How can anyone take this man seriously

Imagine if people in the 1950s were informed about the health and ecological harms that plastic would cause if it became widely adopted and were able to intervene before that happened.

That's what the current moment feels like regarding #AI. People understand that we are on the cusp of ecological and sociological disaster and are fighting to stop it while there's still time.

I can't in good conscience recommend Linux to non-techy folks when it does stupid things like fail to load the graphical desktop because the disk is full

If our election systems are so compromised that it cost Trump the 2020 election, then how did he win the last election? #uspol

I am the leftist who sailed out and sank the big letters that spelled Gulf of America. This is why the name never caught on and the rest of the world still calls it the Gulf of Mexico.

I worked in a clone PC shop in the mid '90s and some of the computers we worked on for customers were flat out nasty. The nastiest one belonged to a chain smoker. The whole damned store stank when that computer came in. All its internal components were amber like they were brushed with wood stain.

I assume the Iran deal is "stop hitting yourself" but in Persian

The mandate of any country is to protect its people and to provide that which they need that they cannot provide for themselves. It can't shirk its responsibilities by deeming them 'unsustainable'. If a government can't adequately perform its duties in a sustainable way there's zero chance the market can.

In the U.S. we are told the same things about our Postal Service and Social Security. We are never told the Pentagon is 'unsustainable' even though it has failed every audit since Congress began mandating them in 2018. As recently as 2024 the Pentagon could not account for 60% of its $4.1 trillion in assets.

The funniest thing about watching all these tech companies devour themselves tail first is if they possessed the slightest amount of chill they could have carried on forever while enjoying popular support. Greed is a helluva drug.

Basically the United States was sold to venture capital. It’s currently in the liquidation phase and will flip to a Spirit Halloween sometime after Labor Day #uspol
