this administration is going nuts day by day. I don't know how people are even tolerating.

I don't know either. Every day we sink further. I'm losing my fucking mind.

This is completely sane and consistent with the incessant lies, and crackdown on free speech across the US-owned internet. The free flow of information is a threat.

Lotta people just stick their heads in the ground and ignore it, exactly like they did with all the warning signs during trump’s last term.

Too many people have rebuilt their entire identity around the guy. It's just like people who get scammed and then keep giving money to the scammer even after you tell them what's going on. Admitting that they've been scammed would be a blow to the ego that they can't handle.

Combine that with a general inability to understand or empathize with what's going on outside what they can directly see. How many Trump supporters have we seen who loved him cracking down on illegal immigrants until the crackdown came for someone they cared about, then suddenly it was an outrage (but only an outrage in that specific case)? How many have cheered tariffs until they had to pay a bunch more money for something? How many said "no more wars!" and thought it was great how Trump didn't invade anyone in his first term, and now are saying that attacking Iran is great because they've been an existential threat for half a century? This will be the same way. It'll be, yeah, stick it to those foreign bastards. America First! Then in a few months or years, "The store doesn't have any routers, what the hell?"


The people who can leave are leaving, those who cannot remain until potential change is possible.

Bloomberg Editorial Board: The US Must Not Become a Nation of Emigrants - https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-03-20/immigr... | https://archive.today/a9DbM - March 20th, 2026

> A recent analysis found that US emigration has reached unprecedented levels. Much of this exodus is due to the administration’s deportation efforts, but by no means all. Last year, at least 180,000 American citizens left the Land of Opportunity to find a better life elsewhere.

> During the recession of 2008, a Gallup poll found that about 1 in 10 Americans wanted to permanently leave the country. That figure is now 1 in 5. Among women ages 15 to 44, it’s a whopping 40%. Some of that sentiment is tied to politics, of course, but the emigration trend predates the current administration.


I'm one who left before term one because I anticipated bad things happening. Term 2 is far worse than even my worst expectations. So far I have 2 good friends who left, and a few others got remote jobs and are currently working towards leaving. There's a whole world out there and a lot of it is great. I recommend trying a year outside to everyone I know, and I'm confident most people will be happy (excluding those who like seeing their extended families on a weekly basis, which many people do)

I take the Michael Bolton attitude, why should I leave, he's the one that sucks. There are elections coming up.

are there though?

They are until they aren’t.

“Day by day?” “Tolerating?”

It has nothing to do with the current administration. The Secure Equipment Act was passed in 2021 and signed into law by Joe Biden.

> This law requires the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue rules stating that it will no longer review or approve any authorization application for equipment that poses an unacceptable risk to national security.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Equipment_Act


That act does not require the FCC to issue any blanket ruling like this. And the "unaccceptable risk" provision is legally dubious at best.

That's not entirely true.

The Secure Equipment Act itself was passed in 2021, but the law itself doesn't proscribe any particular equipment or manufacturers. Instead, tells the FCC to create a list and delegates listing duties to various parts of the executive branch (national security agencies, Commerce, the Federal Acquisition Security Council). That's what changed yesterday and it was in fact done by the current administration.


The Biden administration declared ZTE, Huawei and a few other small Chinese companies as supply chain risks and prohibited importing their hardware --- the Trump administration just declared every single router made overseas as a risk. If you can't tell the difference between those two things...

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-420034A1.pdf


That says "telecommunications equipment" and it sounds like its talking about network equipment. The page you link to does not mention any developments since 2022 so what has changed this month?

There is quite a stretch from “unacceptable risk to national security” to “absolutely any foreign-made equipment”. And that stretch has everything to do with the current administration.

microslop isn't going to fix anything. Action matters more than talks.

codex is far better in terms of performance than claude code.

Rust is different as there is no runtime.

Yes, instead we pay with requiring supercomputers and 10 hour compile times to process billion of those “atomic architecture”.

I'm not very familiar with rust but I'm pretty sure it has a runtime. Even C has a runtime.

Unless you're talking about an "environment" eg Node or the like


Indeed Rust has a runtime, I'm not sure why the whole "Rust has no runtime" comes from, I keep seeing it repeated from time to time, but can't find the origin of this, I don't think it's ever been true?

The only thing I can think is that folks are getting confused by stuff like the JRE and Node being called "runtime environments".

but it still increases compile time, attack surface area, bandwidth use, etc.

I’m assuming you’re referring to an async runtime like tokio. In my option the dependency problem exists with or without tokio. Tokio is probably one of the best dependencies

Microslop can commit, but I don't think they can get fix bloatware. Adding customer feedback form isn't going to fix it.

Honestly, I like codex performance compared to claude code.

and full of garbage ai related post.

there is so many way to make it undetectable, but it is cat and mouse game.


Yeah, they’ll just close their eyes and say our kids will figure something out.


My friend used to say that, and he got quietly fired and outsourced because now someone in India can use ChatGPT to produce similar code, lol.

IMO AI will make 70-80% job obsolete for sure.


But, as I said above, I don't produce code; I administer it (administrate? whichever it is).


>now someone in India can use ChatGPT to produce similar code,

lol, that sounds like a disaster for the codebase.
