There's more than ten nationwide communist/socialist parties, plus a bunch of state-only parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_party_(U.S._politics)#Left-wing

Were they wrong somewhere? I mean, come on, a smartphone without 3G or third-party apps? The Eee PC, who has ever heard of it after it was released? HD, we still have 720p and 1080i living 15 years later while you can buy an 8K TV for $500 in the store next door. Nobody uses Facebook any more. And the Wii that everybody bought was a lifeless piece of furniture three months later.
Two thirds being confident to work in Rust within two months of learning it doesn't sound particular fast, tbh.
In our company we're currently transitioning from old-school Java to Google's Dart (plus the Flutter framework), team by team. You get one to three days to set up the environment, reading and doing some codelabs, a course of two days and then you start developing in the decently big Dart codebase the other teams already prepared, starting your daily development business. (A second two-day course follows some weeks later). Well, nobody (systematically) asks if you're feeling confident to contribute in Dart, but it obviously works and I haven't heard any "I can't get my head around this" type of complaints.
Sure, maybe going from Java to Dart isn't that much of a change as going from whatever these 1000 folks at Google came from to Rust, but if one third of the developers does not feel confident to develop in Rust after two months of learning it, this sounds like a lot to me.
Part of the answer is: because they all (and more, from Facebook to kbin) exist. If there would be the one big Twitter alternative where everybody who ever wanted to leave Twitter would go to, then there would be a chance that you'll find enough interesting accounts to follow there (and then it would become more attractive for others to go there and find enough followers, and so on). But if one goes to place A, one to place B, one to place C, then you likely won't find the one place where everybody you wanted to follow is.
This post is from early May, so probably long before they decided to kill the API (and the actual experiment could have started long before that post).
Gekühlt hat er offensichtlich noch, und für den offenbaren Fehlalarm wurde ja bereits eine Reparatur angesetzt, pandemiebedingt halt nicht sofort, sondern ein paar Tage später.
But the oldest comments both there and on kbin.social are more than 55 minutes old without appearing in the respective other place.
Geburtstage sind doch vollkommen harmlos. Aufgrund der Wiederkehr in exakt jährlichen Abständen easy berechenbar.
Was immer völlig unerwartet kommt, ist dieses ominöse Weihnachten. Und der eigene Hochzeitstag, von dem man immer erst an dem Tag selbst erfährt, wann er ist und dass er extrem wichtig ist.
Revisiting my comment after the second episode was released: Interestingly, they run the same series of content under two different titles. Under https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/cities-skylines-2.1147/ it's featured as "Development Diaries", while under https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/features the exact same bits are labelled "Feature Highlights".
Both places contain the same video, again titled "Feature Highlight", and the same roadmap for upcoming episodes of this series, titled "Dev Diaries Road Map".
Naja, zu exakt 1,5 bzw. 2 Metern Abstand kriegt man die Rowdys damit nicht, aber mit so 'nem Ding lassen sie halt ggf. 30 cm mehr als ohne.
Meine Frau schwört seit Jahren auf so ein ähnliches Teil (am Gepäckträger befestigt) und zumindest wurde sie damit noch nicht umgefahren, also hat's bislang wohl nicht geschadet.
Amazing how still many of those developers post things like "Hey Elon Musk, something broke, please help us" rather than "Hey all, Elon Musk once again fucked with the system we're paying $42,000 / month to use, and there is nobody at Twitter we can even talk to".
