Funny how quickly an about-face happened after that shitbag Orban faceplanted in his election 🥰

I am consistently blown away by how many people I know who use their work machines for personal shit. Including really personal shit, like medical things.

Hey, I got some bad news for you: a shitload of corporations - and particularly, every one of the FAANG et al orgs - are surveilling the shit out of their workers, and this is not a new development.

You know that just makes you an antidote (lol) antisocial asshole, right? A ban is absolutely stupid, for sure. But it’s entirely reasonable for people to not want to be around vape smoke of any variety. Not to mention, some people might not want to be around it for, you know, medical reasons.

It’s more about the precedent that it sets than their outright share of global oil trade.

And this is one of the reasons why I won’t move back.

CA is essentially a corporatist technocrat oligarchy with leftist window dressing. But there aren’t any windows, because it’s a data center.

While I agree that shifting the world away from being so US-centric is a good idea long-term, this is absolutely not the way to do it. This is going to cause an absolute shitload of harm everywhere - and not just to Western countries, lest you think I’m trying to be an apologist for them. The only parties that this will unequivocally benefit are Russia and NK. Even China is gonna feel some splash damage from the (now ongoing) collapse of US geopolitical and geoeconomic stability.

Ah - I misinterpreted the object of your comment, my bad

That’s about as nuclear of an option as they can threaten in terms of geoeconomics and how they’ll directly impact the US, tbh.

For those in the back: they’re threatening to jump on the bandwagon that’s shifting away from the petrodollar, which would have absolutely catastrophic consequences for the US economy, as well as in general. Think “fall of the USSR” type shit. This is not an exaggeration.

And yeah, it can absolutely be argued that the petrodollar was a stupid fucking idea for a lot of reasons. But it did let the US more or less not care about debt at all for over a half century. Pulling that rug is going to have a lot of consequences in a lot of places all over the world - not just the US - and will ultimately yield a lot of chaos.

DDoS is absolutely a game - it’s just that sometimes the person/business/service you’re playing against doesn’t understand or realize they’re playing

Uh… genuine question: why did you convert? And what were you converting from?

The fuck you say, Chapelle?

You absolutely helped to weaponize the right’s agenda against trans people with your rhetoric. It’s one of the primary reasons I refuse to watch your content anymore. Fuck all the way off.

Yeah so this isn’t gonna fly in any way, shape, or form. All of that will be cited by companies who are users as trade secrets and proprietary internal documentation. This is a great way for them to force their userbase away from their products.

So, yeah… bold move, cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.

Fuck you, Gizmodo, and fuck off. There are consequences when you break the societal contract. This is that.

RTGs are subject to the issue of half-life - this is a consequence of that type of power source. Though, let’s be honest: we do not have any other sort of power generation technology that would be viable for literal decades on an interstellar space probe. And we definitely didn’t have a better alternative when they were launched.

What makes you want to die on that hill? How does this affect your life in any way whatsoever - let alone meaningfully?

Tell us you don’t understand modern geopolitics without telling us you don’t understand modern geopolitics
