Is it because Netgear is a “US” company? Meaning they are on the US stock exchange, have corporate offices in the US, and manufacture everything in Asia?

Robots will fight each other over the burnt remnants of our homes.

Yeah, it’s not a trivial problem to solve either, especially if platforms censor mentions of decentralized alternatives.

However, it’s hard for the oligarchs to censor the fact that an organization like EFF exists, and hopefully someone clicks on one of their posts and reads something on their blog about decentralized alternatives.

Didn’t the guy throw out the constitution when he came back the first time? It’s a nice gesture but autocrats don’t care about the rules.

Yeah, he seems to think that the over-moderation is a good thing, and Cindy tries to convince him that censorship is bad and the answer instead is more like what you can do with the Fediverse, you can move servers if you don’t like how the server is moderated and who they federate with, but people are free to say what they want in their servers.

I think this sort of thing happens in software engineering a lot… it doesn’t matter whether genAI tools are the right solution to a problem. Billionaires are throwing an alarming amount of money at this, so they are basically trying to get a slice of that pie by virtue signaling that they love genAI, even if they don’t think it’s that valuable.

My employer wants features delivered, I don’t have time to circlejerk about genAI.

SQL is pronounced “squirrel”

I think it’s for rough terrain, like carrying packs of supplies through war zones. So not full climbing but at least able to step over rocks and debris.

It’s about two fascist leaders making desperate plays to stay in power. That’s it.

Polymarket seems like some sort of crypto scam and there are known crypto scammers like the Trump family involved.

However, what I find interesting about this is that it doesn’t cost anything to answer a poll, and likewise there’s no real gain for the participants.

Polymarket could be a better indicator than polling simply because there is an incentive to participate AND it costs something to participate.

It’s hard to tell from these articles whether they isolated cannabis use from smoking. That seems important to clarify…

So Israel has dirt on him too? Nice.

Both IBM and Oracle I haven’t really worked with because they’re heavily used by massive companies. We had an Oracle database when I was in banking that was because we were self hosting a loan accounting system. IBM does backend data processing stuff for massive companies like American Express and Bank of America. All of the smaller shops I’ve worked in have built things on Microsoft’s stack.

A genocide anywhere is a huge problem. The US is playing a major role in the genocide in Palestine, so yes it makes sense that Americans are more concerned about that one than the one in Sudan.

Balatro should just be renamed to Flush, every single time I win it’s because I use the “discard until you have a flush” strategy, and augment that with Jupiter, wild cards, steel cards, and jokers that give bonuses for flushes or single suits.

Great to see this feature coming back, now do this for a phone and add back removable SD card.

Still haven’t found a use for a non e-ink tablet…

It’s more that local authorities are offering incentives to big tech to bring in those data centers, ostensibly because they think it will benefit the area, but more likely because it is benefitting the local authorities personally through kickbacks or campaign donations.

It’s crazy to me that they don’t do a basic check before publishing the video either. Watched a video from a hugely popular developer on LinkedIn recently and every time he said ChatGPT the caption had LGBT or something else that was so clearly wrong. With the amount of followers this guy has you’d think he could take a glace at the captions before publishing.

This is the first I’m hearing of Aurora, that seems promising. I’m guessing you’d use FDroid for anything that is available there but use Aurora for anything that is only on the Play Store?

That Democrats were aborting babies after they are born, and that immigrants are eating our cats and dogs.
