- Comment on U.S. Chipmakers Fear They Are Ceding China’s A.I. Market to Huawei 1 day ago:
The policy damage is easily repairable. The reputation damage is going to take a lot longer. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, and the US has been shedding a LOT of trust recently.
Hell, you couldn’t pay me to cross the border right now. (Literally - my employer offered me a 20% raise to go work in the NY office and I laughed at them.) I don’t want to risk getting a one way trip to El Salvodore because some psycho with a badge doesn’t like the shirt I’m wearing, or whatever fucking excuse they use.

Decades. Lifetimes, even.
The US has shown that it’s not a reliable partner. Sure, the next pres might be sane, but what about the one after that? They’ve shown they’re more than happy to elect a con man and do sfa to keep him in check - they’ve done it twice now, so it’s near 100% that they’ll do it again.The entire USA is in FO stage of FAFO, and now China and Europe will be the players to watch. I mean, other than watching the US flush itself down the toilet to own the Libs, obvs.

- Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek 4 weeks ago:
Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 weeks ago:
Friends can still stream for free, as long as the server is paying for plex pass. That was my main concern, too, but they make a point of stating it directly in the release.

Ya, I’m not talking about extremists. I’m talking about just normal everyday people.
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 5 months ago:
Eh. Fits with what I see in politics, the folks voting for right winger, and my own experiences conversing with them IRL. I see no issue with making that assumption and then being pleasantly surprised the odd time it isn’t true.
Maybe it’s a North America thing, tho. It’s quite possible that the euro flavor of right wing is a more empathetic group.

I didn’t say they were “all bad.” I said they lacked empathy and I wasn’t interested in being friends with them.
Conservative and progressive brains are different.

Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351 In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352

I’m not sure that’s true. One side has empathy. The other does not. I don’t want to be friends with someone who doesn’t have empathy.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 months ago:
Yup. Idiots incapable of compromise, so they get nothing.
- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 5 months ago:
IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.

300sqft for $3500/month and they’re not even allowed to smoke?
- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 6 months ago:
I got permabanned from Reddit for saying “I wish we could bring back old-school stocks as punishment for whoever did this so the whole town could line up to throw rotten vegetables at them.” Apperently, that’s so radically violent that they had to permaban me.
