Can’t recall the vendor, but I saw at least one that tried a rent-a-PC things aimed at gamers. But the price was egregious, and I wanna say they didn’t even ship the hardware they advertised.

Anyway, point was it’s already being tested in the wild…

Uh, no. Maybe check the definition of a word before you accuse people of using it wrong?

Besides, there is literally no benefit to this kind of approach. The most popular use of a word is the definition of the word, not the other way around. And yes, this means it will change over time. So even if motor didn’t literally refer to a certain type of engine, the definition of the word motorcycle is not dependent on the definition of the word motor. Even if there was a contradiction between the definition of the two words that’s literally irrelevant. There’s no point getting all annoyed about it, that’s just how language works. But you will not help anything by trying to force people to change how they’re using a word. It’ll just cause confusion and make communication even less clear.

Heh. Don’t make the mistake of conflating stability with prosperity. For a long time we thought things were going well too…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guarantee you this is already a global problem. I’m deeply ashamed to see the country I grew up in spearheading it, but it’s been fermenting worldwide for a long time, I’m afraid.

However, that said, I wish you and everyone on that side of the world the best! Fuck do I hope I’m wrong, too. But either way, the only path towards human society healing from any of this is if us common folk find some solidarity.

Eh, the Democrat party leadership does not. I’ve heard plenty of Democrat voters say arrest em all, sure. But those are not the party, they are the dupes supporting it.

It’s pretty blatantly obvious the Democratic party is controlled opposition. I mean, it was pretty much fucking confirmed when they tried to say they only take money from “good” billionaires…

And let’s not forget the asinine claim about music composition. Yeah, this is a bullshit fluff piece to keep attention on AI.

Yes, but actually no.

The bill of rights, i.e. first set of ammendments, are supposed to guarantee it. The framing of the original document did not include anything about our rights. Like - nothing at all what so fucking ever. Which kinda explains why those rights have been trampled all over by our own government so many times - they were an afterthought to market the main document to the masses.

Well, those fuckers captured the US government decades ago. Pretty much why the actual effect of actions taken by either party play out almost the same fucking way…

The role immigrants play is involuntary, so blaming them is asinine. But they do fit in the equation. An average American has little to no financial security (by design), leaving many in a constant state of desperation. If anything, immigrants are even more desperate to make a living away from whatever situation they were trying to get away from, thus willing to accept even lower pay. But on top of that, many are manipulated into a situation where they are trapped in an “illegal” status and forced to accept sub-minimum wages or get deported.

Make no mistake, the vast majority of immigrants arrive here legally, but are then victimized by our capitalist class. And in the end, they get blamed for the situation. Fuck that.

The class divide all over the world needs to be destroyed. But that will require solidarity amongst the worldwide working class who have been brainwashed into a completely illogical fear of their peers, just because of an imaginary line drawn by sociopathic fuckwit pedophiles, who do not, and never have, deserved anything even resembling respect.

Who cares where he was born? Oh, sorry does that mean he’s not white enough???

…a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It’s debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature…

That’s called bloat.

Nuclear testing?

That’s it? That’s why you’re being such an arrogant prick?

Huh. You do you, I guess…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Facebook specifically was aware that teenage girls were especially harmed by their algorithms, so naturally, instead of reducing that harm, they leaned into it.

You do have a point; anything they tried to put forth as an argument might very well get the lawyers involved censured, perhaps even disbarred.

Right?! Until there is substantial, and meaningful, reform, we’re still screwed.

An option they have been exercising a lot recently. Only to often get the case dismissed right away once they do manage to indict.

Sounds a lot like taking the role of Dungeon Master in a D&D game. Your goal is to provide a believable world and NOCs as a backdrop for your players to tell the stories of their characters adventures. For me, it was like having a whole fantasy world running in the back of my mind, and I’d often surprise myself with how that works would react to the heroes.

Lol

A Republican will tell you they’re going to lower your taxes, then raise them; that they’re going to reduce government size to save you money, but it’s actually to make corruption easier and cost you more.

We could go on. We have no heroes in government, but fuck’s sake, man, one party are openly fascist.

But whatever. Go play on Truth* Social.
