Mac is very similar to Linux in that it comes with bash (these days zsh) and a lot of the command line tools you’d expect on Linux, including gcc

No it doesn’t.

The gcc command is a wrapper for clang, and the clang command is a stub that runs an executable used to install the “Xcode Command-Line Tools”

It also uses the BSD coreutils, rather than the GNU coreutils present on most Linux distros. The two are only compatible up to functionality defined by the POSIX standard, and anything beyond that is an inconsistent mess.

Windows is more difficult. The command line is very different (it inherits from DOS instead of Unix like both Mac and Linux). It doesn’t come with Python pre-installed

If you limit yourself to not using WSL, sure. WSL 2 runs an actual Linux kernel with the same Linux executables you would find on any other distro.

It’s still Windows and full of telemetry and AI garbage nobody wants, but it somehow manages to have better Linux compatibility than macOS.

Even Musk, for all his recent evil got rich trying to reduce our dependence on gas cars.

Everybody else already covered his role in Tesla, so let’s look at something else that demonstrates his concern for the environment and his fellow species:

He has a datacenter in Memphis running 35 “temporary” methane generators to power Grok, the self-described “Mecha Hitler” AI. All but a dozen of them are being used without permits for permanent generators, and none of them have air pollution filtration systems installed. Oh, and it’s near a low-income community that was already plagued by air pollution.

“Every accusation is a confession.”

Fuel efficiency—the measurement for getting more mileage out of the same amount of gasoline. Congratulations, MAGA voters, you played yourself! When you pick up that new pile of trash made by Ford or Stellantis (and I know you will because they’re AMERICAN* cars), I hope you enjoy the higher gas expenses that you voted for.

* With the extra irony being that many of those “American” brands are owned by Stellantis, which isn’t even headquartered anywhere in North America.

they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it

This complaint is missing the forest for trees.

Special classes of people have existed for as long as civilization has exited. Leaders and followers, kings and peasants, the wealthy and the poor, etc. As animals, it’s in the nature of some of us to desire a greater share of resources and luxury at the cost of depriving others from having the same.

An article repeating the notion of people with specific skin tones are part of a privileged class isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of the problem. The problem is the bigots who put that into practice, singling out and causing problems for people with specific tones while providing benefits to those with other specific tones. Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity, it’s just going to get rid of discussion about class disparity. The racists will still be there, being racist.

The only way that username would check out is either if it was owned by a pushy and holier-than-thou social progressive with zero self-awareness, a conservative with a small world view that feels “owning the libs” is a personality trait, or a troll.

Now, considering your account was created on this platform two days ago, just called the resident population of Lemmy stupid, and drink whatever kool-aid Musk is selling, it’s a toss-up between the last two.

Much like Musk himself, it seems.

OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don’t want to see the difference.

After the posts were deleted, Musk responded in a statement, saying, “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me. For the record, I am a fat retard.”

Derogatory use of the term aside, it looks like it’s time to reset the counter back to “[0] days since Elon Musk actually said something true”

If only it were that easy. A conversation with one of them would go something more like this:

“It’s not Trump.”

“Okay, prove it!”

“I don’t need to because THIS IS AMERICA, and it’s INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.”

“Like the people arrested by ICE?”

“THEY WERE CRIMINALS!”

“Even the 93% without criminal records?”

“THAT’S FAKE NEWS, LIBTARD”

Say what you will about medieval monarchies, but at least those had the good sense to permit a court jester to speak foolishly of the head of state.

Recently?

The attack was coming from ::1

Or if that’s too unbelievable, fe80:: has some scary implications while also not likely to ever be a real device.

The other reason is that I’m kinda verbose.

Some say, “why many words when few work?”

Others express their freedom to choose exactly to what extent of verbosity and verbiage they consider necessary in order to accurately and effectively communicate their previously-unspoken thoughts either through private correspondence or statements to some subset of the general populace.

It really makes you think: which rich assholes recently bought stock in grocery store corporations?

It’s not just flagrant; it’s fragrant, too. The hypocrisy stinks like shit to high heavens.

Almost. The corporate solution nowadays is for the guy who owns all of the carts to replace the horses with AI, fire half of the drivers, then demand the remaining drivers take two carts every trip.

That sounds like a great way to end up being in Russia’s shoes with failing to win a war they started. The feudalist part of that technofedualist dystopia is undoubtedly going to have imperialistic ambitions, and—somehow—I don’t think Musk’s Optimus robots are going to be able to compensate for the fact that they’ll have less than half of the combined population of Mexico and Canada.

“I do say to [Foley], first of all, I love her, because she voted for me three times, and I think she’d vote for me again if I had that opportunity,” Trump said.

He completely dismisses her concerns, then says she would vote for him again if given the chance. He’s probably right, and that’s exactly the problem.

He doesn’t have to do anything to keep his sycophants and qultists, so why would he put any effort into doing something differently?

Nothing. It will have been a “presidential duty” immune from consequences, as ordained by the bootlickers in the SCrOTUS.
