The joke still works fine, just replace PS2 with PS5 in your head.

I also can’t imagine being a Trump supporter so…

Lol “real IDE”. Name the actual day to day feature(s) that makes it “real”. Just saying “you use a little bitch IDE, i use a real IDE” is not an argument.

How about you stop typing and go step on a landmine in Kursk if you wanna be Putin’s patriotic little bitch boy so badly?

Hell, NK joining the war is an escalation by both NK and Russia. Does this justify NATO adding Ukraine just for them to immediately invoke article 5? I don’t think so.

Here’s the thing, if Ukraine just invaded Kursk, unprompted, and Russia used North Korean troops to push them back into Ukraine, it would be problematic because of the sanctions against North Korea, but it would not be an escalation, it would merely be Russia’s allies helping it to defend itself.

The reality though, because Russia is in Ukraine, is that those troops, even if they’re only deployed to Kursk, are done so to free up more Russian troops to invade Ukraine. Which makes it a massive escalation of the invasion of Ukraine no matter what.

NATO troops (or planes if we were to impose a no fly zone), would, however, still be purely defensive. Hell, ask Ukraine to give up Kursk for direct Nato support and they would in a second.

It’s not about cheapness, it’s about consistency.

You wanna set up different dev environments and process for every single language you or someone from your team might use? Oh we need documentation and a license for IDEA when we’re doing Java work, and PyCharm when we’re doing Python work, and WebStorm when we’re doing JavaScript work, or we just all use VSCode for everything.

I’ve worked on Java teams, Python Teams, JavaScript Teams, C# teams, and quite frankly, I’ve seen no major benefit to a dedicated IDE for that language vs just configuring VSCode plugins and CLI scripts.

VSCode & VSCodium are also free for commercial use.

Why learn an IDE you won’t use anywhere else?

Can you imagine being a Putin supporter and simping for such a dumb and cowardly piece of shit?

Now get Netanyahu and Gallant for killing 30,000 Palestinians and we might see peace.

Once the leader who murdered 30,000 Palestinian civilians is brought to justice, maybe.

No, it’s not.

It’s literally a concept no normie knows about nor would care about.

They are not trying to follow some tankie on a banned Marxist instance, they’re trying to follow cute cat pictures on lemmy.world.

End of the day, just like with safe site filters etc, you’ll end up with most instances following similar enough protocols and federating with each other and the vast majority of people seeing the vast majority of people, with some fringes blocked for some people.

I guess more accurately, Chagos as a culture is founded by slaves who worked the island and were freed. It was originally part of the Seychelles and then transferred to be considered part of Mauritius, and then sold to the British, and then leased to the Americans, but the Chagossian people have never really considered themselves part of Mauritius. Certainly more part of Mauritius than Britain, but still distinct as a culture, people, and language.

For the record, even the Guardians coverage of this is terrible.

1. They are handing control of Chagos over to Mauritius, not back to being an independent Chagossian state culture as it operated before. (Though arguing that it was technically part of Mauritius and illegally separated is the legal justification for returning it, so this was unavoidable given the path taken).

2. They did not consult widely with Chagossians, just the Mauritian government.

3. Part of ‘handing over’, includes a mandatory 99 year lease for the main island of Diego Garcia to the US for their military base.

It’s better than the UK controlling all of the Chagossian islands but it’s a far cry from justice.

What the honest fuck are you talking about?

Xbox does not have full screen ads.

You’re literally describing the process of learning.

Allow them and if Russia strikes the West then have NATO impose a no fly zone over Ukraine and see how far Russia gets.

Honestly, what is the alternative? Allow Russia to take any territory it wants? It’s fucking absurd to listen to their bluster. At this point it seems literally no different than attempts to appease Hitler.

No, it’s focusing the conversation.

We’re talking about the relative pain of cutting off Chinese imports or getting into a trade war with them. In that context, the fact that we import far more from them then we produce domestically compared with decades ago means that it will be more painful to do so now than it would have been decades ago.

The reality is that while there is a tiny ‘buy American’ push from some people, the vast majority of the American economy and regulations are setup to allow private capital to trade freely abroad and import at will. And it was done intentionally so that rich people could benefit from cheap overseas labour, furthering wealth inequality when middle class factory workers lost their jobs to increase corporate profits with cheaper overseas factories.

The series of free trade agreements the US negotiated with everyone they could would say otherwise.
