“Micro chips” cost almost nothing in bulk. They are like a barcode sticker, but sub-surface. Even the scanners are affordable. Plugs right into USB and emulates a keyboard that sends key strokes for the chip ID. Full-size Parmigiano wheel can cost a pretty penny.

I spend a lot of time wondering what “independent media” is supposed to be

His stock manipulation game certainly has changed lately

Bots

A rumor of plans??! Tell me everything!!!

This is so wild. I really don’t miss Flash, but since Steve killed it with the iPhone, Web development has spent more than 10 years to reinvent the ActionScript3 environment and make the entire web depend on it. And who solely prevented AS3 as a web standard from happening? Chris Wilson, Web Standards Tech Lead at Google, in his former role at browser monopolist Microsoft.

Today, every single piece of the web is designed by Google to further their business. And all these fucking Electron applications…

Social Media, just like all media, does not exist to “earn money with ads”, or even profile you. It is about being able to influence you through controlling the availability of content you don’t even realize. It doesn’t matter if you interact. All the other bullshit is intentionally published to distract, on media. Chat bots have a bias. They don’t exist to help you. They exist to control the responses.

Hmmm that refreshing smell of holocaust trivialization in the morning…

It’s bait

The commercial offerings already do that by themselves. The customer pleasing bias ensures their pointlessness

You can run your own IdP on your network

Having this LLM bullshit in Notepad should be the real news

Wow. They managed to grab such a star after how Intel has been excelling in the important field of AI recently. Nokia does it again

If only you could use ChatGPT during an interview the same way as when you’re employed. Then everyone would finally recognize how outstanding you are

I believe writing the pure kernel is doable in time, but Linux has a ton of drivers, also implemented in C. I also believe it’s not unreasonable to assume that those are the source of most of the issues that Rust would solve. I’m nowhere close to actual kernel development myself though either.

Migrating such a huge, complex code base over however as much time to a different language seems completely unrealistic to me though. What you’re saying is right. It makes more sense to keep a pure C Linux kernel and work on a replacement in parallel. No matter how great a new language is, you can’t expect an entire community of seasoned contributors to adopt it. It’s unreasonable

Thanks for providing the additional clarifications, I think pretty much all of it is valid, I just have a slightly different perspective.

Most people would likely agree with you that investing into a home through dept is reasonable. I don’t disagree.

I also agree that you can utilize loaned capital in a way that your earnings outperform the debt incurred.

You’re still gambling though. You can not afford to lose your home, or that loaned capital. Maybe you feel like your chances are good, and maybe they really are, but you’re relying on your personal prediction of the future to ultimately resolve that debt.

A “real” investment is just as much gambling, but the fallout from failure is entirely different.

Just FYI for whoever needs to read this: If you go into debt for a single investment, it’s a mistake. You are supposed to invest your excess, into as many isolated pools as reasonable. If you’re part of the majority of the population, which doesn’t have an excess, you are not investing - you are gambling.

Billions of completely unrelated developments of niche topics in languages most people don’t understand and then also hundreds of competing solutions to the same problems.

This reads like an angry response to what Proton has been doing very recently.

Take a moment to reflect how you started to use their services. Really think about what you thought at the time about them being the right service for your needs.

Did anything really change for you, other than thinking your porn download history is now as safe as Nazi gold in Switzerland?

Take the next step, and don’t look back.
