Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:<p>Just wait until Trump decides to put tariffs on cloud services. Claiming that other countries are abusing valuable US resources by running their workloads in US based datacenters. And that they must pay for that. <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/SarcasmButOnlyHalf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SarcasmButOnlyHalf</span></a></p>
Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅<p>Can US media stop pretending that the tarrifs are "reciprocal"? Or that the numbers Trump shows for what e.g. the EU charges on US imports is anywhere close to what it actually charges? There just simply is no 39% tarrif that the EU charges on US goods, it's completely made up</p>

Adrian<p>it's coming together</p>
Cassidy James :eos: :gg: :fh:<p>I get that issue trackers are hard, but I feel like stale bots that *close issues* come off as so hostile. I shouldn't have to come back to the issue tracker every month to confirm, “Yes, this is still an issue!” to prevent the issue from getting closed.</p><p>Tag an issue as “stale” for easier triage—that’s fine! But “oops you aren’t engaged enough, sorry, your issue doesn’t exist anymore” feels like a bit of a slap in the face. Especially if it gets closed as “not planned.”</p>
