Putting some limitations on slavery.

Can we get Ludic to do this? Not a Brit, but he does have a way with words.

I don’t see why not, but it’s a lot harder to make a good case against Vance than against Trump (where it’s trivial to find plenty of crimes).

Not the first time. In the 1980s, Israel sought to undermine PLO (which wanted a 2 state solution) and supported a group opposed to PLO called, I believe, Hamas.

I think they’re both right. The government should cut all ties with Musk’s businesses, and Trump should be impeached. That way everybody wins.

It seems he wasn’t aware that his cult following came from the other end of the political spectrum.

Well, not quite the other end, but environmentally inclined business friendly liberals are still not quite Trump’s crowd.

From what I know, those agents can be absolutely fantastic as long as they run under strict guidance of a senior developer who really knows how to use them. Fully autonomous agents sound like a terrible idea.

Ooh! I need to look that up.

I recently wanted to send a file from Linux to an old tablet over Bluetooth. Can’t be done apparently. I can send it to my phone, a windows laptop can send it to the tablet, but my Linux PC apparently can’t. Still baffled about it.

The American obsession with bathroom segregation is weird. In other countries, women will sometimes use the men’s bathroom when there’s a long line in front of the women’s and not the men’s. Fathers needing to change a diaper on their kid sometimes use the baby changing station in the women’s bathroom if that’s where it’s located (though that’s increasingly being fixed).

This is not something that requires excessive legislation if you can avoid obsessing over other people’s genitals.

The Tates sell their “be a man” coaching package

As if he’d know how.

SO used to be really good in the past, but these days when I’m looking for an answer to a problem, I only unanswered closed questions.

Ah, is that the way to address that? I don’t run into incorrect error highlighting often, and it’s mostly great, but when it gets it wrong, it can be very stubborn about it.

Does it still run 30 year old apps? I was under the impression that a lot of DOS and Windows software from the 1990s ran better under Wine than on Windows.

Or is xAI paying for access to Telegram conversations to train Grok?

It’s worth remembering that there was a time when the highest US tax bracket was taxed at 90%, and that didn’t stop the US’s longest period of sustained economic growth.

Ridiculously high tax rates for ridiculously high incomes have been done before and are entirely feasible.

There are a few exceptions. JK Rowlings became a billionaire simply by writing some really popular books, and even stopped being a billionaire by giving much of her wealth away. As far as I can tell, she didn’t become an asshole until later.

I’m willing to say more positive things about him. His dedication to Linux is great of course, but I’ve also heard that people working for him get a lot of freedom to choose what to work on. And no crunch. In the games industry, that’s pretty good.

So yeah, he seems to me to be one of the better among the tech billionaires. But in the end, he’s still a billionaire, and he’s god that ridiculous fleet of super yachts.

There was a time the same was true for Elon Musk, before he suddenly decided to jump the queue. I really hope Gabe isn’t going down that path.

The parliaments don’t, and they don’t have the loyalty to the security apparatus that US Congress has.

Either way, this is a distinct and important difference between the US and the EU, and a frequent point of disagreement in treaties and discussions between the two. It’s silly to claim they’re the same on this.
