3D printers are already running on FOSS

That’s what the bill is designed to stop.

And the primer. They want the firing pin to stamp the serial.

5. This was literally the point of the whole thing.

Levy import taxes to justify increasing prices on everything, then refund the taxes back to the companies while keep the new higher prices. It was a universal price hike in disguise.

We’ve had a century of being taught socialism is evil. The word is essentially poisoned in American politics.

I had a video of a newsworthy event a while back that went viral, and I made over 5 grand on it over the course of about 2-3 years when YouTube changed its monetization policy to require like 10k subscribers or something before the creator could monetize.

The video didn’t stop getting views. It had a spike in views just a few weeks ago when something similar happened in the same area. But I haven’t made any money from it in like 8 years.

The US bombed a girl’s school in the opening salvos against Iran because their AI fucked up.

Missiles that miss their target still hit something.

The employees and shareholders of the AI companies should be held responsible. Make RICO cases out of it.

The key difference with a Ponzi scheme is that the Ponzi/Madoff investors weren’t in on the schemes. They though they were investors in a legitimate enterprise. They had a central figure as the fraudster, wheras Enron and the AI bullshit are institutional-level fraud requiring multiple companies to be complicit.

The new one is the most elegant, because they don’t have to break the law to make money on the grift. It also makes it the biggest by far because everyone wants in on the action.

This bursting of this bubble with be catastrophic. Maybe tens of trillions (there’s estimated to be about 125 trillion dollars in assets total worldwide).

This has Ponzi elements, but it’s closer to a multi-company Enron in its structure. They’re manufacturing fake revenues through circular investments. Nvidia invests in AI companies and increases their value while AI companies use that investment to buy Nvidia cards increasing its value so, so they invest more in AI, so they buy more cards…

Enron did this by making fake companies to generate fake revenue. Right now the tech sector is all working together on this scheme, so none of the companies are fake, but the revenue is.

You don’t need dazzle paint to get hit by a Tesla.

I live in an area where Tesla and Waymo both operate taxis. Waymo is actually pretty solid. Those cars are some of the best, most-predictable drivers on the road. Tesla cabs are meth-addicted clankers.

Gen X got skipped in politics. The boomers refused to cede power, and it’s like the Xers largely aged out of entering the political space.

Big Box stores want you to buy a product and leave. They want fewer skus that work out of the box. Windows sucks ass, but most of the time you end up with a functional, if shitty, PC.

Also - Microsoft and Apple pay for floorspace at the big box stores. What Linux distro is gonna do that?

It’s the maintenance period on lots of infrastructure.

What it means isnthe private investors are more likely to bid to build power storage infrastructure for governments because it’s less likely they’ll ever have to change out the cells during the contract.

On the flip side, governments would kinda like them to work for 25 years so they’ll go 50 years without having to buy new cells.

At this point there could be video of him eating one child while fucking another in the middle of a pentagram made from the blood of aborted children and he wouldn’t lose support.

I’m waiting to hear how it is. Dan Houser and a lot of the other team members who lead the previous GTA games and RDR gave left Rockstar, so I don’t have the confidence I had going into GTAIV and V and RDR2.

USB micro 3 was the weirdest. One of my Samsunk Note phones used it.

Neat thing a lot of people didn’t know about it though was that you could still plug an older Micro B in and leave the rest unplugged, so it was backwards compatible for things like charging and slow data transfer.

I also have a widescreen conferencing monitor at work with a USB3-B connector for its built-in camera. It also has Type C, but I guess they wanted to give options for people with computers that didn’t have Thunderbolt ports or were using older docking stations.

They aren’t in the debates. They aren’t in the news. They frequently aren’t in the ballot.

Bernie has achieved what he has by caucusing as a Democrat. He joined the Democratic Party for both his Presidential campaigns.

Third parties are spoilers. That’s it.

If 1% of the Florida voters who voted for the Green party in 2000 had instead voted for Gore, Bush would never have been President and the world would be in a much better place.

It’s about false advertising. They advertise it as being ad-free, and then say in the TOS that there are, in fact, still ads.

TOS can clarify details of a service and set limitations and boundaries, but they do not justify deceitful advertising.

The end result will likely be a settlement with YouTube adding an asterisk on the ad itself that clarifies that users will still see advertisements inserted by the creators.

And how does electing Republicans improve things? Because not voting Dem in the general results in Republicans being elected. And THAT sends the message that the party should cater more to those who do vote, which swings the party to the right.

A third party winning is literally impossible. Anything other than a vote for the Democrats in the genral election is effectively half a vote for the Republicans.

Anyone telling others to vote 3rd party is either a fucking idiot or is intentionally trying to water down the anti-fascist vote. Either way, shut the hell up. We need to stop the motherfuckers currently in power, and you’re making that harder.
