- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 1 day ago:
Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…
When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 1 day ago:
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 1 day ago:
Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.
What? No.
Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).
Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!

Funny that you emphasized this word, which has become such a tell of ChatGPT (along with “delve” and “crucial”).

Those charts are hilarious: wow, it gives the right answer 62.5% of the time and only makes up completely false answers 37.1% of the time! It’s like Russian roulette, but worse!

It wouldn’t take much; they had multiple breaches and other problems last fall, seemingly due to very avoidable reasons.

How is it possible that it draws 100W at idle? What is it even doing?

No, but can you make one with spacebar heating?

- Comment on Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop 2 months ago:
Good question. I imagine it’s too niche to make much difference right now, but I can see this eventually being a reprise of the display ad industry shooting itself in the foot by doing nothing about click fraud.

That sounds like the same kind of guy who will make a never-ending stink because he insists on BYOD despite IT’s objections.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 3 months ago:
I like Jason but he completely missed the boat on this one.
The active migration away from social media networks that are owned, controlled by, and distorted by the richest men and most powerful companies in the world to a decentralized platform that is not owned and controlled by billionaires is one of the more hopeful things to happen in what has largely been a bleak year for the human internet as AI slop infects everything and billionaires put their thumbs on the scale of what we see on social media.
He says this and yet jumps to Bluesky, a platform created by Jack Dorsey and now owned and managed by a crypto bro? You don’t need powers of prophecy to see where Bluesky is headed.

- Comment on Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams 4 months ago:
I can absolutely see how the greedy would get scammed by this.
Really? The only way that could sound more like a scam is if there were a chyron at the bottom spelling out THIS IS A SCAM.

I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.
- Comment on Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model." 4 months ago:
That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault
Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.

I’m certainly not going to defend anything Israel is doing here. Both sides in this debacle are bloodthirsty maniacs.

It’s not only in the article, but in the excerpt posted by OP.
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram Restrict the Use of the Red Triangle Emoji Over Hamas Association 5 months ago:
What is this even in reference to?
Seriously? Did you just see the word “Israel” and start arguing without knowing the topic at hand?

Did they use it as a targeting reticle in 1938?
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram Restrict the Use of the Red Triangle Emoji Over Hamas Association 5 months ago:
I don’t agree with this, but I do find it idiotic and tone-deaf for pro-Palestinians to co-opt Hamas imagery and a symbol of violence as a show of support. They are either bloodthirsty lunatics or too stupid to understand the implications.

Consistent duration can be assumed, because that’s how advertising works. The 15-second spot is still the standard.
