Your use of the word "most" did not go unnoticed, and I am fully aware that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data." With that said, I have met plenty of people just like me in my career. I do not believe that "most" people running Windows shops" are "stupid and incapable." Some certainly are, but I've met plenty of dumb *IX people, too, especially back in the 90s.

I've met my share of assholes, too. Just saying.

Come the fuck on.

In my career, I have worked (professionally) with Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, OS/2, SCO ODT/OSR, a bunch of shit I can't remember, and every Microsoft server platform since NT4. My current environment is 98% Microsoft. That doesn't make me stupid and incapable, that's just where my career took me.

Is... English not your first language? I ask because you appear to be way overthinking this.

The metaphor was perfectly clear to me when I read it.

Yeah, puzzling.

There can be reasons - just barely - to have a major retailer's app, like Walmart or Target or whatever.

But a clothing store?

Okay, so it's a "high fashion" clothing store for pouty androgynous people?

Sucks to be hacked, but ... okay.

(Then again, maybe there is a significant /. overlap these days, lol.)

... plenty of research showing that the constant clock changing is damaging to human health.

Just pick one and stick to it.

... "tools found to have been used to do stuff."

The people using the tools should indeed be held accountable.

Err... definitely not "regional slang." Literally the dictionary definition of the word "hatch" i.e. "to emerge from an egg."

If you look into the actual issue not what cnn is falsly reporting you would know what actually happened; if anything that you think that Trump did not follow the court order shows those channels poor standards.
The district judged only mandated physical access to the White house buildings, not specific travel or pool rotation slots.
CNN has access to the white House, they are currently removed from the flying on Air Force One, and removed from the TV pool rotations.

So, welcome to (checks notes) 1967, I guess?

I'm Pro-nuclear power, but I do have to agree that "containment leak" is definitely a very understated way of saying "you can see the pretty blue light from kilometers away."

Correction, no, you're right, I did assert some problems are imaginary. Only the truly mentally ill could look down, see a penis or a vagina and wonder "what the fuck am i?"

Yeah, THAT'S an imaginary problem of the dumbest order.

So you don't really have any refutation other than "I'm sad".

I didn't say people whine about imaginary problems. Their problems are absolutely real.
YOU'RE the one endorsing catastrophism. The problems they're facing - we don't have enough money, we work too hard, etc, etc - are NOT unusual, are NOT new, & never before (afaik) in human history caused this sort of a wave of infantilism "well fine then I guess I just can't have kids! mwhaa!"

It's taken a lot, but the leftists have managed to convince an entire generation that they're exceptionally incapable and unable to save themselves, just so you can offer Caesarism and the Great Nanny State to take care of them. Brilliant, I have to say. Fucking sadistic, but hey, it wins you power so I guess you win?

I don't believe today's models are AGI, but "not understanding cost" is a dangerous assumption to make. If you read the METR analysis of the Hugging Face attack, the agents used were very much aware of their own compute budgets and worked to maximize what the swarm had available to achieve the task.

Yeah, Schumer of all people whining about the surveillance state is absurd. Voted for the PATRIOT Act in 2001. Railed against Snowden a decade later. But, sure, Chuck, we totally believe you're on the side of the American People here, rather than simply being smart enough to realize that supporting Flock is a fast track to being voted out of office in the current climate (and a bipartisan one at that).
