Okay except this is in no way infighting between them; it’s solidarity. Why would anybody assume Musk is forcing Bezos to censor the ad against his will, when it’s much more likely that Bezos wants to refuse the ad in order to further the cause of plutocracy?
Is this community some weird alternate universe where Bezos is a good guy standing up for the little people and not a villain oligarch in his own right?
I can imagine a plotline where they assign him to to the Cerritos in order to augment/replace Migleemo (either because the crew is so unhinged that his workload is too high, or he’s seen as ineffective) and hijinks ensue.
To be fair, the rumored $750 MSRP is ridiculous too.
Since when is Common Cause an oligarch?
This article is about Bezos acting in solidarity with Musk, not one of them trying to censor the other.
No, fuck that. Objective reality exists and those who claim things contrary to it are fucking liars.
Don’t tease me with headlines like that.
It’s easy to fall into the mindset of assuming all replies are rebuttals by default, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes they’re concurrences, and sometimes they’re just using what you wrote as a jumping-off point to a different tangent.
He said “non Star Trek.”
Especially the Christmas Special
I mean, regulations do get in the way of profits. It’s just that the profitable behaviors being outlawed by regulation are the ones that create harmful externalities, and it’s only in oligarchy fantasy land that they’re entitled to cause others harm for their own benefit.
Nobody posted the copypasta yet? I guess it’s gotta be me, then.
They claim they fall under the Presidential Records Act, but they’re lying.
Oversight didn’t do that; fucking up the manufacturing did that.
Well, I could be wrong, but I think Unix (IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Xenix, etc.) might also be Unix-like.
Because if they really were Palestinians, obviously that would’ve been perfectly A-OK?
I would figure it would be just the opposite: that you’d want to try Gentoo specifically for gaming, in order to wring every last FPS out of the system. At least, that was part of my motivation back in the day (despite Proton not being a thing yet, IIRC I could at least play some games on Linux back then).
I think of Gentoo like the Fast and the Furious-esque customized sports coupe you drive when you’re young to try to impress your friends. In contrast, I’m at the point where I can’t be bothered anymore, so I drive the boring minivan of distros, Kubuntu. Point is: try Gentoo sooner rather than later, while you still give a shit. (Edit: of course, with a username like @MidsizedSedan, it might already be too late, LOL)
They’re on the good drugs.
Well, yeah, but that’s what you sign up for when you choose to use Gentoo. Custom-compiling every app, every time, with your chosen USE flags, is the advantage of it. (I suppose Gentoo has “binary packages” available now, but at that point I don’t see why you wouldn’t just pick Arch instead to begin with.)
Also, that’s another reason you should update frequently (e.g. daily or weekly): to keep compilation times reasonable by only ever updating a few packages at once.
Also also, as I said, I last used Gentoo two decades ago. Even back then, I found the compilation times… uh, at least “tractable.” 😅 I can only assume that with modern hardware they’re not bad at all, as for the most part, processing power has scaled faster than FOSS code complexity.
It’s “Trump’s idea” in the sense that Trump’s endorsement gave him cover to do it.
Just like all the “gEnOcIdE JoE” anti-Kamala agitators wanted.
Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) later turned out to be a delusional POS in other ways, but his formalization of the concept of a “confusopoly,” where companies collude to extract extra profits by making their products so complicated to evaluate that people have difficulty choosing between them because of decision fatigue, was spot-on.
