A recession helps the wealthy. They get to buy property, services, and company ownership at fire-sale prices while the rest of us have to sell assets and labor below their actual value to avoid starving to death.

“Every accusation is a confession.”

And native software.

Because JavaScript runs everywhere, we have companies creating “apps” and PC “programs” that are little more than glorified web views. There’s normally nothing wrong with having shared code across implementations, but when that shared code is a 4 MB bundle of crap that creates 100s of MB in dictionaries and JIT compiler caches, you’re ruining the end-user experience.

Fuel efficiency—the measurement for getting more mileage out of the same amount of gasoline. Congratulations, MAGA voters, you played yourself! When you pick up that new pile of trash made by Ford or Stellantis (and I know you will because they’re AMERICAN* cars), I hope you enjoy the higher gas expenses that you voted for.

* With the extra irony being that many of those “American” brands are owned by Stellantis, which isn’t even headquartered anywhere in North America.

they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it

This complaint is missing the forest for trees.

Special classes of people have existed for as long as civilization has exited. Leaders and followers, kings and peasants, the wealthy and the poor, etc. As animals, it’s in the nature of some of us to desire a greater share of resources and luxury at the cost of depriving others from having the same.

An article repeating the notion of people with specific skin tones are part of a privileged class isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of the problem. The problem is the bigots who put that into practice, singling out and causing problems for people with specific tones while providing benefits to those with other specific tones. Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity, it’s just going to get rid of discussion about class disparity. The racists will still be there, being racist.

The only way that username would check out is either if it was owned by a pushy and holier-than-thou social progressive with zero self-awareness, a conservative with a small world view that feels “owning the libs” is a personality trait, or a troll.

Now, considering your account was created on this platform two days ago, just called the resident population of Lemmy stupid, and drink whatever kool-aid Musk is selling, it’s a toss-up between the last two.

Much like Musk himself, it seems.

He wants to allow AI slime on his own platform

Don’t forget the blatant scams called crypto games! He proudly announced Epic Games Store would happily sell games centered around NFTs and crypto after Valve said they wouldn’t allow it.

He’s the same with EGS. “A store with a 30% fee and a price-dictating monopoly is not ideal” is a simple message to agree with. Yet somehow he’s turned that into radioactive sludge.

The somehow:

• Creating EGS for the benefit of the seller, not the consumer
  • Lower fees are pocketed by the publisher
  • No public reviews
  • No forums or workshop equivalent
  • Refusing to add warning labels about things people care about (DRM, AI generation, etc.)
• Failing to benefit small games
  • Poor on-platform discoverability for games
• Using anti-consumer tactics to drive adoption
  • Paying third-party devs for permanent exclusivity
  • Paying third-party devs for timed exclusivity
  • Paying influencers to push narratives that “steam bad for you, Epic good”

“It’s hard to understand why we would revoke a rule that simply requires companies to test for asbestos.”

It’s really not.

1. Testing costs money.
2. Sourcing talc with lower levels of asbestos costs money.
3. Corporations only care about profit.
4. The current admin is corrupt as hell.

OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don’t want to see the difference.

What’s next?

• Trumpla, the EV manufacturer?
• Trumpmart, selling nearly-rotten food at marked-up prices.
• Trump Burder this one already exists.
• Trumple Inc, consumer phone dropshipper.
• Trumpazon, a marketplace where he takes a cut on all sales.
• Trump Sauna, a PC games storefront.

After the posts were deleted, Musk responded in a statement, saying, “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me. For the record, I am a fat retard.”

Derogatory use of the term aside, it looks like it’s time to reset the counter back to “[0] days since Elon Musk actually said something true”

If only it were that easy. A conversation with one of them would go something more like this:

“It’s not Trump.”

“Okay, prove it!”

“I don’t need to because THIS IS AMERICA, and it’s INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.”

“Like the people arrested by ICE?”

“THEY WERE CRIMINALS!”

“Even the 93% without criminal records?”

“THAT’S FAKE NEWS, LIBTARD”

“Neither” is also an acceptable answer.

Agreed. The call trace shows it occurred as part of a drm_ function, which is related to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem.

There’s a chance it might not be the root cause, but the more obvious answer is that the Nvidia driver managed to corrupt a kernel data structure.

Say what you will about medieval monarchies, but at least those had the good sense to permit a court jester to speak foolishly of the head of state.

Please fill in the blanks:

• China’s socioeconomic model is _____.
• In the Russia—Ukraine war, Russia is _____.
• _____ Korea is the more prosperous of the two.

The attack was coming from ::1

Or if that’s too unbelievable, fe80:: has some scary implications while also not likely to ever be a real device.
