they were able to pass the physical.

Oh, come on, stop harping on Joe Biden's frailty — he's been out of office for over a year now!

But you don't read the generated binaries, do you? Not even the assembly text...

"The only question in my mind is if Kamala would have started dropping the bombs sooner or later."
Sure it is. Maybe Trump will improve your talking points later.

"Kamala was all "Yea! War!" so maybe she'd have not done it?"
Citations please.

"One is to start/continue wars behind an orange retard. The other is to start/continue wars behind some brown bitch-retard."
Sure, both sides. Super original. Which "retard" worships Putin? I mean, besides you.

"Kinda finding it hard to see any real difference"
Sounds like a you problem. And how did Kamala Harris become part of the conversation? We all know, of course.

"Do you want those announcements from some dumb bitch you would not let operate a can-opener by herself or some angry ancient orangutan-looking asshole who you'd bet against putting his pants on by himself?"
Not being a raging misogynist like you are, the choice is clear. I prefer not to have a 34-time felon, rapist and child molester threatening genocide of nearly 100M people as my President, we know what you prefer.

"Great choices, partisans. Lovely situation you've both-sides'd us into."
Wait, who's doing the both-sidesing? You have us mistaken for those "retards" you are so familiar with.

"...while maintaining the existing overall parity between the bad guys and the worse guys."

In reality, probably yes. But it is conceivable that a "last vulnerability" could be closed and "overall parity" would be broken permanently. The problem is that the bad guys continue to add new vulnerabilities for the worse guys to use, and that will likely accelerate with the proliferation of these very tools.

That is a remarkable take, and not in a good way. Not defending AI, just appalled by the disrespect for finding and fixing vulnerabilities. Finding vulnerabilities is a core part of closing them, it doesn't only matter when an attacker does it.

A lie is bad information provided intentionally. AI does not have intent.

As someone who's been using Samsung phones for about 15 years, I had no idea there was a thing called "Samsung Messages". I tend to tune out all the shovelware that phones come with (and take steps to remove or disable them).

I really like Samsung phones, but their software ecosystem is abysmal. Everything they provide is inferior to other options.

Even though I've pretty consistently used Samsung phones for like 15 years now, I always switched the default messaging app to Google's. Phone companies don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Half the world runs on VBA for Office applications (or used to, it's probably less now), and VBA for Office has never been officially supported by Microsoft. You're on your own if you choose to use it.

Silicon Valley.

What's interesting is that this article leads with "Peter Thiel". Why? It's just standard VC stuff.

Realistically, approximately none of the 486 code has had more than some automated testing in a virtual environment in a long time. We should assume it is bitrotted and only suitable for use on toys where subtle bugs in cache or memory management that leaked in from newer generations won't kill anyone. The time to fork the entire 486 arch and have a trustworthy result passed long ago.

It's the same situation as when Reiser3 was removed. Anyone who was using it in a new kernel could tell that performance was broken and should have been scared about the actual correctness and data integrity.

"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."
Linux literally is "repeating the past". Its very name is derived from the designs it copies.

"No year will ever be the year of linux on the desktop with this stupid attitude of throwing working code away."
LOL no, that's not it.

"And we are just letting it happen because why the fuck not?"

Who is "we"? You? Are you letting it happen?

"...our love of moral panics and knee-jerk reactions."

I've been wondering for many years before the first traffic camera appeared, why the toll-roads aren't enforcing the speed limits automatically. The time you enter and exit the highway is recorded down to a second. The distance between these two points is known — your average speed could be computed on the spot even with the early 90-ies technology...

The polite police officers would be standing right behind the toll-booths issuing tickets without the drama of hiding in the bushes, then chasing you at highway speeds...

And, yeah, you could lower it by stopping at a rest area — but it'd still be a tremendous disincentive to speed.

I was and continue to hope, that such universal enforcement, affecting all voters, would cause the limits to go up to reasonable figures — or even be abolished completely...

I've run into these people, they're the worst
