Funny how a company that is known for extortion is parading itself as something that looks out for cheating in reviews.

When will these bugs be fixed? I prefer to face to the right and would also like to be able to sleep on my stomach

It's public business if any politician is fit to serve us, whether they're having health issues, conflicts of interest, or anything else. He can just say "I had a few issues/seizures (etc.). I'm taking care of things and getting medical treatment. I'm doing well, and I'm fit to serve. Now let's move on"

But of course he says nothing like that.

And this incident has been reported. As have all your activities, searches, sites, and keystrokes

They've been made to believe things like this:

1. They'd be able to make more than they're making if taxes were less. In effect, their employer and wealthier individuals would share the additional after-tax income.

2. Job prospects would be better. More promotion opportunities, less layoffs, etc. Also, more vacation time, sick leave, etc would be available.

3. Just about everything bad that happens economically can be linked to higher taxes.

4. Prices for everything would be lower.

I'm not defending these views, but this is just what some people believe, and it explains their voting actions. I used to be one such person and I still live among people who see taxes like this. Blame Fox, radio, and similar outlets for spreading misinformation

It's hilarious that Microsoft will be testifying on the antitrust behaviors of another company.

I agree Google can be taken down a few notches, but it defeats the purpose of Microsoft can't also take some spotlight over the Windows 10, 11, and Edge shenanigans.

Their whole ecosystem is built on antitrust behaviors.

Bluetooth still has its place in several instances. From what I can tell, this wifi protocol depends on you having a WiFi network mediate the connection, such as at your house or at a Cafe. Bluetooth is true ad hoc requiring no middleman.

Bluetooth struggles with bandwidth enough that it affects sound quality and latency, but that doesn't mean it's unusable. It also has enough range that I beats some other competing wireless protocols as well.

I'd love to see WiFi or a higher bandwidth option come out, and I'm hoping this is the beginning of that. They may have to resolve issues with channel conflicts and the need for network mediation. It would be awesome for gaming.

From what I understand, they're divesting resources that aren't in Firefox or at least involved in a trustworthy/open source AI project.

I see a lot of people in this theead are upset at this, but I'm tentatively excited. If they can pull off a good AI engine, especially built into the browser, that would be nice. If it had offline capabilities, that would be amazing.

Even if they can pull off a good AI solution that's not built into Firefox but it's offline, I'd be really excited. I'm not crazy about having especially detailed and intimate information being thrown to some vendor out there, not knowing where it's going. Modern AI can do some amazing things, but a lot of them reserve the right to have a human read whatever you put in them and warn you about that. This is too limiting to me for my preferred use-cases.

One concern I have is that Firefox and its engine are one of the last non-chromium browser platforms that have a household name and are FOSS. So to me, that has to be the first goal to keep healthy. Maybe the AI thing will help in this respect

Having tested Android 14 a while, there have been some nice battery life improvements. I'd consider that worthwhile.

Yeah, but what if I want:

• pre-2010 graphics
• a free rootkit
• a single ugly stagnant map with no skins
• a single and unchangeable and uninspired drone of an announcer
• a game whose bug-ridden, laggy client leaks memory and processes
• a game whose client prevents you from spectating pro games, past and present
• a pro scene rampant with match fixing and ads injected into the horrendous casting

If not League of Legends, where else am I gonna get all of that from?

I'm sure he was out of breath looking for his fix. This intervention needed to happen

If they go from the resolution they used to native 4k, they waste a lot of battery life. If they go the other way, you have low res. I think they happened to pick within a golden DPI range. Not too high or low.

On KDE Wayland, I really don't really see any blurriness issues. I'm not even on KDE 6 yet.

Well, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it's your first, middle, and last name at the same time

If biology for humans were such that both participants had an unpredictable, uncontrollable, 50/50 chance to carry the baby, abortion access for all and would be a non-issue.

Alternatively, if Jerry Falwell never existed, it still wouldn't be nearly as contentious an issue.

What do you mean Albuquerque has fewer people than NYC? One time I was at this cafe in Albuquerque and it was packed!

I use Kagi for everything, and use DDG and Google as backup searches. Usually, if Kagi didn't get me what I want, others won't either. I still prefer using multiple engines when looking into certain things, and that's no fault of Kagi.

Best feature IMO is personal ranking and DenyListing. For example, I can downrank Microsoft.com from my results, uprank StackOverFlow, and block CNet from my results. I can also downrank or block SEO nonsense sites from my results. I use this feature carefully, because I don't want to create my own bubble, but some sites are empirically terrible quality

I'm rooting for Intel in these efforts. Hopefully someone can pressure TSMC 's prices down and maybe even offer alternative fab sources for chips. Especially with the geopolitical situations with China.

I probably sound like a crazy person, but sometimes I worry about too much global reliance on TSMC and their plants usually being in Asia. Diversity should keep the market more affordable and at lower overall risk.

I had to look up that hand gesture because I'd never heard of it, and finding out what is pissed me off. Are they fucking serious? The O-K hand gesture??

It's so evil and rotten to try to corrupt such a common, useful, and benign hand gesture and to try to turn that into a symbol of hate. Absolutely enraging

If Rittenhouse hadn't even murdered or physically harmed anyone, I'd still say he's worth society's most energetic condemnation on his views alone.

Technically he needs to sell way more if he intends for the sales to fully cover his legal costs. 900,000 * 399 = 359,100,000 but that's pure Revenue. The shoes likely have a cost per unit and then Trump has to pay taxes on that Revenue, not to mention other business operations costs. He might need to sell 30 to 50 percent more of those shoes.

His legal settlements are 83,300,000 for the E Jean Carol suit and 355,000,000 for NYC, which might actually be way more than that after other factors and interest (I don't know exactly what he owes for the NYC case, bit it's 355M minimum, maybe up to 450M and with contingent interest depending on when it's paid).

He actually has to put the FULL AMOUNT of each settlement for the government to hold for each case he chooses to appeal, and may even owe interest if he loses the appeals.

I'm just a tired stranger on the internet who tried to put some numbers together. If I got something wrong, let me know and I'll correct it

Antonin Scalia's replacement blockade comes to mind.

What do you have to say about all that Mitch?

Mitch: ....... O.O ........
