There’s a film that covers how they named Gleemonex:

Our Current State: Consolidated

Fucking everything in this country

All non-American citizens need to carry proof of their legal status.

Since this is illogical I guess we all know what they mean by ‘non-American citizens’.

It’s well worth reading the entire paper. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

The first decision has to be vim/emacs.

71 of the 76 bills that Abbott vetoed passed through both chambers with a veto-proof majority, or more than two-thirds support.

What is a veto-proof majority if he can still veto them?

It seems strange that they want to reconvene to deal with them instead of just making them actually veto-proof. I guess it’s probably about making minimal changes to the constitution.

Or to copy something and modify it 30 times.

This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.

The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

Zero chance this company replaced him with an AI that actually does anything useful.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

Well to be fair it’s:

Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation; and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario

It’s still embarrassing to throw AI in there.

Really what we need is a Minister of (dis)Information to stop foreign tech companies from fucking us over so much.

It’s such a good idea. I can’t believe they didn’t think of it sooner.

Now I’m thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

Just going to look for a picture of her, and… yep.

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

No details were provided on how the tariff would be implemented.

Lol. How do you do this without just making it a sales tax on tickets?

50% of this country forms their view of the world from what Meta Platforms, Inc. wants them to see.
