Ah right, I forgot MS bought them.

I have to keep using the megacorporate OS because the other megacorporation won’t let me play their slop game unless they can install a virus on my computer!

A truce has been reached between the forces of AE-X11 Musk and the virtual consciousness of Jeff Bezos as they vow to unite against the tribal council of the former Russian Federation to secure the remaining oil reserves in the desert plains of the Antarctic continent

Minor correction: if they are brown (or black) they aren’t people, so it isn’t a problem to begin with.

Given the horrible legacy of Japan in Taiwan, the fact that Taiwanese prefer to align with today’s Japan than China illustrates just how much they don’t want to be governed by the CCP.

It’s OK, you’re on Lemmy, we all use Linux here so you’re among friends (or bitter enemies if your distro of choice is Ubuntu)

She’s more of a Ghislaine than a Jeffrey, if you will

Currently, no (other than the microphone). Android apps are sandboxed and the Signal app encrypts its data so it isn’t readable from the outside. There is however a real concern if using keyboards with predictive text, because the keyboard knows what you’re typing into Signal.

I see a sprinkle of Viktor Orban in there too. Maybe it’s the jowls?

It’s like the old joke about lawyers: it’s just 90% who make the other 10% look bad.

Unless OP believes that Cheney was the real brains behind the Biden presidency?

You may be right, but I hope you aren’t.

The dotcom crash was no joke. Most people here weren’t around for it (as adults at least) so they brush it off. I’m not saying this next crash won’t be bad, I’m saying it won’t have the knock-on liquidity effects of 2008.

I believe the reliance on index type funds has increased at a drastic rate.

Very good point, although this will disproportionately harm regular folks like us, and the people in charge don’t really care about that so it won’t be as disruptive as somebody important (like a bank or a hedge fund, neither of which rely on index funds) getting into financial trouble.

Yeah, this article should compare nVidia’s revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren’t, as it wouldn’t produce an alarming stat.

Not really, because Nvidia’s revenue is far less exorbitant than its market cap. I’m not sure why c/technology is suddenly a dumping ground for every random Medium blog, which is as trustworthy a news source as somebody’s Facebook feed.

The AI bubble will pop, but will likely be more like the doctom crash than the 2008 one. It isn’t as interconnected with the rest of the economy.

I remember wearing a snowsuit under my costume.

The guy collecting empties in the highway culvert is also generating revenue, but that doesn’t mean his enterprise is worth 5 billion dollars.

Edit: I meant “trillion” but I’m so unused to actually typing that number out because it’s so absurdly large

It’s only 3/5ths black and white

Exactly, and an indictment of the aggressive cluelessness of American voters too. I prefer intelligent people making informed decisions, regardless of their net worth.
