Yes, collective punishment, i.e. trump gets elected.

The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn't have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie's filibuster.

To combat this I think drivers, firmware, etc. should be acknowledged as being in the same category as spare parts, manuals, repair tools, etc. They are equally as vital to being able to repair your device, and therefore should be open sourced at the latest when a manufacturer pulls support. Of course I would prefer them to be open sourced immediately, but with how software IP works currently that seems like a pipe dream, especially for devices with very complex drivers, like GPU's.

Ah yes, the old "Communism is when no food" non-argument.

But they do it stochastically, so you only have a suspicion watching gives you fewer ads, but aren't 100% sure

IMO this should be the case for everything developed using public money, looking at you, pharmaceutical companies...

Even if it's just playing back videos, it still should compensate for the distortion of the spherical display. That's a "simple" 3d transformation, but with the amount of pixels, coordinating between the GPUs and some redundancy, it doesn't seem like an excessive amount of computing power. The whole thing is still an impressive excess though...

Who do you think the profit of increasing the price tag goes to? The workers in the factory to help them deal with inflation, or the rich shareholders?

It is bias laundering though. They hide behind an "objective" algorithm, which was trained on a huge dataset of past ~~biased~~ hiring decisions.

Agreed, and I respectfully disagree with everyone else replying to you.

Relying on your car for your job is a much wider criterion than driving as your job. In car-centric places like the US (outside of the big cities) that's probably 99% of the population. Couple that with the piss poor social safety net and losing your license literally means starvation.

This still doesn't mean I endorse or agree with people driving distracted in any way. If revoking someone's license meant removing them from the road but not destroying their life, I would do that in a heartbeat.

And they force you to use it if you want autosave, which is essential in a work environment given the stability of MS Office programs (or at least my ability to crash Excel).

I don't know what happend the last few years with Lunduke, but it seems like he went down the conservative/conspiracy rabbit hole and now I don't trust anything he writes anymore. Please see for yourself, this article is a good starting point: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/the-tech-industry-hates-you?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
