Perhaps she shouldn't have proudly orchestrated a desperate attempt to build trump up at the expense of an actual competitive candidate, then?

Go away, Clintons. You're a pestilence.

Apparently it IS possible to make IC's at home, obviously nothing approaching 5nm transistor gates and therefore the equivalent of lego blocks to precision machined parts... but anyways:

(apologies for the YT link.. I'd much rather link a service that isn't totally enshittified) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrEC2LGGXn0

I mean.. yeah layoff a whole bunch of people and start treating your employees like replaceable commodities.. then go ahead and arrogantly deploy technology you don't understand and :surprisepikachu: everything breaks.

But management get to do things without personal consequence, as they'll just lay off more workers to cover their absolute incompetence and things will continue to get worse.

Perhaps we should be replacing C-suite dipshits with AI's instead.

CDL drivers have been required to speak English since 1936, though.

Why do unqualified idiots always wind up in charge?

schumer has been a sack of shit for about as long as I can remember.

At this point, why would anyone do business with broadcom at all?

The same thing that is powering most other political figures, all of which can be termed "Populists"

People are angry about a number of things. The wealth gap is very large, they are constantly told that the reason they aren't doing well in life is because of their own failings, whilst they watch elites with political access get away with things they can only dream of. They're being told immigrants and/or AI's are coming for their jobs. They're being told they can't have what their parents or the wealthy had because Climate Change, or because inflation.

This generates a great deal of friction, which in turn pushes people to radicalize their beliefs. You can't continue to sell a liberal, centrist viewpoint of the world when it simply isn't working for them. They might cotton on to "dumb" ideas, but this does not mean that they are stupid. It means that they are angry. This is is demonstrative of a deeper problem that is being very deliberately ignored or papered over, because those in power have a vested interest in keeping the gravy train running for as long as possible. The sheer scale of the problems we now have to deal with are exceeding the kinds of moves and actions most Western politicians have learned over the years, so we aren't getting appropriate results out of our political apparatus.

In times such as these, many people will look to the past for ideas on how to deal with their current situation. They sometimes come back with bad ones, sometimes they come back with good ones, and the pre-existing power structure will do everything it can to resist both of them, because to change is tantamount to completely losing grip on power for many of the people invested in the way things are. They cannot adapt, and once gone they will never get it back.

So we have a kind of a worst-case situation with a maladaptive leadership, extreme public resentment and actual natural/physical catastrophes forming a kind of crucible that this civilization needs to endure.

The trumps/erdogans/farages/orbans/lukashenkos/putins/meleis of this world are symptoms of these issues.

The elephant in the room here is that hardly anyone has a disposable income to spend $90 on an AAA game title and potentially thousands in hardware on which to play it.

Shelter, food, healthcare and power costs have increased too much. When the basics can't be met, people stop spending money on these additional things because it makes the difference between eating or not for a week.

Yeah, then they lose all their best and brightest who are disappearing off to work on their own things.

All these idiot C-suite trash will wind up holding is a bag of yesterday's technology, a mass of obsolete infrastructure and a bunch of brands they've helped destroy.

And from Reddit to the New York times and TMZ, it's absolute bullshit, and nobody is fooled.

ah yes.. "I was only following orders" - Otto Adolf Eichmann

What a piece of shit. I hope he gets the book thrown at him.

After watching that video, there already is a problem. Assaulting an elected official is a felony and the ICE officer that did this needs to be up on charges.

So far the atmosphere here seems far more cooperative and optimistic... like a certain other place circa 2008.

I'm liking it, it's a breath of fresh air and I'd forgotten that smell.

@TheDude@sh.itjust.works - Keep commercial interests / astroturfing etc. off this place like our lives depend on it!

Yeah, kinda funny how it's OK when there's a bunch of neoliberal gangsters like larry summers behind it, right?

No.

I've already decided it is, so I don't care what they say. I also refuse to purchase games with digital restrictions management like this - franky, these days I have better things to do with my time.

Yes, Eugene Debs, please.

• who was basically jailed on political pretexts but still..

Give me something like Talos2 with a full OSS firmware and a performant CPU... and hell, a half-competitive open source graphics core too. It doesn't need to be peak performance, it needs to be good enough.

I've been trying to work with SBC's for a while for video decoding platforms and just wound up getting stuck on x86 because the ARM situation with weirdo custom kernels for anything useful is just... annoying.
