Argentina’s peso slumps despite BECAUSE OF Trump’s financial aid for Milei

Fixed your headline for you

The current point of our human civilization is like cave men 10,000 years ago being given machine guns and hand grenades

What do you think are we going to do with all this new power?

It’s great because the internet was initially developed as a decentralized service so that if any part failed, the rest could maintain communications.

Over the past decade, corporations have been actively developing an internet of services that heavily rely on just a small set of services … and if any of them go down, everything is lost.

lol … communism is bad … unless they invest in your economy

It’s the legendary metaphor of the all powerful dragon that sits on his mountain of gold

We’d all like to think that but what usually happens is that the ultra wealthy lose a quarter or half their wealth, which makes no difference to anyone because they are so massively wealthy … everyone else lose everything

Libertarians do care about freedom … their own personal freedom … and it doesn’t matter to them if it costs the freedoms of others

It’s a selfish mentality where they believe that they should have all the ultimate freedom to do whatever they please, regardless if it hurts, degrades or destroys anyone’s or everyone’s freedoms.

More like a liability

Planned Obsolescence … designing things for a short lifespan so that things always break and people are always forced to buy the next thing.

It all originated with light bulbs 100 years ago … inventors did design incandescent light bulbs that could last for years but then the company owners realized it wasn’t economically feasible to produce a light bulb that could last ten years because too few people would buy light bulbs. So they conspired to engineer a light bulb with a limited life that would last long enough to please people but short enough to keep them buying light bulbs often enough.

That doesn’t make sense. I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney on my Ubuntu laptop on Firefox all the time. I have a laptop setup in front of my treadmill just to watch shows while I walk.

I have one large screen dumb TV and I just use a Roku device to watch shows through that. Everything else in the house runs in Linux because I got rid of windows years ago and never had a problem with streaming services.

Prosecuting war crimes are only followed or ignored by those with the biggest guns and bombs.

I did the same for a while using TrueNAS … I cobbled together every single spare HDD I had at the time onto my first true desktop PC (450Mhz CPU with a gig of RAM, in a giant box full of HDD that felt like a small heater in my office)… I think it was six or seven drives that added up to about 2TB and I felt like I had become Hackerman … I even set it up with Transmission to download a bunch of Linux distros I wanted to try as well as a ton on movies and TV shows I couldn’t get at the time. Basically the reason why I got back into watching all the Star Trek series after downloading all of TNG, VOY and DS9

I thought that for a while myself … then I started editing things with simple cuts and very few effects. They did build an entire movie industry for most of the 20th century on editing equipment that was no more complex than simple cutting and splicing.

That is a solution … but you have to wait about 50 - 70 years to see the result

I made the switch to Linux about ten years ago … mainly because I didn’t want to upgrade to the latest Windows 7/8 and I just didn’t have the need to use any Windows software … all I do is write documents, store photos, some light video editing and go online - why do I need any other OS? The only problem I had at the start was video editing … it just meant I didn’t do any. Now there are several options to get that done too.

The fun part was that my old hardware suddenly ran twice as fast with the latest Ubuntu at the time … and I haven’t look back since.

They are having a population crisis … an aging boomer generation that just won’t die and their many children who will add to the aging population while the generations after these groups had fewer children. The population is now full of old people with very few young Japanese to take care of them.

It won’t matter how nationalist they want to be … they’re stuck with the problem of having a huge aging population and far too few young people.

Whether they like it or not, if they want to maintain the country’s current level of development, they’re going to need young people from somewhere else to fill the gaps.

So you’re saying that we should do more AI searches for “Trump Dementia”

… and use variations of it like … “Trump old losing his mind”, “Trump old senile”, “Trump dementia don”, “Donny Dementia”, “Ding Dong Dementia Donny Trump”

I’m guessing this guy is still performing the demonstration tutorial that he started in 1999

Whenever conservatives argue or demand that something be changed because they want it to … you know that any change they make will only last as long as the money is flowing.

Which is why we will never be allowed to starve … not fed enough, not enough nutrition, constantly hungry … but never allowed to completely starve.
