Why the focus on Obama?

The reason is likely skin deep. Literally.

If they keep saying it, maybe it’ll be true just like the 2020 election fraud!

I wouldn’t put it past the stores to ask for an executive order to make theft punishable by losing fingers.

Stupid?

Either party was going to do that, unfortunately. But this is definitely worse with Putin being invited to take the VIP seat at the table.

Need someone to remind you of this comment in 2028?

Well friend, it’s a good thing you don’t use a Mac, then.

Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈

Credit where credit is due, at least scientologists are the better educated of the bunch. Fuck them both, though.

Shame you only made an account 5 hours ago. I was looking forward to reading some shitpost takes.

Don’t forget snaps! Fuck snaps and snapd. Furthermore, fuck automatically installing the snap when I try to install software through apt.

I need to try with my user agent set to a Chromebook. Maybe I’ll even get a discount.

That assembly is for a DOS application. It would be more verbose for a modern Linux or Win32 application and probably require a linker script.

But python turns that cute little line up top, into that mess at the bottom.

Technically, not quite. Python is interpreted, so it’s more like “call the print function with this string parameter” gets fed into another program, which calls it’s own functions to make it happen.

I’m probably completely insane and deranged, but I actually like assembly. With decent reverse engineering software like Ghidra, it’s not terribly difficult to understand the intent and operation of isolated functions.

Mnemonics for the amd64 AVX extensions can go the fuck right off a bridge, though. VCVTTPS2UQQ might as well be my hands rolling across a keyboard, not a truncated conversation from packed single precision floats into packed unsigned quadword integers.

Then drag and I are in agreement :)

I saw drag clarification that drag comment was just about milk and not politics or economics. Myself and others had a different interpretation, which is where things were misunderstood.

Understandable. I hope drag has a good day and glass of ethical milk.

If drag does not support China, drag is probably not a tankie. If drag calls drag communist and consider Russia and North Korea communist-led countries, drag is wrong, however. A charitable description of those countries would be “socialist” by Marx’s definition.

So, Drag thinks countries that act as though their neighbors are part of a greater whole ruled by them as the motherland, and have political structures where the governing body consists of a small cohort (and not the proletariat) are communist?

That’s imperialism, buddy.

Let me know when: 1) China stops trying to exert absolute control over Tibet, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; 2) North Korea accepts that their ownership ends where their globally-recognized territory ends; 3) Russia stops invading neighboring countries; and 4) All three of them abolish the ruling class and give the power to the people.

The constant cheerleading of brutally-repressive regimes that don’t have any values in common with actual socialists or communists just because they oppose the US and its allies.

This is my main issue with tankies. Yeah, late-stage capitalism sucks and exploits the layman to enrich the rich further—I take no issue with that. It’s the knob-slobbering of Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un that makes no sense. Modern-day Russia, China, and North Korea have about as much in common with communism as oat milk has with milk: nothing but the name.

In late-stage capitalism, they are.
