Don’t forget congressional insider trading!

The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.

Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.

Parrot with a dictionary.

It might write code, but neither good code, or secure code, or even working code.

For that, you still need professionals. Even management will learn. If they survive the process.

Well, shit happens if you let people develop security protocols without experience. But the car industry saved money by this.

Or the tree is already dead. Seen similar funghi on trees that were dead, but still standing.

I would not be concerned if it actually was a black hole of disillusionment…

The point is that this is all happening in a cloud. One that is probably located in the US. Not a good thing for a non-US government to send potentially confidential or even secret data to.

German as the native tongue. English for everybody from year five. Either French or Latin mandatory from year seven. Optionally Latin or French (whichever you did not take in year seven) from year nine, and then another one from year eleven, also optional, might be Spanish, Italian, whatever.

Nowadays, some of those language courses finish with international language proficiency certificates, so you can attend foreign universities right after school. My daughter got her Cambridge C2 there.

Calling out Republicans for lies and antidemocratic behavior is not “bias”.

Absolute easy here in Europe. Got two sets, installed them on the south wall (we have no balcony), and now we get up to 700W, usually 2-3kWh per day.

OK, wood. I think that answers the core of the question.

That’s what conservatives do. Everywhere. Ignore the problems, hen try to do a diversion.

I might be old, but I have not forgotten him. He is one of the root causes for what is currently happening in the US.

Still better than the current full steam ahead into fascism.

If there is nothing to love and hope for, people start to cling to memories of better times, if only perceived better ones.

I said I am torn here. Basically both sides are shit. I know this does not help.

Properly dealing with hate crimes is different from controlling the internet more or less in general.

Let the internet be free, but also keep it free from hate.

Reading the article, I learned that the author does not really have a clue what he is talking about.

A mechanical clock is anything but analog. Look up what an escape wheel is for if you doubt it.

For “analog is easier” keep in mind that it is very hard to get chip based circuits do precisely reproducable analog behavior. Indeed, this is one of the main reasons why we have digital computer chips: the output of the circuit is sufficiently unambiguous.

And “can run things in parallel” - That’s what e.g. FPGAs are for. One if my designs runs audio compression on 32 channels with a meagre 12MHz clock, among many, many other tasks. All at the same time.

I’m pulled back and forth with this one. On the one hand, 4chan is a shithole that should be taken care of. On the other side, UK laws that try to govern the internet are so overly deranged shit.
