  • Trump vows to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status: 'It's what they deserve!'

    Jump

  • Man.. come 2028 I don't want to hear shit from Democratic candidates that doesn't involve an exhaustive list of all the awful shit Trump did and what steps they will take to undo all of it. Sorry chum, you picked a bad time to run so you don't get to have an agenda that isn't 'pulling Trump's dick out of this country's ass because it's fucked enough already.' Cause if you're not willing to undo this shit I really don't care what else you have to say.

    (Yeah, bring on the downvotes, I can take the heat.)

  • Are any of you not nerds?

    Jump

  • Everyone is a nerd about something. That's how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren't interested in, but they're also interested in stuff you're not interested in, so..

  • Mark Zuckerberg Thinks You Don't Have Enough Friends and His Chatbots Are the Answer

    Jump

  • The money flowing into their pockets from the bad guys is doing a pretty good job of convincing them that everyone but the rich are the bad guys.

  • Why is 'some rich dumbass says some stupid shit' still a headline in today's world? smdh.

  • Meta's Reality Labs Has Now Lost Over $60 Billion Since 2020 - Slashdot

  • TIL Slashdot is still around.. haven't been on that site since the early 2000s.

  • I'm not saying abolish social structures altogether, I'm saying change them, and we change them all the time too.

  • Oh. Yeah, it's very appropriate, it's just old-school internet slang I don't see much. :)

  • I wasn't disputing it, just marveling at how long it's been since I've heard someone use the term.

  • Turns out (from someone else's comment) that the service they offer is access to the paid faster download options on many sites for a smaller fee collectively than they would be charged per-site, so kinda no?

    Is DOGE actually about collecting information to train AI for Musk products than saving money?

    Jump

  • Oh no doubt, but the reduction in taxes and regulation will benefit all of them.

  • Oh, interesting. Fair enough, that seems like a useful service then.

  • The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis.

  • You shut your mouth, the 90s were definitely like 10 years ago right?! :P

  • Wow, I haven't heard the term 'script kiddie' since I used to hang out on alter.net/#hack on IRC back in the 90s.

    Jump

  • No, DOGE is about dismantling/looting the parts of government that are capable of regulating and taxing oligarchs in the name of 'saving money.' If they somehow do actually save any money (and with the recent removal of most of their 'successes' from the website even that is heavily debatable) it will just go into more tax breaks for the rich.

    Data harvesting is just part of the looting, but it's gravy, not the main course.

  • Sounds like a scam to me, 'cause all downloads are at 'the best of your internet speed' unless you're doing something on your end to throttle it. Reminds me of the bullshit 'Monster Cable' thing from the early 2000s, it was basically an expensive ethernet cable that purported to somehow increase your internet speeds. Yeah, bad ethernet cables can reduce your internet speed, but only over longer runs (unless the shielding is visibly damaged or whatever), but this thing was only 6' long so it was just a regular ass cat5 cable with a fancy paint-job that costs twice what a regular old 6' patch cable would. This seems like the bullshit software version of that.

  • What's your best habit?

    Jump

  • Yup. I'm fortunate that I don't have that gene or whatever it is, I love cilantro.

  • What's your best habit?

    Jump

  • I eat celery and peas, I like scallions in certain dishes, I get pickles and lettuce on my burgers or sandwiches.. I'm eating plenty of green stuff, just not that green stuff. I've never tried zucchini tho, will have to check that out.

  • The American democratic republic has died. It was 236 years old.

    Jump

  • That was in fact my point, yes, that capitalism needed to be replaced with something that isn't blowing up on the regular. But that's not very likely to happen until it blows all the way up and the 'silent majority' who are content and propagandized into inactivity discover just how fucked they are and are forced to wake up.
