South Africa’s economic timeline is the craziest self-sabotage I’ve ever seen…
They were hitting 8% GDP growth while sanctioned by the entire world
Then sanctions lifted → they passed 140+ race-based laws and quotas… and completely nuked their own economy
Now they’re sitting at 32% unemployment, zero investment, and a massive brain drain
Turns out when you criminalize meritocracy to force equal outcomes, you just destroy whatever was actually working
No companies want to invest. Chinese and Korean firms have already left
They nuked their own economy by choosing racist laws over meritocracy
Their game plan: legislate prosperity by making everyone equally poor
It’s straight-up economic suicide dressed up as justice
NEWS: Senior Government Members Lie About Starlink in South Africa
Parliamentary chair Khusela Diko claims Starlink’s FREE high-speed internet for 5,000 rural schools “brings nothing to the table” and “won’t move the needle an inch.”
The Truth: Starlink is putting up R500 million of its own cash for zero-cost kits, lightning-fast internet, and full maintenance, forever.
This connects 2.4 million rural kids in deep countryside areas where cables and towers can’t reach. Kids get online classes, free learning videos, homework help, and real skills for the future. Teachers access better resources. Entire villages finally join the digital world, boosting education, jobs, and hope where it’s needed most.
@elonmusk is stepping up with real help for free while politicians downplay it. Stop the lies — approve Starlink NOW!
Digital sovereignty… it’s about giving organizations the controls needed without limiting access to cloud & AI innovation.
That's why Microsoft is pleased to have been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Sovereign Cloud Platforms, Q2 2026: https://t.co/gSxxQzrWYX
lmao I can't stop laughing
claude-code has a "Frustrated User Detection"
There's a regex that detects when you're angry
( fully hard coded btw)
When triggered, it changes Claude's behavior/UI state.
Claude literally knows when you're cussing at it.
@qatarairways the sad thing is that the codeshare airline is so bad I won’t fly qatar again because I am scared of the other shoddy airlines you may use.
@qatarairways first flight, I loved the flight with starlink & both flights to Riyadh were easy.
I figured let’s fly using the airline again to India, well, no starlink on the long flight, paid for internet that didn’t even work. indigo codeshare is a flying sardine can! 🤮🤮🤮
