“My” in the commuter sense. “Gotta go, my train is here.”

The great thing about trains is you’re not forced to own one and go into debt for it.

How the fuck does a tech company as big as Amazon have this running in production and not a test/staging environment? This is the kind of mistake a platform run by one person makes and even then they probably won’t make it again.

Huh, something tells me that working in FAANG doesn’t actually make you a better engineer, they just have more money to not throw at R&D which somehow makes you feel superior to every other engineer 🤔

“I need to wash my train, and the train wash is 100 meters away. Should I walk or take the train.”

“Neither. It is not the passengers’ responsibility to wash a train, as all maintainance of public transit should be paid for by your taxes. Furthermore, the train wash is typically located in the maintainance yard which is not accessible to regular passengers. You wouldn’t be able to get through the front gate on foot, and would be told to leave of you tried to ride past the end of the line.”

Written not by artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity.

Doesn’t simp for the US, just coincidentally believes every claim the US makes about socialist countries. Cool.

Post your sources then. I posted mine after I “got caught in a LIE.” Since you’re obviously not LYING and are a well-read expert on Cuban labour practices unlike me, that should be an easy ask for you.

Not a source in itself but links to many sources.

Also, you know nothing about Cuba and everything you say is straight out of the US propaganda pool which they’ve been using to justify their illegal blockade of the country. Also also, if I’m just a hive mind drone and you’re apparently not, why not post your own sources to show how much better informed you are and how much better you are than me? Seems like you don’t have sources and are deflecting from your lack of sources.

That, if true (since you didn’t link any sources), sounds at worst like the kind of exploitation that Westerners like you and me rely on (from “undocumented” or even documented immigrants in your own country, resource extraction sectors in developing countries, cheap overseas manufacturing, etc) that allows us to make the illusion of a living wage from what little work we do in comparison. In reality Cuba would actually be far less exploitative than us because we do all of what you described and much, much worse to people you never see or think about. Where did that cobalt in your phone come from? What about your chocolate? Where does your e-waste go after you drop it off at a big box store before buying the newest thing? Cuba at least doesn’t prop up their own citizens at the great expense of people they deem less important.

Cuba for one. China has been working very hard towards it (to a much further extent than any Western country) but due to their massive population it’s debatable of they’ve gotten there for every single labour job yet, but they will.

Ones that don’t exploit immigration or prison as a source of cheap labour. AKA nowhere in the West.

“China has exploitative labour!”

China: “OK we’re using robots to keep labour costs low without exploiting anyone”

“Wait, not like that”

Dragostea Din Tei (“Numa Numa”) is unironically one of my favourite songs. It wouldn’t have blown up as a meme if it didn’t go so hard.

Pepas by Farruko is another bop.

Isn’t OpenAI also investing heavily into Nvidia? How the hell does that work? They’re just circulating money around?

I wouldn’t recommend dual booting anything with Windows, especially if you’re not familiar with installing multiple operating systems. Windows will pretty frequently fuck up your boot settings when it updates because it doesn’t respect not being the only OS on your system and will cause way more problems than it solves.

My recommendation if you really want to stay on Linux is to run Linux as your only OS and then run Windows from a VM for the apps you absolutely need to use. VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes are good options if you want a regular Windows VM with little to no integration with the host Linux instance. There are also software that will create an experience like Parallels on Mac with Windows apps that appear as regular windows in your Linux desktop (I’ve heard about WinBoat but don’t personally use it so can’t say if I recommend it or not). For most games, Proton should have you covered.

If you want distro recommendations, I’d say Fedora or Linux Mint are good options for general users getting into Linux. If you do a lot of gaming, I’ve heard good things about Bazzite.

The easiest way would be to boot a live USB of a distro that uses the latest kernel (like Arch or Arch-based distros, OpenSuse Tumbleweed, etc). That way it’s temporary and won’t modify your current install. If you find that the latest kernel does solve your issue you can always install the distro you were testing with.

That’s on you for choosing a Lemmy app/instance with ads.

You almost certainly hate China yet used a Chinese phone/PC to make this comment.

.ml should follow suit, add .world as well.

Watch as all the people complaining about .ml in .ml communities freak out about actually not having to hear from us tankie authoritarian Chinese Russian bots again.

Don’t worry, one look at you and they’ll know you’re not worth harvesting.

Why is Lenin wearing the Scumbag Steve hat?

What a terribly designed project if even compilation requires sudo. These “sandwich” maintainers don’t know what they’re doing.

As an immigrant who had to learn English (and a very small amount of French) and also programming languages, programming languages are much, much easier. You don’t have to deal with tenses or conjugation, you don’t have to learn pronounciation rules because most things you express in programming is not directly pronouncable, there isn’t a million weird syntax and spelling exceptions that you just have to memorize, and you don’t have this disparity between formal and casual language. Learning technical or literary writing is even more complex.

Computer science as a whole is in my opinion more like learning a language. Once you know the fundamental concepts of computation, different programming languages are more like dialects than full languages.
