Carbonara was invented after WWII to use surplus bacon sent as food aid from the US and primarily served to American servicemen during reconstruction.

Biden is likely a true believer like most democrats (and republicans for that matter), Trump is the one who needs to be paid off.

Just in case it wasn’t obvious, Israel offered him a big chunk of real-estate in exchange for supporting their genocide.

Kind of hilarious that the comments in this post are doing exactly what the linked post points out as the big pitfall of studies like this.

It’s not stealing when corpos do it.

Meta torrented their training data from the pirate bay. Hell, Spotify initially built their catalog from pirated music. They all do this shit. Corporations are built to steal our shit and sell it back to us. This isn’t any different from pumping oil out of pubic lands and selling it back to us.

Are you suggesting that there is a use case for piracy that has less to do with saving money than it does with convenience and easy access to media in one place?

It is probably because I am a moron and just took a long time to figure it out, but its always harder to set up network shares with my linux desktop than any other machine in my house. At this point I know how to do it pretty well, but its a LOT more involved because none of the GUI tools seem to really work right.

Like I will share a folder from my server (also running linux BTW) and its instantly viewable on my windows laptop and even my streaming devices, but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

Yeah, cause its totally not end-stage capitalism to invest a trillion dollars into something and THEN figure out what its for.

I think its more that their power bills are going to go up 3x.

These guys usually name their shit after science fiction novels that they didn’t understand the themes of. This is likely named after the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons.

This, mainly so I can buy used when y’all upgrade.

If people don’t keeping buying our fake perpetual motion machine we aren’t going to make back the money we invested in building it!

Because the thing that makes American companies make money isn’t the production of better products its “business magic” that games stock prices. its been that way for a long time.

Star citizen is about to cross into a billion dollars in development “costs”. It might genuinely be one of the biggest scams in history.

Sure, if your concept of value is building a computer that costs quite a bit more than a better system a year ago.

Of course it will.

First question: “who won the 2020 election?”

Guess what the “right answer” is doing to be.

He’s trying to take the whole world with him and it doesn’t seem like anyone is going to even try to stop him.

For sure. Buying higher performance machines didn’t get us better performing games, it just got us lazy developers.

What’s funny is that ding this makes it kinda obvious how incremental a lot if improvements really were. Like on paper DDR5 is MUCH better than DDR3, but somehow my old gaming machine is only a little slower than a new system playing shit that I actually run.

Oh look, American tech is just to completely implode all at once, neat.
