It’s not that.

It’s just that models are trained on writing and you don’t need to train a lot of white supremacy before it gets redundant.

You’re so full of shit, this isn’t a recession.

This is a proper depression, just like the last time people fucked with tariffs.

KDE connect is a life saver.

Cancelled pushbullet for it, it’s incredible.

That’s literally what I’m saying.

Are you being semantic?

They realized the revenue as dividends, which is exactly what the link says.

The TCJA generally eliminated taxes on dividends, or repatriated earnings, to U.S. multinationals from their foreign affiliates. Dividends of $776.5 billion in 2018 exceeded earnings for the year, which led to negative reinvestment of earnings, decreasing the investment position for the first time since 1982. Tables 3 and 4 provide information on the country and industry breakdown of dividends.

By country, nearly half of the dividends in 2018 were repatriated from affiliates in Bermuda ($231.0 billion) and the Netherlands ($138.8 billion). Ireland was the third largest source of dividends, but its value is suppressed due to confidentiality requirements. By industry, U.S. multinationals in chemical manufacturing ($209.1 billion) and computers and electronic products manufacturing ($195.9 billion) repatriated the most in 2018.

He wasn’t successful at anything.

He slashed the corporate income tax and due to an effective amnesty on repatriation many large MNCs brought stashed offshore cash and cut R&D to register massive earnings for his last 2 years.

Ironically, this started to dry up right around Q1 2020… Then COVID drowned out everything.

His response was to just pump $4T to employers with almost no documentation, thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

Actually, it was the Palantir Gotham threat model… which has a backend to a private chatgpt model :(

Feckoin.

Hardware accel just seems completely broken, that and downloads to the app.

I mean, they added a ton of features, especially minor or niche ones, but a lot of amazing ones like KDEConnect too.

But what makes KDE the best is that the features don’t get in the way of core functionality anymore, the basic DE is always safe and they generally layer stuff on such that it doesn’t break anything.

So basically the opposite of most of modern software nowadays.

Yeah, my rack is a beast too, especially since it runs 24/7.

I have PGE though, so I get absolutely reamed constantly, they play a lot of games so my solar helps me as little as possible.

Oh, I had a whole-house meter connected to my smart meter by zigbee, but then PGE disabled that a few years ago.

Worst part of california :(

I know, but im at an age that micromanaging all my phone apps just isn’t fun anymore, I jailbroke my first iPhone 3g and that was a nightmare, I try to stick to stuff that won’t break much.

In any case, I have a working methadone for reddit, and as lemmy gets more popular I’m finding myself less and less dependent on it.

Thanks for the tip, I should have tried it earlier I think.

I have normal sized hands, I just love huge screens and can single handed text on most, I used the note series since forever except when I went LG.

But reddit canceled their api and trying to use Firefox for it sucked major ass, the vroser version of the site is barely usable at all but damn if I was going to use their Spyware app.

I had the 3, it is so insanely fucking narrow.

Like using an iPhone 4 or something.

The pixel fold I have now is great, usable in both form factors.

Hayes boys represent.

Do it, it teaches you things.

Most of your power isn’t going where you think.

I grew up in the midwest. For a long time I considered myself a conservative, I think I partly still do.

But I consider myself a McCain conservative, I think Bush I did an incredible job, he helped dismantle the cold war MIC, put eastern Europe back together with basically 0 blood, and the 90s were the golden age for America. Clinton did good too.

The problem is, in our success, we let the worst plagues of Pandora out of the box.

After the midwest my family moved to the south, and it was a caricature. Patriotism, Christianity, these weren’t virtues to live by, these were proof that you were superior to everyone else.

I’m brown, and even though I was born here, it was always clear I was and could never be “A Real American” like them.

But the way they treated black people was really the worst, they even joked about it to me like I’d find it funny.

They don’t understand the concept of democracy, it goes against their religion where they are the chosen people and everyone else is evil for denying that.

It’s a legacy of the confederacy, after the war we kept the slavers out of power for 10 years, then made a deal to let them back in exchange for Van Buren, and they’ve basically recreated their shadow confederacy under the name Jim Crow ever since. Hitler explicitly wrote about how they were the model Germany must follow in Mein Kampf, and the Nuremberg laws are just Jim Crow without the 1-drop rule (Germans weren’t racist enough for that).

We were able to ignore them as long as we have because they had no voice and their damage was contained in the South, but social media made them a pestilence that can be directed to any target, and they are so impossibly ignorant and proud (and proud of their ignorance) that you don’t need AI algorithms to send them to destroy democracy, they basically follow pro wrestling rules.

I got my family out and I’m glad, but the rest of the country is basically doomed, nobody is fighting them like they need to be fought, because they can’t see the evil first hand.

Here’s the thing: we can get an epi shot, and recover.

Then, like fucking inbred morons, we’ll scoop another heaping spoonful of peanut butter back down our gobs and go right back into anaphalactic shock.

The south is the problem, until we deal with them we will stay in this endless cycle of evil narcissistic morons like W and Trump, each getting worse and worse as we go on.

He’s not the problem, that’s like blaming a wolf when you invite him into a henhouse.

The South is the real problem, they literally will give anything to have Jim Crow back, they were so enamored with racism they switched parties just for that single issue, they love racism so much it makes them hate America, at least any America that stops them from being themselves.

Was on KDE 2, KDE 3 was absolutely incredible, ran it on Mac when it was supported on xquartz.

4 was a mess, but got better, 5 & 6 are fine, but it’s overall far better than any other DE, it’s just so customizable, the only other thing that comes close is xmonad or something.
