this is turning out to be a disaster for the tech communities and powering technology fearmongers because people do not understadn the case here.

From what I can see, the meta cutoff data was from a time where one candidate was confirmed and the other wasn't. The political interference here was actually the timely manner for them to fix this. It took weeks of public pressure / federal government pressure for Meta to act.

do you folks use any type of OS build toolchain (e.g.: bazel, pants, plzbuild) or is it something custom made?

I guess "building things that do not scale" didn't pay out here.

I guess they need to put money towards hiring engineers to implement features that government branches are asking for, rather than hiring a massive amount of sales/commercial lads to just go out and sell promises

how far can your copium go sir? Talk to any person in the Amazon area or in farms nowadays and you will see the net positive.

No it doesn't create reflections, I got the mini and it looks alright. You seem in disbelief just because my rhetoric doesn't justify your point. However even banks nowadays in Brazil use starlink because overall fiber is disrupted either by crime or drug fiends who thinks fiber is copper.

Family lives in Rio/Brazil. With the efforts from our government every year that passes, public safety becomes worse and suburban areas get more marginalized, it got to a point where the drug traffickers from my area start cutting the fibers and leaving letters on mailboxes saying that from now on, anyone who wanted internet had to get their illegal internet.

Which meant shitty speeds and if you have a problem with billing/service you cannot complain to anyone. Their service would go down for days and there is nothing you can do besides rely on shitty 4G. When Starlink became available in Brazil this was the lifesaver for my family

this makes sense. I will give it a try via opencode and see how does it do.

how does GLM-5.2 fare against fable/opus 4.8? I am thinking about moving my 5x subscription either towards the GPT equivalent or the GLM one (I heard GLM gives you 20x the token usage for the same price of anthropics 5x)

yes we need more regulations Mr. Government. Why not use technology to advance robotics and self-driving when we can have more fines and scrutiny around the constituents.
