If I offended anyone, I apologize. But man… People like you make this shit look bad (I know this is old, I just saw it).

I respect people’s choices with respect to gender expression. What I don’t respect is people who use that shit as a cudgel to censor opinions they don’t like that are entirely unrelated to that subject.

That person had NO pronouns listed next to their name. I frankly don’t clock people’s usernames before commenting so had no idea what their username even was. That said, one could argue that the name Emily implies nothing about a person’s preferred pronouns. Unless you know them personally, or they complained personally about this, then YOU are the one assuming gender and pronouns. Fuck dude, why am I even assuming that the person’s username is their real name? Oh no, I just said “dude” are you going to ban me?

Two people who have never seen/heard/spoken to one another discussing something on the internet, and one is supposed to, what, intuit the other’s preferred pronouns? What if Emily did not identify as a woman, and you just corrected me? It’s almost as if “cool man” isn’t gender specific anymore, and you know that.

Wish this woman could be our president.

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It’s not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

It’s really not.

And you do realize that you just demonstrated my point, right?

Yes there is. It’s called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn’t literally have an apartheid system.

South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can’t do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

And they’ve been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

It’s the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.

Two-state solution is not a viable path to a lasting peace.

Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD?

I’m probably not the right person to answer this, but my immediate thought was no. I believe AMD allows for open source drivers on Linux, which this specifically states Nvidia won’t be doing.

Looks like what “the future” looked like in the 80s and early 90s. Like Total Recall or BttF Pt. 2

I’ll defer to you on this as I’m by no means an expert. I suppose I thought there was more demand for young people who have that specific skillset than there actually is.

Again, it depends. Some of the most notorious hackers of all time literally had their prison sentences commuted so that they can work for the NSA (or US Gov’t in some capacity).

but cybercrime is a big no-no when it comes to actual employment.

Depends on what field you’re in. There are entire sectors of tech that seek out skilled hackers for things like pen testing.

Lol what a loser. Trying so hard to sound badass.

Literal decimation.

No we don’t, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism…

People: Cory Doctorow didn’t invent this concept. Read a book.

It will end up being like FreeVee on Prime for anyone who’s ever watched a movie or anything on there. They straight up randomly just inject ads in at random times, often not even during scene breaks. Characters are sometimes mid-sentence… Oh, and we’re back to the volume of the ads being 2x louder than the movie itself because I guess that law Congress passed way back in the day only applied to cable and broadcast TV.

It makes it nearly unwatchable. So get ready for that experience.

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe’s death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I’d give it 6 months.
