alone near important civilian or internal military infrastructure.

All they have to do is hide some remotely activated punches inside the black box battery that can start off the chain reaction. Drive into a military base at full speed, activate the punch, and cause mass confusion, chaos and destruction.

And then do that many times all at once, with helpless drivers stuck inside right before you invade an island nation you claim ownership of.

mikrotikker··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
They were already setting up shop in VZ when the USA took Maduro and told VZ to behave.

IRGC are bullies and now the USA has shown us that the IRGC is perfectly happy to bully the whole world. Time for them to go.

What did Turkey do?

I thought Iranians were white? I've met many Iranians that were white.
