• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ByteDance to sidestep US sanctions by renting Nvidia GPUs in the cloud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this really sidestepping sanctions? My understanding of the sanctions is that they’re less about us not wanting China to use them, and more about us not wanting China to get their hands on the physical cards so they can reverse engineer them/fully own the computation done with them. Overseas rentals seems like the intended direction for them to go, because they can still use the computation power, but don’t have the physical hardware (plus they could lose all access to the datacenters in case of war).

  As someone who has basically come to see “memecoin” and “scam” as synonyms, I have a hard time having any sympathy for anyone who puts money into this shit. Everyone knows that the endgame of every memecoin is for the creator to walk away with all the profit, right? Enough incidental people win a bit of money to keep everyone gambling that they can beat the scam, but everyone has to know that they’re feeding the scam when they buy in, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  a consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options

  See, if it’s easy to cancel, then a consumer can leave your service, try something else, and then cancel that and come back if they don’t like the alternative.

  Also, imperative for who? Your bottom line?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BRICS leaders adopt joint declaration following summit in Kazan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Russia has no right to call for a “peaceful settlement through diplomacy” for the war of aggression THEY STARTED. They can peacefully end the war right now by getting the fuck out of Ukraine and allowing the borders to be restored to their 1994 locations. This is fully within Russia’s capabilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BRICS leaders adopt joint declaration following summit in Kazan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Member states also recalled national positions on the Ukrainian crisis, and “noted with appreciation relevant proposals” aimed at a peaceful settlement of the conflict through diplomacy.

  Remind me; who is the R in BRICS?
