But it’s 8 gigs of RAM on a Mac so It will perform like a Chromebook with 4 gigs of RAM.

CNN business article with a grammar error in the first sentence. I feel like Microsoft word would have caught this, how sloppy do you have to be to get a typo in the first line of your article?

I was permabanned from /r/politics for saying “pretty soon it’s not just going to be red hats talking about second amendment solutions” in response to the police walking down the streets of Minneapolis shooting at houses during the George Floyd protests.

Permanently banned from politics, reason: advocating violence

Tried to appeal by pointing at a number of other comments that talk about second amendment solutions and was just sent a copy of the rules from the sidebar in a direct message from a mod.

They’re not being trained to be elite troops the way that people mythologize the IDF who somehow managed to miss all of the warnings about October the 7th and can’t tell the difference between a baby and a bomb.

They’re being trained to be the enforcers of apartheid. Racistly motivated government shock troops don’t have to be competent or capable they just have to be cruel and follow orders.

Good. If he was doing something worthwhile and useful he probably still would be investigated but then he would have an upswelling of support.

These half measures make him eligible for sacrifice. We need prominent important powerful people to get targeted so they realize that they’re not safe any more than the rest of us are. We need them to have some skin in the game and if it means that a couple of these cowards get burned in the learning process then so be it.

You know that’s a novel and insightful musing that no one’s ever thought to share before.

It’s brave of you to go on Lemmy and suggest the solution to a Windows problem is to uninstall it.

I just discovered this guy two days ago and he’s great!

People will lose their jobs to AI in the same way that lumberjacks lose their job to forest fires.

I agree with what you’re saying, and I should have been more clear.

I’m not saying you have to send them money, but if you do let money leave your wallet, we should be trying to make sure it gets to a deserving party. I think in general, we should avoid giving money to extractive industries that don’t add value and I’m encouraging you to error on the side of sending that money directly to the artist/laborers and cutting out literally everybody else.

I agree with you in that no one needs to be sending money to Metallica.

If you send the artist money in the form of a check or a donation more of that money goes to the person who produces the thing.

It’s not possible to reach 100%, but every little bit of your dollar you ensure enters the pocket of a person who worked for a living is one less bit of that dollar that ends up in the hands of a leech or a parasite.

Giving Spotify or Google or Apple or whoever has inserted themselves into the system to absorb money for something that they don’t pay for is fundamentally not healthy for any part of the ecosystem of art.
