I always knew that the borg were Australians.

(I joke, Australians are lovely people)

Generally the US is very good about paying back its debts. However, under Trump this hasn’t always been the case…

This is generally why the US bond market is so heavy in foreign investment, frankly.

If only I could have that type of weight while eating burgers or pizza. 😭

Ofcourse they’d employ trump’s tactic of racking up costs and simply refusing to pay. I’d say the student learns from the master, but I’m not sure which one is which here.

That’s the way people should be looking at it. It basically means hard crashes are extremely rare in the firefox ecosystem.

To be fair, I can’t remember the last time a browser crashed on me in general.

To be fair to Cash for Clunkers, the intent was to get people on better gas efficiency cars, not to downgrade people to worse cars. California policy is the one that mandated cameras on newer cars, but also to be fair there it does reduce incidents of crashing during reverse.

I think Microsoft shouldn’t really be making plans around windows based on the state of the government today and should be concerned with how it changes just 6 months from now.

Not sure how they could be confident in the idea of selling hardware to users right now, considering even the cost of thin clients is stupidly high.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing here.

Oh man, I loved the opening and ending to Zeta gundam which it turns out he wrote. Rest in peace my friend.

64gb of ram is very useful for 3d modeling and other hobby arts.

Used to be cheap AF too. Shame

Shouldn’t a wishlist mean that it isn’t shipped at all though? Why would wishlisting expose your home address?

Yeah… As someone who uses fightcade occasionally, moderation on these services when they’re non-federated are a real problem.

No way, not my buddy!

The world’s first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

Cool. Wasn’t sure about the idea of more evangelion but I’ll keep an open mind. It’ll be interesting to see what Tsurumaki has left to say in the Eva universe and it’s definitely very interesting that Yoko Taro is working on the script. So it’s easy to say it beat my expectations.

Wouldn’t it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?

I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.

It will still show the channel in search results, which really sucks if they’re a prominent channel in a specific field.

I find it so crazy that there’s no “Ignore this channel” feature on Youtube.

Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to prevent people from blocking or ignoring channels they hate?

The Sally Bowles Effect

Used products in Japan are generally stupidly cheap. Something about the culture makes it so that people generally look at old devices as worthless and non-new devices are occasionally shunned.

Anyway, good write up and grats on the PSP. Good luck with the next one too.

I get it, but also the internet sucks these days and it’s hard to make money on advertising alone. I can’t blame a reputable journal for asking for money to see the articles they publish, and since I tolerate all sorts of patreon business models, I have to be realistic in thinking that this is going to be the only path forward for real journalism. It’s a shame, but it just seems to have worked out this way.
