Comment Re: Democratic donor money is used for MAGA candid (Score 3, Interesting) 215

You need to work on your reading comprehension and learn how to think critically. What that article discusses is a tactic known as ratfucking. And it also says it worked because the MAGA loonies they supported in primaries (because theyâ(TM)d be easier candidates to win against in the general election) won their primaries and lost or were losing the general election.

From the article:

âoeThe strategy seems to have paid off: In high-profile races where Democratic candidates or groups successfully used the strategy during the primaries, all of the Republicans they helped have either lost or are trailing, two days after Election Day.â

So, no, Democrats arenâ(TM)t helping MAGA retards win. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Apple had a culture of authenticity. Culture dies pretty hard in most cases. I think we will see the last of that culture dissipate, as it eroded so greatly under Cook and Ive. Then the extractive, enshittifying corruption will spread from Apple, too.

There really was something, that began with Jobs and Woz. It wasn't perfect, and Jobs had a way of twisting ethical stances in ends-justifying-means sophistry. But Steve Jobs would never have prostrated before Trump, proffering a solid gold token.

Oh, you want profit? This is a surveillance spyware wrapper around the entire MacOS user experience - so if you thought Microsoft's Copilot Recall was invasive monitoring, you haven't seen anything yet.

If Apple won't monetize a user panopticon and partner with governments to do it, OpenAI will be right there, to take the cash.

...the desktop apps are better than just about anything you will find on Linux or the BSDs.

I will argue against strict adherence to this statement. Gnome applications written to the project guidelines have become very fine, since the introduction of GTK-4 and libadwaita. I prefer many of these to their equivalents on MacOS.

It's true that most of these fall into a general category of "utilities", and that Windows enjoys a broader ecosystem driven by commercial incentive. But Windows programs are hardly "better' for this, and the widely varied usability is generally sub-par compared to level that's become norm for Gnome/Adwaita software.

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

bikes are viewed as a menace because so many cyclists are shitheads and blow through red lights and stop signs, ride on sidewalks endangering pedestrians, and change lanes without signalling (how many even know their hand signals? not even 1 in 10 actually signals while cars almost always do except BMW I have seen no evidence that the OEM signals work on those cars)

Geeze, can we have just one frigging thread without the Trump haters?

I imagine so. Itâ(TM)ll probably take place around the same time we get one frigging thread without Trump sycophants.

Comment Atari (Score 2) 92

I never had a C64 but I still have my original Atari 1200XL, the cassette drive, an external 5.25â floppy drive, and a 32â CRT to plug it into. I even have my original BASIC cartridge and a copy of âoeMapping the Atariâ that Iâ(TM)ve been meaning to show off to my kids (now adults) for 30-ish years. I need to see if I can find original cartridges for JumpMan Jr and other games and original (still readable) diskettes of old Infocom games & one chess derivative game I used to play called Archon. That would be fun.
