I can get a Anker 2 pack 6 feet USB-C cable for $11 lol. Why in Christ’s name should I buy an Apple-branded cable?

But then again, I don’t have anything from Apple, so moot point I guess

I am baffled as to why people want a GUI for Docker, of all things

Components? What exactly would be a “product” for you then? For all intents and purposes, I get the exact same quality from AliExpress and Banggood that I get from Amazon, just the latter charges me twice/thrice. Even my experience with refunds has been better with the Chinese than Amazon who absolutely doesn’t want to part with the money they wrongly took from me.

I wouldn’t buy expensive electronics like Mobile phones and TVs from Chinese shops. Cups, a torch, key fob, package opener, tape etc are all “products” I bought from AliExpress which would have cost me at least twice as much from Amazon/Walmart. Why on earth should I shop at American companies again when they resell the same stuff to make extra profits off of my back??

OK, give me an American retailer who can give me the micro-controllers and sensors I need, preferably at a reasonable price. For example: a $40 ARM board with dual ethernet and WiFi card slot.

You’ll quickly realise that there’s a lot of things missing when you completely discount China.

Yeah I wouldn’t really depend on such flimsy electronics for something so dear as a pet

So, no digital electronics at all. That’s a great life

I’d rather pay 80% for things that have a 50% chance of turning out shit anyway. What makes you think Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart are any better?

Nobody should be buying an automatic litter box from any of these sites. They’re all coming from China with the same build-quality regardless of whom you’re buying it from. I do not get the hate against Chinese shops but loving American brands who do the exact same thing but can somehow get away with empathy from people

Instagram is a “moral service”?

The only thing I use Proton for is free email accounts. They take that away, I move to cock li (I’m already in the middle of a mini-move but you can never be sure of when the smaller providers will fold).

You wouldn’t download /boot, would you?

His engineers built it, he didn’t do anything there

What is the aim of this project? Is there a reason why we want to port systemd to distributions which do not want to use glibc?

Don’t sign in?

Chinese EVs it is then

Hmm, true. IA wouldn’t be as supported if we couldn’t get the full text of the source.

Can you tell me more about the “warrior container”?

Wtf, the general population must be a bunch of morons

If OpenAI can get away with going through copy-righted material, then the answer to piracy is simple: round up a bunch of talented Devs from the internet who are writing and training AI models, and let’s make a fantastic model trained on what the internet archive has. Tell you what, let Mistral’s engineers lead that charge, and put an AGPL license on the project so that companies can’t fuck us over.

I refuse to believe that nobody has thought of this yet

That is brilliant, I really wish they do it ASAP

Funny business, we need to get them to move to Codeberg

I don’t give a shit about what work gives me saying all I’m doing is work on that thing. Now what I’m really afraid of is Microsoft pulling data from the sensors on the device when I’m working from home with it. I need too think of a way to deal with it (I do not have a separate room for work)
