I wish I could say I'm surprised.
However, this has been a consistent pattern that goes back to the 1930s and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow if you corected that to the 1830s. Companies know that you make the most money by selling to both sides.
All I ever hear is bitching and moaning after Ukraine blew up the Nordstream pipeline about how energy availability is out of control and causing German companies to close or relocate to America.
But now that we get the real story: the green push has worked well. Germany is on the other side now and permanently off Russian gas. Not another eurodollar for them.
Ukraine is kicking their butts and refuses to give up a single hectare of land no matter how much Trump and Putin gang up on Zelensky the hero and try to force him to surrender.
This will be great for Haiku, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD installs, there's not the remotest possibility there'll be binaries for these. Not because the software couldn't be ported, but because the sorts of people politicians hire to write software would never be able to figure out the installer.
And all Epic/Unreal products should be free, or a few pennies, a nickel at most.
It's only fair.
I'll be surprised if I find out EOs have any authority outside the executive branch of the federal government. Otherwise a presnit could just unilaterally ban abortion, change federal, state, and locals laws and tax rates, disband Congress...
I think that AI, as deployed is harmful to society.
So join ANTIFAI - anti-f*-ai.
Though it might get you labeled as a ter'ist. Especially if you don't buy the products they're pushing.
Slashdot is a US site. You have freedom of speech here. You can say Trump is a piece of shit.
It's the same in Europe. You can go online and say Trump is a piece of shit, too!
I thought the US was under a tourism boycott already. Remember those German prostitutes who got deported from Hawaii to Japan?
America is closed. Don't come. Tourism economies suck. You don't tip, either, which is why you get spit in your food and poor service.
Tell all your friends America is closed, too. Stay home. We built a Disneyland in Paris for this exact reason.
I still can't get ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to write a decent story or do an engineering design beyond basic complexity. They're all improving, but they're best thought of as brain-storming aids rather than actual development tools.
where the sun don't shine.
The Linux Foundation has always been kind of useless, but they're really outdoing themselves this time.
More like old vs new terribleness.
These beggars are selling a product, though they do not know it.
That product is the approval of your own conscience. Are you the kind of person who can look at someone in need and ignore them?
It's also ingroup solidarity,you can leave comments with others who also gave money.
It's worthwhile to note that socialists despise charity. Government should do everything. That's why they got angry when MrBeast dug all those water wells in Africa. He made the governments look bad.
And never forget that socialism is for workers. It's a workers' paradise. It's not 'free money for lazy people who don't work," no matter how often Trump says that.
What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?
*scenario*
"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."
"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."
He keeps differentiating, flying off on a tangent.
