its less the paying for a sub, and more that the whole financial backing of the internet (advertising) is reaching a point where its just too much.

yes, we know. yes, this was an obvious consequence of trumps policies.

The entire administration has done one thing: sell of all of the US's assets, and convert it into profits for the trump family. thats it. Every action taken since the first 40 executive actions signed, through doge, defunding USAID which murdered over a million children, or bombing Iranian schools, has been to enrich trump and his friends.

Thats it. It's very simple.

They traded away every piece of soft power they could find and exchanged it for cash in their pockets.

He's married... he made an oath, signed a social contract to another person, his wife, that he made the conscious choice to break.

Its clear his wealth generated a level of narcissism here that rose to a level that permitted him to invalidate the feelings of his wife, who, again, he made a vow to.

It does not matter if some hot chinese spy tried to get into his pants. He still let it happen. He his actions spoke for him: "I know i have a wife, but this chinese spy is so hot. I dont care about my wife anymore, but im going to keep this a secret from her because I know its wrong". For a loooooong time.

I'm personally so tired of excusing infidelity. He is a big boy. He can make big boy decisions.

Unless they're a poly couple, who knows.

Can you please point me to the documentation on marriage?

everyone at my job knows to never utter the phrase "simple software change" when im within earshot.

The overall reliability of a system is time invariant... its either reliable, or not.

The fact that it has gone x days without an incident doesnt upgrade or downgrade its reliability. The engineering and processes are function in an equation that calculates mean time to failure. Life-critical processes have numbers placed to this... like a failure every 50 years or 100 years... or 100000 years, and you work towards solving that.

what an absolutely awful take.

And what an absolutely awful summarization of your argument. The take of let's not change anything ever and trust the process won't work long term.

they did... it was just singly redundant. they would need double redundancy here. so 3 connections, not 2

Taking one connection out for maintenance and leaving only 1 live connection is not redundancy, it is a failed backup.

Redundancy is always having more than one live connection.

Has anyone run the math on how many terawatts of power electron is responsible for wasting on needless abstractions?

electron is a blight on computing

Would i rather have a massively bloated cross-platform electron app, or a native app in rust assisted by ai?

the native app wins every single time. Give me native or give me death!

why is this "historic"? the thirst for this admin to use the most bombastic language possible is so tiring.

Just... modernize the thing already. thats your job. It's not impressive that you did this. You're supposed to do this. You dont get extra kudos for doing the thing you signed up to do...

and dont forget to put Trump's name at the beginning. Or he might get cranky

Everything they try to spin positively has to be 'historic' because:

1. The party leader is a fragile, dying narcissist who is desperate for his name to be attached to anything other than the misery he's inflicted upon the world.

2. Their _actual_ historic achievements are all war crimes, human rights violations, and policy changes that would terrify their average supporter if they actually understood the long-term consequences.

It’s historic because no else has done it in the last 40+ years. Doesn’t make it a big deal, but it’s still a big change.

It is a big deal if you fly :)

The inability to keep the air traffic control system effective and maintainable is far more embarrassing than the inability to update the IRS software or build a high-speed rail.

You could call it histrionic.
