Depends. On Linux or older macOS where light mode typically means a comfortable light gray? Light mode is the way to go. On Windows where light mode means an eye-searing onslaught of #FFFFFF? Dark mode is the only sensible choice.

And even if the warheads aren't functional anymore, nobody wants to get a dirty bomb dropped on their heads. The best nuclear weapon is one that's not launched.

Still doesn't mean Russia gets to do what it wants.

That's why they're on the plane; they're working overseas.

German here. I rarely had less than half an hour of a commute but that's in part because I find that time acceptable. I typically choose my mode of transportation to hit half an hour, whether that's public transit, a bike, or even walking.

Could I save ten minutes by getting a car or motorbike? Sure, but the cost far outweighs the benefits. Besides, I like to ride my bike and mostly work from home anyway.

PO: Someone else figure out how to repeat what he did.

Second developer: Sorry, I tried to make sense of his rocket design but I can't figure out how to make a copy that doesn't explode before we even put the fuel in.

Besides, isn't China already selling ammo to them? I could very well see China selling vehicles to Russia in large quantities, even on loan – and all it will take is Russia to become even more of a Chinese satellite state.

We tried sitting this out and it didn't work. Ukraine's new approach of actively making Russia hurt looks more promising.

Well, his party is trying to make people forget he's in there for fear of losing votes. Given that this party is the "presentable" face of the hard right I hope he gets as much media attention as possible.

Not sure anything is going to happen to him personally but he's a politician and this is corruption so probably not.

A friend of mine works in marketing (think "websites for small companies"). They use an LLM to turn product descriptions into early draft advertising copy and then refine from there. Apparently that saves them some time.

Counterpoint: The rest of the Fediverse can see it too so it's not just for Lemmy.

Windows Phone was mostly sabotaged by first-party developers. Microsoft has a history of abandoning their mobile phone OSes after very short periods of time and nobody trusted them not to do it again. As a result few app developers bought into the ecosystem and smartphone enthusiasts told their friends not to get Windows phones, causing modest sales, causing Microsoft to immediately drop the platform.

As everyone expected them to.
