Microsoft: your computer, my choice

How often does a solution need “new” code and not “basically the same code as a previous issue but with two small details changed”? This is a genuine question, I have only ever coded as a hobby. But 25% of your work being essentially just copy pasted sounds plausible, and that’s sorta all LLMs are doing, right?

muh libs aren’t left leaning

And you expect me to take anything you say after that seriously

They… don’t though? Unless you’re pretending saying “voting for [not the democratic candidate] is a vote for Trump” is now apparently right wing and not just a basic understanding of how first past the post works.

Like, your definition is both wrong in terms of what right wing means, and not even descriptive of either. They’re just not tankie shitholes so I guess that makes them look bad to you?

Neither .world nor .shitjustworks are “right leaning” they just hate the tankies most vocally lmao. Neither would it make too much sense to call a tankie “left” leaning given their raging hard on for authoritarianism. I also think most of Blahaj would be offended by being lumped in with them.

The point isn’t that we’ll never get there. The point is we sure as shit aren’t there yet.

The west

Are authoritarian regimes somehow supposed to be more opposed to using children to promote heightened surveillance?

Private companies can be dicks. Public companies can and will be sued by their shareholders if they aren’t big enough dicks.

I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.

If only there were people desperate for a better life here, alive now, perhaps in a neighboring country or even entire other continent bordering the states.

It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.

My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.

I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao

Mind explaining to me why a vending machine needs to know the demographics of its users?

We’re just ignoring that a key part of taiwanese defense planning is self destructing the chip plants in the event of an invasion?

Certain departments specifically have IQ tests, in order to ensure you aren’t smart enough to easily get a better job elsewhere.

Re the second part: this works differently in delaware, where over half of all fortune 500 companies were incorporated.

Willfully ignoring the minor detail about ford being sued to stop enriching the lives of their workers says enough about how productive this conversation’s going to be.

“The best interest of the business” is far too lenient in its wording. Some of the shareholder derivative lawsuits out there are fucking wild.

Simple things such as “paying your workers too much”, “acting with too much emphasis on morality over capital gains”, it all does have to come back to shareholder profits, ever since Dodge Vs. Ford.

There were 250,000 “people” still playing overwatch 2?

If by “scummy” you mean “questionably legal” (obligatory IANAL), then yeah.
