Yeah, he seems to think that the over-moderation is a good thing, and Cindy tries to convince him that censorship is bad and the answer instead is more like what you can do with the Fediverse, you can move servers if you don’t like how the server is moderated and who they federate with, but people are free to say what they want in their servers.

I think it’s for rough terrain, like carrying packs of supplies through war zones. So not full climbing but at least able to step over rocks and debris.

Both IBM and Oracle I haven’t really worked with because they’re heavily used by massive companies. We had an Oracle database when I was in banking that was because we were self hosting a loan accounting system. IBM does backend data processing stuff for massive companies like American Express and Bank of America. All of the smaller shops I’ve worked in have built things on Microsoft’s stack.

Balatro should just be renamed to Flush, every single time I win it’s because I use the “discard until you have a flush” strategy, and augment that with Jupiter, wild cards, steel cards, and jokers that give bonuses for flushes or single suits.

It’s more that local authorities are offering incentives to big tech to bring in those data centers, ostensibly because they think it will benefit the area, but more likely because it is benefitting the local authorities personally through kickbacks or campaign donations.

This is the first I’m hearing of Aurora, that seems promising. I’m guessing you’d use FDroid for anything that is available there but use Aurora for anything that is only on the Play Store?

Thoughts on pros and cons? Do you still install apps through the play store or are you using FDroid?

I think at least one class a day for some sort of technology literacy is important. Maybe some typing courses or web development or coding courses or graphic design or even how to create chat bots…

But as much as I’m into tech I agree that kids shouldn’t be staring at screens all day.

Hades feels like this to me. In fact the game dialogue seems to enforce this. I guess that’s why it’s considered a rouge-lite?

He doesn’t necessarily need to be a white supremacist to be a piece of shit jack-booted thug who gets his rocks off by committing violence against defenseless people.

These employees did exercise their right to unionize, but there’s no way to force employers to keep the union. A union just means that you can bargain collectively, and it should theoretically protect employees because what kind of scummy employer wants to fire ALL their employees, right? Turns out Ubisoft IS that scummy.

Most of this is just trying to justify the bubble by trying to make people think that “AI” is useful.

I guess the point is that it matters to the father since he hasn’t had a biological son and is likely too old to do so now, even if it doesn’t matter to anon.

Isn’t there some kind of sketchy corporate structure they could use to skirt this if they actually cared about data sovereignty?

“Sorry Feds, this data is actually held by Microsoft EU and not Microsoft”.

Or do they only do that sketchy shit for dodging taxes and protecting people’s data is a bridge too far?

I got to the final heart boss exactly one time and I can’t see any way that I would ever defeat it given it has 750HP and some other insane buffs.

I’m not sure it even matters because anyone who isn’t his supporter already knows and anyone who IS probably believes in alternative facts instead.

What the alternative?

It’s bullshit for companies to lay people off and retain H1Bs. The government shouldn’t approve any new H1Bs for development positions until companies stop the layoffs and the amount of developers searching for work goes down significantly.

I think there’s something in the text that says you have to be powerful enough to utilize it which is why it is somewhat tempting for characters like Gandalf. Even though it would also corrupt him.

I wanted to play this at some point but the prices never really came down on Steam enough.
