Yeah, no.

Narcissists and antisocial types have weaseled their way into positions of power since time immemorial.

They will continue to do so.

Doesn’t mean fragile ego management and oh my real estate is devalued jackasses won’t fight for return to office tooth and nail.

Nah, it’ll just force an evolution of adblocking methods and tech.

It’s interesting to me that that has to be repeated so often. It’s really not a little known fact.

It’s like those “I turned this piece of cracked waste wood into this fantastic resin table” videos.

The many buckets of resin in itself costs thousands. And they only passingly mention that the resin was sponsored.

Poor?

She’s making bank having to do nothing and anything that runs X into the ground is easy to point at Musk.

She has an absolutely sweet deal.

The bizarre thing, whenever you write it out like that on Reddit, good chance you’ll get downvoted to hell.

But count me as one of the club that does persistently sound his name out like that.

The guy is the walking definition of corporate weasel.

Software patents need to be shorter.

Hardware ones I think can be as long as they are, but need loopholes and tricks closed that allow for extending patents on the same thing artificially.

Best would be to have many different categories with vastly different duration and the durations need to be reviewed periodically.

Like the fact large parts of x86 is still patent protected is an obscenity.

If you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.

I’ve been using Gentoo for ages, as I’m a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.

Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.

I’ve found that installing a third party app store will get you actually good GPS, text, callblock and other apps.

They may sometimes not look the greatest, but these apps that aren’t on the mainline stores tend to be the most fullfeatured and accurate.

More like scientific tool apps than dumbass user apps.

An AI image is a result of a technology, which falls under copyright.

A method to generate AI audio is the technology itself, which falls under patent law.

These are two entirely different things that should never be conflated.

I don’t particularly hate my voice when played back.

I just don’t recognize it as my own voice at all.

Depending on how extreme the NO! answers are, they may delay it or split the 100$ DLC in 2 50$ DLC, which you both have to get to actually play the game.

Lol, they can FINALLY shut down /r/iskissingerdeadyet

I have some alone time with my wife.

I got a company to install an extra consumer grade internet connection with a different ISP on top of the main (already redundant) business one.

Sold it to them as being best for redundancy and to make sure that if sync traffic between our 6 locations was heavy, it wouldn’t impact the main line.

The main line was actually more than sufficient to handle 100x the heaviest traffic we ever had. We were right next to a university, which got us a hookup to the national backbone on fiber (this was in the age of T1 and T3 lines being the norm, 2 of those 6 locations had to make due with 256KB lines), so it was rock stable, blistering fast and because it was backbone connected, utterly and completely unrestricted and unmonitored by third party.

But the advantage of consumer lines in that period was that cable and DSL were starting to become common for consumers, at speeds comparable to most business internet lines. These also usually had dynamic IPs.

This was simply so my and my colleagues internet and at the time Napster traffic wouldn’t show up on the traffic logs and wouldn’t be identifiable by our official IP range :p

That’s part of what makes them attractive to some of their audience.

People like Tate are the embodiment of toxic masculinity, in Tates case, a sex trafficking jackass who beats woman for fun.

But they also tend to be truebred narcissists, so their arrogance and violent rhetoric are all just that, noise and bravado, when push comes to shove and they have to stand up to someone their own size, they scurry away like rats.

They mentally and physically assault vulnerable woman because they can’t handle anything else.

Because they are such weak little asswipes, they overcompensate by being horrible to the few people weaker than them.

I’m glad that when I was the age these sick jackasses tend to target, I was listening to batshit insane David Icke and pre-far right yet still clearly nuts Alex Jones.

How fucked is that. Having to be glad you were “only” exposed to those two when you were exiting teenhood.

They squarely target teens and young men who don’t know anything yet.

And they overload them with smart or cool sounding bullshit at such a high rate and form networks of similar minded “influencers”, so they can cross reference each other pretending what they say has any validity.

And as this article states, they are great at warping factual information to fit their fucked up views.

Unsurprisingly, people like Tate are very high on the narcissism scale, these people tend to be dumb as dirt, but master manipulators and charismatic towards their target audience.

You and me look right through that facade, but impressionable young people don’t always.

Is that some sort of import tax or an absolutely insane sales tax?
