If the Chinese government has the data at least the US government can't grab it and use it in court.

Not living in China I'm not too concerned about the Chinese government


Working on the tech department of a big slow non-tech corporation, like a railroad or a bank or something. Make a low end software engineer salary, ime little pressure to overachieve or work extra hours, usually have an excuse to delay stuff (waiting on another department, bureaucracy, etc). I've found those jobs pretty low pressure without a ton of actual work to do.

And then detained him a second time, don't forget

But not for people who don't have legal permanent residence

Sorry, citizens being detained in handcuffs for hours on suspicion of not being a citizen, simply for being Latino, despite carrying a federally-approved ID, is in fact drama.

You got your REAL ID because you were legally allowed to be here. They wouldn't have issued it otherwise. DHS approved your REAL ID so they have no reason to assume that if you a have a valid one you're not allowed to be here


The feds certify REAL ID status, not states

VSCode over SSH kinda rocks honestly. I use it with my server all the time.

In my previous work, a few folks in my team used VSCode on a shared dev box. The box has 1TB memory, and we'd frequently OOM due to vscode servers taking up tens of GBs of memory (which adds up quickly when there are multiple vscode windows per person). Sometimes it'd eat as big as 100GB until it had to be restarted. Sure, big codebases, but that's just straight unacceptable.

What are you doing such that it uses tens of GB...? Vscode is bloated, but not THAT bloated...

Which language/plugins?

C++ (clangd) and Python (pyright and ruff). But I think the excessive memory usage came from huge number of files in the code base, plus some really large files (given I ran LSP on neovim too with much smaller footprints).

I mean I've used code over SSH on machines that won't even have ten gigs of RAM let alone tens of gigs. I use it via WSL at work on huge projects but WSL might have optimizations plain SSH doesn't. Idk what y'all are doing, that sounds like you've done something strange.

VSCode over SSH is one of the best ways to develop on various SBCs. You can run the code on the SBC while having a high powered editor experience on your main machine.

It's the primary way I work on remote servers. Takes a few seconds to start up, but then it's just as if I'm working locally.

Literally nobody has said things were good before. Only that they are objectively worse now

If you think Biden is corrupt surely you're completely crashing out about Trump.

Or do you only care about corruption when it's not your team?


Biden is a 5+ decades politician, he is corrupted and has had every fiber of being sold to the highest bidder over and over again. it is you that care about “which team you are on” - not me. I have been a democrat my entire life and will continue to be so especially now that alternative barely exists but I also posses intelligence to know that democrats (especially fucking establishment ones like biden) are corrupt to the core

Since this thread has mostly been for the benefit of others reading it, let me close with this:

It's fine, good even, to be unhappy with e.g, joe biden and want someone better, however you define that. It is very much not fine to not vote or vote for trump because getting trump is 1000 times worse and there is no conceivable world where electing trump leads to a better outcome for us.


100% agree with every single word you said. I hope the country gets wise (somehow we always manage, see 2020) for 2026/2028 cycle...

[flagged]


Well, the alternative was trump, who is more senile, more corrupt and has somehow been a public loser for longer than biden has been a politician.

I'm not interested in arguing about this I'm just trying to get the other person to see their own hypocrisy

well since we don't really get to pick much you get to pick the worst of two evils. like 2am at a bar and there are two of the ugliest people sitting and waiting - you know you are taking one home so... ;)

I'm perfectly happy going home alone, you greedy freak

What team am i on?

Why do you think I said Biden isn't corrupt?

I'm well aware of how corrupt Democrats are. You seem unaware of how corrupt Trump is.


not sure where you are getting that I am "unaware" of the corruption, just not sure where you are all getting "oh, the 'degree and magnitude' of corruption is now 'much worse' than it was before" when in fact this isn't something you can back up reasonably so it is just shooting the breeze without anything to back it up with. they are all the same mate, all the same ;)

As far as I can tell, the only way you can assert that trump is precisely no amount more corrupt than any other politician in history is if you're completely unaware of what he's been up to the last 10 years.

That, or you truly deeply believe all acts of corruption are perfectly equivalent regardless of their circumstances.

You insist neither is the case, but i see no other way to reach your conclusions


I can, in fact, back up the assertion that the corruption is much worse now. It's not even difficult. What is the point of lying about something like that?

Lol which major media companies paid bribes to the Biden family?

I don't disagree that they're all corrupt bastards but come on man you cannot seriously pretend the degree of corruption is the same.


> degree of corruption is the same

the echochamber is going nuts… look at this thread and see how many of you are saying “degree of corruption” and then think whether or not you are getting this fed like clowns from whatever fucking (“social”) media your brain is being poisoned and then start to question your life’s choices


Lmao you don't know anything about what i read or believe, and i don't use social media.

Are you arguing that every act of corruption is of precisely equal magnitude and consequence?


nope, I am educated so I don't write silly blanket statements like this without having something to back it up with. I am not saying that it less, equal or more corruption cause this is something that you cannot measure. you can only believe crap you read (depending on your politics you will be in one or the other echochamber) and then go "oh, the 'magnitute' of corruption is now "bigger/smaller/equal" than in ____ [insert year/administrations/...]

Ok, so you do actually believe there's no difference in degree. You can just say as much.

I have said so, in like 13 comments in this thread

Except you're still calling us idiots for saying corruption can happen in degrees.

The only way for the "degree of corruption" to always be the same for every person ever is for every act of corruption to be of perfectly equal magnitude and consequence.

If an act of corruption can be of greater magnitude and consequence than another, than it's perfectly reasonable to say that someone who engages in corruption of greater magnitude and consequence does so "to a greater degree" than someone else.

So which is it?

I think deep down you really prefer to pretend that it's all perfectly equivalent, otherwise your simplified world-view doesn't make any sense
