They can’t vote. They’re either not American or they’re bots.

It doesn’t need a cell connection.

Is that the one that uses peer to peer tech to share videos?

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how it works. The people who do not have the greed at some point are content.

It’s a mental abnormality that causes some people to act like cancer and consume resources obsessively.

It’s also a consequence of low taxes on capital gains and corporate profits.

When those taxes were higher it made more sense to reinvest the profits back into your own company. You’d build a reputation and a structure that would pay out you and your family for a hundred years.

Now the dream is to build up a company just enough to sell it to some megacorp and cash out asap, with you and your family living off of investment money that only increases over time.

Half the job at ICE is to stand around as a deterrent. It’s hard to sabotage “go here and exist”.

Called what? That you didn’t like their use of emojis?

What does that have to do with this? You didn’t call shit.

Bitwarden disables some features if you self host, even if you pay the $15/year.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

It’s always going to sound accurate. That’s what’s it’s built to do. It’s just that often the easiest way to sound accurate is to be accurate, but not always. Shortly after you forget that it’s going to fuck you.

Better not forget.

Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.

If you comment, yes. A bunch of copied headlines with no comments? No.

Shouldn’t it be called Microsoft 250? There are 250 working days in a year. As soon as I’m home I’m using Thunderbird or Libreoffice, certainly not the product formerly known as Microsoft Office.

It’s already happening, in part because of this and in part because of the unstable, unpredictable US government.

Several European countries are looking towards investing in open source as a way to get away from American big tech because they’re suddenly considering US sanctions against them a real possibility, or at least a real threat.

Kind of. It’s certainly difficult to deal with this.

I skipped a game or two of League of Legends last night because I didn’t want to reboot into Windows. Played some Rocket League instead.

Best language, suitable for all but the most low level stuff where you don’t want a garbage collector. For that use Rust.

C#, Rust, and maybe just a minimum amount of JavaScript, and I didn’t think you need anything else.

The worst part of C# is that sometimes Java devs sneak in, but that happens in every language.
