If they had run Sanders back when the people demanded it, none of this crap would have gone down. Trump would just be an orange shit stan on the bottom of Bernie's shoe. The DNC leadership deserves all the blame here.

That's a pity. I work for a large US software company and after the war began, we made a decision to close all operations inside Russia.

We gave our employees in Russia a choice, they could either stay in Russia and get a pretty nice severance package, or they could move out of Russia and get a pretty nice repatriation package to the country of their choosing. Many went to expensive places like Sweden and got their packages converted to local pay with many months extra pay for moving expenses.

We didn't fire any Russians living outside of Russia, of course. Assuming everyone from a country is a spy is pretty silly.

IMO a lot of this had to do with Schroeder's and Merkel's connections with Russia and running the country's manufacturing base on cheap gas and oil.

Fools, invite him and then give him a free visit to The Hague.

I'm using this streaming service called Sonarr+plex. No ads so far.

Best description I've heard of X yet.

Sounds great. Only question is how we get paid well enough to live. A question which went conveniently unasked and unanswered.

I'm okay with this as long as one of the options is

"Because fuck you, that's why."

I like that she chose a sexy teacher porn star outfit for court.

I've worked in this field for 25 years and don't think that ChatGPT by itself can handle most workloads, even if it's trained on them.

There are usually transactions which must be done and often ad hoc tasks which end up being the most important things because when things break, you aren't trained for them.

If you don't have a feedback loop to solve those issues, your whole business may just break without you knowing.

Reddit won at building its own viable competitors like Kbin, Lemmy, and Squabbles and all the users of those platforms also won big from Reddit's hubris. The one thing I know for sure is that they have grown Lemmy by 7000%, and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Time will tell what happens to Reddit.

As someone who grew up before computers and smartphones were commonplace, for the most part you could still life in the same way as you did before computers and smartphones, because all the things you'd need still exist. You'd just be horribly out of the loop of the way modern life functions.. But you could do it.

What's interesting is that pretty much no one wants to live this way any more. It was pretty damn boring a lot of the time.
