Are you paying maintainers for that, or are you just blindly demanding things from a piece of software maintained by volunteers before saying iT'S sO uNprOfEsSiOnAL ?

Thanks for mentioning that, maybe that's where i can start: https://archlinux.org/donate/

> That $23/hr in France would be taxed at 30% compared to 12% in the US.

So, since you're full of shit, let's do the math. I'll even be kind, I'll go 1$ = 1€. 23€ per hour, 35h/week, 4 weeks per month (broadly). 3220€ gross, which, to cut things short and not even get into gross -> net, let's assume 100% of your gross is now net, is 38640€ / year. The 30% tax BRACKET starts at 29316€. 25% gets taxed at 30%, 60% gets taxed at 11%.

Anyways, you're full of shit, I just needed people reading you to know it.

yes, yes, the spectre of communism, BYD is the CCP, Alibaba is the CCP, stealing your children and eating them for Mao, bla bla bla.

I have a feeling you'd be slightly salty at people saying "Google and Tesla are making CIA models"

I mean...

I know, but it's far too fun to bait the parent into revealing how ignorant they are.

Going by their response you appear to have been correct lol

I'm not salty, they are just confused about the difference between free enterprise capitalism and communism, which is understandable.

Google and Tesla making products to sell to the government is different than the government funding the government to make products for the government.

In China it's all one entity with these mock facades of privatization. Trump cannot instruct Google to put picture of dogs on their homepage. If Xi wakes up and wants dogs on Alibaba's homepage, give it 30 minutes.

It's wholly ignorant or dishonest to make the comparison.

> Trump cannot instruct Google to

Tim Apple and the other tech CEO constantly groveling at Trump’s feet indicates that he might be able to do that.

Just like threatening TV networks about having their licenses revoked of blocking mergers unless they fire the people making fun of him on TV (of course with slightly mixed success)

> Trump cannot instruct Google to put picture of dogs on their homepage.

Sundar Pichai would personally be barking on a livestream on the homepage.

Trump is quite literally the one president showing that the US has zero rules or anything to hold power back from the white house, really not the example you want.

Seems like everyday Trump has another order struck down by the courts.

Sundar can do whatever he wants, but he has no legal obligation to do any of it.

Courts and legal obligations are to a certain extent irrelevant at this point. There are plenty of illegal ways that Trump can fuck over Google and face no consequences.

e.g. he had Colbert fired (and who knows what else) by threatening to block the Paramount/Skydance merger

> Trump cannot instruct Google to put picture of dogs on their homepage.

I'm sorry, but that was a horrible example. Corporations have no obligation to donate money to the ballroom yet Google has donated millions.

>Corporations have no obligation to donate money to the ballroom yet Google has donated millions.

Imagine living in a country where they have the obligation.

Which country have that? Pretty sure ballrooms for their supreme leader is an American thing.

Sorry, C isn't mostly terse, it's __builtin_mstly_trs()

Because 16 years old do not have a card with no spending limits, and with very low online spending limits. Most of those cards are even just for withdrawing

Spending limits don't particularly matter here.

AWS doesn't check if your credit card will be able to handle a $5k charge before letting you rack that up, and in fact AWS doesn't support setting any spending limit.

You just have to put in any valid credit card at all when you sign up, use AWS, and at the end of the month you'll have a bill. At no point does your credit card limit or a spending limit enter into things.

And again kids don't have credit cards

I got mine when I was 12, IIRC. Not a credit, of course, it was a debit card, but not all countries bother to differentiate between the two, it was just a “bank card”. And I believe it had a credit card BIN because all local banks did that to get more in processing fees.

I do not specifically believe you can run up a $6000 bill on AWS with a kids card. It beggars belief as does the idea that this is a literal rather than mental child

AWS accepts debit cards.

Nobody has a card without spending limits.

Sending a clanker to waste their time, threaten the network stability and profile users is already an attack.

You choosing to send said clanker to the fight armed with your credit card and no preparation is just you causing yourself harm.

It also happens to be really fun to help you harm yourself in that way.

There are plenty of people looking, not just the Asahi people.

How else could they launder the git license and set themselves up for a bait and switch later down the line?
