By itself, this won't do anything (because you will still be using service that utilize US servers, but will be an important step for the safety of the non-US world.

I guess it will be other way round. More services will be run independent of the US and this will result in pressure to also solve the cert issue.

When people say "the right did X" most likely the person they are discussing with didn't do X, but might (to some degree) identify with being part of what is meant by "the right". Same goes for "the left".

I live in Europe, so I don't have the deep knowledge and experience of people living in the US, but I have a more high level perspective instead.

To me, that partisan thinking is the biggest problem in the US, by far.

All above was originally written as an answer to Rick, but I figured here might be the better place for it, because I don't see an indication for past or present support of Trump. All he said was "I am a conservative voter" while vastly agreeing to the the critics of Trump. But because everything is "them or us" he is is one of "them" and therefore he is X and does Y and so on.

I believe if the US wants to survive, society needs to overcome that at least to some degree. Biden acknowledged that by using the term "Time to heal", at least that was my interpretation back then. Didn't work obviously, maybe he was the wrong person for the job or it wasn't time for it yet, idk.

I believe watching some "tagesschau", the primary format of the public media in Germany would be something of interest for every US citizen. Just to experience the style.

It's part of German culture, all movies on all channels start at 8:15, because that's when tagesschau ends. The structure, the style, how news are reported has not really changed since the 80s, maybe it has basically never changed.

They do framing, I don't think you can report news without framing them, but it never gets wild and they try to show what different sides have to say about a matter.

Others have already pointed out that the source of this article is not reliable, so we should wait what actually gets proposed.

I hope people here are aware that you can push your repo somewhere else if wanted.

Git is a distributed system, there isn't even a server, only other git repo instances that are remote.

What's the problem with the approach?

Lack of sleep doesn't kill you / does kill you in the same sense.

Just closed a trade zone deal with South America that was 20 years in the making. Now in deep discussions with Canada that itself is desperate to reduce the bonds with the US.

In a few decades, US will be at the same spot as Great Britain has been before. They will realize they lost a lot of their standing in the world and are now just one of many countries.

The only good thing about Trump is that he is stupid. If he had been clever, Europe would have ended up in a much worse position.

However, he was super transparent from the beginning and even started a war, giving Europe the opportunity for an easy united (non-) response. The war even showed the reliance of the US on Europe bases for their power projection. Making the reducing of man power that followed even more dysfunctional.

Only thing he could have done to destroy all bonds with the western world faster is to actually annex Greenland. However, there's still plenty of time for that.

I have seen examples where some opinion gets momentum and it's repeated over and over again on the Internet even though the merit is very questionable.

Haven't looked enough into Rust to form an opinion though.

If you don't need compile time techniques (templates, concepts, consteval, context, ...) then C++17 might be acceptable, too.

Modern C++ is pretty nice to write and compile errors are sane as long as you utilize concepts where it makes sense.

Administration trying to force somebody out of the country to apply for a work visa just after they finished their 3 year training ("Ausbildung") on a training visa.

Before, the mother was not allowed to bring her child (10 years old) even though legally she had the right to do so. Fighting for a year, then paying a lawyer to solve the problem within a few weeks.

All while we are in desperate need of those people. In healthcare and other security as well.

It's madness as well and unfortunately people fail to realize both sides of the story, only seeing one of them.

From what I remember, most of them don't migrate though but return to their home country after a season. Back to their families and a country with much less living cost.

Was some time ago that I last read about that topic though.

Will somebody ask question about 10 Million spent later on? Would be curious how that works. My guess would be that only the overall result counts, so if you happen to increase the 1 billion (by whatever metric used) enough, nobody will care about "some dozen millions" spent on some non performing companies.

Maybe that's totally wrong. At least I know a guy working at internal revision at a bank and 1 Million missing from the books is a big deal there.

I do realize that the head line is misleading and nobody spent millions on this particular company. From what I have heard over the years such things do happen, though.

They will keep going as far as they can because they obviously use all leverage they have as the current administration to distribute their narrative. Using official governmental websites for politics was a first step, installing an political app on all employees phones is another step. There will be more steps.

In some autocratic countries, the emergency broadcast system for mobiles is used for political messages. The US is not there yet, but the current administration for sure tries very hard.
