Version 2.0 implies an improved version.
Version 0.1a is more apt because of the shoddy programming and rollout.
Maybe where you went to school.
2.0 just means I've decided the bugs I've introduced since 1.0 are now "features".
Can I pay for use on a monthly basis with the hopes that a stable product is possible in 2-4 years?
Sure.
Fires half the dev team for share buy backs.
2.0 means they've decided to change their license to a subscription model, and put all the useful features behind a pay gate. You can't leave because they have all your data and there's no export feature.
More like Mussolini 2.0
I dunno, the first time Hitler tried to do what Mussolini did, he ended up in prison. Mussolini was more competent but had to make do with an Italian army while Hitler was less competent but got farther because it was still a German army supported by German engineers and scientists.
I think Trump to Hitler is more accurate, especially when considering Putin for the Mussolini role. Ukraine would be Ethiopia (though with more support this time around instead of just league of nations hand wringing about the whole thing). Israel/Palestine would be Spain, except it's entirely one sided.
I hope Trump loses (election and coup/civil war) before we find out who gets to be Poland and France this time around. As a Canadian, I'm a bit nervous, about either that or being more like Austria. Though if we could be Czechoslovakia and just give them Alberta, I could live with that (other than seeing that BC would likely also be annexed).

Please no, it's already bad enough here under Smith, I don't want Trump in charge
Yeah, even Texas has some decent people. And tbh, Canada could end up being more like Hungary or Austria because there's a large conservative presence here, too.
So you're saying the trains are going to run on time.
Got it.
Despite how common that saying is, trains in Italy were a shitshow under Mussolini
Version 2.0 doesn't necessarily mean improved. If we go by semantic versioning and we leave the compatibility aspect out then 2.0 just means a significant amount of features have been added to warrant a major version increment.
Usually features mean better user experience but not necessarily. For example Hitler 2.0 would have less focus on antisemitism, more focus on general racism. Feature change, but not really an improvement.
v2.0_rc-1
Damn bro there are kids on here go easy
Fun fact: The comparison isn't even completely inaccurate, Hitler's fundamental ideology (social darwinism) is also at the core of Trumps thoughts, see this long article.
It is innaccurate to call him the 2.0 model though
Hitler v1.0.0.0001
- now with more blatant sexism
- introduced improved racist algorithm
- reduced charisma iot connect with untrained users
- increased fragility of ego to keep charisma in check
- decreased intelligence to stabilize ego and fortify charisma
- fatter model to survive harsher winters
- smaller hand model to appear taller
- added slurred speech algorithm iot appear incompetent (helps with connecting to poorly configured user systems)
fatter model to survive harsher winters
Heavily insulated for protection from 'non-existent' climate change.
Ah, they learned from the Russian front I see..
Lol all I picture is Hitler telling Donald he is the knock off and Trump saying he is the upgrade.
It's like the fascists wanted a new Hitler but went to the cheapest Chinese factory they could find and failed to specify most of the parameters (as I understand it, Chinese manufacturers are pretty good at following specifications, but anything you don't specify might as well be randomized).
And then, when they sent an early sample to show that they're about 33% of the way there, they just cancelled the rest and went with that sample.
The funny/sad part is, the actual Hitler was a beta version of that same process.
The guy was a fucking mess. He had gas that could clear a ballroom. Was addicted to every substance available, had incestuous and pedophilic tendencies, and thought that a fedora and dog whip made him look cool.
Remove the bit about the whip and you could be describing Trump (though the addiction part might not apply to him and I don't know if Trump's reported stench is coming from gas).

Probably closer to 8.0 at this point. From Chang Kai Shek to Augusta Pinochet to Idi Amin to Bong Bong Marcos, we've been minting new fascists practically every decade.

Eugenics is the real Woke Mind Virus. It's been rampaging through human civilization for centuries.
Hitler cited Southern Jim Crow laws as the model for Germany to follow in Mein Kampf.
Trump is just an accurate reflection of the worst section of our country and their legacy of evil.
The south wrote a massive advantage into the constitution by way of the electoral college, and until it's repealed they will continue to elect the most evil possible choice in any election.
My parents in their 30s: unemployment for people our age is at 20%, interest rate on mortgages is at 18%, all that's available is McJobs...
Gen X didn't have it easy after the boomers filled up all positions up to the mid/late 70s.
OP's parents are probably older.
That or gen X is completely glossed over as they always are and the Zoomer > Millennial > Boomer idea is maintained
They've just never been that interesting
As my mother would say, "Whatever."
Never mind

As a gen-xer, I find all of this super annoying and I'm thrilled not to be a part of it
Your parents probably voted for Nixon and Reagan
They probably bought a house built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground, too.
People live to forget where all that cheap land came from, back in the 70s/80s. A century of genocide and oh hey where did all this Terra Nullis come from? Amazing.
That point 30 years ago was like the last chance to get housing at any reasonable cost. Even the crash of 08 just sorta brought the prices back to normalish and started going up pretty fast.
I love imagining Hitler rolling over in his grave being super pissed off about being compared to such an unlikeable dweeb like trump.
You should look more into what Hitler was actually like personally. The dude was basically a giant incel.
This shit feels like Majora's Mask only it's going to be really slow and somehow worse.
So tru
