This is a big one for me, I currently have NVIDIA gpus on all my machines, (i am going to avoid them in the future, the corporate price gouging is unacceptable) but at the moment that makes switching to linux for my gaming pc quite a bit more obnoxious.
This entire topic, and the scientific data surrounding it, is truly pretty complex and nuanced.

This links to a 10 minute or so section of the (very long in total) Huberman Labs podcast with Layne Norton going over processed food, sugar, and the obesity epidemic, and how we haven’t really done a good job educating people on the way sugar is interacting with CICO and the epidemic.
I think a lot of people curious about the subject can learn a lot from just that segment.
Been really annoyed by all of the beehaw brown outs, but I’m trying to be understanding about the difficulties of a growing platform.
Also been getting back into VR gaming which has been fun and made me pretty sore
The laws are the problem here, the FTC’s legal case and legal argument was dogshit. The moral one isnt, but that solution lies with congress and they are gridlocked on actual anti competitive laws by corpo-suckers that are only 75% republican

The WAN show is a great option for a one stop shop for broad tech stuff. It is often very long but they add very clear chapters to the youtube video that make it easy to jump to the stuff that interests you. Luke is a software developer/manager so he is fairy knowledgeable in that realm, and Linus is a very transparent CEO of a tech media company, so the coverage is actually very good between the two of them. Just dont expect in depth conversations about RHEL forks and node.js code efficiency and stuff, its very much meant to be consumed by regular tech enthusiasts and not hyper deep code monkeys.
This whole thing is so deranged it’s hard to choose what to highlight, but
Politics is about compromise" is liberal propaganda that has very little to do with reality
Ahh yes, the famous liberal propagandist, Otto Von Bismarck(politics is the art of compromise is derived from his quote “politics is the art of the possible”). I suppose Machiavelli is also a liberal propagandist for writing the Prince in 1512, or any of Jeremy Benthoms works. An entire branch of political philosophy is not propaganda just because you disagree with it.
The viewpoint that politics should be examined from a practical or utilitarian viewpoint is so much older than even the modern concept of Liberal Politics that it’s such a clear and intense revelation of your personal obsessive bias against modern liberals. Which is whatever, I’m sick and tired of not having true leftist representitives myself. But c’mon man this whole reply is off the rails.
You should really read more literature by people like Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn
Yeah, people who has a different viewpoint on political nuance are unread and not properly educated, this is definitely going to fix the problem. If I read rules for radicals again, maybe this time it will finally erase the information in my brain about political history.
I think its a bit more reasonable to say that “the centrists in France need to step the fuck up and realize that the left is a superior option to Diet Nazi”
There is no reasonable rational analysis where Joe Biden is a fascist lol. He’s a neoliberal and I think he sucks, and I truly wish for a different candidate for the Democratic Party. But there is no comparison there between him and the other guy. Not even the same stratosphere.
I think the world’s nation-states are widely adopting the “lesser-evil” faux-choice strategy these days. This is by design
Politics has been an exercise in finding compromise from day 1, thousands of years ago. Any, ANY, system of politics that could reasonably exist, will result in candidates that huge percentages of the country aren’t happy about. Now, I would LOVE any ranked voting method for this country to minimize this effect. We definitely don’t have an amazing system of politics. But “this is by design” is literally untrue unless you believe in some weird conspiracy thing. The US constitution is mega old, most of it’s failures are related to that, imo.
I think this decision is stupid and not particularly well structured legally. I do hope that it might lead to a better system though, one where schools examine a more appropriate factor instead of race. Race is a useful shortcut, and definitely the best easy identifier we have, to help the people who need the most help and have historically been fucked over, but i do think looking at something like two generational wealth will have the same impact but also include people who are struggling from other races. A more precise system would be ideal. Colleges are already factoring wealth or direct family income, they just need to restructure that approach.
I follow a lot of legal content and work in a legal field, but I am not a lawyer and this is just an opinion from the outside:
Trump has 2 wildcard advantages that make the outcome hard to predict.
1: this is being presided over by a judge who has shown incredible favorable bias towards him. Even with the circuit laser eyed on the case breathing down her neck to make sure she plays fair ball, there are simply a ton of areas where she can fuck the prosecution over and the circuit can’t do shit. This is the structural nature of federal court. The only thing holding this back from happening is that it would cause such a massive national shit show her life might legitimately be in danger if she did this. (I don’t not advocate violence In any way. But that kind of backlash would not surprise me or feel karmically unjust)
2: it only takes 1 juror. 1 trump fanatic to lie smoothly through jury selection, and then sink all charges by folding their arms. Now this feels unlikely just because the venn diagram overlap between “can make plans, lie smoothly, and stick to their guns through social pressure” and “Miami trump supporter” is very narrow. But it can still happen.
Other than this? Well intent, with someone like trump, who lies constantly for no reason about everything and doesn’t talk to or listen to his lawyers, is actually a pain in the ass to prove. That being said, the evidenciary outline the case opened with indicates that they have genuinely strong evidence to prove intent, so I think he’s sunk on this, especially when you consider he couldn’t really get new lawyers in time for the trial start.
It’s incredibly important to mention whenever discussing this: if he were literally any other person on earth he wouldn’t be treated so nicely: skipped mugshot, no bail, speedy trial, etc. And he would absolutely go away for 20 to life. I say this as a professional, not a partisan.
Wouldn’t this still be pretty massive at large scales like datacenters?
“The only will of the Machine Spirit is that of the Omnissian technologies, for the Xenos will deceive you and tempt you, but you will not falter, for you are a Priest.”
All hail the Omnissiah
Step 1: A backpedal to their roots, openness and FOSS leaning development. Allow reasonably cheap API access that still gives them some money from the AI trawlers but allows 3rd parties to function, stop blasting me with gigantic notification on my mobile browser to use the terrible official app every time I view a thread (or even literally forcing you off the page period if its ‘nsfw’ content like elden ring threads, apparently??)
Step 2: Focus on genuine usability. The official app is DOG ASS. The “new” reddit experience is a nightmare compared to old reddit. Videos STILL don’t load and run properly, after literally 5 or 6 years. Straight up embarrassing stuff for software developers.
Step 3: Take a genuine stance on moderation and content. Either direction; free-for-all where only the clearly illegal is removed, or tightly moderated with global rules. This current system is a completely broken mess, you’ll get the_donald literally breeding terrorists in the open for years, but I can’t use call another user an “asshole loser” without getting kicked out of a subreddit? I just dont think the weird federalist style subreddit system works all that well. Global, clear, enforced rules.
If they did these things I think I would return. The real crazy thing is that they could do all of these things and still increase profitability. If the official app was actually good, more people would use it, and the massive amount of calls home and data collection it does would be way more profitable. Jump on the bandwagon, make a reddit LLM chat-bot that is fed only on reddit threads, it would probably be genuinely decent. Or at least make reddit search work, you would siphon off a ton of google search traffic. you know. innovate, at all, even a little. The money would come in. But not AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE I WANT TO SCROOGE MCDUCK THIS SHIT levels, and thats what the ownership and (soon to be) shareholders will push them towards. So none of this will happen, sadly.
Apple. Not the most evil, for certain, but they have the highest percentage of high level business choices that piss me off. Just so antithetical to my philosophy and consumer preferences. All closed, all hyper controlled, low customization, anti-repairable.
Do it their way or go fuck yourself. Something break? Fuck you, it’s your fault, buy another one. Want to play games on their very capable hardware? Grow up, no compatibility. Want to make their OS work on other machines? How dare you. Thief.
