While it would be based, they are not going to seriously accept Iranian ten point plan for any deal? They will take a breather, rearm and resupply and attack again during the negotiations.

I’m really starting to lean on the theory that this was not an rescue op, but a special forces mission to probably steal Iranian uranium. Explains why there were so many planes lost and why Trump is going apeshit rn with his movie villain monologue with deadlines. Why Hegseth also fired a bunch of generals, like gen. Randy George who likely opposed the idea beforehand. Trump is just obsessed on getting something over Iran that he could call a win and get a face saving option out of the war. Now his plan failed and he needs to double down.

it’s a good Friday

Yeah and they will keep begin bought by AI companies, even if the production sags. If the prices were unaffordable now they will be even more so if there is a real production choke. They can keep tossing few extra billions to keep the bubble going, you and I cannot compete with that.

It’s not like its really used on AI inference, but it’s used in high grade semiconductor manufacturing. so helium shortage will hit anything with a modern semiconductors in it. So it’s not “whatever”.

I for one are going to go shopping for used parts.

Kuwait is 90% reliant on desalination and it doesn’t have that many desalination plants. So is much of the middle east. iran doesn’t really need nukes to destroy and depopulate these countries utterly. Most of the middle east is both figuratively and literally built on sand.

Don’t worry, it’s not like this AI bubble is dependent on cheap energy prices or anything.

Duopoly, baby!

Mozilla doesn’t say what happens if you go over.

uses your saved credit card info to charge you in secret, of course.

Almost as if nonsensical brutal aggression with maximalist demands unites even the most fractured country behind it’s leaders and gives the hardliners legitimacy. The good old I might not agree with everything my government does, but I love my country more than I hate it’s government effect.

There are people even in high places who think scaling up production of like anything is just like pressing a button.

Oh, good.

I just avoid the AUR on Manjaro whenever possible. It still works 99% of the time. The few things I actually need to be bleeding edge I will just try to build from source.

But why? Just pick a new name and fork

They aren’t stupid to abandon the brand and community just like that and start from nothing. The team plans to start a nonprofit that will work alongside and not under the current Manjaro company. They do say that if Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG declines, or the feel that they are dragging their heels (which they have done) they will start a strike. They are doing this rn. If that fails then they will just move to the next stage which is to leave and/or fork the project.

I guess something needed to be done.

Regime change status?

I think they know that they have a shitty product that nobody asked and everybody hates, but they also know that corporations and institutions have their workflows and custom software stacks built on top of windows and therefore them and their workers are not very easily going to jump ship. Only thing they need to make sure of that they don’t break 40 years of backwards compatibility. Understanding that, why the fuck not just milk people? If it backfires, then it backfires, but even then Microsoft makes more money on Office 365 alone than they do from Windows.

X has 600 million users, Mastodon 9-10 million. Even if you assume 2/3 of Xitter are bots, that’s still 20x difference in reach. You should know that you and I are not “normal” for using Mastodon. A group of randomly picked people 9/10 will know of X/twitter, maybe 3/10 have heard of Mastodon.

Leave X for Mastodon

I hope they don’t phase X out, because that would be a social media suicide. Orgs, public personas and projects are not average users and can’t really care about personal preference or user experience, they only need to care where people are. They are there to get social media reach and just jumping out of Xitter would harm their social media presence and the project.
