One of the worst things we do as a culture is setting arbitrary milestones and then shaming ourselves or others for missing them.

Are you expecting to graduate? You’re better off than many who didn’t finish at all. You stumbled, you’re moving forward. You’re going to be fine.

No, it’s one of the first Linux distributions

Please don’t insult sex workers by comparing them with billionaires.

If I pay a stripper she’ll give me a lap dance. The terms of the deal are straightforward. If I give a billionaire money they’ll just fuck me over and ask for more money.

I’ll have to check out Swindled. +1 for 404 Media and Better Offline.

Oh, you say genocide and use of starvation as a weapon of war is against international law too? WE CANNOT HAVE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ISRAEL QUESTIONED.

Yeah, he has the ability to articulate what I was already thinking about LLMs and bring in hard data to back up his thesis that it’s all bullshit. Dangerous and expensive bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

It’s really sad that his willingness to say the tech industry is full of shit is such an unusual attribute in the tech journalism world.

Fair point, although the way things are going you might see investment in telecom connections between Africa, Europe, and Asia. Particularly with China pushing Belt and Road.

It would be hilarious if there started to be real competition in cloud services from nations in the global south, especially if they start innovating in a way that makes AWS/Azure/Google Cloud become low performance options.

If nothing else, real competition would make standards for cloud services more universal.

That doesn’t seem that complicated. Just functional polyamory.

So it posts all of that to the user?

Uni jetstream edge .28 mm. Uses an oil-based ink that doesn’t smear if it gets wet. Feels good in the hand too.

Also, the rOtring ballpoint pens.

Everyone has been in that space, and to OP’s credit, some folks react in a much worse way.

OP, you reacted in a way that may have looked odd from the outside but as long as this isn’t a weekly occurrence talking to your boss like the parent comment says should resolve things.

Well, except REAGAN of all people, who told them to settle the fuck down on Lebanon, called it a genocide, and got the IOF to back off.

Ronald “AIDS is no concern, fuck the working class” Reagan was better on Israel than Joe Biden.

Candace Owens and Dan Bilzerian as well.

To be fair I’m pretty sure Candace Owens is an antisemite first and a critic of Israel only because of that. Same with Dan Bilzerian, he apparently blames the Jews for the holodomor (the Soviet genocide against Ukraine.)

Yep, Whole Foods and the Pay ‘n’ Save, basically identical.
