It’s like 90% drunk homeless people that talk to you on trains and buses though. It gets tiring.

If I want chance encounters with sober people, I’ll go to the bar. I mean eventually the people there get drunk too, but it’s a nice “5 hours and 10 beers” drunk not “what month and/or year is it” drunk.

He’ll make the money in presidential campaign donations, I’m sure he’ll find a way to profit. He’s better than the Trump crowd for sure, but he’s no leftist.

I got downvoted so much for saying the same when that air force general quit.

It does no longer matter if the order is illegal, if half the nation is rotten. There can be an order to kill civilians and it has to be obeyed. You got a family to take care of and under Trump rule, said family can suddenly become terrorists if you refuse to bomb California or NYC or something. Which you won’t be able to do anything about when you’re in military jail.

Most people’s opinion was that you should directly disobey the dictator and just let whatever happen to your family, happen.

Also the AI GPUS probably won’t be great for gaming. And cheap could mean anything when they go for 20k a piece.

OK. I’ll check with Youtubers. Mo1stCritikal will be my first.

Huh, turns out he has an anti-firebombing stance. That’s almost as bad as being antifa so he’s a terrorist

I’m specifically mentioning Tesla because China allowed them to silence critics to protect their business interests. Yes, I know that it was done so that Chinese companies could learn from them and later surpass them in making EVs. I wouldn’t call BYD and the like great cars, but neither is Tesla and Tesla still has the gall to charge an arm and a leg for a motorized smart refrigerator.

Some dairy industry execs were imprisoned and/or executed to save face so that’s nice, but parents were also detained for trying to bring attention to the matter in the big formula scandal. Some said that doctors told them to keep quiet.

Business interests go above human rights in China and if a rich person is imprisoned or executed, it’s so the “communists” could save face after a scandal. Normally they’re completely fine with billionaires existing for some reason.

Smells very “corporations are people too” to me. Like the US, but with better infrastructure because Americans can’t even get that right.

I thought it was E = mc^2 + AI

I do consider myself something that many on Lemmy would call a shitlib (I’m a socdem basically) and I concur. Would be nice if people stopped killing each other, regardless of who’s doing it to who.

That is an oddity. Wish she’d filed a bug report. Unfortunately there will always be edge cases, but I’m glad to hear Kubuntu is working out. I disagree with Canonical on a lot of things, but I’d still rather see people using (K)Ubuntu than Windows.

Just count every sperm cell a man has as a future person, since eggs seem to almost count as people already.

China in the 21st century is getting farther and farther from communism. Hell, they protected TESLA from concerned citizens. Not just a corporation, but a foreign corporation.

Yes, and all are equal, but some more equal. Particularly, anyone that was part of the administration of the soviet union was more equal than anyone not close to the administration.

Administration needs to be humanless.

Nothing lives in cities naturally. Cities themselves just aren’t natural.

Where I come from, outdoors cats really don’t have a particularly long shelf life in cities and towns. Either they get hit by a car, or they wander to the forest and find something stronger than them

Invasive where?

Everyone keeps saying they’re invasive, but like… They’ve been around for thousands of years and were around before we started domesticating them (or they started domesticating us, I guess).

And yes, they kill birds, but then other wild animals also kill other animals.

And yes I realize you’re on .ca so probably Canadian, but my point is, everyone seems to assume everyone on the Internet is North American. Plenty of us live in Europe, where cats are sort of a naturally occurring phenomenon.

They’re really not, but not everyone needs them.

If you’re bordering type 2 diabetes and carbs just make your blood sugar shoot up and crash down, reducing or eliminating carbs can get your shit back in check without medication, and make it much easier to reduce your calories (since you don’t feel compelled to stuff your face again because of shaky hands)

They’ve got AI on the brain, they’re insane in the membrane

The entire thing is fake sadly, however, I’d totally do that with my child if I felt the need to put parental controls on their devices. For now, though, it’s not even an issue (too young for any smart devices) and idk, I grew up without parental controls and I’m fine - I’d say everyone needs to play Runescape and get scammed of their most valuable belongings, it makes skepticism come more naturally.

I’d just recommend Pop!_OS then. NVidia drivers can come preinstalled if you need them (not that it’s super hard to install on Ubuntu) and no Snap bullshit - anything you install via apt uses a deb, instead of sneakily installing a snap. Flatpak still remains an option and you CAN install snaps if you want to. COSMIC as it is now, is GNOME reconfigured a bit to be a bit keyboard-friendlier and will soon be replaced by COSMIC the brand new desktop environment. Otherwise it’s fairly similar to Ubuntu.

Also, Kubuntu or Mint are Ubuntu with an UI that is more familiar to someone coming from Windows. They work more or less the same.

Oh I know, I’m just fully enjoying the irony of watching the man who was supposed to lower the grocery prices make fewer people be able to afford groceries.

Here in Estonia our pseudonazi party got some power and it all fizzled out. All the infighting really didn’t help them.

They get a few parliament seats still, but the success they had 5-10 years ago seems gone.
