He’s not wrong—Biden fucked that up good—but Trump kept those policies, too, something NVIDIA was shrewd not to mention. By the time Trump finally offered half an olive branch, it was far too late.

- Comment on Exclusive: US mulls curbs on exports to China made with US software, sources say 2 weeks ago:
My thoughts exactly. If you want to destroy the US software industry, this is a great way to go about it. Coupled with making it as difficult to get trained as a software developer, of course.
- Comment on Universities are embracing AI: will students get smarter or stop thinking? 2 weeks ago:
Dad taught college and got tired of this game. So he wrote his own book and students could print copies in the print shop for $10.
Now that I’ve gone on to teach college I’ve continued that tradition, except online for $0.
- Comment on Meta is removing its Messenger apps for Windows and macOS 2 weeks ago:
I avoid those desktop apps, anyway. I just keep them in browser tabs. Not that I frequent Facebook.
- Comment on I analyzed 200 e-commerce sites and found 73% of their traffic is fake 3 weeks ago:
I used to work in marketing as a dev and this shit never made sense to me. I didn’t investigate like TFA but I am 0% surprised by the finding. Incentives are all misaligned.

Yup. Haven’t used Word in decades.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been using it for years, too. I have it on my bookmarks bar, but this will certainly be better, I’d think.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 4 weeks ago:
It depends on how much separation you need. If you want different bookmarks, history, or settings per, then I believe you need profiles to make that happen.

- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
I couldn’t get Netflix to play at high resolution on my old Roku because of some DRM crap. And I was a legit customer! Once again, piracy would have provided a superior experience.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
I have a Kobo and it does OK. Nothing special.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
I will never, ever purchase a book I can’t remove the DRM from.
And there are people out there who are absolutely fanatical about book preservation. They will photograph every single page and run it through OCR and recreate an ebook just so it gets preserved. DRM is absolutely pointless and stupid.

Keep the donations coming. IA is worth a million times more to humanity than all of these publishers combined.

- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 months ago:
Way back in the day I was making $500 a month with AdSense ads on my sites. And then one month I started making $250 a month. I hadn’t changed anything. It’s a risky thing to rely on.
