Casually Admitting to Buying a Candidate

The loophole is the super-pac is legally not trump's campaign. It's an independent organization that just happens to promote trump's campaign.

McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens
The shareholders probably care, but to the layman, expecting 6.61 billion and only earning 6.49 billion doesn't amount to much. They're not going anywhere.

The owner - the man who invested his capital - he's important - in fact he's the whole cheese
A big peeve of mine is when someone says they did something, "I remodeled my floors, I painted the walls, I fixed my car, i put in a fence", when they really mean they hired people to do these things. It's straight up taking credit for other people's work and it's normalized.
I grew up poor where hiring help was rare so when someone said they did something, they always said it proudly and they meant they did it themselves.
Now I always ask and point out they didn't do anything. I'm really fun that way. But honestly i think the language matters. For big jobs i personally say I had the walls painted or I got the car fixed since that implies getting someone else to do it.

Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims
Reply in thread
In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.
This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn't work, or if was just disabled and therefore not "engaged".

Dang good catch on the second user, I wouldn't have noticed since I usually don't look at people's profiles.
It's kind of funny that reddit will become this chamber of advertisers making posts and fake users "engaging" while the real people all migrate to lemmy.

Putin Orders Russian Tech Companies To Somehow Make Competitive Game Console In 3 Months

This is what I was thinking. For a first iteration to get out the door immediately it could just be windows with a "game browser" that launches full screen when you turn it on 😂

Public trust in AI is sinking across the board
Reply in thread
Took a look and the article title is misleading. It says nothing about trust in the technology and only talks about not trusting companies collecting our data. So really nothing new.
Personally I want to use the tech more, but I get nervous that it's going to bullshit me/tell me the wrong thing and I'll believe it.

as soon as you pay for 12 consecutive months, you will receive this perpetual fallback license providing you with access to the exact product version for when your 12 consecutive months subscription started.
So at most your software will be 1 year old.

I "bought" this game when I was in high school. I've graduated high school, college, and I've been in the workforce for 7 years. Still no game.
So yes, they should figure out this game is going to be, set a launch date, and work towards that schedule. This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.
Edit: Alright, it's not fair to say "still no game." There is a game you can download and play, but the question I have is does it have all the bells and whistles you expect from a complete game, or is it a technical demo with some game features? See my other comment in this comment chain for why my opinion is what it is.

Why do more widely-adopted OSS take so long to review patches?
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a lot of open source software is volunteer based and unpaid.
There might be cases where orgs will lend developers to work on a project, but with the org's interests in mind, so if the patch isn't in their interest, then those devs won't look at it.

If there were no homeless, then I couldn't charge rent.
I like how the article dramatically says "fact check verdict false" to the original claim of 22 houses per homeless person, and then clarifies there's actually 31 per homeless person.

Trump backs out of debate as camp says it's 'inappropriate to schedule things with Harris'

It's not even a good excuse because even if they did change their minds, he could still attempt to debate whoever it is on the scheduled date.

They're not raising prices at peak times, just lowering prices at off peak times. (It's the same thing)

I'm not saying AI was the culprit, but...
Reply in thread
They would have been focusing on "AI" since before chatgpt/genAI.
This is a place where you actually do want machine learning to categorize threats. This is a different ai than chatgpt ai. We just call everything AI now cus why not.
But yea, they fucked up.

a cool guide to diets
For those interested, science vs is a great podcast where they review the latest research studies and interview scientists publishing papers about various topics, with all their sources cited.
They have a few weight loss/diet episodes, and while everyone here is correct about how different food has different impacts on the body, it seems like science always concludes that losing weight comes from eating less food no matter the diet.
So while this post may be oversimplified, if your goal is just to lose weight, it's not wrong. Maybe not healthy, but not wrong.
The podcast is targeted at the layman, so it's not just boring academics talking about things, check it out.
