I misunderstood and my comment wasn’t well considered. It was even dumb.

I’m concerned about how, whether Trump participates and makes a fool of himself or drops out like the coward he is, the headlines will still all be about Trump. This is exactly the media approach that got him elected first time.

I didn’t watch the debate but it’s a bit disheartening that every headline so far has “Vance” in it but not “Walz”. The media always give the Republicans far more free publicity than the Democrats.

The U.S. company — whose phones are still sold in Russian stores despite the firm officially leaving the market due to the invasion of Ukraine…

Apple taking a brave stand as ever.

Edit: This was not the smartest comment.

Nintendo once again treats its fans with contempt and hostility. It’s not a good look.

He just wants them to have one day to kill all the non-whites, non-straights, trans people, non-subservient women, etc. And he’s dumb enough to believe, as the Nazis did, that this will lead to a better world rather than a hell on earth.

Except when someone is a proven fascist with a long history of proposing the violent oppression of women, non-whites and minorities, and affiliated with a large political party that shares this aim. Then it’s probably malice.

Also total f------ Nazi. That bit’s important too.

This is why employers are ageist. They want naive employees.

Qobuz is good: reasonably priced, you get the best quality audio (actual high resolution, not the MQA nonsense Tides was doing), a good catalogue and a decent UI, and it pays the artists a bit more than Spotify and others. Spotify is still a bit better for recommendations and automatic playlists.

Peter Thiel has a reputation for being evil but smart. This guy didn’t seem so smart, just cocky and ambitious.

It gets worse:

Instead of seeking expert advice on how to retrieve the weapon, one officer decided to activate the emergency shutdown button.

“This action caused the MRI’s magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2,000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine,” the suit said.

The officer then retrieved his gun, but left a magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office, the suit says.

The USA won’t allow it; it will facilitate it.

Some Republicans are literally working for Russia; the rest just love Putin and the reactionary religious conservatism and oppression of minorities he stands for. In either case they effectively work for Russia.

And the law forbidding promotion of the “childless lifestyle” achieves oppression of women, nonreligious people and LGBTQ+ people all in one go. Republicans will certainly want to do something similar.

And I specifically mentioned the USA because that’s the country where OpenAI operates and where the events in the article take place, so if someone asks why it’s so easy for OpenAI to go from being a nonprofit to a for-profit company (this was the issue I was responding to, not some general question about whether money has influence around the world), it’s the laws of the USA that are relevant, not the laws of other countries.

It all gets publicity, and he won in 2016 on the back of months of free outrage publicity. All the time our attention is on him, it’s not on his opponent.

I don’t see where I said that.

USA tho

Ah, but one asshole gets very rich in the process, so all is well in the world.

Many of our home customers’ feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.
