System shock 2.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

A long read, but a fascinating one:

...others tried to convince Trump that his rhetoric—publicly mocking Kim as “Little Rocket Man,” for instance—could trigger nuclear war. “If you keep pushing this clown, he could do something with nuclear weapons,” Kelly told him, explaining that Kim, though a dictator, could be pressured by his own military elites to attack American interests in response to Trump’s provocations. When that argument failed to work, Kelly spelled out for the president that a nuclear exchange could cost the lives of millions of Koreans and Japanese, as well as those of Americans throughout the Pacific. Guam, Kelly told him, falls within range of North Korean missiles. “Guam isn’t America,” Trump responded.


Kelly escorted Milley to the Oval Office. Milley saluted Trump and sat across from the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk.

“You’re here because I’m interviewing you for the job of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump said. “What do you think of that?”

Milley responded: “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.” At which point, Trump turned to Kelly and said, “What’s that other job Mattis wants >him to do? Something in Europe?”

Kelly answered, “That’s SACEUR, the supreme allied commander in Europe.”

Trump asked, “What does that guy do?”

“That’s the person who commands U.S. forces in Europe,” Kelly said.

“Which is the better job?” Trump asked.

Kelly answered that the chairmanship is the better job. Trump offered Milley the role. The business of the meeting done, the conversation then veered in many different directions. But at one point Trump returned to the job offer, saying to Milley, “Mattis says you’re soft on transgenders. Are you soft on transgenders?”

Milley responded, “I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender. I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”


Trump called Gallagher a hero and said he didn’t understand why he was being punished.

“Because he slit the throat of a wounded prisoner,” Milley said.

“The guy was going to die anyway,” Trump said.

Milley answered, “Mr. President, we have military ethics and laws about what happens in battle. We can’t do that kind of thing. It’s a war crime.” Trump answered that he didn’t understand “the big deal.” He went on, “You guys”—meaning combat soldiers—“are all just killers. What’s the difference?”

I've been working in Godot for about 3 years now, and have never touched GDScript. I personally haven't felt like a second class citizen, and have rarely run into C# specific bugs, or found the documentation was missing for C#, other than when I was using the GD4 betas.

That being said, I'm not currently targeting web or mobile with my hobby projects, and I know those are open issues with the C# support.

My 2c.

I'm sure influencers do, but over half the xevelopersyi like to follow on Twitter all created Mastodon accounts but never post to them. They all still only post to Twitter.

I've used sketchup in the past, and it works great, but for more recent projects I've moved over to blender.

I don't go into crazy details for projects, so mainly I just need real world measurements and units, and the ability for my wife to be able to visualize the project as a whole. She usually designs everything and I just make it work.

I use the free version of Todoist. I don't know what features google tasks all as now, but the big reason I switched from Tasks to Todoist was

  1. Being able to share lists - Super helpful for things like shopping lists
  2. Integration with things like Alexa - Going through the pantry and adding things to the shopping list with just my voice, or being able to add something to the shopping list just by saying it when it runs out is kind of like magic.
  3. Easy natural language recurring tasks

Alien Isolation

Yeah, I was going to pick it up, until I saw that.

Yeah, I was against it at first, because I don't like options being taken from me, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

The whole idea is based on the false equivalency that upvotes and downvotes are equal, when in fact people feel negatives much more strongly, and they also tend to have an oversized impact, like mentioned by OP.

That's the hard part. It takes some time to curate a good list. One of the nice things about ttrss is that you can drop any url into the subscribe field and it'll search the page for RSS feeds. I'm sure other readers probably do something similar.

When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It's a double edged sword.

I self host a tiny tiny rss instance, and while I'm not a huge fan of the developer and his behavior, I like the web app in combination with the android app. It's been working great for me for years.

It's always good to be in control of your own content sources.
