I really think it’s capitalism, consumerism, individualism and decades of exploitation and propaganda more than the lead. Lead will make a person slightly dumber, angrier and more impulsive, but not as dumb as American politics today. Don’t give the fascists lead as an excuse.

It’ll be China.

Only Office has a UI very similar to Word. I generally prefer LibreOffice for its functionality, but Only Office has an easy layout for Word users to learn.

Like Android? It’s getting more closed every day.

The worst thing I’ve found with the algorithm is that it continually tries to steer me towards right-wing crap like Jordan Petersen and various manosphere posers, even though I watch a lot of LGBTQ+ and Marxist channels. And if ever you come to YouTube with no account on a clean machine on a new IP address, it pushes almost entirely right-wing propaganda videos.

Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don’t, or maybe they’d prefer to sell it to AI companies too.

We’ll be getting the opportunity to rent low-powered cloud computers at premium prices, and if you want to keep your data that costs extra.

Using your money.

Shut up and get back down the mines or your robot manager-security-cop will have to terminate you. Meet your billionaire-enforced quota and you’ll live to enjoy another day of mining.

Next: game companies can subscribe to NVIDIA anti-AI-cheating AI. This is innovation under capitalism.

Also those companies: Wait, AI isn’t allowed to steal from us!

It’s not even their own content. Google took the search results from the sites they crawled and scraped.

Lawmakers will make exceptions to allow E2EE for their own communications and those of the very wealthy.

Remember how, before the internet, intelligence agencies by default didn’t know what anyone was saying to anyone else face to face or by mail, and had to actually work to find out? The country didn’t fall apart. Why is the standard now that everything must be handed to them on a plate? Did they just get lazy?

Not just the tech industry. A huge proportion of the US economy is made up of betting on AI. Like the crash of 2008 (but worse, some predict) it will hurt everyone but the richest, who will become even richer.

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code.

That doesn’t sound wise.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they were giving their own arms and legs, but they seem to be giving ours.

That’s been the thinking for the last couple of decades at least. But it can’t continue if people can’t afford new hardware.
