While I hate WhatsApp on principle, it’s the primary form of communication in a shocking number of countries. Last place i saw it used like this was Costa Rica.

Yeah, we all need to be minority women of wildly varying income levels. Make the “great replacement” fuckers shake in their boots!

Agreed. I’ve been on it a little longer, and while it’s been noticeably refined, I’m just not a fan. To me, it kind of already looks dated.

They can. Once.

To a point, yes. While you’re still using air to cool the water, I think it’s still a little more efficient than blindly keeping the server room at a low-ish temperature.

There are a lot of things that should’ve happened. I was comment on what did happen.

OpenAI underestimates how much the US hates women.

I get it, there wasn’t a proper primary. There also wasn’t time for that. Plus, how many people bitching about the lack is a second primary actually participated in the first ones? Besides, it’s not like she would’ve been VP for a very old president, right? Also, I get it, she was another corpo liberal. More of the same, right? Would’ve been SO MUCH WORSE than what we got. All those people making excuses for why they didn’t vote for her can fuck off. In my eyes, they own a bigger part of this mess than the people who actually voted for our current Emporer.

Yeah, seems like a desert isn’t the best place to build something where cooling is a critical factor! Or building something that uses massive amounts of chemical treated water for cooling in a place that has had water scarcity concerns for generations, now.

I recall a handful of Jobs stories about user experience. Not sure how much of them are true, mostly OS and HW use things he griped about. Of course there’s also the open letter he sent to the music industry lambasting them for how they were treating customers. Sure, it was a play to bring more money to the iTunes store, but he wasn’t wrong.

The email may have been corporate speak, but the in-person all-hands certainly wasn’t!

I know I don’t want to dig into this, but that one part of my brain is all….

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Nord. They are kind of disliked here because they’re not open source and they did a lot of commercials not long ago. Despite all that, they’ve publicly reported multiple third-party audits of their code, which I think is a good thing.

You lasted longer than me

Not at all surprising. Didn’t I just read about another CDC study that says using this preservative had no correlation to autism?

I thought Omnivore was sold.

Also, isn’t pocket being renamed to something? Odd having it listed as an “alternative” to itself!

It’s really telling that their fear is causing them to spend so much on security and separating themselves from the masses rather than, I don’t know, acknowledging the grievances of the masses and spending a paltry percentage of their wealth to solve some widely recognized societal issues that government can’t or won’t address.

Seriously, the cognitive dissonance on display is mind boggling when so much of the population sees you and your kind as greedy leeches, and your response is, “They’re simply wrong!” as you pump obscene amounts of money towards your security, bunkers, and electing politicians who will protect your widely despised position in the world.
