They've been averaging over 1000 commits per week to their code based for the entire year now.

And I have noticed no benefit. WTF are they actually committing? More antisocial shit? More rearranging of the UI? More user hostile stuff? It may just be time to leave the fucking Internet forever. Everyone and everything just fucking sucks.

Democrats are fighting for people to have health care and food.

Hey great. Wonderful news. Yes, I will admit that the Democrats are a MUCH better deal than the Republicans.... but

Your measurements are relative. I do consider the relative, but first and most important, I check the absolute. The absolute contains Democrats fully owned by wealthy people who vote for laws that further enslave the mind and body of humans.

Is it better to vote for a Democrat than a Republican? You betcha. Is it okay to vote for a Democrat because they are a Democrat? Absolutely not.

I will vote for absolutely zero people with an R next to their name. Unfortunately, I will be voting for absolutely zero people with a D next to their name either. I would vote for a few people with a D next to their name, but they are not eligible to receive my voted. I would love to vote for AOC or Jasmine Crockett. Are either really capable of running a competent government? Doubtful, but their voices are better than the rest of the Democrats... and FAR FAR superior to anything the Republicans have said. They have gone full genocidal maniac at this point. WTF is up with Trump begging the Supreme Court to not force his administration to make SNAP payments? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick. The Supreme Court agreed in less than 24 hours. I am personally not affected yet, but I see a LOT of death in the near future as people start getting desperate.

Think about it for a minute: They are forgoing FREE work by humans, to PAY a machine to do it. Something doesn't add up here. Why are they willing to throw money away to make an inferior product?

Most importantly, why would anyone volunteer to help Mozilla ever again?

Truly psychopathic and sociopathic at the same time. Money has fucked up Mozilla.

n fact, it's a low enough number that failing of one AI giant, can make stocks and shares of other companies take a quick tumble, too. Market panic.

Who cares? The people that invested unwisely get wiped out and the people who didn't carry on as if nothing ever happened. Gambling is the gambler's problem, not mine.

Comment Re:The biggest mistake (Score 1) 91

we let manufacturing happen in countries that are our direct rivals, instead of friendly countries. All because we wanted cheap stuff. I don't care about cheap goods anymore, we throw too much away.

I am continuously flummoxed by people like you thinking that you or your opinion matters. The only thing that matters as far as people in your position are concerned are what the masses do as a whole. As a whole, the masses prefer cheap shit regardless of external costs because the masses are unable to put 2 and 2 together to get 4.

YOU DON"T MATTER. The only thing that matters is what can be manipulated. None of our leaders are leading. They are taking. From you. So I guess you matter a little bit.

Comment Re:Like Trump said (Score 1) 232

Republicans have guaranteed that nobody wants to vote for them ever again. Look at the most recent elections: Democrats swept almost every single race with historic levels of votes.

I am certain the Republicans will die as a party in the next few years; however, that just means that the top Democrats will be just as fully corrupt as the Republicans are now. Where do you think all of that 'campaign' money will go and with what strings attached?

Deeper change is needed.

need to see that Democrats are willing to stand up and fight rather than just rolling over for every nasty thing the Republicans are doing.

Sure, as long as you are willing to ignore all the terrible things the Democrats have supported or championed over the years. They are bought and paid for at the top.

Comment Re:Obamacare is for the middle class (Score 1) 232

The Democrat party is the big tent for literally everybody else so it's a huge mess.

The Democrats are headed by people of the same cloth that the Republicans are part of. Proof: How Bernie Sanders was treated in 2016 and how Mamdani (sp?) was treated recently. I can name half a dozen top Democrats off the top of my head who tried to kill Sanders and Mamdani's campaigns. That is NOT a party for everyone else due to its own corruption.

Yeah, I will grant that on the surface, the Democrats are a better choice than the Republicans; however, Democrats are still not a viable party.

When that didn't work, they lied, falsely claiming the Democrats want "healthcare for illegals". That is untrue, as illegal immigrants are not eligible for healthcare subsidies under the ACA.

It is not that simple, which makes your statement untrue as well.

Hospitals are mandated by law to treat anyone for emergency treatment. Some of those folks are illegals, and some percentage of those folks will not be able to pay. The government pays those bills through the same mechanism that also pays for the indigent and poor; therefore, the GOP claim is not entirely without merit... but, it is still bullshit, as the Democrats are NOT fighting for illegal aliens to be able to use medical care for free, but that is a side effect due to other laws.

I hope we use our incredible spying apparatus to hunt down every single mother fucker associated with MAGA at a high level and charge them with treason. And then, destroy that fucking apparatus that they built.

The only question is who is going to decide how it works, and how it affects their population.

The future is always unclear because emergent things happen that humans are unable to predict; however, one thing is absolutely clear, if you are not part of the ownership class, AI means poverty and death for you and your children. Human life does not matter, only money matters... and that only matters because money is almost a direct representation of power if you know how to control it. There will be billions of unnecessary deaths. Welcome to the New World.

I was just thinking about this exact idea a few days ago. Sadly, unless they allow the community to organize an Open Source project, a Linux based client can not be done with the resources that they have. If they offered the community a chance to go at it, I am sure they would find LOTS of volunteers... me being one.

The last thing I want out of a map is a "conversational experience,"

The conversation I want is:

I know, right? Most every device out there that has GPS, also has required navigation added onto it. I just want to know where I am, I can already figure out how to get to where I want to go as long as I know where I am.

Comment Re:The Boomer bubble (Score 1) 83

Your vision is poor. It will return to the Antebellum economy but now, with no obligations to the individual 'slaves'. Sure, the "economy" will be smaller, but wealthy individuals don't need much beyond what 'slaves' can provide. All of the things that are being sold to you right now are not necessary to life in a pre-industrial society. The only industrial type things they will need are weapons, and nuclear bombs are enough to prevent an invasion (in theory).
