I thought billionaires are like über businessmen. How comes he cannot handle some competition?

She’s either lying, or you calculate in British gallone, instead of American gallon. Diesel never passed 3€/L in Germany, not even close.

Sea mines are indiscriminate weapons.

Probably not any laws, but the term and and conditions of those sites. When you sign up you probably agree not to use insider knowledge, or whatever.

If that’s enforceable, and if they have a case, I do not know.

Skyrocketing / exploding numbers doesn’t imply a majority.

A number can grow significantly and still be a less than another number.

Great. If you ignore that you still have a 40-50 years old car at that point. It’s not like EV was the only invention over the past 5 decades.

There’s ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn’t enough or doesn’t work.

We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,… and yet we’re here.

That’s actually quite easy to explain. Reddits entire monetary value (or at least a very large portion) depends on how relevant it is as platform to mine user interactions - to use as training material for AI.

Reddit getting references less is a sign that the models, or the owning companies, value reddit data less compared to before.

What about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 4chan?

You know why. Because the CEOs of the first three bent the knee to the facists already, and the last one is a breeding ground for MAGA.

This is just the next round of CEOs to be intimidated into submission. Some of them won’t need intimidation of course, spez will be happy.

Do we work for the same company? Exactly same story here. Also just botched the Oracle to Aurora migration.

Really. Japanese society has a lot of issues on its own, but there’s also a lot to learn from them.

IF Trump is an asset, those billionaires might find out that they are not quite as untouchable as they think. Because that’s how Putin consolidated power in Russia. He sent the richest and most powerful oligarch at the time to a show trial and labor camp.

French electricity leaves the chat in summer when their plants need to be shut down because the rivers are too warm or don’t carry enough water in the first place. And that’s nothing to say what they will do in the next decade years when a good portion of their reactors should be commissioned out.

And it’s only a matter of time until until he boasts about it by posting someone’s SN during an petty online argument.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation,includong the edit.

Coincidentally I discovered kwriteconfig by myself yesterday - but not the interaction with qdbus.

Thanks. I’ll have a look later, and will try to understand.

Scalability is not viability.

I don’t deny the possibility, but that sounds like a lot of foresight which I’m not ready to attribute to Trump or his team. Additionally I don’t think they care about “the people”. The voters served their purpose. They are meaningless to them now. They will continue to produce anger and outrage, and will extract as much money as possible while it’s still possible.

I think it’s a simple money grab. Just not a $25 billion one.

$25 billion, in paper. The value will be down to zero way before he manages to sell off even $1 billion from it. And thats a generous guess. Meme coins don’t retain value.

Making ANY money this way is outrageous, but we sooner solve world peace and world hunger than Trump being able to sell this off for the current paper value.

My impression came from headlines like this:

Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund
