One law, which took effect immediately, makes it illegal to distribute “materially deceptive audio or visual media of a candidate”

Genuinely fantastic.

in the 120 days leading up to an election and in the 60 days following an election.

…why would you restrict it like that…?

Now get out there and make me some goddamn money _{huh huh}

Note that some issue devices have VT-x disabled and the bios locked down by Corp IT for one reason or another, so a VM may not actually be possible from the work issue device here.

Tbh, just run the Ubuntu box headless and ssh into it. You can do anything you’d need to. Even better, swap it to Debian or something like that, because Ubuntu is unfortunately kinda undergoing gradual enshitification lately.

It really does beggar belief. They used to be THE one to beat. Now they’re hemorrhaging money and reputation, and figuring out how to deal with a multi-generational lithography deficiency - not to mention, the implications that that problem has on their lack of testing rigor, improper QC reporting processes, or both.

So, thank you, Finance and MBA assholes, for driving a titan of American industry into the ground, I guess. I wish you’d all get fired, but you won’t, I’m sure.

Yeah I’m still on my 5950X and it’s an absolute champ in terms of CPU load. Its second incarnation when I eventually upgrade is going to be a proxmox box.

My 3080 FE is starting to choke though… starting to get stutters and freezing and framedrops, and once in a while a full system lockup when I’m in Forza Motorsport… thinking of doing a coppermod to see if that addresses it, but I’m worried the GDDR may have just had to put up with too much heatsoak and might be going out :(

Get out of my head charles

She angry cuz she caught him gettin’ naughty with the LINANÄS

Russian navy:

oh god… seamen… seamen everywhere, in every compartment, inescapable. The seamen pervade everything. Save yourselves. And use cold water to get the stains out.

I mean, I rotate between games, movies, and series. But then again I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, so get off my lawn, you goddamn hooligans

Well, I blame your mother.

That is precisely what my username is referencing :) and I love it when people recognize it in the wild!

And yeah, I too was crestfallen when he passed :(

Edit: whoever downvoted you is an asshole. Like… why?

I Feel like this joke went over a lot of peoples heads

Lmao this is precisely how I thought this would turn out.

It’s a problem of psychology and scale. The communist system becomes susceptible to bad actors the larger the group becomes.

In point of fact: I fully agree that many Latin countries, absent US bullshittery, intervention, and fomenting of coups in the first Cold War, would probably mostly have wound up being successful.

But I absolutely do not agree that the USSR or the PRC should be held up as paragons of virtue of what a Communist system should be. They were very quickly corrupted by authoritarian leaders and cliques from the get go, which is genuinely antithetical to true communism.

I mean, I was already radicalized in that respect, but it’s definitely reaffirming that radicalization.

But also: I fuckin told you so. This progression was so blindingly obvious from the get-go.

To be clear, that was authoritarianism, not communism.

Poisoning data LLMs are using as training sets is a way of life. Make it a part of yours <3

They deserve to have absolutely catastrophic quarterly results - up to and including outright failing and filing for bankruptcy - until and unless they reverse course on this manifestly idiotic strategy.

Stream your games to your TV. It works great.
