I’m very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.

Don’t be a Nazi rapist. -impossible standards of the puritanical left.

Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won’t pony up for the optional shitty software.

It may surprise you to learn that social justice vs. economic justice is just about the oldest and most contentious debate on the left. Coming down hard on one side like it’s a neutral fact that everyone agrees with is the opposite of “bringing people together”.

It’s cool that you empathize with rednecks, try women and POC next.

This is good actually. The current standards assume that exposure to ionizing radiation is always bad no matter how small. The evidence suggests that small doses are absolutely safe, and arguably beneficial.

Panicking about small radiation doses has absolutely caused public harm and even death. Many people argue that some of the evacuations around Fukushima were overly conservative and ultimately more harmful than doing nothing.

Yeah, I generally agree with always believing a victim. But

This is going to be the legacy of Plantner’s campaign. Not that he was a fake-leftest, but that so many of his supporters turned out to be.

My mother, who used Office software her whole working life recently asked me, un-prompted to help her switch to something else. She was tired of the always online, always signed in obnoxiousness of Office 365. She was tired of looking for stuff in Onedrive. And the software had changed so much over the years, that she figured learning a new office suite wouldn’t be any extra effort.

Guns equating to freedom is straight up NRA propaganda. Do we really think people in Australia, the UK, and Japan are oppressed by tyranny?

The 2nd is the only “right” that the lowest government official can execute you for exercising. That’s what passes for freedom in America?

Europeans should be self aware enough to recognize that the most devastating criticism of Trump are direct comparisons to historic European tyrants. And forget about Hitler or Mussolini. Donald Trump at his worst can’t even measure up to Leopold II.

Yes, you can definitely trust the judgement and historical wisdom of a Jewish white supremacist.

I’m confused, why is Google telling customers they can’t use it’s AI? Can they not keep up with demand?

That seems way more interesting a story than Meta relying on a competitor.

IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire. Valve’s success is built on the recognition that customers are the source of success, rather than a resource to be extracted. Valve is bringing PC citizenship to console subjects. Just in time for the 4th of July.

There is no such thing as a “low information” voter. Someone who votes because Mars in retrograde is just as legitimate as the vote cast by the head of the dep. of Political Science. The idea that some votes are more legitimate or should count more (or at all), is authoritarianism and anti-democracy.

Curious to see how it works out when the AI companies need to grow exponentially to be profitable while their biggest customers are cutting back.

Trying to compare Valve to Sony on the basis of pro/anti-customer basis is a great way to embarrass yourself. Yea, Valve doesn’t have disks, so they’re the same right?

2 birds one stone. Not only will this effect the supply chain for weapons, it also contributes to the ongoing campaign of forcing Russia to move air defense further and further away from the front.

I can’t wait to see the launch of the next generation of consoles. Valve has been absolutely battered by being the first out the gate in this hardware market, and I’d be surprised if the next gen consoles are not anemic and expensive.
