I wonder how many people per year you can move with that amount of money applied to light rail.

Small price to pay for people to have their funny memes and deep fakes.

This capitalism looks and smells a lot like good old USSR style communism.

All his decisions can be reversed by the next president.

And then reversed by the next next president. Do you think this kind of trust violation blows over just like that?

The orange Cheeto threatened to annex a fucking European country. And nobody in the US told him otherwise. The Democrats seem to be too busy eating popcorn and waiting for elections.

Can someone please put a responsible adult in charge of that damned organization?

Yep, time to wipe my Epic account.

Well, good luck with that. :-)

Whatever it was, it was temporary. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Take all those billions and go unfuck Teams. Thank you.

– millions of office workers

That will most likely never happen, so stop lying to yourself.

Bring back Geocities next.

As they say in my county: “go and die far from here, so I can’t smell you”.

On the other hand, all I have in my Epic account are the free games. I expect those cost his company money.

Even so, I feel dirty and will close my account. I can get the titles I really like in Gog or Steam.

Selling artificial intelligence to natural idiots.

I have the theory that MP3 played a part in the death of rock music and the rise of hip hop.

Guitars and cymbals sound awful when compressed to 128kbps, as it was common in the early days of Gnutella and Napster.

Music with vocals and beats sounds much better at those compression rates.

Should not have allowed them in the first place.

I tried Tidal and could not go back to Spotify.

I guess it also depends on what type of music you are listening to. Simple FM pop or hip-hop works fine compressed. Rock, classical, melodic or more complex music gets the high range completely smashed by artifacts.

True, idiocy is universal. You can see the roaches crawling out of the rocks already.

I don’t think it would be much use other than emulated computers/consoles/arcades.

I heard about Fex for x86 emulation, but never tried it myself.

Small computers are more powerful than you think, if used properly. I stick with a bunch of containers instead of VMs and it all just hums along nicely on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Pi-Hole running all the time barely registers as a workload.
