Two decades of “just learn to code bro”, will do that to a profession.

It’s for the people who usually buy the Pro but don’t actually use any of the Pro features and just like having the expensive iPhone because it’s a status symbol. It will do well. I myself would buy it were it not because I have an iPad Pro and would rather prefer a smaller phone.

Edit: I know status symbol in this context is used as a derogatory term usually but I mean it in a descriptive term. Same reason many buy a Rolex vs a Casio which is just as durable and tell the time fine. If you have the cash and don’t mind the compromises, go wild it’s a gorgeous device .

I don’t think there’s a figure out there but a big percentage of the GOP that resisted outright got voted out by MAGA. Many of them either left politics or became democrats. Money was more a secondary factor I think; keep in mind that Trump, even in its second term, had a hard time finding funds compared with the democratic establishment. Kamala had a lot more money to campaign with than Trump and still lost.

Reminder that republicans resisted Trump too, even a after it was evident that he was going to win. Trump didn’t let that stop him and ultimately he remade the party in his image. The old guard will always resist change. But there’s a real hunger for the kind of policies Mamdani represents among the people, and as of yet, the power still rests ultimately on the people.

Trump is the ultimate case study on how to gain power against the establishment in the US, the left would do well to learn his playbook.

Didn’t your parents teach you to never leave the house without your pocket bologna? sheesh

Ok but when did I ever say that they are equally bad or anything of the like? I said very specifically “the democrats are not any better in this respect”.

In this respect.

Once more: In this respect.

Reading comprehension.

Also partisanship of any kind is disgusting. Thats the real problem in American politics, the abhorrent tribalism fed by the two party system. No progress will happen while you continue to feed this system because both sides are not willing to solve the underlying root issues. Both just want to put bandaids on problems and continue to preserve their power. If the democrats know they will always have your vote no matter what, they have no reason to fix any issues. Which is why for the past few decades they have solved jack shit. So vote democrat but just like MAGA isn’t afraid to vote out their so called RINOs you should not be afraid to put a boot in the ass of democrats that only serve corporate interests.

I really resent the implication that democrats are any different in this respect.

Well the Xbox app that suspends Windows processes is a reaction to this threat. The threat not being Linux in general but SteamOS and Proton specifically. I don’t think anyone imagined it would be gaming that would usher in the era of Linux but it does seem that that will be the case.

This is 100% not the advice you are looking for, but if you don’t need the service to have a domain I would consider just using Tailscale. It’s pretty damn good.

Sir we do not make reasonable points in here, you’re supposed to hate AI irrationally and shut up.

I think the facial recognition bit of it is what makes it novel.

Under your argument the smartphone was not an innovation, it’s just a computer you carry in your pocket. And actually computers are not an innovation they are just calculators that can make a lot more calculations at one time.

It’s kind of disingenuous.

Is it really unoriginal? If it is patentable then it is as original as one can get in an already very developed technological market. I’m not saying I want this out there, but that doesn’t mean that what they are doing is wholly unoriginal, especially if no one has done it before.

I mean they are a bunch of things but I wouldn’t call them talentless.

No. I wish that were the case though, then I wouldn’t have any reason to dislike them. But being that It isn’t the case, I’ll continue my campaign of hostility against gringos.

Bingo. Someone making 120k makes 5 times the median here. I know about 3 people of my age that own a house and 2 of them left for the US. The other one came from a well off family and was well connected. But the housing market is hot hot hot. And the supermarkets now do their promotions in English.

Maybe not in US cities. But I’m not talking about the US, I’m not even talking about cities. More like towns with heavily distorted markets thanks to expat parasites.

Third world problems but it’s true.

This is a good thing.

Fuck these kids getting overpaid remote jobs destroying the housing market of poor countries like mine.

Everyone else’s but theirs.

I just want to point out a lot of you actively support this if it helps curb “hate speech” or fascists or nazis or whatever. But what can be used against the guilty may be used against the innocent so it is best that we do not allow it at all. Either all speech is free or none of it is, there’s no other way.
