i feel like many files with the same name could mess with the context

think the same! also from tooling perspective.. search README and you get XXXX results. (same happening now with index.tsx..)

i never thought i would live to see the US support such a campaign by a clearly rogue terrorist ethnostate run by war criminals

Hitler learned his craft by copying how the USA treated Native Americans.

(not really, it was more from how French, Belgians and Germans treated the African population they occupied) (not a fan of the US but I have to defend them here)

The F, B and Germans might have killed millions in Africa, but the American conquest of the West was different.

American built cities and killed the natives and started farms and introduced cattle and crops, while the Europeans mostly kept to a few strategic towns and cities and did neither.

Hitler was a big fan of American stories, just like Stalin loved westerns.

I'm just talking about the tactics the Nazis use and the work camps. Huge inspiration from Belgian Congo, Madagascar "tache d'huile" tactics and the German Mozambican work camps into genocide around WW1.

Concentration camps were not a new invention that only appeared w/ the Belgian Congo etc.

Mining operations for example in the Roman times were hardly any different, thousands if not more died in equally horrible conditions. The construction of the buildings and the mechanim may have changed but the results were the same.

No women and no children worked in salt mines. Salt mines were often temporary punishment or permanent punishment akin to a death sentence for slaves and captured enemies. The way Belgian/German concentration camps were managed in Africa was new. And paved the way to Hitler.

And I don't want to poorly paraphrase Aimé Cesaire, so I'm taking a translated quote: 'What he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.'

justice doesn't have to be productive it has to be fair

It's completely failing at that too. Public trust in the courts is lower than it's ever been, and it was never all that high to begin with

You've never heard the phrase "justice delayed is justice denied"?

how so? delayed justice is denied justice

the workflows are still so scpecific to the individual that they all feel like a short blanket at some point, i have my own "framework" that i'm perfecting for my use case

I have the same feeling when I come across a new one. It's easy to throw something together that's good enough. That's why I open sourced spekk. I don't think there's a product here, just a way of thinking and doing I want to share.

FWIW, there are about ten people using Spekk at my agency daily. The standardization across people and projects is helpful to us. It's built for teams like us, not just me. There are definitely some features that took us a few weeks to months to get right, even AI assisted, and I think that has value whether you use our tool or ask your AI to copy parts of it.

We're a small team though, so your point still stands.

will check it out

i always thought they were a neat idea (they only barely started appearing where i live in the last ~10 years) but it seemed a bit strange that they were so common

that's so dumb on so many levels... should we strip cars from active safety measures and let drivers who are not super good at driving just kill themselves on the road?

I agree, but what I disagree with is the idea that everyone must be prevented from freely installing software on their own devices to make sure unskilled people cannot be tricked into doing it.

I don't really understand why a well designed sandbox and permissions system doesn't solve the problem.

Parent commenter's argument wasn't that people don't know to use good passwords, instead they just don't care. I think in that case getting hacked is completely one's own fault. If we're comparing this to cars, a closer analogy would be dying in a car crash because of an unfastened seatbelt.

Well cars kill people, granny using the password “password” does not. We can’t prevent all levels of stupidity and carelessness.

If people want to have dumb passwords and download malware, then so be it. You think they can’t do that today with the google play store? Of course they can. Most malware on android comes from the Google play store.

Maybe a drivers license should be needed to have a phone.

maybe there should be alternatives to using the smartphone for everything, personal finances included. my bank stopped offering a home banking service for example (yes, of course the mobile app still sucks), and it's a trend.

wild that some people still except someone else to side with their views just by pulling these entirely out of context in this year of the Lord

some ways of using crypto are pretty common in countries with high inflation rates

weak src: me, a citizen from a country with high inflation rates

i think alien 3 is better than aliens

it's not that deep, they wan you scrolling the most time possible. it's absolutely escapable tho, literally not required for any activity whatsoever.

Totally. The hard part is treating it like any other addiction. Time in absentia helps reduce the behavioral reinforcement. I don't even want to open Instagram anymore.

Yeah, but if he can buy a bit of political power/more money on the side by promise to influence certain trends, I doubt he would say no on ethical grounds. (Just for the fear of whistleblowers I guess)
