Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.

It’s unclear why January’s security update for Windows 11 has been so disastrous.

Vibe coding …

Fuckheaded Brexit leaders should not be listened to.

Hell, Microsoft and Apple did the same thing decades ago. Microsoft offered computer discounts to high schools and colleges, so that the students would be used to (and demand) Microsoft when they went into the business world.

AI is a cancer and must be destroyed.

What. The. Fuck?

Trolls. This is one of the conversations we had, this one on a deliberately twisted claim he posted to Progressive Politics.

Got into a repeated argument with a guy here on fediverse this morning who was promoting “Mamdani is antisemitic” stuff. He was extremely adamant, and was following the same type argument structure as I used to get into with the MAGAts on reddit. I regret to announce that the trolls have arrived :(

I think it means that sales tax just came to the UK? Where what’s quoted on the tin isn’t the price at the register? If true, it’s going to make a lot of people very angry.

Crimea is part of Ukraine, but not it’s entirety.

There’s a difference between annexing Crimea and annexing Ukraine.

In an age of AI, propaganda networks, paid influencers, and fake news, it behooves all of us to challenge information from potentially non-credible sources.

Media bias / fact check for The Grey Zone:

Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.
