You don’t necessarily get common sense with money, especially if you are very wealthy.

So the North Koreans didn’t even send weapons with those troops? Sounds a bit weird, why train the troops with new gear? NK gear should be compatible enough that they can keep them supplied with older Russian ammo, right?

I also don’t think it will be that drastic, but I can totally see the Russians pushing inexperienced North Korean troops in the thick of the fighting.

If there are any significant changes in direction from the election, that should take effect in February next year, right? The current admin could still sign over the whole army to Ukraine next month, even if the Russians got literally all the votes in the current US election.

In most states where unions are not overregulated like in the US, a layoff has at least the consequence of substantial severances, and the business being unable to hire back for the positions it just laid off without incurring very significant fines.

The problem is that we judge its success by how much the wealthiest people bet on its success in a glorified casino instead of anything else, like its positive impact on society.

A plane can continue to fly without a pilot. The problem is not “continuing to exist”, but continued success or a spectacular crash.

Also, I’d bet on Dropbox being able to function quite well without its CEO.

You can actually, evolution is driven by selective reproduction, not selective survival. Yes, reproduction is usually tied to survival, but natural selection would still work even if everyone always lived to 80.

It would not select for traits useful for survival though, it would most likely select for traits that get you laid.

You are a MAU if you use the platform once a month by opening the app by mistake, and also if you doom scroll for 10 hours a day.

You continue to be one if you go from one to the other. Musk has been cherry picking stats before, so what they release will be the nicest numbers they can find.

What makes a democracy a democracy?

Trump is not original, most right-wingers in Europe copy Putin and Hitler, so does Trump in a lot of ways.

Thanks to Wall Street, all markets are betting markets.

I think it’s more correlation than causation, Russian interference being the common cause.

Yeah, the real difference is that Iron Man did more work in a 3-hour movie than Musk in his whole life.

Isn’t 4IG half the country economy now? Hard to not have a contract with them.

Anyway, I guess we’ll see.

Thanks for your service, unironically

RTL got bribed or what?

I’m running Fedora KDE on a Framework laptop and a custom built machine, but they are all AMD so IDK about Nvidia cards.

As I’ve heard Nvidia nowadays releases Linux drivers.

TBH I haven’t had any problems installing and using Linux for years now, I think just go for it and see what happens.

My current Linux machine needed exactly zero config post install, and even stuff like the fingerprint reader is working, I’m using it instead of passwords in a terminal.

I can also play games pretty well, it’s usually smoother and less buggy than on Windows.

I feel Linux is not a compromise for me anymore, Windows is fast becoming one though.

Piping VSCode Server through SSH is pretty nifty.
