They can get a phallic shaped rocket from Bezos. I wonder who is going to supply the volcano lair?

For all the US bitches about piracy costing the industry and jobs, they sure do a fucking terrible job about policing stuff like counterfeits that can be tied to real numbers of economic harm (because people that buy those were actually willing to spend money). eBay is rife with counterfeit media sales and Amazon ain’t great either. I’ve never tried third party sellers from others but I’d bet that Walmart, Bestbuy, and others have a share as well given the ones I see selling “new” items that haven’t actually been produced in a decade.

If they’ve already got a 4B there’s no reason not to use it for one of the many low-power low-profile uses, especially when the cost of PC components is going nuts now

And because they cheated and were allowed to get away with it

How many high-rise libraries do you see? Weight is absolutely a factor in data center design, as is airflow/heat

You joke, but heat does rise and a tall building would need to make extra concessions for cooling concerns, while also dealing with the issues if weight. Large racks of servers are actually quite heavy, which is why many datacenters in i.e Toronto were built in an ex parking garage

Yeah, that’s kinda like asking your mechanic neighbor “why don’t you design and build your own car”. Sure with enough time and money somebody could do this but it’s likely to cost more, take longer, and have issues that an experienced producer has already come across and accounted for.

I mean, for the fascist thing Trump is probably like “damn right I fucking am”. He’s been admiring other fascists for quite awhile.

Now if you ask him whether he sucked off Bubba, on the other hand …

Article source is a dead link

Not only that they have the money, but Google is actively working to lock down their streaming platform (YouTube) against third-parties and they have basically yanked the rug for their OS platform, while adding requirements for developers to sideload.

Their entire direction is antagonistic and in opposition to the core concepts of FOSS

This was my thought as well. A lot of what has come to light feels like he may have been more than a customer for Epstein and possibly a supplier via his businesses and Russian criminal contacts

Christian-supremacist would seem more accurate

Yeah I honestly found the timing of that suspicious given Bibi’s trials coming up and plummeting popularity at the time.

I could see the same with 9/11. Various people didn’t need to actually be involved with terrorism so much as “let it happen” and plan on how to profit from the response

I had to double check. It’s based on Linux and Open Source Software, but the UI is proprietary.

DT is probably just thinking back fondly of his last visit to North Korea.

“Hey, what if I did that?!”

I would love to see a SailfishOS phone like Jolla’s gain more widespread market/sales

Corporate execs: “is there a way we can speed up the process of turning them into oil after that? After all, dinosaurs don’t have human rights because they’re not human”

Honestly if he really is ill, I very much wouldn’t put it past them to off him themselves and blame the “radical left” in order to kick off the civil war they keep trying for.

The next few years would end up being “weekend at Bernie’s, Trump edition”

Yeah but there’s different stages of crazy. There’s “micro-managing credit-stealing dick boss” level, and then there’s “help foreign enemies hack the government while throwing Nazi salutes” level.

Initially, he looked to be on a similar level up Jobs or many other narcissistic upper-management types in a gadget-cult, which - sadly - is not so uncommon and that many people accept
