  • So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?

    Mexico is not China.

    It is in our best interest to have a stable and economically improving neighbor on our southern border.

    Your all or nothing / black or white view of the world is extremely childish & naive. Simple solutions to complex problems are just how politicians manipulate those who don’t want to think to hard. Stop pretending that global trade policy is a simple solution arena & try thinking a little harder.






  • And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.

    The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.

    This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.

    Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.

    The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.

    Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.







  • Because it’s shit.

    If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.

    Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.

    Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.

    I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.



  • It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.

    It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.

    What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.

    It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.
