I know it flies in the face of this subs reason to exist but these people will still vote for him.

Despite their whinging when an election comes around they will be reminded about what ever wedge issue got them out last time and go vote Republican.

These people are entirely capable of being shocked Pikachu and voting for that at the same time.

I don’t know, sounds like someone who uses the wrong bathroom to me

The average person doesn’t even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you’re can still torrent on your phone but I’ve not tried it.

So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.

The hacker community it’s very focused on Linux since most servers in the world run it. The fly by night script kiddies and botnet creators definitely prefer end user systems though.

The disagree is for soft walking things. They give you the choice so people feel like they have one and don’t complain, then in the future they will continue to ask everything anything changes and if you accidentally agree they will never ask you again.

Sure but it is sorta a treating the symptom and not the disease. Blackrock is right to sue them as a shareholder but companies should not be involved in people’s health care to begin with.

As much as people harp on blackrock and vanguard they hold a ton of people’s retirement funds.

This is a vicious thing to do of course but they are protecting a lot of people’s nest egg.

It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won’t be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it’s likely impossible.

Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won’t because they are already a velban good.

This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.

Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.

Consumer cards are often actually bigger than the datacenter counterparts.

Most CPUs and GPUs in a rack just have low profile heat sinks and depend on the chassis to move the air. Since a datacenter doesn’t care about noise the chassis will just have a shot load of fans running full tilt over the fanless components.

Though when you get up to the large ML cards from AMD for example they have like Kleenex box sized heatsinks on them.

I mean they were built to make money, the fact that you can send them a national security letter is just a happy accident that keeps the NSA from having to run more datacenters.

That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

I mean it can.

You’ll just have to go and download your data again from the public disclosure (assuming they disclose all of it)

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…

No way, these importers are doing it for the good of the country. They are helping make America great again.

The Internet has always been like that even before the AI stuff got up to stream. If you expose anything to the public Internet it takes about 5s for things to start port scanning if they can it try WordPress/Drupal exploits.

Did you not pay your protection money to CloudFlare?
