Comment Re:Gosh Really (Score 1) 133

Just to point something out. I don't think they are not smart for writing such misleading reports, they just need to put food on the table. What I mean is - the politics forces them to lie for money. It happens far more often than you think, especially in time of economical struggles and crisis. They could grow a pair, though, lose the (additional?) income (bribe?) and be truthful to themselves for once. Doing that certainly has its own merits.

Absolutely, yes, and "Beyond" products are meant for omnivores or (former omnivores?) vegetarians who still like to have a plant-based burger. I have no desire for the taste of meat in any form, but especially so processed form. I make my own burgers sometimes, when the schedule is tight, from green lentils and mixed veg. Good, healthy stuff, actually.

Comment Re:Breaking news (Score 1) 222

As a vegetarian since high school (I'm 55), I don't eat processed food and I see "beyond" as "beyond processed" food. A lot of vegans and vegetarians I know eat healthy home-made food, and don't even consider eating these heavily processed options unless being forced to. That's why it's unsuccessful imho. Who is it for? Those who can't cook and don't mind eating processed food, which is less and less popular with omnivores, too. Nothing tastes as good as home made burger, vegan, vegetarian, or omnivoreian.

"The computer will be able to see what they see, hear what they hear... so shall we! and we're gonna make loads of money selling their data. Oh my!" :P
The future is bright. It always is with MS, because... I somehow doubt it it will be that bright for them, though, since less and less people like to use their OS as they keep shooting themselves in their feet.

I love my good old, boring Debian. Thanks MS.

There are way too many people who don't know how to think critical, and are way too conformant. For such people, being a part of a "movement", a cult, is a matter of wellbeing and health, as they enjoy the attention and validation from their peers. Without it, they lose control. The 9th stage on is all about fear, actually. Fear of losing all that.

Comment Re:Portable hardware (Score 1) 43

Yes, modern hardware is becoming smaller, power efficient, and very capable. Have you heard of new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs? With Radeon 8060S graphics? Look it up: GMKtec AI Max+ 395 mini PC. These things are such great SOCs for gaming and very power efficient. For now they are only available with new laptops, but AMD will release a desktop version of them later this year. I can't wait. Also interesting is Nvidia N1X ARM chip. ARM gaming might take off next year with AMD, Intel and Nvidia all having some sort of nice, powerful and efficient ARM CPUs in development that can be used for running games and AI LLMs quite well.

Comment Always Remember... (Score 1) 53

Always remember that when you choose anything else but an Open Source app, you will find yourself bent and penetrated from behind sooner or later.

Especially in times of crisis, when people's standards of living are decreasing and they panic "profit, profit! we need more profit!" they're gonna do whatever it takes to make more profit and keep the standard of living the same.

Comment Hollyshit (Score -1, Troll) 22

Those nutwits at Hollywood didn't take thousands of people who work their behinds off to make their bs go to screen, obviously. Those in the US were handsomely paid, but the outsourced ones were not. Now talk to me about DEI being so great for everybody.
