And that just underlines my decision to quit Duolingo when it got contaminated with AI stop.

I can tell you from experience that AI was worse at teaching me a language than humans were.

Because Oracle sucks donkey balls.

There’s a lot of “chocolate” in the US that doesn’t qualify as chocolate in sane countries because it has too much wax or other additives in it. US “chocolate” bar in Canada has to be called a “candy” bar.
Same way their “milk” has too much other garbage in it to qualify as “milk” in Canada.

Lindt, otoh, is /actual/ chocolate. So it’s seen as luxurious.

Fascists gonna fash.

Yet another reason to look at non US CPUs going forward. Either RISC-V or ARM from Europe/Korea.

This. Only the server owner needs a plexpass.

The AI slop is why I quit Duolingo after my 1500+ day streak.

Yup. Same goes for being employed - if they’re publicly traded they’ll almost certainly treat their staff like absolute garbage.

The policy damage is easily repairable. The reputation damage is going to take a lot longer. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, and the US has been shedding a LOT of trust recently.

Hell, you couldn’t pay me to cross the border right now. (Literally - my employer offered me a 20% raise to go work in the NY office and I laughed at them.) I don’t want to risk getting a one way trip to El Salvodore because some psycho with a badge doesn’t like the shirt I’m wearing, or whatever fucking excuse they use.

Decades. Lifetimes, even.
The US has shown that it’s not a reliable partner. Sure, the next pres might be sane, but what about the one after that? They’ve shown they’re more than happy to elect a con man and do sfa to keep him in check - they’ve done it twice now, so it’s near 100% that they’ll do it again.

The entire USA is in FO stage of FAFO, and now China and Europe will be the players to watch. I mean, other than watching the US flush itself down the toilet to own the Libs, obvs.

So much this. Closest we get seems to be a Prius. :(

Hell ya! Whole soundtrack is amazing!

Understanding is a three edged sword.

Just fill your burner phone with dick picks. If Mr Fascist border guard wants to search it he’ll have to wade thru mountains of cocks and balls and gaping assholes. Though the gaping assholes won’t phase him - he sees one every time he passes a mirror.

Yup, Star Citizen runs perfectly under Proton. There’s even a script to get it as set up for you. https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

People still use Shitter?

Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.

Friends can still stream for free, as long as the server is paying for plex pass. That was my main concern, too, but they make a point of stating it directly in the release.

Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351  In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352
