Clickbait title. I don’t plan to be living over the next few centuries or millennia. There are plenty of reasons to not buy a beach house but this ain’t one of them.

This is an Xbox.

Until LLMs can build their own power plants and prevent humans from cutting electricity cables I’m not gonna lose sleep over that. The people running them are doing enough damage already without wanting to shut them down when they malfunction… ya know like 20-30% of the time.

Neither of those things are marketed as being artificially intelligent.

I’m just here for the free donuts.

I missed the voting but I’m happy at the result. These are good rules for this community.

The United States is comprised of 50 states so your hyperbole is going nowhere. Israel is a separate nation no matter how close friends the pair of assholes are. You have not countered my argument.

We weren’t talking about Israel. That’s why it’s whataboutism regardless of the veracity of your claims.

Where did I say they were THE big bad? I’m ok with hating all authoritarian regimes including the one I live under.

Why are you so big on defending their image?

Thanks for the whataboutism. Israel can go fuck itself too, they are worse at the moment.

I don’t need everyone else to be perfect to level valid criticism.

M’distro!

Please note the very real situation I mentioned above. That’s reality whether China wants to try and scrub it from history or not. The fact that they won’t even let their citizens discuss it is telling enough. They deserve the hate.

My country is in serious trouble but at least we never ran over protesting college students with tanks and then washed them down the drains.

I took the networking TCP/IP fundamentals class for my first MCSE in 99, and the instructor wouldn’t shut up about how IPv4 would be replaced within 5 years.

Microsoft marketing is the epitome of “fuck up, move up”, I’m convinced. I’m so glad I’m retired and don’t have to deal with any of that bullshit anymore.

They should work on getting it right for their own stuff, first.

You’d be very disappointed. Most of it is stuff you can get off usenet yourself, and the rest is documents and pictures nobody cares about but me.

My digital legacy is going in the dumpster, unless somebody figures out how to break encryption that I’ve never shared the password for.

Probate can figure out the rest.
