Nvidia made money, but I’ve not seen OpenAI do anything useful, and they are not even profitable.

I think you underestimate them. And if they do, who will you complain to anyway?

It worked for his pal, Putin…

I don’t think they need a constitutional amendment, just Scotus ruling that it only applies to consecutive terms, for example.

I fear that the next election will be more ceremony than democracy once they have finished rigging it. At this point, I expect a third term for Trump - if he lives that long.

There’s a great German TV show from a few years back about a crime scene cleaner “Tatortreiniger”. It’s more philosophical/funny than gruesome and worth a watch if you don’t mind reading sub-titles. The BBC did an adaptation in English, but I’ve not watched it yet.

I did a job developing a multimedia CD that trained doctors. Well, it was more of a marketing tool. For oncology… of the face and genitals. It was easily the most harrowing experience of my career. So many genitalia and tongues with hideous growths and what have you. The people who agreed to be photographed were both brave and very, very unwell.

I was on the tech team, sonI got off quite lightly. The two graphics people spent day after day aligning and processing these photos so that everything was clearly visible. I don’t know how they slept at night.

I left after a year. I don’t think anyone managed longer than that.

Just look at the graph of Asia 1959. That is the Great Chinese Famine - the cause of which lies very much with the CCP.

I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

I worked with a guy who thought like this back in the 90s . He stank of Death.

I can’t even manage one whole mug of jot chocolate before I start feeling physically sick. There’s just way too much milk.

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

Yeah, that’s the broken window fallacy.

That’s all well and good, but many of these Windows machines were headless or used by extremely non-technical people - think tills at your supermarket or airport check-in desks. Worse, some of these installations were running in the cloud, so console access would have been tricky.

Income from capital can be, and is, taxed differently. In the U.K. there is Capital Gains Tax, for example. Why not adjust this instead of income tax?

I use Tumbleweed btw.

Fuck me, I hope you don’t just render whatever HTML the user gave you!

Speaking as a Gen X with a guitar… it was all about synthpop, rave and industrial. Who needed guitars in the 80s/90s anyway?

/s

I’m not sure it’s that simple - maybe they are playing their Gen X parents’ guitars?

At this point, Sweden’s Grippen would be more useful.
