It’s a little bit of a weird setup. There is a nonprofit portion and a for profit portion. If i recall correctly, the nonprofit owns the majority of the for profit portion. The nonprofit board is able to replace executives without having to worry about how it affects profits.

But they are trying to change that nonprofit board to for profit.

Didn’t they specifically say they would not work with the military?

You could revoke their corporate charter.

Correct. But the same goes for Bluesky.

I wish they would cite numbers proving this. Usage on another platform does not necessarily indicate an exodus. Bluesky may have seen a jump in users by a million but that only puts it up to 17 million users which is not much compared to Twitter’s 250 million daily users.

I also got that article recommendation and had a good laugh.

Wow. That is really cheap for licensing.

The term is subscription hopping.

The 7600 XT has 16GB RAM and goes for $320.

I was curious how cheap land was here in Washington. There is a posting of 570 acres for $815k in Riverside or if you want only 20 acres, there is land in Tonasket for $60k. Not really many people in either of those towns (not even sure Riverside qualifies as a town).

Current profitability is up. Profit margins are also up from last year. But I could see investors looking at the lack of any path after the current Xbox and wondering why they employ so many there. I’m sure other areas have also seen some stagnation.

They are functionally the same.

That said, a tax or fine would be easier to implement.

Correct which is why I mentioned it.

Probably not Pakistan but the Permian Basin in Texas also has a big methane emission.

Definitely something we should be looking to fine or tax.

We need to get a big group together and make an open source car. The company that bought Fiskers leftover vehicles can’t use them because Fiskers supposedly can’t transfer the servers to them.

The only surprising thing here is that it has taken so long for many people to realize this. I stopped using Google years ago because the first half dozen links were sponsored and the results that did actually pop up were complete shit. I knew it was much more than shitty companies playing the SEO algorithm. I switched to DuckDuckGo but I can’t say the actual results are a huge step up. But at least I am not spammed with unrelated ads or the search engine pushing scam products to me while purposely making the results useless.

I was actually surprised to know that data transmission is doable on ham radio. Not sure why I was surprised since data transmission is possible through pretty much any protocol but it was cool to know the versatility of what many see as pretty basic radio.

But if they didn’t get free resources, they wouldn’t be profitable!

Sadly that is the excuse many AI companies use.

Damn. I used to frequent that site all the time from my teenage years up through college and even relatively recently. Their articles were always very in-depth and well written.
