There was a lot of publicity a few weeks ago about “the year long cruise” that ended. I haven’t tuned in, but apparently quite a few people on the cruise vlogged their travels. There were apparent conflicts, and with both sides wanting to say their part I’m sure more misery was shared publicly than one would normally air. This might just border on reality TV though, I haven’t really looked into it.

Meta has a new plan

Let me stop you right there

I wish somebody would donate Microsoft to the recycle bin

Can you detail your VM setup? I’ve tried Windows 10 on several occasions using Qemu and VirtualBox and the UI lag has been complete ass, even after installing the driver packages for each VM host.

We got click-baited into reading about Microsoft doing shady shit with their browser default settings (again, no less!), but that part wasn’t even mentioned in the article.

Is that you, Sam?

I said not normally, meaning yes I do (and just did), but in this case I do not feel bad because Sam Altman plainly sucks ass and deserves to cry for his numerous blights on humanity.

What is the point you’re making?

I wouldn’t normally make fun of someone’s looks, but this guy is a boat anchor on humanity. There’s enough cheek there for three orangutans

I believe you are thinking in terms of a Turing-machine-like computer. I don’t think it’s possible today to “suspend” the bits in a quantum computer. I also don’t think it’s possible to know if the simulation could be paused (or even “added to” without losing its initial state).

I’ve had better luck after enabling the systemd nvidia-suspend.service (only for Nvidia cards, obviously).

First, you need to separate power hungry crypto from AI, one provides a real benefit while the other is a useless fiat that can be accomplished without dumping gigawatts down the drain. If you want to trade crypto that’s fine, just don’t use a vulgar amount of society’s power to do it.

Never a missed opportunity to grind the poor into the dirt, am I right republicans? Oh, but they’ll lobby for billions (with a fucking B) to give away in government subsidies to AT&T and other broadband providers all the while abolishing Net Neutrality.

If you have any illusion to think republicans are helping you at all, look no further than their jaw dropping history in telecom policy.

I had to think about this before it became apparent to me as well. Adobe is and probably will be one of Figma’s biggest competitors and they just let Adobe see how the secret sauce is made. At least they walked away with a fat check for it.

All you little tech companies out there need to be alert. Be it Adobe, Apple or some other tech giant: if they come knocking with a proposition to acquire you with a check that has stupid number of zeros on it, they might just be stealing your IP while you’re giving them the full tour of your company only to leave you high and dry afterwards. Guess it only makes sense at least when it comes to Apple and Microsoft stealing all that precious IP from Xerox PARC.

Will definitely give these a look, thank you for the updates.

Can you speak to your experience with any of these? Would love to hear a first hand account!

Would really love to but have yet to see basic phone functionality covered in a way that isn’t a painful compromise. Stock Android is a privacy nightmare, which is why I left it. I had some fun with Cyanogenmod back in the day, maybe there’s another de-googled Android distribution around today but since I last checked I couldn’t find one that runs on modern mainstream hardware without really jumping through some crazy hoops to establish root.

Kim would give your data to Satan himself for a can of Pringles

Guess you forgot the other 20+ charges Kim Dotcom plead guilty to over the decade before he decided to host.

Embezzlement ✅

Selling stolen property ✅

Data espionage ✅

Who the fuck takes up for this moron? He’s obviously a shit weasel for life.

Peak comedy is someone believing convicted felon Kim Dotcom is going to treat your data or privacy with an ounce of respect.
