The Plastic Recycling Lie! The sad truth about our lifestyle. ♻️☠️ m.youtube.com/watch?t=371&v=…

@levelsio this sounds way too simple and does not take into account all the business consultants, tax advisor and such that would be out of business, because every normal human can handle this

Realistically I feel how Elon does it is smartest:
Stay out of politics directly but align with the right politicians and support them to get elected then help them as kind of a consultant
I'll happily support and advice European politicians if they want me to
I posted my key goals before which is crowdsourced based on what all of you on X told me how to save Europe and that I recommended to Mario Draghi:
1. Reduce regulatory burden for European startups
Our vision is focused on reducing regulatory burdens for small businesses, streamlining the process of starting and growing companies, and encouraging innovation. By exempting businesses with annual revenues below €10 million from complex regulations like VATMOSS, GDPR, and the EU AI Act, we empower entrepreneurs to focus on creating great products and reaching market success without being weighed down by compliance.
2. European Inc: a single pan-European business entity
We also propose the creation of a single, EU-wide business entity—European Inc.—that eliminates the complexity of dealing with 27 different company registration requirements. Starting a business should be as easy as clicking a button online, without needing physical offices, notaries, or lawyers.
3. Tax discount during startup phase
For new businesses, we advocate for 0% corporate tax for the first 3 years, allowing startups to focus on innovation without the pressure of financial strain.
4. Tax stock options when sold, not when exercised
We propose changing the tax policy on stock options to tax them only when sold, not when exercised, so that Europe can compete globally in attracting top talent and entrepreneurs.
5. Embrace AI and technology, don't fight it
We see tech and AI not as enemies but as crucial for the future of Europe. While Europe currently lags behind, we believe we can turn the tide by fostering an environment that encourages innovation rather than stifling it with premature regulation. AI can revolutionize industries like healthcare, education, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and of course software, and Europe needs to be at the forefront of this change.
6. Teach AI and tech in schools
Lastly, to ensure the long-term prosperity of the European Union, we must teach tech, coding, and AI in all schools and universities. By equipping the next generation with these skills, Europe can secure its place as a global leader in innovation.

Europe needs to accelerate. We've been saying this. cc @levelsio time to run for office. For real.

The entire world doesn't really recycle plastic and we've all been lied to for decades
Only about 9% of plastic is recycled
55% of plastic is dumped in a landfill (literally just buried)
25% or more is just burnt
orlie@sunglassesface
@IMAGINIF_ @levelsio We have shit recycling infrastructure in Austin, Texas too... I think we can't even properly recycle plastic bags, styrofoam and some types of bottles — all ends up in landfills. That being said I think we are the most advanced and conscious in our state

@buckstefan @OctoLinker So right now there's no extension that turns module dependencies into links?
English

Oh shoot, this is finally killing @OctoLinker Not because of feature parity (I wish this would be the case), but the new code view makes code injection (via browser extension) reallly tricky 😕
GitHub Changelog@GHchangelog
The new code search and code view is now generally available github.blog/changelog/2023…
English

@SunnyBadgr @OctoLinker OctoLinker had support, but
manipulating GitHub's DOM to inject links got increasingly more difficult after the entire code view got rewritten in React.
English

@buckstefan @OctoLinker I was just searching for an alternative to the abandoned module-linker Chrome extension and found OctoLinker. I just tried it, but it's not working for Rust deps (Cargo.toml) on GitHub :/
Do you know if there's a Chrome extension that still does this?🙂

@anze3db 48km/h ... this must be an awesome feeling, flying through the waves .. nice

What's your familiarity or contact level with platform engineering?

It took me a moment to grasp that those links aren't a new feature on GitHub but rather something that I added via tentacle.app 🤣

@jdorfman @nixcraft github.com/ajeetdsouza/zo… is one of my favorite tools to switch between directories a lot faster

The `everything` package – which depends on all npm packages – had 2 effects:
(1) anyone installing it would run out of disk space
(2) it prevented maintainers from unpublishing ANY npm package, due to a policy added after left-pad

First and probably my last sarcastic post about Platform team's

English

Started to write a blog post about how tentacle.app came to be, and to my own surprise, it all started in 2005 while working on a Half-Life 2 Mod as a teenager. Excited to share the whole story in details and hoping to complete it later this week.

Exciting news! With tentacle.app's latest update, it can automatically discover Backstage catalog-info.yaml files and display convenient links directly on the repository. 🚀
