⦠which form the basis of MacOS. A Neo with intern and bash is a very useful machine

Still is. The far majority of the core of Linux user space comes straight from there. You’re probably using it even as we speak

Profits have never been higher, and yet their offering continues to get worse. Remember when you could watch your total storage climb in real time? When was the last time you really felt like Google was innovating on their Gmail product? Enshittification continues unabated.

He a typical nerd left loonie who thinks that dissing anyone who uses or makes money makes him great for "sticking it to the man". Same sort of guy who think his users are nuts, laughs at people who do not use leet command line UIs and jacks of to ASCII Art Porn in his mother basement because he cannot interact with real humans. And only Open Source ASCII Art Porn Written by other nerds in Vi. AI is definitely not on, and if it is closed source... wel it involves money so it is not leeeeet enough.

No. However there is considerable evidence that Trump requires bribing in some manner before he will do something that other Presidents would do without a bribe because they are the right thing to do for the Country. Whether these particular contracts were only given because of the bribes is impossible to prove since they are indeed contracts that should have been given. But the opinion that they would not have been given without a bribe is a valid one, and Musk at least seems to have held that opinion. Hence the bribes.

While the second post did indeed contain publicly verifiable facts, the claim that they contradict the original claim is disputable at best. All they show is that Musk's Companies were capable of getting contracts and Government loans under Obama and Biden without the need for bribes. They do not show that Musk did not bribe Trump. In some ways this is even more damning for Trump, because the implication is that bribing Trump is necessary even if your Companies are deserving contracts. Or at the very least that Musk believed bribes to be necessary under Trump.

I personally agree with you that it didn't deserve a troll modification. It maybe deserved to be down-modded as irrelevant, although replies pointing out it's irrelevancy were sufficient as long as people weren't modding it up.

Okay, but that's not really helpful if you're looking for something comparable to a firestick but still want to sideload Android apps.

Or just don't fight it and get an NVIDIA Shield. It's a 10x better experience anyway.

The whole Cold War was about the Soviets/Russians being able to just completely change your precious country into radioactive glass with people living in the Stone Age. Ok, glass age.

“Take over” is. It the point. “Eliminate rivals” is the point. And I can ensure you the Russians have threatened, have tried and and will again. The US, believe it or not, is not a hermetically sealed block. It depends on external inputs and very definitely depends on other countries to buy your exports. And the Russians are most assuredly threaten your customers. They threatened to nuke the Chinese outright in the late 60s.

And then there is the election interference and Russian money in politics. The Russian mob bailed Trump out after he bankrupted a casino. Twice. Buying politicians is not the same as boots in the ground, no. But it most assuredly comes asymptotically close to “take over”

They also distract your attention and resources. The whole mess in the Middle East was made much much worse when the Soviets invaded Irans weak neighbor, Afghanistan, in 1979. The plan was to exploit the Iranian revolution and move their forces closer to the oil fields. Before that the US was not all that interested in the Persian Gulf. After that they had the entire 5th fleet based there. That war ultimately ended in 9/11 because the US was sort of forced to give money to the Jihadis to fight the Russians.

TypeScript has a very very advanced type system that pushes the boundaries far beyond the old-same 80s-90 Java/C++ Object stuff.

And if you forked the very public legitimate project at https://github.com/anthropics/... they also DMCA'ed you and removed that fork, Despite the fact that it is is perfectly legitimate and considered normal on Github to fork public repos like that As an act of social support and in order to help find bugs and report them.

So I don't play that type of game. Has anyone here played those, and had the gambling feeling over these loot boxes? The summary is rather damning, but I'd like the opinion of an adult gamer.

Red. Frakking. Mine?

Sitting your moms basement looking at ASCII Art Porn and whining that the boobs are not open-source, written with Vi by other nerds does not qualify you as a UI engineer. And yet... these people wrote RedMine claiming that it is good because "ITS FREE!!!". Do you know what else is free? Syphilis. I don't want that either.

Seriously, Redmine is the ultimate expression of the concept of "Hack Job by Linux Nerds who think UI Design is for La-Di-Da College Types"

Redmine sucks donkeyballs.

It gets worse. The real lesson from AI?

Your job is so mindless and dumb that you can be replaced by a stupid statistical algorithm.

Linguistic drift and all that, being still in that awkward transitional stage. One of those things where expecting everyone to just jump into some new phrasing is a mighty big ask.
