Are the Debian devs preventing you from running software on your machine? They even document how to create your own packages, and running your own repositories.

Clouflare is modern day Crypto AG, performance is the side deal they use for recruiting.

I went and checked, a big house in Porto, in the Marquês area (very much one of those purple streets in Monopoly) goes for over a million euros, and she casually mentions she bought two!

Five years ago the golden visas was still in effect, so the A2 language thing is just for show, she bought a luxury home so she has permanent residency.

Of course the healthcare is great compared to the US, she doesn't work so doesn't pay taxes to fund it. It's probably genuinely top of the line, there are several central hospitals in almost walking distance.

So this is like a profile of someone who bought a house in Brooklyn that likes to walk in Central Park and go to Bellevue for free.

At least she lives in the house, it's better than leeching off some working family with usury rents.

A 4k a month salary puts you in the top 10% of earners, make sure your guillotine insurance is in order.

So, it's not automated and the title is a lie? Just submarine marketing for "digital nomads" to come buy overpriced shit and crowd out the locals.

If it's automated, why bill nearly 2 grand? For running a script?

Is it growing?

Don't they report annualized revenue AKA the best month times 12? How is that comparable?

Some of those missiles go up to 12M$, they launch several of them at once, and the estimate on the drone price might be 7k$.

In can the math was not lopsided enough.

They might be counting sightings over Israel, Iran, and GCC countries.

I have seen many social media videos of fireballs in the sky in the last few months.

It's not a tax, Tim Apple gave him the gold personally, with cameras in tow, he did not submit the ACH data to the IRS.

It's bending the knee.

Why degrade himself, what can Trump do that their trillions cannot cushion?

> So you think he is a Trump supporter, then?

He literally gave him a gold trophy! How is that not support? It's beyond compliance in advance.

To a president hell-bent on overturning Obergefell v Hodges, even.

He gave him more gold than Maria Corina Machado.

Excuse me? Giving a literal gold trophy to the God-Emperor Trump is not politics?

"Someone" was the original mysql creator. It was a brilliant way to get Oracle cash then havr his own company. Getting a cake, and eat it too.

Bannon was already jailed for failing to adhere to a congressional subpoena.

What he probably means is being killed in prison, "suicided" when the cameras are mysteriously off, but this doesn't make sense, he's in the side of the oligarchs.

They would leave to what company? Microsoft? OpenAI? Grok? All those are defense contractors as well.

Now, if you said "the Deepseek" guys, that would be different.

> Navegações

You mean "Descobrimentos", although that is kinda old fashioned.

They were "discovering" lands, the same way I discover Disneyland when I get there from the first time.
