This is true. The "legitimate concerns" are legitimate, e.g. availability of housing, but they are targeting the wrong people. It's the billionaire fucks who told them to commit brexicide that are causing the problems, not immigrants.

The worst part is that even after it was revealed that Farage got 5 million quid for delivering Brexit, these muppets don't seem to have realized that it's just more evidence he isn't working in their interests. He's working for the billionaires who have made him fabulously wealthy, and they aren't paying him because it's good for the plebs they have been exploiting all these years.

Macs are competitive for the base spec and if you don't care about upgrades, and if you are fine running MacOS or one Linux distro.

Thinkpads are usually a better option, especially when you want a decent amount of RAM. Large choice of operating systems, at least the SSD and radios can usually be upgraded, and Lenovo support in terms of maintenance manuals and user replaceable spare parts is second to none. You also have more configuration options, e.g. mine has an OLED screen and it's amazing. Better keyboards too.

Because it makes your screen all dirty and gives you gorilla arms.

Yes Americans are completely afraid of any exercise even if that is lifting their arm (the notable exception being if said arm is holding a Twinkie). That is the main concern here. My body is going to morph into a different animal simply because I occasionally lift my arm.

I think the real concern here is that no one is doing any chest work, and it just looks ridiculous when a muscly man displays dominance in front of a potential mate by beating his flabby manboobs.

He bought Twitter with (mostly) other people's money. Including big piles of Saudi royal money and Qatar's sovereign fund. And of course, Andreesen Horrorwitz.

Indeed, welcome to my point. His paper wealth is precisely what gives him access to other people's money. Do *you* think you could convince the Saudi royals to loan you a few billion?

Musk has risked almost every penny he has on multiple occasions.

The rich only pretend to risk every penny in the eyes of the poor. In reality they have ample opportunities to bail themselves out. (e.g. note how he doesn't own Twitter anymore, despite never having $44bn to pay for it in the first place and it tanking double digit billions in value).

The only reason he has these companies is because of socialism. He has received billions in taxpayer money to keep his companies alive.

You say this as if it is a bad thing instead of what it actually is: A very normal way for government to enact policy. There's virtually no industry in any nation that wasn't built on the back of some of this "socialism".

Does your software engage a robotic arm to reach out and touch the buttons for you?

There's many reasons why you want to automate the control of display brightness. Enough reasons that windows even has an API for it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...

Which ultimately also makes you wonder what the fuck copilot was doing probing UEFI with python scripts.

but the fact the first answer is not "Well, find the brightness buttons and press them" is telling.

Until we install USB robotic arms into our laptop, AI software isn't pressing any buttons. It seems quite dumb for software to suggest that as a response to an request for automation. Presumably if you're using AI for anything you're not trying to manually do shit like your granddaddy did.
