He will. By fucking capitulating completely, and letting Putler walk all over Europe.

If you think Trump will do anything but prop up Netenyahu even more, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Preach.

What’s likely going to happen though, is a generation of school kids continue to use Chromebooks because that’s what they’ve been taught since grade one. And you know who is even more egregious in ignoring privacy than Microsoft? It’s a company whose name starts with a “G” and ends with “oogle”.

Yes. But back then, the consumer protections actually meant something, and the regulatory agencies weren’t defanged and neutered. Nowadays, giant corporations point and laugh at the fines and continue business as usual.

Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).

“Hi, not mom, I’m daughter!”

Branch out to another long-running show like Doctor Who.

It’s 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.

A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa’uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.

That’s as close to mythology as I got.

I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

I also choose this guy’s dead wife.

You can’t 3D print a gun, but you can buy one without a background check. Brilliant.

Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.

I’m in the opposite camp - never answer calls from area codes same as mine. Scammers now target numbers with same area code as the one they’re spoofing. If also the first 3 digits after the area code match too, that’s an even higher chance of a scam.

It is. And don’t call me Shirley.

If you think that these days resumes actually reach developers, I have an AI company to sell you.

I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be “impossible” without them having free access to everything.

you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist

I think it’s better this way.

They can. But often they don’t, until it’s too late.

so of course you fix your neighbors roof, otherwise they will not help you in the future.

You know what they say about common sense.

Back to my condo story. A few years into my fight with them over the leaky roof, a radiology office opened up on the 1st floor’s commercial space. Very quickly the 2nd floor residents came to find out how loud those MRI machines get, and wanted everyone to chip in for installing soundproofing. At that point 3 other units on my floor also began experiencing leaks on their ceilings because turns out water doesn’t stop at apartment boundaries. The people who were voting down fixing the leak were very angry at us for voting down installing soundproofing. They just couldn’t wrap their brains around the idea of shared benefit until it hit them in the face.
