Same. I wasn't alive at the time, but just looking at history it doesn't seem like the advancements from the 40s to the ~80s were as significant as the 80s onward. The atom bomb was a huge technological achievement, but apart from instilling a whole new fear into the population, it doesn't compare to the impact the semiconductor and specifically personal computers have had on our lives.

I get why people over 60 struggle. There was absolutely nothing like it for most of their lives. I grew up with dial up and AOL, and while those are gone, I understand the same core technological concepts that evolved from them, and I don't expect anything nearly so revolutionary happening to us. I mean, it'd be cool, and if it happens I hope I could adapt.

Her wiki page is probably better credentials, but honestly anyone who's been in this hobby more than a few years should know of her reputation. She helped design the CR-30 if nothing else.

I'm hoping it's just people knew to the hobby and not her being silenced taking a toll on her presence.

Honestly it doesn't feel too far to me, and I generally detest doxxing as a tactic.

We trust and depend on journalists to expose and spread the truth and tell the stories people should see, but it's never supposed to be at the expense or exploitation of vulnerable people. It's one thing to expose the personal details of say, a hypocritical politician, but putting an individual's life at risk just to spice up a story seems to violate most journalistic ethics I'm familiar with.

Agreed. I'm guessing it's written in law something like $100,000 per download or something, and it got downloaded a lot.

It financially ruins him for life and sends a strong message though, which is presumably the point.

The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.

He can't, and won't, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney's favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won't, and shouldn't, stop hitting him with everything they got.

Yeah, like what do they expect? Another foreign military intervention?

That will not happen again for decades at best. Longer if all the developed nations really learn from America's mistake this time.

Sure, we can sanction them, but any aid just gets intercepted, so that's out. It sucks so many Afghans are suffering under the system, but it's the system they let happen. Did they want to be an occupied country forever? Was this a fight America was expected to wage indefinitely? Twenty years was already too long.

• i know it is wrong but i dont know how to fix it

Get off Lemmy and go back to your elementary school English class?

I assume it's just the pace, but overall there's plenty of reasons to be frustrated.

There's already talk about how some of these cases might not be resolved until after the election, at which point, depending on how it goes, could be extremely problematic.

It feels frustrating because it's mid-2023, and we may "run out of time" by end of 2024. People ask what the fuck was happening for 2.5 years? The reality of course is justice is not always, nor necessarily should be swift, and getting these investigations even started takes time to say nothing of collecting evidence and putting together a case. But also, 20 years ago even a single criminal indictment probably would have spelled the end of a Presidential campaign, and instead, Trump is successfully fundraising off of these charges and leading the polls.

It's all just bonkers.

I can stop drinking coffee at any time.

... but why would I, when it's legal and easily available?

Just like pot in my state, in the back.

The difference is "We don't want to raise the listed prices on our menu."

No, because the difference of seeing a $19.99 price versus a $20.00 price is that I see it up front. That's more honest than tacking on a $21.50 hidden fee after the fact.

Given that the AMD vulnerability was called "Inception," maybe they just like using movie titles to name CPU vulnerabilities?

This is why restaurants seal their to-go bags now.

Haven't had a thing go missing since the pandemic, when that practice became common place.

It's not. It's a common mathematical fallacy stumbled upon by crackpots who think they're geniuses and have found a fundamental problem with math.

There's a math professor at Harvard who gets sent this "proof" like once a month.

They planned on implementing a change, and we protested that change, but users and mods gave in and that change happened anyway. The protest failed.

You can reframe that all you want, but we did not accomplish the actual objective of the protest, which was changes to API pricing. We lost.

I was a mod too. A very active user too. I left. And I'm happy I left, but that's just being happy that defeat doesn't taste nearly so bitter because there are viable alternatives.

Most mods who actually cared were purged and replaced with lackeys which I'd bet money on were checked to see if they use the official app.

The new and current mods won't be a problem. They'll happily eat this bullshit straight from the trough.

Right? Like someone actually wrote that.

After what Spez did. A few weeks ago. Fuck, maybe Spez himself wrote it.

I know we lost and the protests failed, but still, to write something like that... Doesn't actually surprise me, but also I'd think even a total moron would have enough self awareness not to say that.

I mean, boo hoo?

I bought a house, not because I wanted an investment, but I wanted a place to live. Fuck the CCP, but man were they on the money saying "Houses are for living in," their current, ironic, housing bubble aside. Houses are homes. You want an investment vehicle, buy stocks or bonds.

If the people who see housing as an investment are outweighed by the people who simply want an affordable home as a right, it's become an unsustainable and unjust privilege and needs to be rectified.

Also, I think this ignores the larger factors of: poor zoning due to NIMBY-friendly policies at the local level, and corporate greed as companies, not people, buy up supply. Solve these two problems and we don't have to pick between housing as a right and housing as an investment.

We didn't cut off all their profit potential. It's just limited.

I don't really see the problem with this hypothetical. Small time flippers are unaffected. 10% or whatever profit is still profit. If it disincentivizes big commercial flippers or investors because they can no longer make "enough" profit, good, that's the point.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Economists want a perfect supply-demand capitalist dreamland. Demand drastically outstripping supply indicates something is wrong with The System^{TM and that's not acceptable, so they want to fix The System}TM .

It's clear the demand is there, so it's not a consumer problem. The supply is super-limited and being reduced every day. That's a supply problem. The only options are incentives (don't really work in this situation) or regulation (which economists hate but no other choice).

I assume most economists just don't want to see what happens when that system reaches an absolute breaking point, so sign on for regulations it is.
