Are you referring to Twitter or the FFS? GPL use in new projects has been steadily declining. The "cool kids" are going MIT and Apache.

You probably don't know but there is another kind of phones, "Android" iirc.
Bad guess. I'm a developer and I also have a Google Pixel.
Republicans still don't believe Trump's policies cause inflation, do they?
No, its that inflation is lower.
(You know Biden actually had inflation under control by the end of his term,
You know that inflation is cummukative?
From Google:
Inflation at the End of Biden's Term (Jan 2021 – Jan 2025)
Final Rate: The year-over-year inflation rate for the end of the Biden administration (ending in December 2024/January 2025) was approximately 2.9% to 3.0%.
Peak: Inflation reached a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022 before beginning a gradual decline.
Context: While the rate of increase had slowed by January 2025, cumulative price increases over the four-year term were approximately 20%–21%.
Inflation Currently Under Trump (as of April 2026)
Current Rate: Based on data from early 2026, the annual inflation rate was reported at 2.4% in February 2026.
Trend: Inflation was reported at 2.7% in December 2025 and dropped to 2.4% by January 2026 and February 2026.
Factors: The decline has been attributed to falling energy prices and a cooling of the core inflation rate, which was 2.5% in February 2026.
a problem he inherited from a combination of inheriting Trump's economy and the COVID supply chain problems, right?
Actually no, Biden significantly added to inflation with the green new deal (name otherwise to obfuscate).
And he did that while maintaining full employment,
Not really, it was mostly jobs returning as covid ended.
If what we're experiencing right now is the Republicans "better energy policy", I'd hate to see their bad one. There is no possible way a hypothetical Democrat administration could've screwed the pooch on fuel prices any worse than they are right now. Imagining the price at the pump would be worse under Kamala is pure copium.
There is ni need to imagine. We know the answer. From Google:
President Term Average Price
Donald Trump (First Term) $2.57
Barack Obama (Second Term) $2.95
Barack Obama (First Term) $3.12
Joe Biden $3.60
With their new Mythos model they can take Pentagon down, that's what I hear anyway. Maybe Pentagon needs to be taken down as well as the rest of the regime and all of the regimes.
Apple's foldable iPhone is still "on track" for a September unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup
No problem, I was happy with the SE in the past. I can always return to that line if the options are only "fold" or "pro" among the newer models.
if I still had my ICE car, I'd be buying $4.30/gal gas on top of the increased costs of everything else.
You need to re-read. The question above is not "what if I still had my ICE car". The question above is "If the Democrats still ran the show". The point made was that current EV buyers have a net win without the EV rebate due to better energy policy which lowers the costs of everything fossil fuel delivered.
Let's see, what's worse:
1. Having an EV
Fake Straw Man. No one said anything against EVs.
What was said is that fossil fuels are what delivers food to your local supermarket, and pretty much any other store and even deliveries to your home. So owning an EV does not mean one is immune from higher fossil fuel costs. Which leads to higher costs for nearly all consider goods. So that EV rebate gets wiped out by bad energy policy.
... dependent upon fossil fuels...
Yes, folks, he's literally to ignorant to know that diesel has a higher energy content than gasoline
LOL. Both diesel and gasoline are fossil fuels
... a war he started on a whim
Not really. US special envoy Steve Witkoff reported that during negotiations the Iranians claimed to have 1000 pounds of enriched uranium that could be further enriched to produce 11 nuclear bombs. A bluff or not, it is product to assume it true.
... apparently (nytimes) talked into it by Benjamin Netanyahu,
Not really. The Vice President recently pointed out there are numerous 10-point lists from numerous factions. And the one the NYT refers to is one rejected and originating from the Revolutionary Guard. Its not what the current cease fire and talks are based on.
If the Democrats still ran the show, there'd still be the new and used EV credits at least.
And totally offset by the 6% inflation on your grocery bill, and everything else dependent upon fossil fuels to show up. You realize that includes the stuff at your local Whole Foods?
All I have are trump shitcoins
I am thinking that if Iran was a bit smarter, they would have required payment in the TRUMP coin (for how could DJT object to that?)
In Trump style negotiations, you always enter negotiations with things you are willing to concede on. Throw aways to trade for something you really want. Bitcoin is likely just one such throwaway. Like switching from Bitcoin to TumpCoin to "legitimize" the concept of being able to collect a fee in the first place, which seems to be a defacto violation of the laws regarding international waters.
That said, you know the f'n reason the USA created a standing Navy 250 years ago was so it would not have to pay tribute to the Barbary pirates in the Med.
All I have are trump shitcoins
Good. Because by the end of negotiations there will be a switch to TumpCoins.
Help! I'm trapped in a PDP 11/70!
