Chaotic Entropy

"Extremist" is such a copout term... as if they're just eccentric rather than violent degenerates.

As ever, things that succeed with Musk as the figurehead succeed despite him not because of him.

I wouldn't pull that thread if I were you.

At most, Elon Musk is Tony Stark with none of the redemption ark that Stark got. That's assuming he isn't just the purse string holder that he is.

"I didn't make any money from this. A sad day."

It's almost like employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. Who knew.

"Let's talk about all the cheap Chinese labour that Apple uses despite being the 10th richest company in the world."

"Let's not."

"There could be infrastructure there, there could be tunnels there. We’re still looking into it.”

So... you bombed this refugee area, didn't give a fuck... you got the target you wanted along with a bunch of civilians. Now, after the fact, you are searching for more justifications than you had before the attack was sanctioned.

What the fuck. They may as well just say "tell us what you need to hear for this to be okay, and we'll say it".

I'm not going to say that Boeing had this guy directly killed, but I can certainly see them and their legal team explicitly trying to make his life as hellish as possible until he felt that he only had one way out. Legal threats if you stop proceeding with your case, legals threats if you don't, they want a terrible warning for any other whistleblowers.

"an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media"

Wow. That's... probably against their internal social media policy.

Half the time I look at a website or article it is just AI generated crap anyway. Oh you want a product review? Here are a half dozen articles that have summarised the Amazon reviews of an item, with no first hand experience.

The restructuring could turn the already for-profit company into a more traditional startup and give CEO Sam Altman even more control — including likely equity worth billions of dollars.

I can see why he would want that, yes. We're supposed to ooo and ahh at a technical visionary, who is always ultimately a money guy executive who wants more money and more executive power.

Why would someone wanting to store huge amounts of data to put it on a storage device that is the most fragile/short lived?

The centralisation of all web browsing in the hands of a handful of aggregated front ends that basically monopolise on content provided by other people. Goodbye websites and independent communities.

Hello auto generated websites that exist to push ads and optimise SEO.

Perkins said he tried to shoot the gun out of Mungeam’s hand, a skill he said he learned in training. The Republic could not confirm if officers are trained to shoot items out of suspects’ hands.

That... that's not a thing... and I guess he just kept trying after he kept failing to shoot the gun out of his hand...

What kind of "seen too many movies" bullshit is this.

Considering how prevalent scams and actively malicious content posing as ads are across ad services in general, having an ad blocker is just basic online safety at this point.

This shouldn't be a distraction from the core issue, but obviously people should cut this shit out.

You can't sneeze online without some sociopathic child threatening to slit your throat.

Edit: Annnd it was an employee of Unity that made the threats...

"A big hit" with people who desperately need accommodation that won't bankrupt them.

Is it so hard to remember that the Israeli government is an extreme right wing, theocratic regime.

The likelihood of your values aligning well with them or their spokespeople, even within Israel, is very low. They stripped their own supreme court of the ability to stop them doing what they wanted.

That adult humans knew what they were doing and had things in hand.

Again...?

Religious nutjob on power trip backs down because his bullshit is called out and his power is shattered. More of this, please

They were legitimately picking up an activity that they generally try to prevent. AMD was using a technique to apply Anti-Lag+ that was expressly monitored for, to provide anti-cheat.

Every person in a position of authority here is an absolute monster. I can only assume that all this is religiously motivated, with a keen focus on obeying your husband and respecting your father.

Cool... driving whilst pregnant is the latest thing to fear US police over then. Wait until the first pregnant woman is shot as part of a routine traffic stop checking for abortion plans.

However you feel about NFTs... this is horrifying for the people who were there. They've been in some cases blinded by this absurd level of incompetence.

I could have done without knowing that this was a thing. What a fucking world.

Oh good... janky oversold systems that do a lot of automation on a very shaky basis are also having high impacts when screwing up.

Also "Facewatch" is such an awful sounding company.

"altruistic"... fuck off.

What possible reason would he have to do that...? If he wins, he gets off scot free. If he loses then he'll claim that he won and is being suppressed for political reasons and then get of scot free.

Great... so we're reaffirming that society's various structures exist purely for the benefit of monied interests, as ever. Any benefit the regular person sees from arrangements is purely coincidental, your rights stop at the point at which a corporation needs them to.

Windows is the No. 1 OS amongst cocaine, heroine and meth dealers. Time for a crackdown.

If we want to outlaw tasteless and offensive music, we'll be here all day.

Famously so in Flint, Michigan. Lead poisoning in water and air is no joke and does serious damage to cognitive ability. Average lead levels in air are still painfully high and it does not go away.

I pretty much only chose Lemmy because of the promise of Boost for Lemmy.

"We need you to reconsider... because we already did it and we're just looking for your stamp of approval after the fact."

So I don't have to do any of what you're saying in your post, I just have to not do the weird stuff your wife does. Cool.

Will it make my ISP give me more internets to push through that WiFi? No? Then it isn't going to change my world, sadly.

"Hey Google, raise my children."

What a man. Loves his wife despite her not being white. So touching.
