The current leadership in the US is, uh, less than equipped to handle day to day functions, let alone a real crisis. It will be quite bad.

Yea, the best thing for bubbles is to pop early and often before they start snowballing. These companies have negative net revenue and are burning billions. The tech is neat, but I don’t think text generators are going to completely revolutionize industries the way the industry is presenting them. NVIDIA giving OpenAI money to give to Oracle to give back to NVIDIA just screams house of cards.

Next time you’re out at a restaurant, keep in mind that American restaurants for the most part do not give their employees sick days at all. Bon appetit

Country music is just as commercial as any other music these days. Nashville is a machine that pumps out corporate friendly garbage.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 4 weeks ago:
Not really. My home network doesn’t have any port forwarding so nothing is exposed. I have a VPS, but nothing really important is on there, and I pretty much exclusively use it from home. Anyway all those failed logins were just trying default logins like user admin password admin. If you have a strong password or ssh key it really doesn’t matter, but I just hated knowing people were trying to get in, even if it was just half-assed attempts to find a unsecured machine.

If you can disable IPv4 on sshd then it really isn’t an issue. I know, security through obscurity isn’t robust, but when I had sshd with IPv4 enabled, I was getting around 6 - 10 failed login attempts a minute. People iterate through all the possible IPv4 addresses since there are only 4,228,250,625 possible addresses. There are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible IPv6 addresses, so the chance of someone randomly stumbling upon your address is fucking astronomical. When I disabled IPv4 a couple years ago I’ve had exactly zero failed logins that weren’t me being a sloppy typist.

They probably just hinted. These companies are eager to please Trump. Remember the trophy Tim Apple gave Trump? Capitalists love fascism.

His worth is mostly from Tesla. Tesla’s stock value is absurd and divorced from their market share and earnings.

The religion of the Israelites wasn’t even monotheistic at first. Yahweh was one of many gods.

His origin story is too on the nose for a movie. Like a rich, gay, foreigner who grew up on an Apartheid uranium mine?!

I think that just like Elon with Twitter, the value is not in revenue but controlling the narrative.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 5 weeks ago:
Yea a lot of people didn’t like the new bland logo, but conservatives were going on about how it’s an attack on their culture and heritage. This is why it doesn’t matter that Charlie Kirk was shot. If it wasn’t that, the outrage machine would have turned to something else.

- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 1 month ago:
It is probably just a packet of seasoning. The 15 bean version comes with a seasoning packet inside. They don’t add it to the beans.

Every bag of dried beans I’ve seen tells you to inspect them for rocks, since they are an agricultural product. I’ve never found one though.

It’s a common talking point among the right that there aren’t really that many mass shootings in America if you exclude gang violence. Y’know, which is done by and only effects those people
