The problem in this is that you can substitute either the Harris campaign or the Muslim voters for “they”

Lol! You’re absolutely right. From my point of view, though, the democratic party is so fully captured and out of touch with actual issues that they’re beyond being reasoned with, so it should almost go without saying who I’m referring to. And yes, I acknowledge how completely fucked that is.

They’ve created this absolutely monstrous situation where we always have to choose between letting people we care about get hurt, or a tiny glimmer of hope of something better, and even though I pushed to avoid the former, I’m fully sympathetic to both sides.

I personally agreed with undecided in principle and was sympathetic that Harris largely ignored them. The problem is that trying to leverage their position for actual good policy outcomes made for this nasty prisoner’s dilemna situation where both parties chose the bad option.

I honestly thought that they’d eventually come around because of just how bad Trump was going to be for democracy, and moreover for the people they cared about. Sadly, they were so devoted to their game of chicken that some of their loved ones will pay for it.

I also don’t think it’s that callous to engage in a little bit of “I fucking told you so.”

Most people I saw here were just trying to achieve the most favourable outcome, given the reality at the time.

Will he though?

Everything OK down there in America Nation X?

I think what’s incredibility obvious to you and I is an area of willful and encouraged ignorance for some who benefit from the results of their ignorance. I think that the media is largely complicit is beyond distasteful, but it’s also the reality we live in.

I also think it’s important for wikipedia to work through their own NPOV policies. It should be applauded that they eventually arrived at the correct conclusion, AND moreso that they spent time considering and discarding contrary positions.

Accepting one particular viewpoint with no consideration is dogmatism, and is not helpful to progressive causes.

Honestly, in a managed environment, there’s not really much learning to do. All the hard part of learning Linux is dealing with system issues, or when shit breaks. In corporate land, you’ve got IT staff for that.

The biggest hurdle would be learning libre office, but considering the average white collar level of mastery of MS office is pretty poor, the basics really aren’t that different in LO.

Surely that means he also took a hefty pay cut to keep on as many people as possible. Wouldn’t that be what accepting accountability looks like?

I’m all for it. Faux “strong-man” types can’t stand ridicule, so consider it a form of protest. You can take his threat to democracy seriously while still acknowledging he’s a joke of a person.

Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

Sounds like they’ve done you a favour. Now you don’t have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.

I think in MrBeast’s case, he got big precisely because he was willing to hurt and manipulate others, not that he changed once he made it. He seems like a grade A PoS.

The thing I’m most surprised about is that it took so long for the cracks to show.

It’s not about being friendly with Trump, it’s that Harris intends to raise taxes for people with net worth over $100M.

Dogmatic? That’s pretty rich coming from the country with so much entrenched guilt that they’re willing to let the same thing happen someplace else because the ones they’ve wronged are now the perpetrators.

The correct lesson wasn’t only that ethnic persecution of Jewish people is to be avoided, it’s that all ethnic persecution should be avoided.

It’s interesting that the effect magnitude and significance are both higher for negative emotions than positive ones.

I mean, it’s fairly common knowledge that we remember negative emotional experiences more strongly than positive ones, but it’s interesting to see that supported here.

From the other phoronix article:

UPDATE: When asked whether Linus Torvalds was under any sort of NDA around this, he responded:

"No, but I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.

I’m also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them."

I don’t love this decision, but I think if you’re willing to read between the lines here, it sounds like maybe he didn’t have much of a choice. Then again, Torvalds also seems pretty happy to comply.

In other areas, sanctions don’t always mean a complete ban. For example, Ian Nepomniachtchi is still allowed to play chess internationally, just not under the Russian flag. This seems needlessly putative unless there are legitimate security concerns.

Yeah, I just recently upgraded from a first gen i7. The performance gain is substantial, but less necessary than you’d think. I’d probably have kept going with my trusty i920 a bit longer if it wasn’t for lack of AVX.

Agreed. In the long term it’s better for consumers if there is competition, but that also means being an informed consumer, making good buying decisions and not being blindly loyal to any particular brand.

If anything, Intel’s lack of transparency should speak volumes. They’re hoping to just mostly ignore the problem until it blows over. I still think it’s more severe than they’re letting on, but only time will tell. They’re in full damage control mode right now.

Anyone who gets scared off of buying Intel CPU’s until they see how this plays out is making a sound decision IMO. Consumers shouldn’t accept this kind of behaviour.

On the flip side, this could also make for some potentially good deals on unaffected SKUs.

From the article:

1.4 million fentanyl pills totaling 152.98 kilograms.

This is probably better phrasing.

The weight of the pills is 153kg, not the weight of the fentanyl within the pills. That is substantially different. Like orders of magnitude off.

That’s wild. Did you need a special program to parse stuff out of the data stream? I guess it would mostly come in as http reaponses, so it wouldn’t be too hard, but still an interesting problem.
