We could always just not, and use whatever RAM we can get. I’d rather have a thriving market with slightly worse RAM than motherboards that require a RAM no one can afford.

Unsurprisingly, right-wing media is lying, claiming that these were lefties:

some conservative media outlets have seized on aspects of the story to imply that the plotters were actually bad seeds of the far left. One of the alleged plotters, an article in the Federalist argued, “parroted Democrat conspiracy theories about President Trump protecting child predators connected to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein”.

Also, Donald Trump does protect child predators connected to sex offender and former best buddy of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.

This sounds difficult for him. The number of crass jokes people feel compelled to make reminds me of what trans people have long had to suffer. When someone’s going through something unfamiliar to us, let’s not just reach for the cheapest shots but try to be a bit more compassionate.

Some prospective migrants complain about high immigration in their own countries or what they see as declining living standards, he says.

Worried about immigration and poor living standards? Become an immigrant in Russia! Conservatives aren’t great at thinking things through.

Because the alternative is to criticize Israel, and that’s so impossible for him to consider that he’d sooner hand the UK over to fascists.

There’s always Green. We need a serious campaign to promote the only popular party that’s offering anything different.

The truth is worse. They were helping.

Seems more likely RFK Jr. would go this way.

We built the library. Someone else started charging admission.

Capitalism working as intended.

Sounds like the USA needs more immigration.

It may not even be that they advertised kayaking to you. They may just have a very good model of your behaviour that predicts you’re likely to be interested in kayaking.

Almost everything just works after installing sandboxed Google Play Services. For a few apps you have to tweak a setting to turn off some of GrapheneOS’s exploit protections. But I’ve found very few that refuse to run, and nothing indispensable. If you don’t like your main profile having Play Services you can set them up under a second profile or a private area and keep the apps that use them away from your main profile.

Iran and the USA were in the middle.of negotiations and very near an agreement when Trump and Netanyahu started this war, killing the Ayatollah and many of the more moderate Iranian government officials who might be more amenable to an agreement. It’s not just a hypothetical but something the USA has done already.

It runs on theft and planet-scale destruction.

You could argue that this is the very nature of capitalism: theft because it always means owners extracting value from other people’s work, and ultimately planet-scale destruction because it depends on infinite growth while externalizing (not paying for) the true costs of its activity.

In that sense, AI companies are just a faster-growing strain of the global cancer that is capitalism.

the AI/drobe warfare age.

Is a drobe used in war a wardrobe?

“The skilled craft segment of every economy is going to see a boom. You’ve going to have to be doubling and doubling and doubling every single year.”

Doubling every year? For how many years, Jensen? Enough for all these people to finish trade school and make a decades-long career? And how are the AI companies who already can’t see any way to make a profit going to fund this exponential growth in their costs?

He kicked all the remaining left wing out of the Labour Party at a time when left-wing policies were very popular with the members. He has overseen some pretty regressive social policy, particularly in catering to transphobes. He’s a liar and has no charisma. He put Peter Mandelson back in a powerful position though he was known to be a bad guy and an Epstein associate. He has taken Labour to the right, abandoning its base while offering nothing but more of the vaguely Thatchery stuff the UK has suffered from for decades. He committed the government to more austerity than even the Tories had dared to implement, at a time when poverty is a massive problem in the UK. He handed chunks of the NHS to Palantir. Conservatives don’t like him and left-wingers don’t like him and no one trusts him. He’s been so uninspiring that the electorate is sleepwalking towards fascism. Plus there’s the Israel thing and the crackdown on anyone who expresses sympathy with Palestinians. It’d be quicker to list what he has done right.

Edit: This video shows why he was so unlikeable:

They also need to stop handing the UK and its people over to Palantir.

I expect it’s still such a tiny proportion compared to those using stock Android and iPhone that the dip in traffic won’t even register for most sites. It’s just an inconvenience for those of us who use privacy-focused phones for now, but it’s also one more brick in the wall being built globally to lock us out of online life.
