Yup. Money is important only in that it leads to control and power.

True, but misses the point. The user interface is basically broken now, and the fact that you can scroll down to something useful doesn't mean the broken bits don't matter.

Should actually be "Trouȝt."

The world will be a better place when he's no longer in it.

Why are you like this?

It's listed as medium severity and appears to require the hacker to already have terminal access to the system. It's also already patched and there's a quick and easy workaround if your distro doesn't have the fix yet.

Should actually be "Thy reply appeareth."

Should actually be "thou shalt."

And that's why I'm never buying a new NVIDIA device ever again. They get no money from me.

Fight.

The only thing - the only thing - these fucking oligarchs care about is money. That's it. Nothing else. Not even their own lives. Money is all. So deny it to them.

Buy used computer equipment. Never new. Stop using Google. Stop using Amazon. Definitely 100% stop using ChatGPT, Claude, or any other LLM. If you feel you have to use an AI model for some reason, save up and invest in a machine capable of running small models locally.

Make the AI companies bleed. And at the same time, reward other companies that do the right thing. That want to sell something other than dumb terminals with AI wired in.

I mean, fuck, there are plenty of companies that hate this shit too, because it destroys their businesses. Not their business models, their actual fucking businesses. No game developer or PC manufacturer is any happier with these AI monsters eating all the RAM than we are. They know if it persists it'll put them out of business. It's not like Dell or HP wanted to just stop being able to sell hardware.

Sure, but there are going to be brain injuries and other disabilities that have a limiting effect on IQ, which would lower the mean relative to the median at least a little. And it's hard to imagine there's an equivalent upward trend of genius outliers.

It's not necessarily half. There could be a group that is a fair bit less than half, but are so dumb they throw the averages off.

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
