It really isn’t. This seems like rewriting history for views, although it’s still an interesting read. This article is basically:

At the root of this reactionary thinking was a writer and public intellectual named George Gilder

- followed by an explanation of how his influence started and grew there, followed by a fair degree of mental gymnastics to how well-it-didnt-seem-to-be-there-but-it-really-was.

Societies change, I’m sure his and a number of factors less colluded that the article suggests also did contribute to it, but it wasn’t the same. IMO the biggest transition has been from Silicon Valley being fostered to create an investment hotspot to Silicon Valley being targeted by increasingly classist special interests that were losing their competitive traction because of how much influence its innovations were having on the rest of the world.

I can’t believe the US’ first dictator will be this diapered decrepit senile old scammer.

You probably crossed an admin and didn’t even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what’s behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.

Talk about a shitload slice of the irony pie, the industry that has not given two shits about intellectual property is getting undone by the masters of intellectual property theft and they don’t even have a recourse because of the bed they’ve made. Now, it’s time to lie in it.

Virtue signalling idol virtue signals, more at eleven.

It’s a practical monopoly due to how they’ve exploited their Android presence in the mobile market. The only viable alternative is Yelp. The biggest problem is getting people to jump on the same platform and to leave reviews, and Google does this with mobile location tracking, even prompting the user when they think they’ve been remotely near a location at times. Maybe it does need a fediversed alternative, it is quite the unaddressed monopoly.

confederation

… odd choice for a term … Nobody in the EU would define themselves by it …

Well, trying to use terms to justify the US confederacy post-Civil War aside, it would actually be better for a lot of states. The rest of the world can no longer trust and increasingly bipolar schizophrenic US, whereas that’s not the case for a certain number of states. You can’t overcome the deeply flawed and corrupt two party federal system, and it’s rapidly becoming even worse. If you can’t fix the problems from within, you will only be able to fix them from outside.

The US is going to screw itself so much, they are basically going to have to go full imperial just to conquer the resources they’ve screwed themselves out of. Huxley? Orwell? Na, Spaceballs.

He wants to get rid of FEMA to make it all about political favors so he can solidify his power.

I didn’t have a problem with using YouTube Premium, but Google is doing a lot of shitty practices. The latest is purging Google Maps reviews in collusion with local authorities for private interests. Maybe don’t be part of a shitty monopoly while trying to push this sort of bullshit onto us?

Her peers cordially shaked hands with them well enough… Nevermind the richest members of the oligarchy who funded and paid respects to their coronation personally.

Promote Mbin. The only bad thing it has going for it is that it cannot block entire instances, which is odd because one would think blocking domains would do this. It also has a number of pet peeves, but none I’ve found to be as bad.

People who’ve gotten samples are claiming that it’s basically like having a hairdryer in your system. This suggests that normal GPU positioning will interfere even more with the CPU in an air-cooled system. People might need to consider switching to AIOs, use specially designed cases, or just buy one of the water cooled 5090 partner models just to make sure. In normal configurations the extra heating is liable to affect CPU, RAM, and potentially even M.2 performance.

Their business isn’t put at risk, we are long past the time when there were Edward Snowdens. Any intelligence agency involvement would be highly localized, highly specialized, and highly classified. You’d have more of a chance of a CEO of such a service outing themselves by sucking up to Donald Trump than getting ratted out. There are plenty of services that at one point or another did price themselves as being the privacy option that were later exposed, usually because they came from more well known brands that just happened to run into the situations that would expose them due to market presence.

A CEO is a good indication of the internal company culture at the top. He may be as much of a libertarian as Elon Musk is a “free speech absolutist”, I’m not going to assume the best case scenario because I am not invested in proton and don’t have an innate sunk cost fallacy. I agree with that comment, “it seems like he might just be bootlicking whoever is in power as appeasement”.

I bet you go to sleep with it every night.

Translation: DOUBT! DENY! STRAWMAN!

Actually, I always had the notion that proton was focused on security until this bit of news. This isn’t some conspiracy, I stay away from any social network or email service whose CEOs begin sucking up to Donald Trump because it’s a dead giveaway of how the leadership of those services are willing to discard ethics and morality for profits and preferential treatment. With services like Proton, this would most easily be done by making concessions to intelligence agencies. A CEO isn’t just “one bad apple”.

Welp, if you ever wanted any confirmation whether Proton was really psyops …

I consider this rather foreboding for their SFF 5090 release. If anyone is getting one, seriously reconsider getting one from another manufacturer, the guy in charge of overheating concerns got thrown out the window.

That’s because you choose to. You could easily move to mbin, for example. This post made me realize I had been holding back on it without a good reason.
