@TheDuranReal According to Trump, he never was. "Do you view Vice President JD Vance as your successor; the Republican nominee in 2028?" "NO." (...) youtube.com/watch?v=lZBxch…

JD Vance: casualty of Trump policies - or of his own choices?

@BattlePheasant @KimDotcom @grok 6 million. 6.000.000. A 6 followed by 6 zeroes, published on the 6th of the 6th in the year of the Lord 1915. x.com/CryptoPeta/sta…

@KimDotcom @grok How did 6 million die then?

.@grok can you confirm the contents of this screenshot?

@BattlePheasant @KimDotcom @grok 6 million died when Auschwitz counted for 4 million of them.

@Sander7408 @KimDotcom @grok 1933 was the year the Haavara agreement was signed between Nazi Germany and Zionist organisations, facilitating Jewish emigration from Nazi Germany. Between 1933 and 1939, roughly 50.000-60.000 German Jews emigrated under this agreement.

@Colonthreee Open source like "linux" and "git" is just creating more work for everyone involved. There is no reason for it to be so complicated, convoluted, opaque and behaving like it knows best. It should not require the user to know a billion commands and "tricks" to use. It's unscalable.

@0x44_ @Colonthreee Just pick up books on Linux and how it works, and spend some months understanding it from the perspective of making it. All its decisions will make more sense then. It's a quagmire admittendly, but once you spent years owning the box and get good grasp of it, it's fairly robust.

@WeTheBrandon The 8 days of remembrance are because it still works so well.

It’s interesting that US Congress has an eight day period of remembrance while Germany, the nation that perpetrated the Holocaust, has only one day (Jan 27). Why is that? The Holocaust is a tragedy but America ended that tragedy by winning WW2.

@kivilcimiol @igor_os777 Yes, none of it is hard. But all of it combined is a permanent headache, because Linux is full of these kinds of oddities and pits of failure.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 They aren't, it's quite simple to memorize tbh

Ever wondered why Windows uses backslashes (\) while Unix stubbornly sticks to forward slashes (/)? Blame IBM and Microsoft’s shortsightedness in DOS. Unix pioneered forward-slash file separation, a sensible design choice adopted in URLs. When MS-DOS added directories, forward slashes already had another job—command-line options. In a panicked rush, Gates and company arbitrarily chose backslashes. Cue decades of pain for generations of IT admins juggling both OSes. One tiny decision, forever cursing humanity with confusing slashes, awkward escapes, and decades of ranting from frustrated Unix beards. You can practically hear Unix devs laughing all the way from Bell Labs.

@kivilcimiol @igor_os777 Yes, but allowing this is professional degeneracy of the bearded old men. If ls shows me 'my new file.txt' like this, I'm not even sure the quotes are in the filename or not. This is just one of these reasons why nothing is ever fast to accomplish in Linux.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Backslash is the major escape character separator since almost all major and minor programming languages descend from C which uses backslash as the escape character

@RainerS2066246 @igor_os777 True men use US keyboards. We Dutch changed the US keyboard pretty much only to have AltGr properly labelled. On a US keyboard you just pick US International layout. Just learn to be faster hitting Alt+225 for that odd ß if you're German 🙃

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Usable without SHIFT on english keyboards. On german 🇩🇪 keyboards it's 'AltGr + ß' somewhere in the darkest corners 😖. Similar for french 🇫🇷 and spanish 🇪🇸

@icpolicy @igor_os777 I don't have DOS near me to try, but yeah this would annoy me.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Slashes have actually been supported ever since DOS added directory support x.com/icpolicy/statu…

@PlanetOfMemes Much too much salt?

What did I do wrong?

Definitie van autocratie, @superjan? #35 @ 1:04:10?

Definitie van autocratie, Jan? #35 @ 1:04:10? "De democratie waarin alles al vaststaat. Waarin alles nep is. Elk overleg met de overheid is nep, want uiteindelijk gaan ze je forceren." Ulsula "we've got tools" von der Leyen. De democratie met de escalatieladder is een charade.

@brockpierson It is actually now less shitty than the logo.

First thing you think of when you see this

@lippyent 33 rps is 1980 rpm. That is the typing speed of a FHD secretary.

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@Dolfijnmanjohns Same thing. It is a matter of succession, each of these empires providing lineage, royal blood, roles, operating schemes, institutions and influence to the successor, extending to today. Even in obvious ways, if you care to inform yourself.

I myself think about the Dutch Empire quite often.

@NoContextDutch1 No hug!? Or is that only for officials pretending to be gay?

@IRAN_in_NL Hold this line. Consistently. x.com/IRANinTJ/statu…

Trump crossed a red line. Mocking Jesus Christ is not free speech — it is blatant disrespect to billions of believers around the world. Faith is sacred & must never be used for ego or politics. #FaithMatters #JesusChrist

@IRANinTJ Tajikistan, ..., How can you take such a bad situation and screw it up even worse?! This can be criticized on so many levels. The simplest of which is that it is just incredibly crude and small minded. If this is supposed to be humour, then you have some reflection to do.
