nato is a trench coat filled with nations with 2 agenda’s that take precedence over defending ukraine:

the united states wants its minerals and is using its leverage of weapons to force the ukrainins to sign over minerals rights without any future guarantees of security; robbing them of a future income from this natural resource.

europe want’s them to sign over guarantees of future economic ties with strings of future austerity measures as disguises to ensure that eu will have permanent access to the ukrainian market; robbing them of the ability to keep their future economic independence.

the ukrainians were fooled into believing that they could join the nato fold by the americans and the only thing they got for it is a dissolution of their future sovereignty like the vassals states of africa and latin america.

how could anyone interpret a meteor impact as cause for war?

i started in a similar fashion (but through IT instead of electrical engineering) and i’ve also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago, but not because of the bad code bases.

it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i’ve always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.

i use cookie autodelete and the containers for the websites i that i know are harvesting/selling my data.

it works well for me so it makes me wonder how it’s tedious or buggy for you,

If you can afford it; get a lawyer in involved.

If you can’t: pray, if you’re religious

If you’re not: I hope you’re not American and I hope you’re lucky

I suspect that this is the story for most Linux users; windows failing at a critical need

windows doesn’t show linux partitions correctly.

did you have it setup to ask you which operating system you wanted to boot and do you still see it?

in 2002 when my windows me computer start looping on the blue screen of death, with all of my college papers/essays/tests/assignments trapped in it.

the recovery media refused to work because i had upgraded the computer several times and i couldn’t afford the $180 windows xp cd. so i bought a linux magazine for $5 that included a copy of mandrake linux installation media and used paper printouts from my college’s computer labs to help me rescue my work from the computer.

i think of it as another distro, but with a really good eco system like redhat or ubuntu.

sand is merely tiny rocks; they’re one in the same. lol

my favorite used to be a sauce named “amor” that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.

it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank’s hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.

the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i’ve been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.

i wish i could speak mandarin so i could visit and try out these things that have over there.

it’s wild to see how little people are responding to it; i attended a protest over the weekend outside an ice facility and there were fewer than 3 dozen people there. it makes think that it’s going to get a lot worse before people start taking action.

it reached an absurd level in austin texas well before trump became a thing; they show up to gay bars to entrap men into breaking the law with the intention of citing enough legal violations to justify shutting down the bar permanently. it’s so bad that the bars have responded by hiring off duty police because they have a chance of recognizing officers in plainclothes.

real world alchemy. lol

vim should make yaml editing easier and you’re familiarity with vi should help a lot.

are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?

will nano or vim work?

somehow it seems to be only youtube, xcancel and lemmy…

are american ships going to start hauling isreali freight?

porn star; that is if i were hot. lol
