Do you genuinely think the folks who “gambled” really understood the implications? How many random mailers have you gotten asking to switch to a random third party provider because “it’s better for the env” or will “save money”?

I mean I’ll grant you California is a shitshow but it’s been a shitshow since republicans got on their knees for Enron in the 90s and literally hasn’t recovered. How about Florida, which has been a red state for 80% of the last 30 years, low regulation, but instead of building new power they are keeping nukes going well past their service life? Abundant sun. Abundant wave power. They have the fucking entire European heating system right off the coast.

Your measure of corruption is what now? How many new things are built regardless of their need or what impacts they may have?

Very…unique standpoint.

You can change the provider to bitwarden.

Wow that’s madness

No the reason is they are pro-nazi

I’m never trolling about Linux. On Lemmy there are so many cultists that you can say the most innocuous things and it will be downvoted to oblivion or deleted for “trolling”. Maybe you don’t like calling it a cult but I get more downvoted for negative comments about Linux than other people do when they literally say Nazi things.

And then you get people like this…I mean what kind of broken prejudiced brain do you have to have to think this comparison is ok?

Oof you’re comparing government suppression of entire classes of people to linux’ failure to attract developers to the platform… How do you not realize you’re in a cult???

Not more options, you want your option to win.

that is your takeaway? You’re part of a cult if that’s really how you think.

From my pov I think you’re repeating exactly what I said, but I appreciate the additional details.

My last point is that “the design life we choose” is usually dictated by non-engineering forces. A 12th century king can throw resources at a problem. A 20th century governor cannot, and doesn’t care to. They care about the bridge lasting until the end of their term limits.

Why? Are you concerned that the date/time widget author is going to kill themselves? Or do you just not like the concept and don’t think people should talk about it? Something else?

One of those options is unlikely and the other is just a taboo.

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

Labor was free because of slavery, so the economics were not the same. Current engineering has the concept of “over engineering” which is what cracked-up addicts in wall street call “building to last”, due to the “expense” of not being shortsighted on a quarter by quarter basis.
