Or teaching parents how to parent properly, or cracking down on addictive social media algorithms, or researching the ill affects of pornography, or providing counseling to teens and adults harmed by dangerous materials.

If it wasn’t for the PATRIOT Act I would’ve said the USPS should’ve gotten with the times and offered low-cost email services.

No, our answer is that EVs are dumb and that oil is the only energy source that matters in this century and every century to come.

My real problem is that they’re basically computers but they’re locked down. A few hundred more and I can get something completely customizable, with a wider selection of games at better prices, and performance is about the same. And of course you can do a lot more with a regular PC.

I’d be more open to buying one if they supported running Linux OOTB (without hacking or voiding warranties etc.) even if it was a dual boot or a VM situation. Either that or a big price drop. I thought consoles used to be able to do more with less because of high optimization but maybe that’s not a priority anymore.

It “regularly happens” in NPM because it has one of the biggest attack surfaces. You think hackers are spending a meaningful amount of time taking over abandoned Lua projects?

I know it would be logistically difficult to give every customer a fair refund for tariffs, so I’d be willing to spilt the diff and say every non-managerial employee should get the tariffs paid back as a tax-free bonus.

I use Atlassian products every day.

I’m good. 😒

Software is one thing, but giving a private company a steady stream of government data? That’s fucking madness.

I would actually prefer to move off all the important stuff and let it otherwise fill with garbage.

Given the massive amount of land we have renewables are the clear winner. Densely populated countries, with little to no coastline, would get better use out of nuclear.

Wow. A few decades late aren’t we? When’s Amazons turn? 2050?

Development is moving along just fine IMO. It’s the application of AI that’s out of control.

And if they put something like 10% of those savings back into developing more open source tech it would be a huge boost to the global community.

Anyway I can donate to help them out or does that violate stupid US sanctions?

POTS (legacy service) is harder to trace but for everything else it shouldn’t be hard to have cryptographic signatures per call. No call signature then you should know immediately the caller is trying to hide something.

Would be hilarious if China figured out efficient electrolysis and powered all their stuff using hydrogen but our huge and inefficient data centers needed all of our fresh water.

Hilarious. 😒

I hope MAHA is also livid over this.

Right. I mean, do you think they primed these models with top-secret munitions manuals?

A shared volume could help with this but of course every container needs to be on the same version to benefit from deduplication.

But wait, if they take over eBay wouldn’t they control a majority of the used game market?
