The mirage 2000 has to be one of the most beautiful places ever made though

yeah because half of them are 1234

oh shit does the mig1.44 actually count as a eurocanard then

gripen is just genuinely really cool generally

you can try it now if you want and it does work surprisingly well, but their timeline is still “alpha in 2026”

that is actually really goofy, didn’t know about that

“Invent” is the wrong term, it’s “design”.

a new idea is an invention, the implementation is a design.

yeah no fucking way they’re respecting user privacy. data up to the server and down to the client is encrypted with https anyway so I really don’t see a point in the e2ee

let me provide you an analogy to what you’re saying.

“The US appeals to right wing philosophies so the left doesn’t need to be accepted”

what do you think?

The impression that I got from Andreas was that he just didn’t want the repo being flooded by politics because it ultimately is cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically.

He obviously didn’t foresee the harm it would cause to the project by controversy and boycotts, how do you think he would’ve acted if he had?

I think we’re all generally left leaning as people on fedi and tend to get in our echo chambers and think that we’re closer to the global centre of political spectrums than we actually are, but I think it’s important to understand where the majority of people stand so we don’t get out of touch.

You have to remember that over half the voters of the US election voted for Trump. It is true that they’re American, but I think we should be trying to understand why they did so rather than screaming at their face every time they deviate from our views of the ideal.

Also, can we stop disparaging the opposition with names? From my point of view the left seemingly calling every Republican a “Nazi” sounds just as stupid as the right calling everyone on the left “woke”, and I think this applies to anyone outside this bubble of politics. My belief is that we should be organically introducing that meaning to the name “republican”, rather than diluting a historical term.

khtml deserves to be in the gift to humanity category

that just depends on how comfortable the instance owner is, if i was hosting I’d ip block the UK

tbh if the government demanded fediverse servers do this then they’ll probably comply as well, I really don’t think this is apple’s fault as much as i hate them and every similar tech megacorps
