The topic you started was Germany allegedly being an oligarchy, moreso, that those oligarchs would form a singular clan. And I must disappoint you: The foreign policy failures of the last decades are very much a topic that's talked about in German politics.

--proto ‘=https’ --tlsv1.2

That's how you know they care, no MIMing that stuff without hijacking the CA at which point you have a whole another set of problems, and if you trust rustc to not delete your sources when they fail a typecheck, then you can trust their installer. -f is important to not execute half-downloaded scripts on failure, -s and -S are verbosity options, -L follow redirects.

  1. Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand
  2. Neither is Ukraine losing nor has the support been spotty. It could certainly be more intense, but it has been steady.
  3. Where is what money? Our defence budget has been a joke for ages.

Go back to lemmygrad, FUD there.

Like this? Like switching domestic heating over to heat pumps? Germany isn't planning on using any fossil gas in the future, the stuff that will be left (because it cannot be avoided, e.g. as chemical feedstock, or to reduce iron ore) will be green hydrogen.

Also I'm sorry you don't like Gepards, or Leopards. Or Lynxes. Big cats in general.

"Oligarch clan" LMFAO. You'd rather tame a herd of cats.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Especially because programming is quite fucking literally giving computers instructions, despite what you believe keyboard monkeys do. You wanker!

What? You think “developers” are some kind on mythical beings that possess the mystical ability of speaking to the machines in cryptic tongues?

First off, you're contradicting yourself: Is programming about "giving instructions in cryptic languages", or not?

Then, no: Developers are mythical beings who possess the magical ability of turning vague gesturing full of internal contradictions, wishful thinking, up to right-out psychotic nonsense dreamt up by some random coke-head in a suit, into hard specifications suitable to then go into algorithm selection and finally into code. Typing shit in a cryptic language is the easy part, also, it's not cryptic, it's precise.

Oh great you're one of them. Look I can't magically infuse tech literacy into you, you'll have to learn to program and, crucially, understand how much programming is not about giving computers instructions.

Lots of techies loved the internet, built it, and were all early adopters. Lots of normies didn't see the point.

With AI it's pretty much the other way around: CEOs saying "we don't need programmers, any more", while people who understand the tech roll their eyes.

Shovel vendors scrambling for solid ground as prospectors start to understand geology.

...that is, this isn't yet the end of the AI bubble. It's just the end of overvaluing hardware because efficiency increased on the software side, there's still a whole software-side bubble to contend with.

Nestle is currently lobbying the Commission to not dilute the supply chain act. Yes, I also had to do a double take when first reading that.

Which goes against the lobbying of associations of smaller companies whom, largely, the thing doesn't even (yet) apply to because they're not big enough.

Not really defending them they're all too big to exist but their business interests do seem to be aligned with doing the right thing, for once. Tough to sell stuff to Africa when you're accused of slavery and I bet they're sick and tired of lawsuits, those will be much easier to defend against when they have extensive reporting, protocols of inspections, etc. Also the profit they're making off slavery is probably marginal anyway, the local slavers are going to sell to Nestle etc. for marginally below non-slavery costs and pocket the difference.

It's not a thought exercise but a modelling discipline.
