The answer to questions like these is always money.

The biggest news here is that semiconductor production is amping up in the states, which is good for national security and reduces reliance on Taiwan.

You can’t tell me what to do!

Apparently for some, this is where right-wing political philosophy starts and ends. Everything else seems to be retrofit around this principle, regardless of its rationality. Even if the party in question is giving you sound advice, like not to drink raw milk, and is doing nothing to prevent you from doing so if you please.

Yeah, and you can install extensions even if they’re not on Mozilla’s addon store.

They can either lose the Russian market entirely or capitulate to this demand, I think it’s pretty obvious what they’re going to choose. Mozilla may be an NPO but it still needs revenue to survive.

Can we also stop calling mods “reloaded” and the like when they’re really just visual updates? Nothing about that screams “reloaded” to me!

Calling into United:

Hey I see you charged me $400 for a replacement screen? Tell me, where did you buy the targeted ad data you used to display ads on that screen? Oh, an agency that I signed terms and conditions for at some point? Shit, alright then.

I mean, fuck United tho and they will not be getting and damn money from me.

I mean AI bullshit like Copilot being added to Windows then quietly paywalled, ridiculous products like the Rabbit R1, and the arms race involving products that aren’t ready for market or produced ethically. LLMs still just make shit up a lot of the time.

Yes. Tech is a hype-based sector where the actual value of products is obfuscated by marketing. When the AI craze settles down, hopefully we’ll stop seeing it injected into everything.

Alright friend-haver, no need to flex that hard on us

I get that, but that’s just the vibe Valve has to me.

I really feel like this won’t/can’t be enforced.

“Please, I can’t afford food or housing”

Media outlets:

Economy doing great!!! Inflation down and stocks up!!!

“Okay, I guess I’ll just fucking die then”

If he’s okay with genocide over there then he’s okay with it here

That is a gigantic jump but go off

This only makes sense if the people who think like you reach a critical mass, which they have not and very likely never will.

The choice is:

• Support candidate that is tacitly okay with genocide
• Support candidate that is enthusiastic about genocide and stripping away LGBTQ rights
• Say nothing and let the second candidate operate unimpeded by your opposition in key states

I mean… come on, let’s be reasonable.

It’s more like

Republicans are willing to bend the rules and cheat to get what they want

Democrats are cucks to the system that they think is perfect

Honestly, fuck both of them. There are no good candidates this election.

That just tells me that she is a psychopath who is only held back from killing humans by the fact that God might punish her for it. As an atheist, I don’t kill humans because I don’t want to. It would be extremely emotionally scarring for me. Apparently for her, it’s just a matter of “God would hurt me if I did”.

It also encompasses any support from medical professionals to do extremely simple shit like wear different clothes or change your hair. Also accessing gender-affirming support groups, therapy, changing your name and pronouns, or non-permanent hormone treatments.

This new law doesn’t ban all of those things, but it does go pretty far to limit what can be done and has a chilling effect on other forms of trans-related healthcare.

For instance, even if a kid wants to use a nickname that doesn’t match their sex assigned at birth, it has to be reported to their parents. Stuff like that is clearly just designed to make sure kids aren’t allowed to express that they’re trans if their parents don’t approve.

Almost 40% of South Dakotans have not critically evaluated Noem

FTFY. I refuse to believe that 40% of anyone would see what she did as justified. The only reason you would is if you want to kill dogs yourself, you don’t know what really happened, or you don’t understand why it’s bad and are giving her the benefit of the doubt.
