Comment Magic Leap now pivots to make waveguides only (Score -1) 52

Looks to me like they are about to lay off a shitton of their software folks and focus only on making waveguides (the little projector screens that enable AR). I really don't want to like AR and I'm glad it's taking forever because all the headgear of yore has been goofy and stupid looking AF. However, if they get the waveguides really advanced, small, and cheap: this changes things. The compute part is already small enough. This means that likely soon these devices will, in fact, gain social acceptance and of course, the kids already found a "use" for them, right here. I think the other "uses"/applications will continue to shock folks.

Can't someone make me an AR prosecuting for Gold app that works? I promise then I'll stop complaining.

Partisans, lol. OpenSecrets says from January 2023 to March 2024 that Dems used $15M and GOP was $23M in official travel. In 2025 (early data): Republicans @$1.76M vs. Democrats @$986k; 353 trips vs. 234.

So, you're correct! (Yay!, have a cookie!) However, unfortunately, nothing has changed and you're still an idiot partisan fantasist if you think any of this proves that left wing Communists are "better" than right wing Fascists. The Uniparty really appreciates your efforts. "You guys took 353 trips! We only took 234! We're green and you're not NA NA NA NA NA!"

Politicians are scum. Governments are murder factories. Fewer is better.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths.

They become what they attempt to prevent/regulate or get captured. The FDA seems to think it's main job is to protect Big Pharma. The FCC thinks it's there to prevent you from running a free wifi mesh (can't have that: gotta protect the children and stop the terrorists, ya know). The SEC, the FAA, the EEOC, etc.. they all do the opposite of their actual job. All the big agencies either get captured and turned into apparatchiks for corrupt corporations and/or their "regulation" does way more harm than good to the people they were supposed to protect.

The government is bad at pretty much everything it does. It's also a corrupt murder factory that likes to kill folks for a myriad of reasons. That's why it's better if we keep it small: so it gets fewer opportunities to cause problems.

Comment The EU is a SAFETY CULT && Rapist Migrant (Score -1, Troll) 39

It's a safety cult. That's a costly choice. I'm sure they can build their own Internet and invent all the things they've been failing to invent since the 1980's, ban the evil US trumper-technology (Trump writes all our software, now), and convert to pure red-armband EU FOSS .... any day now! In the meantime, less than 1% of EU employees actually have a 4-day work week and you can enjoy being raped by a migrant on public transport or have your head cut off in the street while paying sky-high taxes to wasteful authoritarian beurocrats instead. BONUS! Yay! Regulate me harder, daddy! So glad you banned America!

Comment WAAAAH, No! Texas cannot be winning! WAAAAA! (Score -1) 41

California is in a steep decline with severe budget problems and a panoply of other self-inflicted issues. Texas isn't aggressively stealing businesses from Cali. They are migrating there ("freedom" remember?) of their own free will because capital goes where it's best treated and that's not California. As more of the businesses and wealthy abandon the West Coast, the bigger the problems will get and the more the political idiocy of California will be highlighted. If you hate this story and want to cry yourself to sleep tonight, get ready for even bigger disappointments to come. Appears you're dead wrong about "women", too. They'll go where they can earn a living and avoid being taxed into poverty by the kleptocrats at every level of government in California, just like anyone else.

Looks like amateur hour in software is slowly coming to a close. Good.

Since all communist idiots like you love Rust, while you're gloating over the corpse of Ruby, would you like to comment on the Typosquatting malware in Rust's cargo crates? Looks like the exact same thing, to me along with Rust's problems with maintainer account compromises, dependency graphs exploding (popular crates pulling in dozens/hundreds of transitive deps), and their encouragement of micro-packages rather than stdlibs, which now looks pretty stupid.

Looks like more vindication for C programmers who tend to eschew any supply chain micropackages and haven't any supply chain centralization ala flavor-of-the-day "cloud" languages. What do the Comrade Programmers of your glorious Communist revolution in stupid-fucking-useless-time-wasting-language-wars use to combat this, Tavarish ?

Is this how both of you justify being an anti-white racist ? Just throw as much ad-hominem and unrelated shit (like "FOX New" BS and Targon's LGBT rant) in as you can to avoid having to confront your own lack of tolerance and pure racism? How's that working out for you?

In truth and practice "woke" means "willing and enthusiastic about censorship and promotes anti-white racism". It's disgusting that anyone advocates for that shit. However, one of the fucking woke retards here modded you a troll simply for mentioning "woke" in a negative light. Why? It's 100% negative! Feel free to waste your mod points doing it to me, too. I keep my karma shit just for you guys to break your teeth on. Mod away, fuckfaces, just know I'll bust a chuckle for your wasted effort later.

There are plenty of folks who seem to just be above the enforcement of law simply by being useful and familiar to a large number of people. For example, there is little doubt that vehicle and power plant emissions do harm some folks materially. However, they can't sue (despite having clear standing) because people find having power and mobility too useful. The thing that seems unfair is that it's a mostly winner-take-all scenario. Despite the fact that we need electricity and ICE engines, we also would like folks not to have to deal with the secondary effects of pollution and it seems ill-advised to protect any entity from the law while penalizing others for the same thing.
