The sad thing is that the bar is so low. If it was a once in a century charismatic leader you could say “I get how people fell for this!”. But the fact it’s Trump and Musk just exposes how utterly flawed human society is, and how easy it is to slide backwards. Humanity has no excuse for this one.

That would require us, the users, to donate more.

Up to 49%.

Maybe if handling goddamn yellow cake uranium you should put your damn gloves on…

No not all people from Israel are “valid military targets”. Wtf.

You need none. They release free content together with every DLC too. Also you can get the subscription for a month and cancel immediately if you want to try all of them.

Maybe Hearts of Iron or Stellaris?

They have mandatory military service no? Then isn’t every person from Israel ex- IDF.

This was supposed to be solved by the global minimum corporate tax, which the US withdrew from.

The US is hurting itself the most with tariffs. There is more to trade than just consumer spending.

If you manufacture something in the US, where do you get your materials from? All the switches, resistors, wall anchors, tools… You have a shop that’s 100% using German machine tools you can’t expand anymore. Intel cannot built or upgrade fabs because ASML is dutch. Using any power tools? Built in China. Yes they are buying less stuff but they also sabotage their own ability to built stuff. Every US product will get more expensive anyway due to this.

They are doing this at the same time that they massively cut public spending for a nice double-whammy. They can’t even react because they are indiscriminately axeing the state workforce.

Best I can do is to boycott all US products.

Really curious for q1 earnings.

What is in the debug log?

I got one a while ago and they are great for cleaning small objects, and glasses. Basically ultrasonic sound waves get send through water, small cavitation bubbles form and rip off the dirt.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a public project, but for most people, be it YouTube, twitch, github, whatever, its not so easy. Negative comments grate on you, and, over time, can really take a toll.

William Osman interviewed a bunch or creators about this: https://youtu.be/DVCpKfedfok

Its not as easy as to call people out. Some people go great lengths out of spite, doxx you, send you death threats… Is it really worth it? Not that a “fuck off” will work anyway.

You say people will join you but they really don’t. The reality is there are a ton of crucial open source projects being run by one person on the edge of burnout. See curl, xy, etc.

Money absolutely would help and I wish the EU would put additional funding into this.
