I'm curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I'm afraid that at some point, we'll realize there are issues with the software we're using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.

Are there any instances of this happening? Where something is designed with a flaw that doesn't get realized until much later, necessitating scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch?

The business world moves very slowly.

"Out of date" tech to some people is battle-tested to others.

The gist of it is that it bogs down the network.

You can still do it safely, but people on the internet will say no for the aforementioned reason.

Why don't americans just make better drones if it's so important?

Oh yeah, 🤑

Don't kill them. Redistribute their wealth.

Absolutely. We've all heard the "jews control the media" rhetoric from 4chan.

I'm pointing out that there is definitely some truth to Zionists controlling the media, as we see everyday with people losing jobs and facing censorship for support of Palestine.

I think it's in the best interests of Jews to distance themselves from Zionists as much as possible.

Sure! Here is Osama Bin Laden's letter "To the American People."

https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ubl2016/english/To%20the%20American%20people.pdf

"As for us, our Iraq was invaded in response to pressure from capitalists with greed for black gold, and you continue to support the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities."

"They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to oppress us and occupy our land; that was the reason for our response on the eleventh."

It's sad how in 2024, Americans still don't know about this. He made it very clear with no room for ambiguity.

It went viral on tiktok awhile ago, then they started censoring anyone who shared it. I'm not saying jews control the media, but it's clear that those who oppose Zionism are faced with censorship and ostracization, especially in the business-world.

The facts just don't lie, unfortunately.

which caused four homeowners to sue in protest in 2022.

So this is what rich people do with their excess wealth.

They use it to further oppress poor people!

Remember this whenever anyone says "they're a business and they need to make money."

[-] sepulcher@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 months ago

Fuck rich people.

Every last one of them is a scummy, scammy piece of garbage.

Yes. Human lives are just another data point for these companies.

If it's cheaper to have people die than to make things safely, we all know what they're going to do.

The solution is to create penalties that outweigh the profits.

Nobody is pretending they're fireproof.

French canadians are some of the most entitled and insufferable people on the planet.

I totally agree with your assessment about Mint and Debian.

I like Debian's minimal approach, but I think minimal can also be user-friendly.

I still has a nice installer, though.
