I can feel the Thoughts and Prayers from here.

He’s not insane, he’s evil.

To be fair, he’s dead, so there’s not that much current news.

Out code runs on Linux containers, so no Windows needed. Personally, I use OpenSuSE, but the containers use Alpine.

We’re looking at scaleway. They seem pretty decent so far.

Yeah, whatever you were planning on doing, you’re doing this instead.

This isn’t bullying. This is corruption/bribery.

Have you seen how close Russia is to Japan?

Same…

I use Firefox for most things, but Google Meet maxes out all my CPUs if I use Firefox. Any kind of screen sharing kills it. Suggestions on how I can get video encoding working greatly appreciated… Intel Xe graphics.

Die Linke want capitulation. That is not something I can support.

Upon reflection, Green is probably the best choice. I’m impressed by Baerbock.

Unfortunately, Die Linke is pro Russian, as is BSW. CDU might be the least worst option… God that makes me feel disgusting.

She should have done all of that, but they would have just found a different wedge issue.

Doesn’t matter - their technique will always find the greatest wedge issue because they start by spreading insane amounts of shit and use monitoring to find which ones are gaining traction. All this is a guess, but it’s such an obvious strategy that I’d be amazed if it wasn’t how they’re working.

I’m from the U.K., so I was lucky enough to experience what I believe was a PoC of this technique during our referendum for PR voting. That time, there were two wedge issues: baby incubators and - I hope I’m getting this right because my memory is hazy - bullet-proof vests for soldiers. Neither of those things were remotely related to the question… but as soon as they started to gain traction, they were pushed hard. Brexit was more money for the NHS. With Jeremy Corbin, it was support for Palestine. With Kamela, it was lack of support of Palestine. None of it needs to make sense, so long as it works as a wedge.

I still believe this was a targeted campaign to get dems to sit out. Their strategy is to spread as much shit as possible, and as soon as they see something that sticks, push it hard. It’s sad, but this strategy is extremely effective against the left because we’re all too eager to find a reason not to support the dems.

The only defence is to be aware of this strategy. Rather than shit on people, try to explain how they’ve been duped so next time they have a chance of noticing.

Why would such a feature need facial recognition? Just use the ID on the travel pass and done - cheaper, faster, and harder to fake if done properly.
