Agreed. That retort was spot on.

• No attacking his personality.
• No attacking his physical characteristics.
• No strawmen.
• No name-calling.
• Just a direct cut at his oxymoronic qualifications and lack of care for the working class.

But, I think a capability that hasn’t been fully revealed to us yet is the ability for manufacturers and (presumably intelligence/law enforcement agencies) full remote takeover of some of these vehicles.

Assuming it is a Tesla, if they do, it’s likely only implemented in a targeted OTA update package. Tesla’s regular firmware packages are heavily scrutinized by white-hats for datamining and jailbreaking purposes, and it would be far too risky to leave something like that accessible to people with reverse engineering experience.

[The dad,] Mr. Arriaga got an alert on his phone about the crash and headed to the scene.

Not a message from one of the passengers, an alert. Probably a Tesla or some other always-connected electric vehicle.

Because they think they’re hot shit and have an ego the size of Jupiter. In their mind, they’re the catch and someone would have to be a (insert slur) to turn down such a gracious offer from the world’s most attractive “alpha male”.

Spud also has a blue Twitter checkmark. If it walks holding signs like a Nazi and quacks on a Nazi-owned platform it pays to use…

Why days worth of farming? To help give the player a sense of “pride and accomplishment” of course.

Don’t forget the energy needed to produce the humans who:

• Produced research leading to the creation of LLMs.
• Figured out how to design the GPUs that AI run on.
• Extracted the raw materials for the chips.
• Processed the materials into products.
• Transported the materials and products.
• Installed the GPUs in datacenters.
• Built the datacenters.
• Operate the civil infrastructure providing power and water to the datacenters.
• Planned and designed that civil infrastructure.
• Congregated into a single area to create the town/city where that infrastructure was planned.
• Birthed that population of people.
• Etc.

Hint: It’s the same cumulative energy that his own stupid argument is hinged on.

No need to swap lol

A flake-based configuration: [am I a joke to you]

htop, ytop, and ranger (or something similar).

And just based on the info those show, the computer is a ThinkPad with some 4-core, non-SMT Intel CPU and 8 GB of memory with 512 MB of that reserved for the integrated GPU.

It wouldn’t even work on paper. All it would take to twist this into something dystopian is requiring cryptogtaphic attestation for the age range, and knowing lawmakers, they would justify it as a countermeasure for kids lying about their age. Expand the feature as a web API so websites can use the “easier” and “more secure” system-level age verification process and—oh look, now we can’t use important websites without a commercial operating system.

It would be like Secure Boot but worse. At least with that you can turn it off or enroll your own keys.

The blogger in question doxxed the owner/maintainer of Archive.today who in return doxxed the blogger.

Did you actually read the two articles posted by the blogger? The archive.today owner wasn’t doxxed. No personally identifying information was provided; it only aggregates already-known info including a couple of fake aliases. The most it concludes is that the guy is Russian or operating out of Russia.

With conservatives—or rather, the people lacking morality and empathy who flock to the ideology—it’s always projection. They can’t imagine having the integrity to not do what they would do when given the opportunity so they cry foul.

In their zero-sum way of thinking, it sets them up to be ahead of the scandal. They use it as “proof” to justify their DARVO statements and whataboutisms. Morality be damned, as long as the other side takes a bigger hit, they still feel like they win.

I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.

I guarantee both would lack self-awareness and instead be defined with a generous sprinkling of “woke”, “antifa”, or “liberal” in the definition.

Maybe:

“Checks and balances make it so a woke liberal president can’t take away our freedom by himself.”

Some of them are actual people who believe what they’re saying. Those are the same people who live in the Venn diagram intersection between “lives in a western country” and “has never lived in China or Russia”. It takes a special kind of ignorant to vehemently deny that the grass might not be greener on the other side.

Oh, no, no. You misunderstand. They want small government as in physical size, not organizational size. The smaller it is, the more places they can fit it in your daily life. /s

Well, that explains a lot about the product quality. Their entire development workflow is a complete fucking mess.

• Long-lived feature branches.
• Creating merge commits to main just for the sole purpose of tagging them as releases while also maintaining separate release branches.
• Force-pushing tags to incorporate post-release hotfixes instead of releasing minor patch updates.
• Taking bugfixes from releases and merging them back into the development branch (have they not heard of cherry-pick?)
• Always using merges even when a rebase would be easier to follow and keep the history more straightforward.

I am a different person. For the record, I don’t condone making the uncensored videos public either.

Investigators need to see them

The ones at the DOJ, which is led by a corrupt loyalist?
The ones at the FBI, which is led by a different corrupt loyalist?

The public doesn’t need to see them, but investigators won’t do shit if/when they see them.

Record the flip, of course /s

To be fair, he has some things going for him: the uncanny ability to get away with false advertising and stock manipulation.

Somehow, “{Super far-fetched thing} will be available NEXT YEAR!” manages to keep working despite the clear history of his promises being even more overhyped and overpromised than even Peter Mollineaux’s.
