Privatized gains, socialized losses. This is why americans will never have acceptable public healthcare or education.

But hey, your favorite corporation's line went up so smile

Re:Arcan Display Server 0.6.2 – It’s all connected on Monday July 18, 2022 @01:24AM (#32134984)
They made cool stuff but with a complete disregard for a lot of what the rest of the industry has been up to and as a result have and are trying to reinvent wheels they are under-qualified to reinvent. The display server is dope but they don't need to be trying to design a new paradigm of distributed compute in their networking layer, they got beat to that faster and better by other products.

Go do direct action and build dual power. Quit thinking you can pay someone to do the right thing for you.

Americans aren't going to increase immigration, it's just not going to happen.

This is just hybrid-cloud with IaC and Hyperconverged systems. Looking to VMware to define your terms isn't the best idea considering they just copied ClusterAPI's homework and called it Tanzu.

Pigs and chickens too fat to walk or unable to eat with their beaks sawed off would require care until the end of their lives etc...

And that's humans fault, not theirs.

You can't simply throw up your hands and walk away from a century of animal eugenics

Yes, global warming is a man-made problem and you should grow a vegetable or find something else to do besides dump nitrates into the water table.

I kept getting told that if I didn't love it, to leave it. So I did and it's been great.
Nation invests in the health of future generations instead of maiming swaths of the workforce unecessarily. It's a good move
Re:How to Tax Cloud Computing? on Sunday July 17, 2022 @02:16PM (#32129453)
And on the electricity, the real-estate, the income, the employee payroll...

Unless you're a hyperscaler then you just don't. I wonder how mark thinks they won't just dodge this one as well

Re:How to Tax Cloud Computing? on Sunday July 17, 2022 @01:51PM (#32129191)
No mark we don't need digital realestate taxes we need the hyperscalers to pay their regular ass taxes they're supposed to be paying and enforce sustainability regulations.

Re:The 13-Inch MacBook Air on Saturday July 16, 2022 @05:07AM (#32116351)
Really hope x86 virtualization/translation gets better. Love the battery life and snappiness of the 16inch model I have from work but docker and other stuff I need daily to work on x86 projects is worse than on my 2015 Razer laptop.

I really would love to pick up an air for personal use though and just ssh/vnc into my Linux machines remotely

Because doctors historically give only about 60% of a shit what happens to AFAB bodies, less if that body isn't white.
Re:Crypto Winter, or Crypto Ice Age? on Saturday July 16, 2022 @01:28AM (#32115462)
I pay friends in the us regularly via Wise and PayPal and it arrives within seconds every time - all while crypto is folding, doing layoffs, running away with people's money etc.. it's not even a competition. I will take wise + Ideal any day over any crypto or US bank I have ever used.
so we give a bunch of paranoid scaredy boys guns and authority - nothing bad will happen I bet

I can catch a tram every 4 minutes during peak times a block from my apt in NL. I haven't had to drive in years.
