That’s because prices don’t reflect costs, but what sellers believe we will pay. If people stopped paying them…

It’s really not that weird. Most people aren’t going to self-host… anything. A news magazine isn’t going to bother covering it, even if it is focused on tech news.

This is the WHOLE point of why these generative models have been pushed so hard the past couple of years. They tested the waters to see if people would accept “it’s the computer’s fault” as an acceptable excuse, and then slammed on the gas.

Accountability sinks, as Dan Davies has named them, are the whole point. It’s everything a slimy corporate CEO or government official has ever wanted.

Saskatchewan isn’t on DST, though… “Amazing how others have figured this out by doing the opposite of it” is not the winning argument you think it is.

I wish we’s just pick standard time. This whole “let’s let noon be at non noon” thing is bizarre.

Being subscribed to those communities (n a single website.

If people would get the fuck off Reddit and decide it was ok to have multiple websites to log into, it would be harder. Internet centralization is a personal security risk.

Americans? No, not as a rule, though I’m getting increasingly fed up with many of their “I’m one of the good ones” declarations.

The USA, though?

Pax Americana has always been a threat, and the country has always been a fascist bully. The sooner we accept that and treat them accordingly the bettet.

Maybe they’ll actually do something about it, for once.

I remember CEOs going on national TV to whine about employees working from their couch. They don’t give a shit if we’re working. They’re paying to have control over us.

Probably not so different from some of these CPC MPs.

It’s about damn time

Do… Do you think she’s seeing this comment?

BMW drivers not signaling should get their car taken away.

I like the taste of sugar. Why do you hate other people’s choice when they don’t involve you? Seems like a weird thing to put that kind of investment in, and kind of a toxic thing to say.

So, I’m in my 40s, and have never really used noise cancellation. My brain has had all of the time in the world to learn how to do this. Instead, it chooses to amplify and focus on background noise.

Having a conversation in a noisy public space is literally just me doing my best to guess what you are saying at any given time. All I hear is a loud hiss of crowd noise.

And that deal had nothing to do with making allies. It was about selling seed and grain.

The point of it all is not to avoid dealing with bullies. That is not realistic. We are not in a position to do that. It’s, rather, to ensure that we’re not just a vassal state to a single bully, to be taken for granted.

It weakens the US position if we have other large markets to sell our shit to. It weakens China’s position if we haave options beyond them. We don’t make ourselves stronger by closing doors and hoping we lock ourselves in with the best bully, but ensuring there are a large number of open ones for us to escape through when things get abusive.

Everyone’s seemingly got this fantasy of walking up to Homelander or Mr. Incredible, punching them in the face, and walking away triumphant to… something. Nobody jerks it to breaking their hand on the superpowered jaw and then getting a hole kicked through their chest, even if that’s what would happen.

He keeps making threats, and then seems pissed off that we’re acting like we believe him.

No, they’re not “not sure”, they’re just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it’s morally objectionable.

It’s a lot harder to demand your government ID on a federated platform.

No, he signalled it last year. He just went on the world stage to reiterate it to those foreign entities.
