yep, and happy to make everyone around them feel guilty when they got theirs. i strongly dislike people who do this performative crap while unfortunately believing in their right to say it.

Sigh, people that bring politics to the forefront with everything are so miserable.

oversimplification fallacy

x is arguable better than twitter ever was and most arguments are just political bias or elon hate. i feel like x is just as far-right and just as far-left as you make it now because the feed is tuned by engagement and followers, people who call it out or refuse to participate are just using emotionally politically charged points that are mostly untruthworthy because they are not objectionable. i find x to be the closest thing to a truly open platform now minus the expensive api costs and some other annoyances with premium etc(there are ways around it).

when you consider that they don't ban stuff only in rare cases of it being illegal content, articles are clean and easy and have real reach if you know what you are doing, no particular ideology is governing the platform other than if you just don't like elon and you refuse to participate. it's far better than it was prior and i have been a user of twitter/x since 2013. i really enjoy talking to the many people around the globe on x (mostly japanese which have a very rich X community).

that all being said, social media is a contagion for the masses, and i still run 3 sites regardless of having an x account(i deleted instagram,facebook, never used tiktok).

your bias is showing. humans would certainly almost do anything they are told to do when the person acts confidently.

I've found awesome use cases for quick prototyping. It saves me days when I can just describe the final step and iterate on it backwards to perfection and showcase an idea.

they didn't seem to care about all the scalping or nvidia cards

I agree with you. I see this as a passion project, and I think it's really cool.

next up, rust in ebonics

Fred is quite literally only known for producing a platform that provides analytics on MMA fighting for the purpose of assisting gambling addicts at making a better gambling prediction, his second venture is writing negative opinion pieces about Tesla and focusing on the character persona that is Elon Musk. The ventures of Elon Musk have quite litreally proven he's a maker, not a conman. He has also won every lawsuit brought against him where half-truths are used in the public eye, but the moment it's in court the whole truth prevails, in almost every case.

He has a lot of enemies, ones he has made on his own, and those that envy what he has accomplished with the people that he has inspired to do the work. He is to some, an easy shortcut to fame because he is constantly putting himself in the public eye and welcoming risks. He has my respect, even with all his delays and set backs, he always seems to deliver eventually and that is not the same as conman with smoke and mirrors behind the curtain.

You sound radicalized.

Cosmic is coming along so well, worked with their PM team when it was pre-alpha on validations and the project still excites me.

arstechnica lost me as a reader about 8 years ago. it's like reading business insider with a hilariously liberal comment section.

I liked it when I used macOS but now I work primarily in a windows/fedora environment.

you can't just use harsh language to remove dictators or fascist leaders.

it's a pretty similar comparison to racial fairness groups pushing to get cops to have cameras and now they are pushing to have to not release the footage publicly because fear of racial bias.

who said anything about race

there is a controlled effort for this type of apparatus to exist everywhere

I love it.

we're talking about OEM devices aren't we?

i don't understand googles rationale here, what is the point in giving wind to the hackers sails while also driving home the narrative that android is a less secure system, especially after the recent changes related to the security of the latest iphone?

probably the best point that has been made is that there are a lot of younger people who think killing someone is a way to solve a conflict or problem

avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre

I didn't vote for Trump, but I can completely understand the desire to be rid' of illegal immigrants that do not respect our laws and not looking to get right with the system. Where I am originally from it was basically 8/10 drug related crime arrests was someone that had illegal status and it was such an issue the police force would essentially pull anyone over that even looked Mexican, straight up racial profiling.

This is a problem of our own creation and we have ignored it for 2 generations by letting immigration law go unenforced and while also not improving the path to citizenship for those who are law abiding and want to be a proper citizen or legal resident. Immigration is the primary wedge issue to drive people apart like abortion has been, but now it doesn't have the same luster because it's no longer a federal issue, but a state one.

I'm not a fan of the skirting of due process from the administration, but I also do not believe in obstructing them or outing officers to the end of hurting them in the personal and professional lives. There is lack of acknowledgement of reality from left leaning people that one of Trumps big campaign items was getting rid of illegal aliens and he won on this, it must be acknowledged or you are part of the problem.

My first point and last point can co-exist and did largely under the Obama administration(which held the deportation record prior to Trump). But what really intrigues me is why are they doing this in such a fast tracked way. All I can figure is they think a Democrat may win in the next election, and they don't want these people held up in courts so it can be reversed, they want them purged.

Honestly, I am shocked there hasn't already been an anti-trust case against cloudflare. They are so dominant, I rarely meet a customer that doesn't have an implementation utilizing their reverse proxy or other ZTNA functionality.

I didn't use an LLM to craft my retort, and in my opinion, I certainly didn't change the subject either. Why on earth bother fretting over hypotheticals that are never going to happen? Ten nuclear bombs dropping is precisely as consequential as none at all, since it's not happening, and there's zero historical precedence for such nonsense anyway.

Neither Russia nor China has ever deployed nuclear weapons against civilian populations, a distinction held solely by the United States. Their reasons for restraint diverge significantly, rooted in distinct strategic and cultural priorities, yet China’s rising global influence positions it as a greater long-term threat to the United States than Russia, despite Russia’s more overt aggression.

Russia’s behavior, exemplified by the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, reflects an aggressive posture driven by a desire to counter NATO’s eastward expansion and maintain regional dominance. However, its economic challenges sanctions, energy export dependence, and a GDP of approximately $2.1 trillion in 2023 (World Bank) constrain its global reach, rendering it a struggling, though resilient, power. With the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, Russia’s restraint in nuclear use stems from a pragmatic focus on national survival. Its actions prioritize geopolitical relevance over a quixotic pursuit of Soviet-era glory, but its declining economic and demographic strength limits its capacity to challenge the United States on a global scale.

In contrast, China’s non-use of nuclear weapons aligns with its cultural and strategic emphasis on economic expansion over territorial conquest. Through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, which has invested over $1.2 trillion globally since 2013, China has built a network of economic influence. Its military modernization, backed by a $292 billion defense budget in 2023 (SIPRI) and a nuclear arsenal projected to reach 1,000 warheads by 2030, complements this economic dominance. While China’s “no first use” nuclear policy, established in 1964, reflects a commitment to strategic stability, its assertive actions such as militarizing the South China Sea and pressuring Taiwan signal a willingness to use force to secure economic and territorial interests. Unlike Russia’s regionally focused aggression, China’s global economic leverage, technological advancements, and growing military capabilities pose a more systemic challenge to U.S. primacy, particularly in critical domains like trade, technology, and Indo-Pacific influence.

Europe and particularly the UK is still extremely rigid, and I fear to until the bitter end. You have a government right now riddled with aristocrats ignoring the electorate. I fear for my family living in Manchester and London.

it's a fact?
