I don’t know, sounds like someone who uses the wrong bathroom to me

Honestly if they spend that on weapons and then use it lower the population it could help.

Shoot maybe Thanos was right…

The two party system is a symptom of the actual cause.

The average person doesn’t even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you’re can still torrent on your phone but I’ve not tried it.

So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.

I don’t have any experience with police in Europe but in North America you would give them a paid vacation till things blow over and perhaps shuffle them around to another dept and let them spoil another bunch.

Nah they are totally just going to spin up steel mills in no time. All steel is the same and the mills just hang out waiting to be used so bringing them back on line would be no problem!

The hacker community it’s very focused on Linux since most servers in the world run it. The fly by night script kiddies and botnet creators definitely prefer end user systems though.

It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won’t be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it’s likely impossible.

Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won’t because they are already a velban good.

The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.

Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.

The reality is that there is no tax break large enough to make up the difference in costs for a lot of things. Even with tariffs China is still cheaper.

No, no it is not.

I mean they were built to make money, the fact that you can send them a national security letter is just a happy accident that keeps the NSA from having to run more datacenters.

It isn’t wrong, it’s just the less common usage in 2025 which is why it reeks of AI.

Conveniently for Putin he can stop because he wants to, not because someone dropped a cigarette and lit up one of their ammo dumps the other day.

Honestly in an office situation there is no excuse not to have a super automatic espresso machine. They cost like 1500 dollars and you don’t need to buy the damn kcups.

Those people have never seen someone who has been hit by an air bag. It’s not a gentle pillow it’s a punch to the face and if you aren’t strapped in you’re probably gonna bounce around a bit off the interior.

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…

Smokers can never smell themselves so they don’t think it’s a big deal.
