Doesn’t Microsoft (an American company) fully own Nokia now?

Gated communities and Homeowners Associations were originally invented to keep black and hispanic people out. Simple as that. They are still used as tools of segregation from a paranoid populace.

Oh man, continuous 500hp, 1k short burst at each wheel. I think my car caught fire just thinking about it…

Nothing says ‘I’m shitty’ more than naming yourself ‘Nothing’.
I mean…that’s an odd take. Don’t know how someone could be so upset over the name of a company, but hey let that anger out.
Oh, wait, using meta/facebook makes you even shittier.
No arguments there though.

So I’ve been holding onto my OnePlus 6T because it was the closest thing to a Nexus after they destroyed it and migrated it into the Pixel program.
I’ve been eyeballing Nothing for a while now, but it looks like before I could even get one, they’re already off the market for me.
There’s all sorts of reasons taxing all compute over a certain threshold is stupid. I ignored it because it’s ignorant of the facts at hand.
At one point or another, compute was scaling exponentially for customers - one day that might begin to happen again. Laws move slowly - and will stupidly end up at a point where the average joe has that level of compute in his phone. Congrats, now you’ve decided to tax everyone because of “compute over a certain threshold”.

Being written in C++ doesn’t keep it from being reverse engineered in exactly the same way. All code can be reversed. It’s a little easier with Java because java isn’t turned directly into machine-code at compile-time.
You have to tax something that they are doing that an individual is not. If you tax “all compute” then they’re just gonna pull the same shit they do with straws and blame the individual.
You have to tax the action that is replacing a human worker. If a human job is displaced, it gets taxed. Want to AI generate some massive image through prompts? How much would it take a human to complete the job? Take some % of that, and charge it. Play it somewhere along the lines of “Intelligence deserves pay”, and since it’s artificial intelligence - it doesn’t have rights to spend its own pay (or the need to) so put it into a universal income fund.
We’re reaching a post-scarcity society now. We should be making lives easier for everyone.

Imagine legitimately believing Bedrock is “ahead” of java in any way, lol - There are “features” that bedrock has, which are the REASON Java is better. None of the coins bullshit, better and more developed mod scene, none of the desyncing issues where you fall to your death on the server, but it looks like you’re standing on a pillar on your local client, etc.
In my opinion, every AI “worker”, should have to be paid …maybe half minimum wage, and that wage, goes into a universal income fund to be dispersed to the citizens directly. Adjust “half”, for how much pressure needs to be applied to corporations…
Maybe laws adjusted so the amount of work AI does would be on-par with how much a person could…and then billed as such.

It is, but that code is run through a scrambler that makes it more difficult to read for a human, but basically a trivial task for a computer to undo anyways.
So we’re just burning CPU cycles by scrambling it, and then just unscrambling it anyways – so Microsoft is just saying “why scramble it at all then?”
This should, in theory, make it easier for people with less experience coding, to read and understand what’s going on.
AI to remove jobs from workers. 1000%. That’s what the hype is now. Capitalist see workers as an expense. They’re working on getting rid of you any way they can.
Viral infections don’t typically last over the course of several months. I get that there’s a lot of people who want antibiotics for viral things, I don’t take them when I don’t need them.
https://aafa.org/allergies/allergy-symptoms/sinusitis-sinus-infection/
Many viral sinus infections are followed by bacterial infections if they go on long enough.

If you think I’m arguing for them, I’m not.

No, they put in a lot of money for these office buildings, and they’re sitting unused. They have leases they still have to pay.

Yes, but almost every viral infection I’ve ever had…comes with bacterial infection as an additional “feature”

It helps with the bacterial infection that I get and my sinuses are BLOODY RAW from sniffling for the last week!

BazziteDX? – It’s Bazzite but for developers
They started with the mobile division only, and eventually bought the whole company out.
