Did you forget how to read halfway through my comment?

TIL.

Suicide at age 52. Shame. :(

...Modern ejector seats cause spinal injuries from which full recovery is "unusual". Smashing the spines of pilots might not be the most effective way to boost morale.

$22,000 per hour. The F35 will be nearer $42,000 per hour. These are under-estimates, as they do not include price hikes, crashes that close businesses, crashing into businesses, crashing into heavily-populated sports centres, etc.

Wow, a whole game engine?

A lot more than that uses C#, but C# didn't take over, which of course is what Microsoft wanted. But it was never going to happen for many many reasons. That's why Microsoft has to use the EEE strategy, which at least is somewhat successful for them. Their ability to use it is waning as they become less relevant, but they remain hugely influential due to their massive installed base so they can still fuck things up pretty good and will likely be able to for decades yet.

Their attempt to do that was called C#. It failed. Not everything someone tries succeeds. For example, you tried to be smart there, whoops!

Now do the USA

You just called bullshit on sometime I didn't say, clown. I never said all this were the fault of one party but YOU made it into that because YOU are hyper partisan. Get fucked with your hypocrisy.

You're ranting a lot about a "failure" and "broken" product that none the less makes the entire world go round. You know what doesn't make the world go round? S/MIME. No one cares. The concept of secure email died in the early 2000s. No need to try to shoehorn security into something that has been universally agreed we'll accept as an insecure medium. Why would anyone support it other than to appeal to a handful of Slashdotters with no business acumen and no idea how the wider world works?

And yet they have collaborative features there are unsurpassed by any other software and hence are adopted globally. For something that is the "worst" it very much seems to me that the entire world's economy uses it just fine. It's like politics isn't it. Everything is "the worst" but it does the job.

Professionals don't use Linux. Nerds and coders use Linux. Professionals the world over use Windows, software written for professionals is exclusive to Windows. You are typing this on your Linux machine thanks to professionals who designed your device using Windows.

Stop the fucking presses! Now there's a statement I agree with.

Because the world doesn't care about your opinion, it only cares about it's own aggregate opinion, and Microsoft's own balance sheet shows the world disagrees with you, even if you'll find individuals who do agree (I'm sure one of them will have mod points and mod me down shortly)

But if the pier gets old does it turn into rust?

100% bullshit.
This is indeed the world in 2026, but that has not always been the world. It doesn't HAVE to be like this.

It used to be two people could sit down and talk about almost anything without it turning into politics.
Not everything is the fault of the libtards.
Not everything is the fault of the MAGA legions.

Your (and frankly, all of social media's) obsession with slavishly consuming the bullshit binary is unhealthy.

Of course subjects CAN have political relevance, but they don't have to. We can talk about local students struggling to pass basic performance benchmarks. My "blaming the fucking teachers' unions and their DEI woke agena" is no more productive than you saying "it's the fucking Great Orange Satan". Both are ways to AVOID substantive change by scaling the argument beyond what either of us can meaningfully change; they're both excuses for accomplishing nothing but getting a righteous frisson of rage and maybe a little extra hate.

Well too bad you're going to get a regular old Nazi from planet Earth.

Apparently his family has actual ties to Nazis from his original country too. Can't say I'm surprised but here we are

They are talking about imaginary Doomsday scenarios to distract from actual major problems coming down the pike.

There's the obvious massive amounts of water and electricity being used at a time when we keep disrupting energy markets for stupid reasons and we're in a constant state of drought for well understood and equally stupid reasons.

But the big problem is AI is a massive automation push. In a world where if you don't work you don't eat we are doing everything we can to eliminate work.

Eventually it's going to erode the tax base and the spending base. There won't be enough money in the economy to sustain it. And it will start to collapse.

And remember no matter how good a shot you you're going to run out of ammo before the world runs out of desperate people with nothing to lose.

There was literally nothing even slightly off topic about the GP comment.
