It's really funny that you would consider separating misinformation from truth would be considered something negative.
It's really stupid that you think that's what I said.
It's also really stupid that you think going to the mainstream news will separate you from misinformation.
There were ample warnings and nobody that did any real research would have ever used that sub unless they were suicidal.
The best thing that came out of it besides nano-chum was conclusive proof that billionaires aren't any smarter than the rest of us.
What support? [...] Linux people are chronically dishonest and dismissive about problems.
You're being dishonest and dismissive about the existence of paid support options for Linux. You know what it's called when you do the very thing you complain about, right?
With Linux you have to do a wipe with every system upgrade. Windows updates usually work.
This is the exact opposite of my experience. Most of my Linux upgrades have completed successfully, while most of my Windows upgrades have failed. They either failed and self-reverted (taking hours to do so) or they acted like they succeeded and then the system didn't work right, and maybe didn't even boot. Most IT departments never, ever do an OS upgrade in place; they do a fresh install, make an image, and deploy it.
Windows persists because it is "good enough."
Windows persists despite being shit all day because it has operational inertia, and for no other reason.
Does the Chinese government do anything to these people?
Provide them training and logistics support, I'd guess. Oh wait, you said to, not for.
Came to say something like this. Perhaps they should have done this study BEFORE claiming they were going to AI all the things.
I'm not entirely sure why but they sell their mid-ranged card for $250 letting scalpers buy it up and sell it for $400.
Intel is failing at GPUs like most of us knew they would. They simply are not competent at... well, frankly anything anymore. Their performance advantage was based on willfully compromising security in ways that they were warned were harmful before they did them, but they deliberately chose to do them anyway; and on superior process technology, and their process technology is no longer superior and hasn't been for a whole bunch of years now; and of course, on anticompetitive actions which have been proven out in court time and again. AMD would have outcompeted Intel a long time ago if not for those deliberately illegal acts alone, let alone all the other bullshit.
Intel is circling the bowl. They're big enough that it might take multiple flushes to make them go down, but they're still a turd.
The problem is that, while it's possible to get better news
[citation needed]
You don't even know who he's getting the news from, but you're sure it's not the highest quality. You don't even know what you're attacking to defend your world view, but you're happy to attack it anyway. That's deeply insecure behavior.
there is no way to know it without considering many other sources anyway
If you reliably get good news from a specific source, then you can reasonably trust that source, until such a time as they show themselves to be untrustworthy. This isn't as complicated as you want it to be in your defense of the mainstream news which we can see lies to us constantly.
The funny thing is thinking social media is better when often times it is far, far worse.
The funny thing is thinking that the person you're talking to blindly accepts anything they see on social media because you decided that's what they're doing in order to support your argument in the absence of any evidence or facts.
The well-known independent journalists who were providing actual news on Twitter are now providing actual news on Bluesky. They are far more reliable and useful than the major news outlets in the USA, who don't cover stories of actual import and give a corporate spin that defends the actions of oppressors.
We're basically trading traditional media which at least has some sort of oversite
Over"site"? That's your problem, you trust news because it is on a site with a three letter TLD, which is fucking stupid. There is no meaningful oversight of mass media, and there never was. Even when we had the "fairness doctrine" it was easily evaded by simply not covering some stories, or having an idiot present the counterargument. The nation's largest news outlet spews lies continually, without pause or remorse. And here you are, simping for that mainstream, in an effort to borrow legitimacy.
It's not clear whether people do trust Fox that much.
We know they do, because they frequently repeat things they heard there as if they were fact. Perhaps they confuse that chemical response with truthiness.
You may have missed the point. It's not that this archaeum is becoming turning into a virus and some single celled organism needs to hide its wife, hide its daughter. The point is that viruses can come from parasitic archaea as they abandon unnecessary organelles! If this process takes another million years, this discovery will be no less newsworthy.
There are plenty of tech companies in Japan that pay similar wages to the US and Europe. Mostly the ones that try to attract foreign talent.
Other reasons for wanting to live there are the quality of life, the food, the beautiful country, family, and low crime rates. It does get extremely hot in the summer in some parts, and very cold in the winter.
For permanent residence you simply have to be there on a work visa for 10 years, or you can get it in as little as 3 years if your job qualifies you due to in-demand skills. Even English teachers are entitled to it after 10 hears of continuous residence though.
When has it ever been different? People have always read different newspapers, listened to different radio stations, watched different TV channels.
I remember very clearly how reporting on basically every major source I could find about the Great Touhoku Earthquake and nuclear meltdowns in Japan seemingly had very little basis in reality, compared to what I was experiencing on the ground at the time. There never was a golden age of accurate reporting, it's always been this bad.
What has changed is now people knowingly just fabricate what they want to believe, and it is treated as disrespectful if the truth gets in the way of their fantasy.
Every policy they put forward had been extensively focus group tested and polled. They didn't use it as an opportunity to put forward to socialist policies, they took every precaution to make sure they won as big as possible.
Imagine thinking you've insulated yourself from "corporate media" by following fark.com links.
Imagine thinking that added anything constructive to the conversation.
Focus on the argument, not the man.
