  • 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital

    Jump

  • I saw a bunch of articles in the past few weeks about seniors needing to work more years and the idea of retirement in the US "needing to change". Presumably because we are tossing out big chiunks or our labor force and probably social security will be gutted by the republicans.

  • Nvidia CEO pushes back against report that his company's $100B OpenAI investment has stalled

  • Yeah. Pretty fair analysis even though I dont enjoy that conclusion. I thought even capitalism was better than that. I would love to go back to my ignorant beliefs in the good of the common man again. And the basic instinct toward good of my fellow Americans. But you cant go backwards in life.

  • Democrat slams US justice department’s release of Epstein files: ‘we are witnessing a full-blown coverup’ – live

  • I think it says it in the constitution that congress should "hope" for compliance and "send letters" when they dont get it. No lawsuits, no impeachments.

    It also says in our laws that we cant send weapons to countries engaged in genocide, and that federal "agents" cant barge into your home without a warrant, that we are all are entitled to due process and representation, citizen or not, and that we are all protected from unreasonable search and seizure. I hope those merit a few lines of complain in his letter for the abusers reading pleasure.

  • The Texas Board of Education Plans To Force Kids To Read the Bible in Public Schools

    Jump

  • Isnt the christian bible pretty antisemitic? Have they ever bothered to read their bible? Jesus talked trash about the Jewish authorities of the time pretty much nonstop. Thats not even going into the events that led to his death. If politicians want to keep servicing Israels bribes I recommend that they DONT advocate that anyone read the bible. They should probably ban it.

    Similarly for Jewish holy books, Talmud passage Gittin 56a goes into details about how Jesus the Nazarene should boil in excrement for all time for mocking the Jewish sages. Thatd be another inconvenient thing to come up in school discussions, wouldnt it? We should probably ban that book too.

    Heck with it, at that point maybe we just keep religion out of schools entirely, how about that. Extremist idea, I know.

  • Between "no child left behind", epstein island involving pretty much the entire monied elite and political class, ICE raids, and cancelling health care and food aid for kids, I dont know what "for the kids" even means anymore in the US. Its almost openly a joke anymore.

  • Celebrating nvidias big investment in Israel didnt help either. Daily killing of innocents continues while he ships pallets of money over. He's not unique in tech CEOs being arseholes, but he's definitely another trash human being. The world would instantly be a better place without most tech CEOs.

  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

  • If my 3090 or mobo dies, for instance, I can send it to a repairperson and have a good chance of saving it.

    While throwing out working things is terrible, the cost of servicing a motherboard outpaces the cost of replacing it. They can possibly still charge you 200 dollars and tell you the board cant be fixed, right? I think the right balance is that you observe the warranty period, try to troubleshoot it yourself --and then call it a day, unless you have a 400+ dollar motherboard.

  • Love it. The fascists/religious nuts need to learn some respect for others ideas and stop trying to bully everyone.

  • As Trump Attacks the Republic, the Cowardly Democratic Party Still Won't Fight to Win | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • I've been yelling this for years. The scary thing for me is that increasingly "dems + lean dem" are no longer the majority and repubs have better numbers. And strong dem registration numbers shrink every year. Dems refuse to acknowledge or act on this fact, and its harder every year to define what "Dem" even stands for anymore. What is the Dem party platform? I used to be sure. Do dems support progressive taxation? No one knows. Now I think the DNC champions whatever viable minimum it can to win an election while sucking off the donors to the maximum extent. If they can win with 51% by allowing the rich to fuck us all over, thats the strategy they will pick-- they arent on our side.

  • We could at least have them removed from their leadership positions. That could happen today if 10 dems would call for a internal vote on it. Evidently we dont have that many willing to do the right thing. I wonder why $$$$.

  • Can anyone explain why?

  • the theory that distinct generational behaviors can be bounded in ~15 year increments (which you display nicely above) has always seemed a bit off to me.

  • Epstein was pretty obviously mossad but both russia and israel seem to both use the blackmail materials. Interesting how that woks from such a "staunch US ally" as israel is portrayed to be. How are they sharing this stuff?

    Side note, I suggest a change to english writing standards whereby loathsome words like "putin" or "israel" become exceptions to capitalization rules and are always lower case. "US" is an exception only because it breaks the writing flow and reads as 'us'.

  • Outrage doesnt work on the right. Their hatred for other groups far outwieghs any thought of policing their own. And I'd bet that will never change. They will happily use fake outrage on others though so thats fun for everyone.

  • when browsers overload the url field to act as a search field, can you blame people for not knowing the difference? To the users its become a distinction without a difference.

    They say that whats tolerated is whats encouraged. Browser software companies have encouraged people to be uninformed about the tool they are using. Easier to mess with them that way.
